In this commercial, two Jack in the Box employees (Phil and Barbara) visit Jack Box, the restaurant's mascot, in the hospital.
0:19- Medium shot of Barbara and the doctor as Barbara recites Jack's message and starts to hand him a teddy bear. We can see the concern on Barbara's face, as well as her action, the passing of the bear.
0:21- Medium shot of Jack Box as Barbara hands him the teddy bear. The shot shows both Jack's physical state and the teddy-bear passing.
0:22- Tight shot on Phil's face to show his bewilderment.
The video is actually part of a viral marketing campaign for Jack in the Box; the rest can be found out at HanginthereJack.com. Obviously, you're not supposed to take this commercial too seriously. Sure, you'd see this scene in virtually any hospital, but chances are that (a) the injured person wouldn't be a food mascot and (b) most people probably wouldn't be quite as clueless as Phil. The sequence I picked out takes both of those points and plays them up for humorous effect.
For the record, Jack pulls through. Hang in there, Phil: maybe one day, you'll have your own hamburger chain to run. Although I hope, for all our sakes, that day doesn't come for a very, very long time.
