Chicago basketball star Scottie Pippen and his 6 Footer…Sandwich
September 9th, 2008 by Scott Marks
WTF? Why is there a sports related post on EC? Didn’t Marty teach us all that anything with a ball is no good? When they paint the enemy in such a hilarious light, and repeatedly interrupt The Late, Late Movie with the damn thing , even a die hard sportsaphobe like myself had to take notice. No doubt Marty would applaud the way Scottie’s writers smuggle sexuality into this seemingly innocuous fast food ad.
Thank God that I wasn’t the only one to archive a copy of this Freudian 1991 TV spot for Mr. Submarine. This defining moment in Chicago television history finds “Chicago Basketball Star” Scottie Pippen having a foursome with two Luvabulls and a well-endowed sub sandwich.

Double dribble, girls and plenty of ball-handling!
“This is one six-footer I can’t handle one-on-one. Ladies, let’s have a party!” Imagine the possibilities of a submarine sandwich that comes with its own drink.
To make sure that no one misses the subliminal implications, a phallic sub being dunked into a soft, annular net closes the piece. Be sure to freeze the shot of Scottie sitting cross-legged on the court and biting into his footlong.

Quiet, genius at work!
