We love those commercials! In fact, we went to Quizno’s the other night because of them.
Great sub. Great kid’s meal, too. Matthew got a little sub, a little package of Goldfish crackers, a Rice Krispies bar, and a pop with it.
I like Quizno’s Subs, but I never buy them. I’ve had them at catered meetings. I did buy one once, and the chicken was frozen in the middle. It cut the roof of my mouth. I e-mailed the company to complain, but they never replied so I haven’t been back.
I like the commercial. I think the little ska-rats are great. Twisted.
Anyone know what the chords are? There are two sets – the main set, and then they change it in the middle before going back to the original progression.
I hate those little spuds, too. I change the channel every time they come one.
But you gotta admit, this ad campaign has generated more “buzz” than I would have ever believed from a commercial for a sandwich shop. It’s very effective at getting their name out there and on people’s minds.
And yes, I do find myself with the song stuck in my head. But you know, that first “WE LOVE THE SUBS!” often morphs in my mind, and I end up with “Do you love me? (now that I can dance)” stuck in my head.
For those of you who don’t like the Spongemonkeys:
Isn’t it done by the same people who did Punk Kittys? Punk Kittys on a commercial would be cool.
off to get my Punk Kitty fix…
Those things ooze sexuality? To WHO?
Female spongmonkeys?
“Oozing sexuality?”
It’s rather frightening to think someone is sitting in front of the tv, remote in one hand, the other hand filled with Jergen’s hand lotion, channel surfing in hopes of running across a Quizno’s commercial.
Methinks Hogan has gone around the bend.
Oh… Now that thought makes me sicker then the ad it’s self.
I have always enjoyed the flash cartoons over at rathergood.com; however, I was stunned when I found out Quiznos had decided to use in them a commerical.
I love off the wall cartoons, but I fail to see the connection to subs. On the other hand he apparently does some credit card commercials with penguins that seem quite normal (for commericals, that is).
The more I watch that clip, the more I am disturbed by their little contorted rodent faces, but especially their teeth. OTOH, I feel compelled to go buy a toasty sub from Quiznos. That, or they might come get me. A whole pack of those things is not something I want to deal with.
That commercial gives me nightmares. Seriously.
I was quite thoroughly stoned the first time I saw that commercial, and it really freaked me out. I can’t watch it when it comes on now. I have to turn away or change the channel (usually just turn away, because I only really watch TV at friends’ houses, and I can’t just go changing the channels on someone else’s TV).

No, what’s downright hilarious names folks have come up for the spongmonkeys in emails to the Slate writer who’s article you linked to
Yeah, I’d say there was a couple of good band names in that list.
