Why am I like sort of invested in this subway kdrama now
U want to find a Partner head to Subway in China!! Lmao
"text me or forget me" … merda do caralho
That kdrama bit at the end was awsome. I was seriously rooting for the main characters while laughing at the story all at the same time 🔥🔥🔥
"Fake it while you make it" might be the best motto for the chain. We had a local Subway run by an immigrant guy that lasted only about 6 months. Why? He kept cheating on the sandwiches– every week he would put in less meat and more filler like lettuce. Aiso the quality of the meat was poor. The trouble with the franchise model: no quality control from a home office.
that subway commercial at the end brought a tear to my eyes.
Sorry, but subway is pretty good for what it is – it's everywhere and you know what to expect. I like to get the meatball sub with Cool Ranch Doritos and a Diet Coke.
That should be a real TV show incredible it's better than most the real hsows on TV

My local subway doesn't accept the coupons that corporate puts out. And the "sales" don't work on the app for any subway store within 5 miles of my house.
It would be great to have this show cover Fat Liberation. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I can’t tell y’all how moved I was when he said “………………..what?”
Literal tears, tears that fell directly onto ny subway Italian bmt sandwich
If bread could fart 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Never going to a Subway again.
Nobody should trust an opinion show when it has a laugh track.
John Oliver is not funny.
I watched this while working a shift at subway and all of the jokes hit close to home
I don't get why you think Subway has bad food. I think their sandwiches are quite consistently decent.
Subway feels like the pyramid scheme of fast foods 🤷♂️
I love this show ♥️♥️♥️
Kinda getting hungry for some subway
Quiznos better
Johnny the limpest-dick is def gonna catch a life sentence for his kid fucking.
Imagine if a mom and pop YouTuber makes a video like this .. they'll drown in lawsuits from subway, Amway and every other company that they criticize
I remember in the 90s there were no Subways, and then suddenly there were three fairly close. Back then, they'd be open much later than everywhere else, until midnight on weekdays and 2 AM on weekends. As a teen who'd get off work after 11 PM, this was one of the few places you could eat.
I actually remember liking the sandwiches then, especially compared to the McDonald's alternative. They only had two kinds of bread, so it was usually freshly baked. Subway was one of the closest places to eat near the high school too, so it was always packed at lunch.
I didn't eat Subway for a while, came back and they had like 7 kinds of bread. Every single time I got a sandwich in the future (usually while traveling on a road trip and needing non-McDonald's/Burger King etc food), the sandwiches were horrible because the bread was almost always stale. I haven't eaten at a Subway in years now, usually picking Jimmy John's when road tripping for some "fast" food.
The K-Pop at the end was a thing of beauty and perfectly done to the point that it looked legit until the tuna thing. 🙂
We need more K Drama sandwich shop parodies from LWT! I was invested in the outcome.
If you don't like it…don't eat there. I love penis in my bread and mash potatoes.
6:47 "Subway demands 12.5% of sales" Oh if you think that's bad, Valve (Steam) and Apple take 30% of all sales selling other people's intellectual property, at least Subway is actually involved in the making of the products they sell 😂.
It is clear to me that all corporation's success is built on the suffering of the grass roots. It is a typical zero-sum games to play the franchise game. It is worse than fixed income model.
John was spot on with what he said about Subway. It even gets deeper.
This man is Hillarious!!!
0:42 That's just their classic meatball sandwich.
I have one question….what did he do with all those subs he got??…
I don't even eat at any local Safeway because they're run by a guy who only hires Indians and pays them 50% wages
..I mean, this video. made me go buy subway. A food I had fully forgotten. So.. I guess John's still doing subway adds
I've always kinda liked Subway, it was my go-to when my friends got McDonald's or burger king, and I'd just meet up with them there. Never liked fast food burgers, and I never found the sandwiches to be as bad as people made it out to be.
Still I know it's kind of a scummy business now, and the prices are too much. Good thing some alternatives for sandwiches have popped up near me in recent years, but I don't really eat much fast food anymore anyways.
God I love SubWay🤩🤩😋
Soaking all this information up like it means anything to me as someone from Slovakia where I've only ever seen a single Subway
I have worked at a Walmart, a Chicken processing plant, and a Subway.
Is John Oliver following me around looking for stuff to make videos about?
