Does anyone else find themselves humming that "Clay Henry" diddy from the new Subway commercial? It's an amusing ad and a pretty catchy tune. Does anyone know him or what department he's with? I wonder if he lost the weight while on the job or if he lost it to get the job.

I thought I was the only one!

Don't know a thing about the guy, except that his name is Clay Henry.

That commercial just kills me, too funny. Not sure if hes a real person or somebody the ad execs dreamed up. You never know nowadays.

it has to be a real person al the others are. It is really a good idea. although he seems to have a ahrd time sliding the pole

He's a real firefighter. He works for a Fire District in the Midlands of SC.

I maybe thought he was with LA County or something, has the same helmet as they do, with numbers the same on the engine as well.

I'm thinking EastKYFF wrote the little Subway ditty for that commercial.

Sorry, I'm going to have to go the other way on this one. I thought it was a stupid commercial.
Also an interesting note, their helmets say 54 and their truck says 75.

bke: You got some support here. Some of the boys at the station last night talked about it majority thought it sucked!!!!!

**ChiefReason** · 01-08-2002, 07:20 PM

When I see that commercial, three things come to mind:
1) Open canopy cab
2) Riding on the tailboard
3) Not Clay Henry, but Henry Clay---cigars
Oh, the memories! Sweeeet!!!
I get the feeling that you are going to see more firefighters, cops and medics in just about everything the ad agencies have to offer. Not a bad idea; I just hope that they get it right.
Stay safe.

**JeremyCross** · 01-09-2002, 12:00 AM

Yea, i've been humming that tune too. I noticed riding on the tail board also. But i noticed there as no siren or lights, and they were wearing turn out gear too.... lol, must be going to subway so they put thier gear on

**mark440** · 01-09-2002, 10:04 AM

bke, the mismatched numbers come from someone not belonging to that department. Probably a reserve rig, and extra gear. It is LACoFD equipment with a SC guy riding it. I at first noticed his name and location on the ad and thought the stuff looked like LACoFD. I don't pay much attention to commercials anyway....

**hctrouble25** · 01-09-2002, 11:07 AM

That is quite possibly the dumbest commercial on tv. We laughed our a**es off at the firehouse on drill night the first time we saw this. I would be embarrassed to be in a commercial like that...wow! What a joke. NO offense to those that like it, but honestly, singing firefighters on the back of a truck on their way to subway? YIKES!

**bke** · 01-09-2002, 05:21 PM

I thought this commercial made FFs look goofy. Some of you might remember a commercial a few years back where FFs jumped off the truck, busted into a house, pulled hose through it, broke all sorts of stuff, and came out the back door to find the family having a barbecue. In my opinion, the Clay Henry ad is the same caliber of stupid.

**ntfd2** · 01-10-2002, 02:08 PM

I just read in the newspaper (Hartford Courant)of a firefighter from Danbury Ct. who is very upset about the commercial. He stated it was .."poor timing" and "It's a poor portrayal of firefighters". I can understand his feelings, but I think it's just a goofy, campy, ad that was not meant to offend anyone. Hey, I just read a Dilbert comic that made remarks about having a beard and linking it to images of homeless people. I hope bearded CEO's don't take offense to that, (or cleanshaven homeless people) Lighten up people!

Its only a commerical and give the kid some credit he lost about what the average person weighs.

Beats that stupid Ford Truck commercial that was out a couple of years ago.
