Sub Ad Not So Super Super

by Balk posted @2:40 PM


Canadian sandwich chain Mr. Sub was forced to withdraw this commercial touting its consistency after a number of complaints. Have a look at the spot and see if you can figure out what might have been so upsetting about it. Anyway, it's more evidence for my theory that Canada is turning evil.

    "Gay gay" would have been okay. But "super super gay" just won't play in Peoria.

    Their Tradition of out of the box advertising had to end sometime… still won't change the fact that Canadian cities Have more sexy per capita than anywhere else in North America I can deal with an evil Canada if Toronto maintains such a high rate of foxy.

    So he really did get that good, good loving from Mr. Submarine*

    *this will only make sense to fellow Canadians of my demographic. And they will find it HILARIOUS, I promise you.

    Mary, Sarah, Emily, Josh(ua), Gideon, James, Sam(uel), Michael, Honey…. Wait, what the fuck? Honey? That's not in the Bible! And WHERE THE FUCK IS METHUSALAH. That goddamm brat is late again for dinner. I'm gonna beat the devil out of that little shit.

    So, I'm guessing that it wasn't that he was Gay, it was that he was a Christian Gay! Why so serious? Don't they know you can pray that away?

    I think by the smile on his face that he meant gay meaning happy.

    Is it because being gay is a "bad" surprise? Cuz that could be a little offensive. Yeah.

    I'm just offended because he was so doughy. If he were really "super super gay" he would be so ripped that his shirt would be tearing apart at the seams, revealing well-oiled muscles and probably, like, a studded harness and some nipple rings. This is blatantly false advertising, and I hope this company goes down for it in whatever serves as the Canadian equivalent of "court".

    Awww, that's directed by my boy Brian Lee Hughes. I knew it before I even checked the credits. He cray-cray… but in the absolute bestest way. My worlds collide on the Awl!

    I already think "Gay Lesbian Bacon and Tomato" whenever I hear GBLT. This only makes me more confused.
