What the hell is that thing? A singing fucking rat? Why do I want to eat somewhere that uses a singing rat in it’s commercials?
A singing rat with a scratchy voice no less!
“We luv the subs…” Blech.
Take any coupon, huh?
Heres one for a disposable enema. Now get rid of the singing rat (or what ever that annoying thing is).
Someone in marketing needs to be [beaten until he begs for death and then] fired!
They just opened a quiznos here and the first comercial I saw was this one. My first thought was why would I want to buy food at a place who’s spokesman is a Mutant one-eyed zombie rat.
Dunno what brain-damaged marketing exec decided that this would be a good idea, though. “Perfect! Nothing whets people’s appetites like snaggle-toothed, bug-eyed, singing rodents in bowler hats!”

It’s a variation of We Like The Moon.

So, exactly what the fuck is that thing? A rat with false teeth?
As if the image of [some sort of] rat isn’t bad enough, the vocals are worse than finger nails down a chalk board. Brrrrr! Annoying! :mad:
I love the commercial. I think it’s an unexpected bit of absurdist humor injected into the otherwise predictable commercial landscape, and that’s the point. That’s why it works: We’re all discussing it now, using the name Quiznos over and over and over again, because it’s so different.
It doesn’t matter if a few of us take stands against it, as long as it isn’t offensive enough to turn away more than a few. Someone mentioning the product’s name in your hearing over and over again is, according to Advertising Dogma, enough to encourage you to buy that product.
Quiznos rides a llama.
Quiznos loves cats. Really loves them.
Quiznos is a one-eyed sloth. Pronounced `SLOW-th’.
QUIZNOS QUIZNOS QUIZNOS.
What restaurant are you thinking of now? The next time you think of hoagies?
i LOVE that Quizno’s commercial. I sing the little jingle all day long. I never ate at Quizno’s before, and last week I went because the commercial was so damn funny. They are quite tasty sandwiches.
/they are tasty they are crunchy they are warm because they toast them!/
I’m not a subscriber to the “any publicity is good publicity” school of thought, but man, I will never in my life forget that Quizno’s has a pepper bar. Or that they accept oil change coupons.
And “We Like The Moon” is up there with “Your Roommate Plays the Indigo Girls” as the most annoying song to have infinitely looped. Put it on a co-worker’s PC, lock the workstation, walk away, and let hilarity ensue.
This commercial is the first commercial that I ever went to download from a company’s website. (Haven’t seen it on TV.)
We don’t even have Quizno’s in our state, but I looked up their other locations when I was on the website. Someday I’ll go out-of-state just to make a trip to Quizno’s and Krispy Kreme.
In other words – the advertising worked on me! They have a pepper bar!
There’s a Quiznos across the street from my work. I tried a turkey sandwich, wasn’t impressed. I hate Subway. But dammit, I like the spongmonkeys. (I pronounce that spung-monkeys, with a hard G.)
