Um....

...does invoking "2 Girls, 1 Cup" make you wanna eat?

It's a Playboy ad, not a Quizno's ad, but... seriously. The hawtness of the two girls featured in this ad (and the deliciousness of that sub) isn't quite hawt enough to obliterate memories of the revoltingness of the "2 Girls, 1 Cup" video. But maybe it's me? I'm not exactly the targeted demographic here.

Ah, what is the "2 Girls 1 Cup" video, and am I going to regret having asked that?

This isn't impressive. It *would* be impressive, however, if one of the girls shat out the sub and then they enjoyed it.

Thanks @2. From your response I think I can say "asked and answered".

I thought you never watched it. Quick, make something up.

This just shows how far fuckin behind the times Playboy is. Today's man doesn't get a hard on from seeing two girls in swimsuits eat a sub unless that sub has sperm instead of mayo.

Preferrably horse sperm.

$20 says between takes those two ran to the nearest honey bucket or whatever facilities were available on-set and puked up every last bite of those sammies.

And considering they probably did a minimum of 8 - 10 set-ups for this commercial, that would certainly have been more than enough to fill "1 cup" many times over...

NASTY, but I'm not the targeted demographic either, now put two guys there, then you might have a commerical.

Gross, not hot at all. Don't get me wrong, I'd fuck'em, but no, not hot.

Dan, I know that only wide-open vaginas could have made that a worse viewing experience for you. Your noble sacrifice is appreciated. Trust me.

I was waiting for them to start regurgitating the sub into each others mouths. But nooo, tame ol' Playboy couldn't give 2 girls 1 cup fans what they really want.

The idea of eating that much makes me feel sick, watching it confirmed it for me. Yuck.

I got about 20 seconds in before I quit. But I'm not the targeted demographic, either. And two guys doing it wouldn't have been any better.

That was one of the most ridiculous things I've seen in a while.

And what was wrong with their noses?

Then again, I'm not the targeted demographic either.

Ahh, that was cute.

Surprised that no one has pointed out the feminist implications of showing sexy women devouring a hardy meal.

@15: Destroying the phallus, too.

I think it was good fun. I especially like the "2 girls 1 cup" finish

All I can say is: I'm at least occasionally the target demographic and... no. There's a reason that Playboy Enterprises is quickly going bankrupt.

Dan, think of all the food fetishists being created by this campaign!

I'm exactly the targeted demographic, but #6 hit the nail on the head. Those two chicks were spitting out everything in between takes and then bragging to each other about how little they eat (they were probably also complimenting each other on their looks, then texting their friends that they're working with a pig).

It didn't really invoke 2 girls, 1 cup for me, because I knew that was porn straight out. This is trying to sell something... although it looks like it's trying to sell subs, not mags, but whatever. This thing doesn't work because it's too manufactured, too fake, too staged. I can't speak for all male porn consumers, but I at least, much prefer the amateur, homemade stuff. As real as it can get, even if it's not perfect (actually, especially when it's not perfect) not this completely manufactured, coca-cola porn.

Playboy stopped being porn a long time ago... actually, I'm not convinced it ever was porn.

wtf is up with the sex noises? LAME!

The Asian chick looked like she wanted to strap on the sub and go at the blonde herself. Not much room for a guy in that sandwich.

I've seen worse, but seriously, I thought it WAS a sub ad! Best wishes.

I don't think they look all that thin. In fact, the one in the green could stand to lose a few.

I hope Playboy got Quizno's OK on this.

That was actually really funny. The girls are hot as hell, but their faces - Oh my god, can you get a faker orgasm?
