Subway food is every bit as unhealthy and disgusting as any other fast food chain.

Like with eating at any restaurant, it's all in what you order. It's possible to get a pretty healthy meal at Subway, but you need to watch what you order (and most of the meat is so loaded with salt it isn't great for you anyways.)

Its more crazy to call them footed pajamas, because no one has ever done that ever.

I think it's because they nailed the right kind of "manliness" this time. Their previous ones were all,
"It's not for women! Because GUNS and LASER BLAST EXPLOSIONS!" or something.

But a man in the woods, with a chill canoe paddling bear is just right. All Grizzly Adams up in here.

KFC's new ad campaign about their boneless chicken is loving garbage. Its people eating their new chicken and then freaking out because they "ate the bones."

I really do hope that someone at a random KFC location goofs up and puts a regular piece of bone-in chicken in a box with the boneless stuff, and some jackass accidentally eats a bone.

Those new old spice ads are awesome! I haven't seen them here.

The dude 'spergin about people saying "Veggies" is seriously crazy. poo poo abbreviations like cray-cray! are extremely annoying, but people say Veggies all the time. Also footies? I agree with the other dude, nobody says - ahem.. Footed Pajamas, because that's loving stupid.

I'm a girl but I totally get a laugh out of that one ad where the guy is fantasing the most manly thing possible, and he's on a motorcyle with a hot-rear end girl and there is some jammin' power-rock going on, and then there are guns and fireworks and the fireworks EXPLODE into an Eagle or something. It's just funny :)

Some people just don't know how to laugh.

I haven't heard that one yet, but if her rapping is anything like her kazoo playing, it's bound to suck. Personally, I think Flo is done, time for a new player.

If you order anything with bread (like, say, a sandwich), I assure you you're already hosed. It's loaded with sugar and salt. Even the whole-wheat bread is terrible for you. God forbid you get one of the speciality breads that's been "seasoned" with additional salt. Don't kid yourself, you might as well just order a Big Mac as any Subway sandwich. Something like a footlong pizza sub is way, way worse for you than pretty much any single item on the menu at McDonald's.

I suppose you could have a healthy salad or something, assuming you choose a low-fat dressing, but realistically you're always going to be several steps behind just making yourself a salad or a sandwich at home.

...This seems to be the same kitchen as the mother who pours cola into a glass and the family freaks out and who also puts a delivered pizza down in front of the family who promptly groans since they've already got takeout Chinese food to eat.

Is there one goddamned kitchen set for every infomerical ever made? Or are all of these parodies of infomercials since I've never seen them on TV and absolutely no one online knows the context to any of them?

Not only is that commercial bad, Skyline Chili is the absolute worst chili I've ever had in my life. Maybe it's a regional thing but sweet chili is an affront to God.
