Description

The commercial uses a lot of side-by-side shots to compare the everyday activities of Jared to the football training of Reggie.

First Jared puts on his glasses, while Reggie applies eye black under his eyes.

Then we're told their names, with Jared near a sign that says "Jared Fogle" and the back of Reggie's jersey reading "BUSH".

Then there's a series of exercises and other activities. In a vertical split-screen, Reggie is shown doing sprints on a football field. Jared takes a brisk walk. In a horizontal split-screen, Jared lifts a laundry basket, while Reggie lifts weights. Then Jared is shown cleaning a modest pool, while Reggie relaxes by a luxurious pool.

The two end the ad sitting in a Subway enjoying a couple sandwiches.
