Does anyone else have a problem with this series of Subway commercials?

Let's not read too deeply into these things, and take everything with a pinch of salt, otherwise we risk becoming the male version of SRS. The juvenile voices used show that it's meant to be a parody of the way young kids act, surely you remember kids in the playground saying "Let's do X otherwise weren't no friends anymore". It's a joke, that's all.

I found that just as offensive to girls tbh. It suggests that attractive women use blokes for material gain, offensive no?

Basically the ad is saying "look how amazing our sandwiches are! They are so amazing that an unattractive man will leave an attractive woman just because she nicks them." Implying they are better than sex/relationships etc.

It's offensively unfunny. Other than that, mostly harmless.

A fast food commercial getting your manties in a knot? I thought it was only women who turned priggish & got "offended".

Using stereotypes for sure. A well founded one based in reality. I would think women would claim this one "offensive". Boycott Subway & go to Quiznos, they have tastier sammiches anyway.

I couldn't find a link to the newest one, which is the most offensive one yet. I find them very insulting to men. It is blatantly attractive women using their sexuality to get what they want.

Get in the kitchen and make your own god damn samiche!
