Taco Bell Grilled Stuffed Nachos (Joke) Ad

We see a teenage boy eating Taco Bell’s Grilled Stuffed Nachos while swimming in the ocean, holding it out of the water and biting it every other stroke. Then the announcer says: “Why would you ever need to eat nachos while swimming? Well, what if your boat struck a reef and sank? If it were regular nachos, they’d all float away in different directions! That’s why there’s the new Grilled Stuffed Nachos from Taco Bell!”

Oh, but they forgot you’re supposed to wait a half an hour before swimming after eating (never mind while eating), so the boy gets cramps, drowns, and sinks to the bottom, delighting the sharks, who have always wanted to be able to eat nachos hands-free while swimming. (Sharks don’t have hands, and they’re almost always swimming, so they’re especially excited about this new offering from Taco Bell!)

Yes, boys and girls, everyone loves nachos!

Here’s the ad I’m making fun of:


Oh, but then it turns out that the boat didn’t strike a reef after all: it was the sharks! The sharks carried rocks in their mouths to break a hole in the hull of the boat so they could get to the Taco Bell Grilled Stuffed Nachos! Yum, yum! (And then they text their friends the grizzly bears to tell them how delicious these things are, and that it’s totally worth braving human society to try to get some.)
