Why The Star Of Subway's Latest Commercial Looks So Familiar

Posted by Almeda Bohannan on Friday, May 17, 2024

Subway has made it clear to users of their eateries that they are searching for athletes who have the talent, popularity, and real love of the brand. As a result, TV viewers may have noticed a new face spearheading their commercials (via YouTube), and it is none other than USWNT soccer star Megan Rapinoe

The ad starts with two men walking across a field talking about ordering some burritos. Suddenly, Rapinoe kicks a soccer ball at them and says they should get Subway instead. The athlete suggests an oven-roasted turkey with banana peppers for "a little extra kick." The writers used clever wordplay there — get it, a kick? Then she spots another guy eating something other than Subway. She kicks a ball at him, knocking the food directly out of his hand, and she shouts, "Get a freshly made footlong from Subway instead!" While it may not be the most well-put-together commercial, it did the trick and got fans talking.
