Looks like PJ's dog vomit pizzas are making a reappearance.

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.

It's because he's a subhuman douchenozzle.  However, they couldn't name the franchise "Papa Goblin's" or "Papa Morlock's."  That would just be bad for business.

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  LOL

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. LOL

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.

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.   Dead   I keep expecting a calamari/chunky apple sauce pizza to come out at any time....  LOL

I don't care much for their sauce.

It has a kind of sweet taste & I like my pizza spicy.

It's been a couple of years but the first and last Papa Johns pizza I bought had almost no flavor. I can duplicate that with a cheap frozen "pizza". The "rocket scientist" behind the counter produced a pepperoni pizza when I had ordered a Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza (I was the only customer). As she picked it up she declared " Oh! This isn't what you ordered! After she made the correct pizza. I asked what happens to the wrong pizza? Answer: I throw it in the trash. Question: Why not give it to the customer who was inconvinienced by making the wrong pizza? As the gears which were missing about half their teeth ground between her ears I was again being delayed. Then to my surprise she responded: Oh! Thats a good idea. The "free" pizza at least had some taste from the pepperoni, So I guess I scored. Sort of.

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!
