A Pimp Named DaveR

In reply to Desperate Chuck Fans in Futile Sandwich Frenzy
Subway has "a few folks we work with in Hollywood who we consider our secret weapons." He declined to name them, "because we prefer that they remain secret."

I'm guessing that one of them is the guy from Chuck.

I'm guessing that one of them is Wendy Farrington.

Who really holds a sandwich on their forearm like that? Must've been pushed by the Subway rep who was present at the shooting of the episode. "Yeah, make sure he holds it stretched out on his forearm, because everybody knows a person's forearm is exactly the same length as their foot, and the sandwich is called a Footlong, hello metaphor! This is NBC so we really need to spell this shit out."

@Arceus: He's holding it the way some dads cradle a newborn ("football style" is what the parenting books call it), perhaps as a way of getting women-with-ticking-biological-clocks to associate Subway with having kids. Genius!

Sorry, but this pales in comparison to the McFlurrie episode of 30 Rock.

@Macloserboy: Though 30 Rock got no money from McD's, they say. [nymag.com]

My "favorite" product placements are from the early seasons of TNT's The Closer which had cast members displaying packages of Keebler cookies with the same obviousness as shown on Chuck. That stopped, finally.

I went to high school with the dude that plays "Chuck." He was that guy that interrupts class to sing a "silly song" he made up: nauseating. Nobody liked him then either. To see guys like that find "success" produces the same feeling that permeated the nation under Bush. I guess it's no surprise that retards with ambition can convince corporations to throw money at them. Maybe he'll be at the reunion in a helicopter?

@boozeshaman: Seriously? "Nobody liked him in high school" isn't really an insult, unless high school was actually the best time of your life.

@boozeshaman: Sorry. I guess you're so used to being hugely popular and loved by all you haven't built up the immunity to being rejected that it takes to make it in show biz -- hence, you're a well-liked nobody and he's a rich celeb.

I once read that Subway now has more franchises than McDonald's. That's a lot of sales of shitty food!

I hope all eight of those "Chuck" fans are hungry...

Yes, I'm sure all the South Asian folks with not-so-great English skills who work at NY area Subways will be quite supportive of your Save Chuckery.
