Jimmy John’s Just Wants to Make You Happy.

In its latest TV campaign, Jimmy John’s, America’s Sandwich Delivery Experts, relieves tense situations with foot-longs and smiling delivery men. (Actually not a bad idea.)

The company is mostly midwest-based, and its ads are friendly and earnest — deeply mid-western? — even if not wildly original. The Bomb spot did make me laugh, but the effort overall only felt so-so.

While sandwich delivery may not really resolve hostage situations or smooth out an explosive case of nerves, I guess it could calm screaming schoolchildren. For half an hour.
