Looks like PJ's dog vomit pizzas are making a reappearance.
Spinach Alfredo? Really?
Sorry, no pics. Don't want you to barf all over your key board....

We get Papa Jon's commercials all the time. The PJ-Manning comination idiotic giveaway ads were intolerable. The pizza? Never have had it. Heck, there isn't even a PJ's within 50 miles, maybe even further, of us. |

What's with Papa John always hunching in his commercials? It looks like he's on the toilet droppin' a deuce.

The only cool thing in their commercials was the gold early 1970s Chevrolet Camaro that Papa John drives around in, other than that the Papa John commercials sucked. I can't think of any good Papa John commercials that I liked.

Does anybody else think Papa John acts kind of strange in his commercials. Awkward, embarrassed, can't look the camera in the eye, well one eye, I think one of his eyes is a jake eye

Well, a "jake eye" is not quite right. It either wanders around on it's own, is slightly squinty, or doesn't move around a lot. You guys must not be old enough to remember it, this is embarrassing. Peter Falk had a "jake eye." I remember in old movies and tv shows that a character would be described as having a "jake eye," just meaning there was something wrong with it.

I've always heard it called wall-eyed or fish-eyed. Or just a lazy eye. First time I've ever heard the term Jake-eyed, and I was raised on black and white...

Wall-eyed is when you have one or both eyes looking away to opposite sides. Kinda the opposite of cross-eyed. I lazy eye is when one eye tends to drift then comes back. |

Peter Falk had that weird look because he had a glass eye.
It gets terrible gas mileage because it's made out of real gold....
That's always been my main complaint with PJ's: The horrible pics of their products. That, and the bizarre pizzas they come out with. Some of them look like they are topped with moldy somethings scraped out of a grease barrel hidden behind the dumpsters. I keep expecting a calamari/chunky apple sauce pizza to come out at any time.... |

I don't care much for their sauce.
It has a kind of sweet taste & I like my pizza spicy. |

I worked at Pizza Hut when I was around 20. Anytime we made a mistake, we'd cut that baby up, put it on the back room table & everyone would attack it. If we hadn't made a mistake & everyone was hungry, suddenly a "mistake" would happen. Sometimes it would be a "call" for a take out pizza from a "customer" who just never showed up. Or maybe the wrong ingredients would just happen to get put on... "Oh look, I accidentally put pepperoni, Canadian bacon & Italian sausage on this large pizza that was supposed to have olives, mushrooms & onions... DAMN!!!" And sometimes we'd burn one. Those actually were accidents. But if they weren't too charred, we'd eat them anyway. |

Usually if we wanted a pizza we'd say "hey (manager on shift's name) I'm gonna make a pizza."
Working at a pizza place has its perks in the trading department, too. Since people generally love pizza, we could call up pretty much any restaurant we wanted and 9 times out of 10 they would agree to trade for a couple of larges. One of my managers would trade with Blockbuster for free movie rentals, or for free pool time at Barney's. |

I may be exceptionally easy to please when it comes to pizza, but the Papa Johns in my area are usually friendly, fast, and accurate. And I happen to prefer sweet sauce so they're my favorite of the major chains.
(But I'm the one who was defending McRib a couple of months ago so...) My first job was actually at a real Philly pizzeria run by small-town mobsters, and that stuff was GOOD -- pizzas, cheese steaks, hoagies, stromboli, etc. so I know what "good" pizza is supposed to taste like... but sometimes I just want PJ's!

Im glad its not just me... But his hunchback pose in EVERY commercial freaks me out. His need to be in every commercial illustrates his complete douchiness
