I just looked up what on "out of body experience" is just in case I was missing the joke in that commercial. Apparently it's a spiritual practice normally performed by Hindus and Buddhists although some Christians, Jews, and Muslims do it as well, it involves meditating to the point of trying to literally achieve entering the astral realm which exists outside of your body. Huh, I get what the commercial is referencing now but yet I still don't think it's funny. So the guy had an out of body experience, not from meditation, but rather eating a Subway sandwich. That's pretty silly and I'm surprised such a ridiculous idea ever got greenlit for TV. I know a lot of Subway commercials have stupid humor in them but that one is about as crazy as I've seen them get. That seems more on par with the sheer insane of Skittles commercials if you ask me.

Also, I can't believe that the commercial hasn't caused the bit of controversy or backlash from religious people. They are basically saying that a practice that so many people consider to be sacred and godly is a joke. That seems pretty insensitive if you ask me. I personally am not offended by it, but I'm surprised that this overly-PC world still has room for such content to even exist let alone air on primetime television.
