PIZZA PIE
This video suggests that consumption of a product is one of the most important things one can do and to do otherwise can end horribly. While death is not truly the end result of disobeying, it suggests heavily that your social life will die if you do not "eat your pizza pie". This does not just pertain to just the pizza pie in of itself, but of all consumer goods like iphones, McDonald's, etc; everything that reminds the viewer of Corporate America. Throughout all commercials of Papa Johns and Pizza Hut, it makes it seem like you are making a mistake if you do not eat the pizza they are advertising. This mistake can lead to becoming ostracized, not in the idea of pizza per-say, but if on does not keep up with the current trends they can become put off to the sides. Unfortunately many Americans judge by what they see and not what they now and they could assume the worst if you are not "eating the pizza pie". This also suggests conformity to a certain extent because while not required to "eat the pizza", it is strongly suggested by the second line "or you will die". No one ever truly has to do anything ever, but the consequences of not doing anything could end poorly. So in the end, the message is, just sit down, shut up, eat your piece of "pizza pie", and conform to the standards.
