Restaurant Chain's TV Commercial Inspired by Leno Show?

Have you seen the Subway TV commercial where the customers drive up to a fast food place and order things like "a double chin" and "thunder thighs"? The Leno show's been doing this kind of humor for years, when they call products what they really are. Did Subway hire Leno's writers? Or did they "borrow" this style of humor for their commercials?

Icons: Turtles and Cavemen

Because Comcast's turtles The Slowskys and Geico's cavemen are such compelling and complex characters, I look forward to their commercials. They trancend ordinary commercialdom. I mean, ordinarily, I hate TV commercials. These characters are so iconic, I'd like to see them in a TV series or a feature film. I can picture them in indy-style films like American Beauty. They're that real.
