In his business suit, no less. ---

I ate at Quiznos once. The sub was okayish, but cost twice what I really thought it should. Meh. As for the commercial, I kinda like it. I was more surprised that the guy actually describes the competition’s sub as “crap”. 🙂 ---

What would someone say if some stranger asked them if they were raised by wolves soley because of their lunch selection? “Blow me” comes to mind… ---

Yup, the message of “eat here, because all of our customers are obnoxious jerks” seems a bit off point … However, when the “Wolf Tit Cafe” opens in my neighborhood, I’m THERE! ---

The first time I saw it, I just sat there with my mouth agape and a feeling of utter disgust. I work in the advertising department for diapers and we can’t even show a mother nursing her child lest we offend someone. I just can’t imagine what idiot thought that a wolf nursing a man (who was making slurping noises) was the least bit clever or funny. It just turned my stomach. Yup. That ad agency and the people at Quizno’s who agreed to air it should have all been thrown out to the wolves. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by spooje \* > \*\*What would someone say if some stranger asked them if they were raised by wolves soley because of their lunch selection? > > “Blow me” comes to mind… \*\* That first guy was pretty obnoxious, in a smarmy I’m-so-much-better-than-you way. And what was up with the way he was holding his precious Quizno’s sub? He had two hands around the thing like it was a Louisville Slugger. ---

I thought the commercial was hilarious. However, I don’t eat at Quizno’s. I don’t care for overly toasted DRY sandwiches that tend to cut the roof of my mouth. ---

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Turkey Bacon Quacamole. Like manna. (Not like mothers milk) Most places list nutrition info on their websites. Quiznos only lists a few of their sandwiches. That’s why _I know_ it’s good. Nothin says wholesome goodness like stuffing a sammich worth prolly over a thousand calories into my pie hole. For that reason I hold myself back and only have it once or twice a month, but I look forward to it. I put it on wheat bread so it’s healthy. They could show the mother wolf pooping out a fresh Turkey Bacon Guac and _I’d still_ eat the damn things. ---

The truly mind-blowing thing about the “raised-by-wolves” scenario is that a SECOND ad agency thought it must be a good idea and used it in another commercial. (I think for Nissan.) It’s not blatantly gross like the Quizno’s commercial, but it does beat you about the head with unfunnyness. The thing that strikes me is the sheer number of people on this board willing to pay hard earned money to have someone make them a sandwich. IT’S A SANDWICH! Make sandwiches at home, pay money for things people actually have to cook for you! ---

You know, I really don’t like Quinzno’s subs. Turkey Bacon w/ Guac, though? I think I’ll have to give them another whirl. Like, say, today. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by CanvasShoes \* > \*\*Oh I don’t know **dantheman** I put two hands around…Um Never MIND 😃 \*\* Err… **CanvasShoes** , do you know something I don’t? But that’s another reason he shouldn’t be holding the sandwich like that. He looks like he’s doing something he shouldn’t be doing in public. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that from the looks of his sandwich and the way he’s holding it, he’s obviously compensating. 😃 ---

I ate at a Quizno’s once. ONCE. I get my sandwich made and ask the guy to put Mayonaisse on it and the dude tells me “Packets. How many packets do you want?” So, I have to put condiments on my own sandwich, and pay 7 bucks for the pleasure. Last Quizno’s experience. I will say that I loved what they did to the place. It was a donut shop that they turned into a retro 1960s art deco type of joint. Too bad their food sucked and expensive. ---

I’d rather see this ad (on cable, later at night) any day than see network ads for Fear Factor showing people gagging as they push around cows’ brains with their mouths.
