#3 Good Old Southern Snide Humor .... YES
But I am sure it got the attention they were seeking .

But their Sub's don't cost Over $2M to make nor $250K a serving.

#4 And I'd bet they are playing the woke nonsense like Subway with that Rapinoe soccer player thing.

#9 You know, I haven't bought from Subway since the "Rapinoe thing" went down.
I just may have to go get one now.

#11 Our subs, short and soft, are okay...
Though the tuna is funny that way...
But at Subway the meat
Substitutes can't be beat...
Though they say, "May contain DNA."

My local, which couldn't be more conveniently located, has done the impossible: keep me out of a dirt cheap (by local standards) sandwich shoppe for a solid decade. How? By making me simultaneously sorry for and suspicious of their lonely, morose drudges. I'd feel less guilty, and less nervous, going to the massage place.

#12 Considering how much that 'luxury' tourist drive cost the passengers -- Making fun, even if cruel fun, of 'your betters' is a right of the lower classes.

#13 Seriously? Does DM understand Titan is a Minecraft meme? Its hilarious especially considering how they explode out of me.

Its the best Subway ad I've heard since the 90s. This is like making Ryan Renolds not able to ad-lib lines in the next Deadpool because Writer's Strike.

#14 Happy Gilmore. Best ad since Happy Gilmore.

#15 "Does DM understand..." No, making fun of how weird/stupid/deranged foreigners compared to 'us Britons' is a Dailey Mail shtick.

#16 /\ ...Still, I appreciate Skidmark's posting of articles like this. Sometimes seeing an alternative perspective, even if it is yourself in carnival warped mirror, can spur a thoughtful study.

#17 It is difficult to underestimate how much the youngsters and shit memers have been laughing about the spam in a can. Only the kill joys and paid mercs would make an active case against this take.

#18 ...When Dad went to work at NASA just after the Challenger accident, he - a former Marine - was literally stunned by some of the jokes going around there at the time. In the end, that's how they dealt with it.

#19 Re: Rapinoe - If that's the best the US WNT can offer, then the squad will have a tough road to hoe at the Women's World Cup.

Re: Subway - It was great reading accounts of customers complaining to the local shop managers about that Rapinoe thing being a Subway rep.

#20 then the squad will have a tough road to hoe at the Women's World Cup.

We see what you did there.

Also, if we want to make the Women's National Team a winner, shouldn't we assemble a squad of 15 year old boys who identify as trans?

#21 :heh: IIRC, quite a few years ago the Olympics suddenly declared that all women athletes would have to take DNA tests to see if they were, well, female. A large percentage of the North Korean team abruptly had health and 'family crises' and had to go home. That was a few years after the East German doping scandal...

#23 Those Eastern European (pre-USSR fall) "women" athletes were just a joke.
