Oh yes, do show him proper spatula handling technique...

Meanwhile, I think the woman setting the table would like to watch.

Now that you mention it... why does he have grill marks on his thumb? Has he tried this before?

Woman setting table looks like she's seen this far too many times before and has accepted Bob's "quirks".

Between Bob's 'quirks' and Steve bringing his RealDoll to the bbq and claiming it's his girlfriend, the poor woman has probably just given up and resigned herself to her fate.

Blue Shirt Guy's hand is in his pocket. Looks like he's working on his 'spatula handling.'

What the heck is with his left hand? It looks like 4 cigars bunched together.

He's got Man Hands. And a wee cigarette.

I am not sure this is even subtext, maybe they just really know their market...

It's quite odd to show a man UNable to properly grill.

If you want to flatter your audience that is a bit odd indeed. Though in this case it is not so much that he is bad only that all the flirting has left him severly distracted from the meat (the innuendo writes itself)...

I feel like the caption should be "Cool story bro." But yeah I definitely read into that subtext, so enamored with each other they're giving the woman a heart attack (and ruining dinner)!

Yep, just a little bit longer and they will be flaming!

The burgers! What were YOU thinking?

The men are so animated and absorbed in this picture, and the women look so lifeless.

I'm not sure who this ad is aimed at? Surely if a man buys a shirt it's to attract women? And if a woman buys a shirt for a man it's because she wants him to want to attract her?

Is this the same artist who does all the soldiers bathing with each other and manfully flicking towels at each other?

The one on the left appears to be staring at the other guys' mouth. They're eye fucking each other, right in front of the women.
And I like their elastic-waist pants.

I love the subtext-y ads. :D

Donna suddenly realized, maybe the neighborhood swingers BBQ wasn't such a good idea after all...

Donna should crank her neck sideways, then...
