Don’t insult our intelligence, Subway!
I know we’ve been posting a lot about commercials lately here at Songspeak, but Subway has raised my ire like my ire’s never been raised before.
Last year, Subway ran a Scrabble promotion (similar to McDonald’s Monopoly promotion), and aired the following commercial for it:
This year, Subway is running the same promotion. However, since the last time, they now also have their Five Dollar Footlong promotion. Instead of coming up with a new ad campaign for this year’s Scrabble promotion, or even shooting a new commercial, Subway gives us this:
Do they think we’re not smart enough to realize it’s the EXACT SAME commercial? Or that they poorly photoshopped ads for five dollar footlongs all over the place?
We’re not stupid, Subway, so don’t treat us like we are. I would expect this kind of behavior from Arby’s, but not you.

George wants a McDLT!
Bill sent me an IM today in which he told me the following, “Today my left hander’s calendar says: ‘Did you know that before he became famous as George Costanza on Seinfeld, lefty funnyman Jason Alexander’s biggest claim to fame was singing and dancing in McDonald’s McDLT sandwich commercial in 1985?’”
As usual with most comments involving fast food, this sparked a lively and lengthy conversation about the McDLT, what it was, how it’s similar to the Big N’ Tasty, and Bill’s previous love of the McPizza. However, Bill sent me a link to said commercial, and, well, there are no words, really. [Oh yes there are - Matt]
I wonder if Jason Alexander ever hung out with Bruce Willis in the 80’s while dining on McDLT’s and drinking Seagram’s Golden Wine Cooler? Maybe Bruce sang, “Seagram’s, Golden Wine Cooler, it’s wet and it’s dry!” while Jason sang, “McDonald’s, McDLT, it’s hot and it’s cold!”

Slide to the left, slide to the right… slide to McDonald’s?
Everybody clap your hands! I love how McDonald’s decided to use The Cha Cha Slide in one of its Happy Meal commercials. I think it’s great. In fact, I’m lovin’ it.
Originally developed and recorded by DJ Casper in 1996 for Bally’s Total Fitness,The Cha Cha Slide Part 2 by Mr. C The Slide Man (aka DJ Casper) Featuring The Platinum Band was recorded later. Because in part 2, they felt the desire to get funky. You can practically taste the funk as this kid eats his apple slices in the aforementioned Happy Meal commercial:
The Cha Cha Slide Part 2 itself has provided some serious line-dancing action in clubs, at weddings, proms, and parties across the U.S. and beyond. Better watch the video now, or you’ll look like a jackass at your niece’s Super Sweet 16 party.
