It's a Moviefone ad (showing in a number of different theater chains),
and yes, the deviled eggs are a joke.

It's a joke, although apparently only "stupid" because you didn't laugh.

Uh... it's a joke. You're supposed to remember it (which you did),
remember its relation to the popcorn now sold (which you did), and buy

No one ever ate deviled eggs in the theater in the 60s, we popped up about 5
gallons of popcorn, hid 6 people and 6 six packs in the trunk, and paid only
one admission to the drive in theater.
