Seen this Quiznos commercial? (1 Viewer)

[John Thomas]

Neither! It's a viking bit that could only be found back a few years ago...yeah, that's it.

Those things are disturbing. I can't fathom the reason to connect food to them. They definitely don't motivate me to try Quizno's subs.

But hey, bears, frogs, iguanas, and flatulent horses seem to help sell beer. Maybe mutant tater-tots will sell subs.

why two?

 

[John Thomas]

Yeah, they were created by the same guy who did Punk Rock Kittens, from what I hear.

Is this the same thing that Dr. Heywood Floyd's daughter asked for in 2001?

Those rat things (what ever the hell they are) are doing what they want you to do...

discuss it.

 

[DaveF]

Do they want us to discuss the commercials or eat at Quiznos? I'm discussing the ad. But I'm dissuaded from eating at the restaurant because my mind now associates their food with creepy creatures.

If they want to spark discussion, they succeeded.

If they want to get more customers, I'm curious how that's going for them.

why two?

The other thread was talking about some other commercial originally, so I ignored it. I'm guessing, the OP didn't see it or didn't realize it was now centered on the same commercials as this thread.

My guess (even if they don't flat out say it) is that they are trying to create their own weird craze such as hampster dance, badgerbadgerbadger, bangbangbang, all your base are belong to us, and all those other crazy/obnoxious yet catchy internet sites and flash animations that have cult followings.

I think they are trying too hard.

All I know is when that commercial comes on I change the channel. It is one of the most irritating commercials known to man.

Every time I see a Quizno's commercial, I get more turned off about going there.

 

[John Thomas]

But "any coupon works".

(especially those meals-for-$2.50)

 

[Paul_Medenwaldt]

Why would they associate a diseased or filthy rat/mouse/monkey/hamster with their product?

I find it unappealing, though they do have yummy sandwiches.

Why would they associate a diseased or filthy rat/mouse/monkey/hamster with their product?

I find it unappealing

I have the same question/attitude about associating their product with garbage, eating off the floor, etc.

 

[MikeFR]

I find them hilarious.

I had the opposite reaction. I figure that if those creepy, ugly things like Quizno's Subs so much, then that's where I'm getting my subs. After all, when a celebrity endorses a product, there's a very good chance that he or she is just doing it for the huge sums of money. (I know I would.) But when these creepy, ugly things sing the virtues of Quizno's Subs, they can't be doing it for the money. That would be like me getting an endorsement contract from Nike to sell their shoes: It ain't gonna happen. (Not that I'm all that creepy and ugly, but I think you get the point.) So these creepy, ugly things must really, really like the subs! Besides, did you see how that one creepy, ugly thing played the guitar? Is that a chicken leg he has for an arm? How tasty is that? Mmmmmm, good, indeed!

But then other times I see the commercial, I just laugh and decide not to overanalyze it. Either way, life is good.


And, hey! Don't forget the pepper bar!

I had seen the punk rock kittens some time ago, but never explored the rest of that guy's site.
I saw the commercial for the first time a couple days ago and thought it was great! I don't think it's annoying at all.
Now, when Comcast Cable keeps running that "Children's Miracle Network" spot several times every hour on the Sci-Fi Channel, that's annoying to me- got to switch the channel first time I hear that damn piano!

 

[DaveGTP]

I'm OK with the commercial - funny in a weird way, different. Kind of like Quizno's subs are different.

But it's not the greatest commercial.

But I do love Quizno's.

 

[Dave Poehlman]

I don't find them to be the most appetizing critters on TV, but I do think they're funny.

Whoever belongs to those teeth they use on those things needs to see an orthodontist.

They seem like a cheap rip off of Steve Oedekerks Thumb movies.
