bah, the TV ad with The Simpsons is bad enough.

Yeah, we did this a couple days ago.

Summary: He sold Domino's pizza business 10 years ago, so you can continue to, if only that was the reason not to.

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 14:50 (nineteen years ago)

No there are plenty of other reasons. Is Domino's the one with that awful Jessica Simpson ad, or is that Pizza Hut? They're interchangeable, ever since they got rid of the Noid. Was that even Domino's? Chain pizza beyond Papa John's mystifies me.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 14:53 (nineteen years ago)

too late for a Pizza Christ gag then?

I think Jessica Simpson used to be Domino's and now she's Pizza Hut?
Pizza Hut used to have All-You-Can-Eat Monday's, which were the Macho Proving Grounds of my youth.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 14:55 (nineteen years ago)

right thats a pizza hut ad and i'll tell you, i dont mind looking at jessica simpson wind blown in red cowboy boots for 30 seconds one little bit

the whole 'popping' concept sure grosses me out though.

Well, there goes your pizza-credibility!

Oh that explains why I didn't click on that thread, it said "fuck" in a sexual way in the title and I'm at work, so I played it safe. Feel free to use this thread to discuss disgusting pizza though.

Jessica Simpson is tremendously ugly to me, and the popping pizza makes me want to kill people :(

xpost the reason why Papa Johns doesn't mystify me is because of the Dan Marino ads. Those are pretty clear cut to me. Also: no "popping" or "stuffed crust."

Ally, in order to keep profits increasing and to maximize market share, elaborations on the original food 'product' must be done so as to convince the consumer about the intended innovation which transforms the base 'recipe' into a new basis of social interaction and monetary transaction.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 15:44 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah Domino's has been boycottable for years because of that ignorant pedophile supporting douchefuck. Comedy: He is walking around today with black shit smeared on his face.

I wish we could go back to the days where the most ambitious people got was making a barbeque sauce pizza. I remember getting all hoity toity about that but at least it didn't involve POPPY CHEESE BALLS OFF THE SIDES THE PIZZA. Ugh.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

pizza with CHEESY SPORES

― i am not a nugget (stevie), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 15:59 (nineteen years ago)

I can't stand any advertising that involves poor schlubs looking like victims of Shock and Awe, mouth agape, while superimposed still photos of food/gum/medicine or whatever fly across the screen and down the victim's throat. Especially when horrible awful mutilated versions of popular standards are playing and bright colors are flashing all about. It's a war crime to the mind.

I spent 10 years living in Ann Arbor, where the only chain possibilites were Dominos & Little Ceasar. The Dominos World HQ is located just outside the city, and, as mentioned in that thread linked to above, it's right across the highway from the Ave Maria Law School that the guy started expressly to churn out lawyers who go after abortion law.

Still, if you were dumb enough to get the cardboard & red junk Domino's, you deserved to have your mouth lining scraped off.

― kingfish has gene rayburn's mic (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 16:03 (nineteen years ago)

They do! All the time! There are some rather disgusting innovations in this world. Like that fucking cheesesteak pizza from Pizza Hut (?). UGH.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 16:04 (nineteen years ago)

do you think someone actually got paid for the little ceasars 'pizza pizza' catchphrase?

When was this? I have eaten at a Pizza Hut in Ann Arbor . . .

Still, I never needed a reason not to eat Dominos besides "Tastes like ass. Greasy ass." The religious crap was just icing.

When I eat chain pizza at all, it's Papa John's.

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 16:07 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I appreciate, like I said, that Papa John's is confident enough in its pizza that it doesn't turn around and add like glitter crust or peanut butter jelly pizza or whatever the hell else Pizza Hut is trying to invent.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 16:08 (nineteen years ago)

oh for the days when chain-pizza's big promise was speedy delivery.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 16:12 (nineteen years ago)

When was this? I have eaten at a Pizza Hut in Ann Arbor . . .

I don't think Pizza Hut had any close access to the U of M campus(either central or north). Domino's was all over the place, tho. Enterprising store owners would set up stands by the sidewalks, or load up the delivery trucks to offer $5 pizzas to passersby on the way home from football games. Little Ceaser's was in the Commons on north campus(until it became a McDonalds! huzzah!).

Then there was Cottage Inn, which ruled over all, and was a regional chain. Uno's moved out years ago.

― kingfish has gene rayburn's mic (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 16:13 (nineteen years ago)

Hahaha I could bake my own pizza in the time it takes for delivery guys to arrive these days.

pizza hut and dominos in australia have set menus with meatlovers, chicken, seafood type pizzas and they make a real big deal over 'supreme' and 'super supreme' pizzas which pretty much have everything on them. i dont know anyone who eats just cheese or pepperoni pizza, although i did know a guy who ate oregano pizzas. just cheese and oregano. it smelt and tasted like pot pizza. pot pie.

did you guys ever get the cheeseburger pizza? why not just eat a cheeseburger?

some standard chain australian pizzas:

Super Supreme
Beef, ham, cabanossi, pepperoni, pineapple, mushroom, onion, capsicum & black olives

Meat Supreme
Pepperoni, bacon, beef, onion, capsicum, mushroom & tomato

Chicken & Bacon
Chicken, bacon, tomato & onion

Hot'n Spicy
Beef, hot jalapenos, onion & tomato

BBQ Chicken
Chicken, onion & mushroom on BBQ sauce

Double Bacon Cheese Burger
Double serving of bacon plus beef & cheese on BBQ sauce

Chicken Aloha
Chicken, pepperoni, pineapple & tomato on BBQ sauce

Chicken Supreme
Chicken, ham, tomato, capsicum & onion

BBQ Meat Lovers
Ham, cabanossi, bacon, beef & pepperoni on BBQ sauce

Veggie Supreme
Tomato, pineapple, capsicum, onion & mushroom

― sunny successor (katharine), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 16:14 (nineteen years ago)

The poppin' pizza is just not sufficiently "extreme" to capture the imagination of the American public. It needs to contain jalapeno flavoring and be able to be eaten with one hand while snowboarding.

― Nemo (JND), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 16:15 (nineteen years ago)

They should call it the "PATRIOT"

― tissp! (the impossible shortest specia), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 16:16 (nineteen years ago)

sunny, that actually doesn't sound that different from half of the pizza chains in the US to me. But most people just go with meat, you're right.

Papa Johns is now selling something called "Spinach Alfredo Deluxe Pizza"??? It's on sale right now, so I maybe will try next time I get a pizza??? Also the hawaiian barbeque chicken has been added to their menu. Note: I do not actually work to Papa Johns, I just went on their website which allows you to order pizzas online without ever having to speak to another human being, which is cool.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 16:18 (nineteen years ago)

Domino's in Mexico has a pizza called "El Ranchero," if I'm remembering correctly, which has refried beans and jalapenos on it.

some standard chain australian pizzas:

No beetroot?!?!?! (Seeing hamburgers w/beets on them in Australia kinda weirded me out.)

Nemo, I used to get a similar thing at Pizza Hut back in the 80s called the Taco Pizza. Do they still sell that, I wonder?

― phil d. (Phil D.), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 16:27 (nineteen years ago)

El Ranchero is actually the only Domino's I've eaten that I liked. I think Taco Bell experimented with a Mexican Pizza, too.

Do NOT let a neocon Christian try to explain this one away. Something about "needles" being the walls around the old cities or something, and how it was difficult, but not impossible, for a camel to fit through the holes of one of these things.

Pizza Hut sucks. Meat on a sponge. I'll take Papa John's over those any day, based primarily on their crust. And they throw in hot peppers to boot!

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 20:46 (nineteen years ago)

I would rather eat frozen pizza (asuming I had to choose, and I don't.)

Maybe it's the awful taste - or maybe it's just that one of my old high school friends used to work there and he was kinda gross and he always had it in his apartment and he also had mice running around in the old pizza boxes. But mostly I'm thinking it's just shitty pizza.

― Dave will do (dave225.3), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 20:48 (nineteen years ago)

― wangdangsweetpentangle (teenagequiet), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 21:03 (nineteen years ago)

Things that are better than jumbo slice:

- chicken wings
- Julia's Empanadas
- just going home and eating my own damn food
- falafel
- etc

pizza hut has great, crispy pepperonis (compaired to the other national chains). everyone else seems to think pepperoni = juicy band-aid flavored slice of meat.

Things I don't get: All the non-chain pizza places around here cut their round pizzas into squares, and it's a fucking travesty.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Thursday, 2 March 2006 06:50 (nineteen years ago)

Last week I had a Tostada Pizza from CPK- it had black beans instead of pizza sauce and was better than you'd ever think!

― naus (Robert T), Thursday, 2 March 2006 06:56 (nineteen years ago)

I have been loving square-cut pizzas lately. It is definitely more of a knife-and-fork, sit-down ordeal, but I find when these constraints are implied I tend to eat moderately, enjoy each bite, and rarely burn the top of my mouth.

Papa John's spinach alfredo thing is repulsive. I've never had a pizza that stank as badly of multiple instances of highly-refined soybean and canola oils, all jostling for space with some greenish flecks. In short, a pizza just begging to be drunkenly expelled and then never eaten again.

― fields of salmon (fieldsofsalmon), Thursday, 2 March 2006 07:31 (nineteen years ago)

Square slices are the trademark of the Midwestern mom-and-pop pizza joint. Also beware "pizza cheese".

― suzy (suzy), Thursday, 2 March 2006 09:35 (nineteen years ago)

in brooklyn we call square slices "sicilian." presumably because that's how they're made in sicily? i dunno. when done right, they're fantastic -- i like how on sicilian slices the sauce is the point but the cheese isn't.

― Autonomous University of Zacatecas (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 2 March 2006 11:49 (nineteen years ago)

the best sicilian pizza in brooklyn is at the L&B Spumoni Gardens:

― My Psychic Friends Are Strangely Silent (Ex Leon), Friday, 3 March 2006 18:22 (nineteen years ago)

I have the flu right now and there's nothing to do but wathch TV & its plethora of stomach-turning food commercials. Round Table Pizza doesn't even attampt to use fake materials for their filmed pizzas, and consequently their TV pizas look like the dreamscape of a starving maggot.
Second worse is any of those pizza-popping bites ads from Pizza the Hut. The Simpson one is worse than the Ms. Piggy one since Jessica's face, with it biscuity patina and oily glossed lips looks like it could be some kind of edible bread/meat abomination itself. AND ever since the comment that it sounds like they will pop into your ass, I get all synaesthetic and my ass starts to hurt and clench and the sound of that song.
I feel like I'm on the worst muchroom trip ever, I just wish it would stop so every TV commercial wouldn't make me run to the bathroom and barf. Sick is when the only time I watch TV, too, and it's ruined almost every restaurant for me. Fuuuuck.

― Abbott (Abbott), Friday, 3 March 2006 18:22 (nineteen years ago)

These are all non-Dominos/Little Caesar pizza franchises in Ann Arbor,

I should have clarified, then. The other franchises are in the suburbs of the city, but not really all that accessible on foot from campus.

But if you want to get pedantic and list every one, let's go thru them, then:

California Pizza Kitchen
-- briarwood, you ain't gunna hoof it there

Chuck E Cheese's
-- way the hell out in the suburbs, by the highway

Cottage Inn Pizza
--i did mention Cottage Inn, which is a regional/local chain, but sure as shit not national when I was in town

Hungry Howie's Pizza & Subs
-- again, way the hell out on the west side of town, by the highway

Jet's Pizza
--on the other side of the highway, not too far from the airport

Papa John's Pizza
--this one showed up after I left

Pizza Hut
-- miles west of town, on the way to dexter

and still, Little Ceasar's & Domino's are the dominant franchises in town.

― kingfish da notorious teletabby (kingfish 2.0), Friday, 3 March 2006 18:41 (nineteen years ago)

I was just listing the first entries for each one. The concept of A2 being oprressed by a lack of pizza franchises is a very strange and specious claim.

― My Psychic Friends Are Strangely Silent (Ex Leon), Friday, 3 March 2006 18:50 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, that's not what I meant. I just meant in terms of the prevalence of the big'uns, that there were pretty much only the two.

It did change, tho, since the Domino's moved out of its two big locations(NCC), and more local places came in(more slice-based spots, if you will). The reflexive desire on many conference/party organizers to order nothing but Domino's was but one of the many distressing parts of my undergraduate experience.

BTW the pop deals are pretty tasty, like pigs in a blanket but w/string cheese instead of whatever processed meat sticks you usually encase in the blanket. If I wasn't wishing I was dead and/or wishing I had no digestive system, I might be wishing I was eating that kind of pizza. but no.

Domino's is like eating some 19th century baseball mitt with red food coloring and venetian blinds baked onto it. Plus some monster crust bubble forms in every one of their pizzas and pushes all of its .4 grams of toppings to one tiny corner of one slice of the pizza.

― Abbott (Abbott), Friday, 3 March 2006 19:28 (nineteen years ago)

They are made from baseball mitts once used by Marty Castillo, Jim Walewander and Darnell Coles.

― Dave will do (dave225.3), Friday, 3 March 2006 19:30 (nineteen years ago)

There were so many pizza placed in Ann Arbor when I was there that it was kind of overwhelming. Everyone I knew had their own random favorite and nobody ever went to Domino's or Little Ceasars. Pizza House, Backroom (which may still be there but I heard it either closed or went to hell with the sports-barification of the Brown Jug), NYPD, Cottage Inn, and Jet's were probably my most common ones. I had friends who swore by Bell's but I always thought it was kind of crappy.

And the Miss Piggy Pizza Hut commercial is much more disturbing when you consider she's happily serving you cannabalistic pork-based pepperoni. It's like the bottle of seasoned salt I used to see at our local grocery store that featured a happy smiling cow grilling burgers.

― joygoat (joygoat), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:44 (nineteen years ago)

Clucky Chicken: [ popping into the front of the screen ] That's me! [ flies up to a table flled with kids and their Dad ]

Dad: Hey, Clucky - why's the Cluckin' Chicken so chick-a-licious?

Clucky Chicken: Everybody knows why. It's 'cause I'm flame-broiled! Yow-zee-yow-dow! But that's not all - I'm cooked fresh! First my head's cut off! [ the cook chops Clucky's head off and send it flying through the restaurant ] Heads up! [ Clucky's head appears before another chicken being gutted ] Then I'm plucked and gutted - my intestines are pulled out. Trust me, you don't want 'em! Whee! Look at me! I'm gettin' quartered and split breasts, wings, the whole nine yards! Chopitty, chop! Then the pieces of me get flame-broiled. Hear that sizzle? That's me! 550 degrees! Good thing I'm dead, or yow-wee! Then I'm seasoned just right, and ready to go! [ takes a bite of a piece of chicken ] Hey, I'm good! Finally, I'm served to you, so you can chew me, swallow me, and convert me into waste matter. [ peers into the toilet ] Ga-ga-ga-gooey!

[ returns to the kids and their Dad ] Hey, kids, how's the meat?

Kids: [ chewing ferociously ] You taste great, Clucky!

Clucky Chicken: [ head spinning around the restaurant ] Holy fanoley! The oxygen's leaving my brain!

Dad; Any last words, Clucky?

Clucky Chicken: You betcha! [ singing ] "If you want a place for the greatest chicken, take it from my head, it's easy pickin', 'cause.."

Jingle: "Something's always cookin' at the Cluckin' Chicken!"

Clucky Chicken: Being dead never tasted so go-nobbity good!

This print ad is obviously quite a daring move by Dominos as they are using the idea of s&m to demonstrate the enjoyable yet painful experience you have, or your tongue has, when eating their new Sriracha product. The ad is clearly aimed at adults, most likely young adults and students that can, on some level, relate to the idea of s&m and the purpose behind it. Young adults may find the ad to be quite humorous, so it will most likely be received well. It describes the main feature of the product in a visual way which is very eye catching and draws readers attention well. Therefore, people that enjoy spicy food may be persuaded by the ad to go and purchase the product from Dominos.
