"Jared Has Aides" was originally titled "Subway Sandwiches Gave Jared AIDS". However, while working on the episode, the Comedy Central advertising department contacted Parker, saying that they were not allowed to use the word "Subway" disparagingly in the episode, as Stone said, "We're like, 'Come on, you know they're trying to sell food by telling you you're going to be thin, and it's just terrible.' 'But Subway is one of our biggest sponsors, so you can't do it.' That is censorship. It absolutely is. It's just economic." However, Parker decided to "just it anyway." As such, the episode was finished "at the last minute," in order to avoid network oversight. The finished episode aired with numerous references to the Subway restaurant and brand.
