I may have found it amusing if it was on the internet and nothing to do with food.

But watching it on TV trying to sell food....just isn't working for me.

Ewwwwww!!! Me too!!! Yuck!! Who would want to eat Quiznos right after seeing that!?

We saw it the other night and I said I wondered what idiot approved that commercial, and hubby said the guy that's now fired!

I can't believe you don't like them! i think they are so cute!!! and funny! haha they are alittle creepy, but they areso funny it makes up for it:D

I think I might find them more amusing if they weren't advertising food. I'd be scared I might find one of them in my sandwich!

I haven't seen the commerical. I love Quiznos, but those guys are just creepy looking. :eek: They look like hands, with faces on them...but deformed. :p

RubyMutt

02-05-2004, 07:56 PM

I never saw them until I looked at the link that Amy posted. Weeeird... :confused:

A little odd that those things are promoting things that you eat. Eeww :p

However, I LOVE the recent promotion that Quiznos is doing! (you can use a coupon for ANYTHING/ANYWHERE and get a $1 off a sub :D)

When I first saw them in the commercial I thought they were supposed to be some kind of mutant rodent. But now the more times I see the commerical, the stranger they look and I have no clue what it's supposed to be.

G.P.girl

02-05-2004, 08:02 PM

They look like some kind of Gerbil/hamster/mouse/cowboy/pirate/giuneapig/clattery-chattery teeth/plasic eyeballs;)

This is so ironic that you guys would be talking about this commercial today! My brother and I were running errands this afternoon and he asked me if I had seen it. He was describing it and mentioned something about them looking like dwarf hamsters (which I have one of), but, also with hands over them. Or something like that. Those photos in that attatchment are gross. I want to see the commercial, though, to see if I think it's funny. And, honestly, regardless of how bad the commercials are, I'd still prefer toasted subs over non-toasted subs any day! Just like I love Jack in the Box commercials, but, will rarely eat there. I do love Chic-Fil-A's marketing technique with the cows, and, it's one of my favorite fast food restaurants. Gotta love sweet ice tea by the gallon! WOO HOO.....

check out www.rathergood.com and watch some of the videos there. (btw, there is some swearing on the site). As soon as I saw that Quiznos commercial, I knew it had to have come from this website.

Take a look at the "Spongmonkeys".. and there you have creepy Quizno's thingies :p

This website has some really gross and creepy stuff on it, so be warned. I think it's yet another reason why I should keep on boycotting Quiznos. Their dead bird commercial was enough, but supporting this website just takes the cake :rolleyes:

Kfamr

02-05-2004, 08:59 PM

I haven't seen the commercial on TV (Geez, I miss so much while NOT watching TV!)
They have an odd, stupid way of advertising.. but their "original" is sooooo yummy.

Hehe, Isn't Chick-Fil-A the best? My mom works there, as well as many members of my family lol. I could get a job these right this moment if I wanted.

I looooooooove their fries.:D

I love the cows too, but the mispellings bother the heck out of me. :p

guster girl

02-05-2004, 09:31 PM

Grammar is a big deal for me, but, for some reason, I've never been bothered by the cows. It's always just made me smile, and, trust me, I'm terribly anal about misspelling myself. I still do say things incorrectly and misspell, but, I'm always trying to correct myself and/or learn. Anyway, every person I've known that has worked at Chic-Fil-A has said that they treat their employees really well. I should have gotten a job there. I'd make a great manager!

Thanks I think? What ever they are they need dental work!!! Never had any thing there guess I'm too loyal to my old boss at Subway I was manager for a couple of years.

ramanth

02-06-2004, 07:52 AM

Those things ARE creepy and I agree... they might be cute if there were advertising for something other than food.

To answer your question Amy, yes, Quiznos is the place that had the dead bird in their Super Bowl commercial last year.

They also had a commercial with wolves involved. Did you ever see that one?

I haven't seen this new commercial for them yet, and I hope I don't. LOL!

Oh... and when I go to Atlanta for Dragon*Con...I love going to Chik-Fil-A! Wish we had that chain up here.

G.P.girl

02-06-2004, 09:03 AM

I think Subway was the one with wolves in thier commercial.

lovemyshiba

02-06-2004, 10:17 AM

Those little things are gross!! I saw the commercial the other day, and it grossed me out!! I am afraid I might find them in my food if I ate there.
We had a Quizno's here for about a year--it went out of business. We have too many privately owned wonderful sandwich shops--those places cannot even touch the food at these places. And Subway--YUCK!!!!!!

moosmom

02-06-2004, 11:41 AM

What exactly WERE those things anyway??? I think the commercial is really stupid. Besides, I think Quiznos is expensive for what they give you. At least it is here in Michigan.

02-06-2004, 01:15 PM

I hate the commercials and I refuse to watch them. Unfortunately, they seem to be aired entirely too often. :rolleyes:

02-06-2004, 08:30 PM

I don't think the Quiznos TV commerical bothers me as much as their radio commerical I heard today...and actually I was going to start a thread about that and thought Amy beat me to it.

Anyway, their commerical on the radio today, the woman starts saying she is tired of it....tired of her dog humping her leg. Tired of her dog humping her neighbor's leg. And look she got this coupon for $2 off neutering. But the coupon is also good for a $1 off a Quiznos sub so her lucky pup gets to keep his parts. Then she is screaming that the neighbor to "run, here he comes". It was awful!!!

*LabLoverKEB*

02-06-2004, 08:53 PM

I also saw the commecial. Those things are so gross and disgusting!

micki76

02-06-2004, 10:16 PM

LOL, I had a Quiznos original tonight. I just forgot about those "things" and enjoyed my $1 off sandwich! :D

aly

02-06-2004, 10:44 PM

I thought the little monster things were potato chips, hehe. That song they sing on the commercial is annnnnnoying.

I missed the whole dead bird thing and I'm glad I did.

Chick-fil-A fries are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!

02-06-2004, 11:27 PM

I remember the dead bird commercial last year. It was a million times worse than this. It was awful. :( This is WIERD!

I also heard that commercial and thought it was really sick. This company just keeps getting worse and worse. Oh well, I think their food is totally disgusting anyway :)

I've only eaten there one time and wasn't impressed. I finally saw the commercial. It looks like hampsters or gerbils with those fake eyes and mouths. The commercial sucks!

moosmom

02-08-2004, 09:59 AM

I think we should write to the company complaining about how their radio commercial makes a mockery of spaying/neutering your pet. They should know that it makes people think it's okay NOT to be a responsible pet owner!!!

Anyone care to join me???

lovemyshiba

02-08-2004, 10:10 AM

Here is their info:

http://www.quiznos.com/contact.asp

I haven't heard the radio commercial, but I think it sounds awful--what a horrible thing to do. If they must make fun of animals, why couldn't they just say that it can be used for a sub or for money off of grooming or something, and show a dog with long poufy hair??

RICHARD

02-08-2004, 02:45 PM

First of all I think I saw one of those Quiznos things in the bottom of the cat's box. No eyes, but it looked like them..

Second.....

A couple of dollars off having your pet's 'bits' clipped???

I'lll hold out for a 50% coupon......

I think we should seriously examine our preoccupation with our pets 'sectshul' proclivities...

and lastly..
Here in California we have everything except a chik fil a....

why?

I think you all are pulling our legs

;)

I'll stick to Chick-Fil-A!!!
And speaking of commercials... check their new one out:

A question:
Isn't a toasted sandwich rightfully classified as a hoagie? :confused:

I little off beat and very bad singing,
I do like it better than Rap music.

I just looked at the Chick-fil-a site and we do have a few here in California.....30 miles away....

I have not eaten at Quizno's, but will also try to make a pilgrimage there too...

02-09-2004, 09:37 PM

I just happened to see that commercial, while looking for Westminster.

I agree - nasty looking things, they are! Especially to be advertising food. :eek:

However ... we're all talking about it and Quizno's, right? And that is the result of a sucessful commercial - making you remember the name of the product or company.

Here I was thinking the Lansing area would be spared when those commericals came on last night. I've seen them both once (while cringing in horror), now when it comes on I turn the channel. The bad signing alone makes me sick to my stomach... it doesn't put me in the mood to eat anything, least of all their sandwiches.

:p

I finally saw the commercial last night. It's not disturbing to me, nor does it make me want to rush out and eat at Quizno's. I have and probably will continue to eat there, though, when the urge strikes. :) But, it sure as heck won't be because of those little singing things. It did make me laugh, though. That's something, I guess.

02-17-2004, 06:54 AM

We haven't seen the ad, and didn't even know what Quizno's was. Looking at the link makes me think it might have been inspired by the SNL "Mr. Bill" cartoons that were also disturbing.

What do you think of the California cheese commercials? Aren't those pretty cows, LOL.

I hated the farting horse, burned face Budweiser ad on the Superbowl. Yuck!!!!

Logan

02-17-2004, 11:54 AM

I have no desire to eat at Quizno's, and after viewing their commercial, I was thoroughly confused!!!! :confused: What in the world am I missing???? Is there a point????? :o

That we try and attach a point to it makes their commercial a success.

02-18-2004, 02:21 PM

At first the commercials creeped me out but then they began to grow on me and since last week my husband and I go around singing in that strange voice "We love the subs". I forgot where I was Monday when we were shopping and sang it in Target. I got a few laughs and strange stares.

They don't really make me want to actually eat anything from them though.

catland

02-18-2004, 02:47 PM

the link that I shared here was given to me by a co-worker. Now there are way too many of us here who occasionally blurt out "we love the moon" or "we love the subs" or "beware of papercuts!":D :p :D

02-25-2004, 08:08 PM

I still HATE those things! They look like dead Guinnea pigs with fake mouths and eyes. And that shrieking gets on my last nerve! Just the thought of them and I get aggravated. Makes me never want to eat at Quiznos in my entire life. I still think I should email them with this link.
