Quizno’s is alright, but every time I go there I think of that episode of "Cheers"in which Gary’s Olde Town Tavern starts offering complementary appetizers during happy hour, so Sam tries to match them by getting a toaster oven and melting little bits of American cheese onto Saltines.
I think they prefer to be called “sandwich artists” or “ambrosia technicians.”
Regardless, I didn’t know we were allowed to taste them, too. Quite frankly, though, the ones I’ve seen around here I wouldn’t want to touch with my tongue.
See, I wouldn’t eat there even before the ads. Maybe it’s just me, but I hate toasted subs. Maybe for things that are supposed to be hot… Meatball or something. But good lord. I forget where it was, but I got dragged somewhere and they bring me out my nice little turkey sandwich half warm and dripping all over. Ugh.
If I did like the stuff, I’d still have been put off by the ads. But more because of the nasty attitude of the other guy than the raised by wolves thing.
count me for another that didn’t like Quizno’s before the ad.
I went into ours (it was fairly new) Asked for ham and cheese on white…looked at me like I was crazy. Asked me what I wanted on it. Told them to keep it fairly plain…long silence more strange looks. Finally after LIBERALLY pouring seasoning over it and running it through their toaster I asked for mayo. Was handed two packets of mayo which they generously told me to put it on myself (they weren’t giving me attitude they were just too lazy to want to bother with it). The sandwich was pretty crappy and more expensive then our subway. I’ve never been back.
My gf’s daughter does the BEST impersonation of that guy! Her little “Hmmm!” bit at the end is hilarious So for that I like it.
As for the teat thing, I didn’t hear any of you guys complaining when Tori Amos had her bare boobies with the piglet on …ohh crap I cant remember the name of the album!
Two guys on a park bench. One is eating the ‘other’ brand of sub. The guy eating the quizno’s turns to him and says “what were you raised by wolves?”
Flashback: the other guy is sucking at a wolfs teat with other puppies
Flashforward: Why yes…yes I was hmmm keeps eating (or something to that effect)
The wolf ads out in my neck of the wape have been peculiarly truncated; instead of the “yes, I was,” the dialog is cut and the fellow appears to pucker and make a kissing sound.
The last time I was treated to this, I had to switch over to Fear Factor just to smother the image. Luckily, at the time, a buxom redhead was halfway finished sucking a pound of crotiles through a drinking straw, timed event. Problem solved.
I still eat there, though. The tuna is really fuckin’ good. Ogre: my family is Romularian. Besides, you think Senio and Ascanio have something to say about Quizno’s?

Has anyone seen the energy drink, red bull, commerical? The one where the bird goes to the bathroom on the guy, so he drinks some red bull, flies up and over the bird, than opens his pants-- and thats where the commerical ends.

Was he really sucking? I saw the pups licking his face version. And he is the “didn’t use FedEx” guy. I like his little, nerdy voice in the Quizno’s commercial though.
It took me at least two years to even think about trying Quizno’s. I just found their commercials so ridiculously, and needlessly insulting.
The ones that bugged me were the “which sandwich would you like, the toasted one, or the cold one” and then if the person went for the Quizno’s sub, the “other sub company” execs would dart them or something.
Don’t be dissing Schlotzky’s. Although I could see how the stores in WV might not be as good as the ones in Texas.
Yeah, the wolf-tit commercial left my stupefied. gobear, you think that smarmy skinny raised-by-wovles jerk is cute? You must have meant the other actor.
I saw him and he reminded me of the guy on The X Files who could fit himself into small duct spaces, sneak up on people, kill them and eat their livers or something…
