Dunkin Taps Jen Affleck to Front $6 Value Affleck Ad as Ben Affleck Cameos

The spot winks at a disproved family link to turn a reality-TV rumor into a product push.

Overview

  • Released Sept. 15, the minute-long commercial centers on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck introducing herself as the “Value Affleck.”
  • She promotes Dunkin’s $6 Meal Deal, which includes a breakfast sandwich, six-piece hash browns, and a medium hot or iced coffee, while ribbing Ben Affleck’s age and cachet.
  • Ben appears at the drive-thru window to answer the jabs, calling himself a “totally average 53” after her on-camera roast.
  • Coverage underscores that Jen and Ben are not related, reflecting the walk-back of earlier claims on the Hulu series.
  • Jen says the shoot was her first acting gig and notes that Ben’s daughter, a fan of her show, attended the set.
