I hate those Quizno's hamsters!

[Edge]

They drive me off the wall!

Subway all the way, baby!

1. unappetizing in every way

who the hell thought that was a good idea for food sales?
They look like rats that are likely to lurk in the restaurant---plus they are the creepiest mutant creatures yet seen on tv.

[NWHarkness]

2. The critters are creepy

But they just opened a Quizno's in my neighborhood and I went there for the first time today, and I have to say that the sandwich was excellent, much better than Subway.

3. It's such a bizarre marketing choice

that I have nothing but respect for it. I mean, how many people are like me, rathergood.com groupies, who started giggling and singing "we like the moooooooooon!" as soon as they saw the commercial? 0.0000001% of the population?? With everyone else scratching their heads and going, "WTF??? Never eating there, that's for sure."

It's such a silly move, I tip my hat to them.

4. They are not hamsters!

Go to http://www.rathergood.com and see where they originated. Quizno's is supporting an independent artist and I will buy their subs because of it. Joel rules!

[Gung_Fu]

5. Yes

They charge way to much for their food, I mean it's good but not that good. Subway however has good price for it's subs, but the quality is mildly dependent on who is making the sub.

6. A good example

of what a "Star Trek" transporter accident would look like.

7. I don't care if they are hamsters or not.

They are creepy. They kill my appetite.

8. SF must have the mutant rats from NYC. n/t

9. The. Worst. Ad. Ever.

I mean, I like Quiznos a lot better than Subway, but...what were their ad execs thinking?

:wtf:

[onebigbadwulf]

10. I love the hampsters

They're funny and off the wall. Total college guy thing.

[RebelOne]

11. I saw that commercial for the first time last night.

And it is the dumbest commercial I think I have ever seen.

[abrupt]

12. Is that what they are?

I woke up and thought I was having a night mare.

[Bucky]

13. Rathergood.com calls them spongmonkeys. Does that mean "hamster"?

Alas, more proof that the British are just crazy

[noonwitch]

14. They remind me of Eric Carman's hand-puppet of Jennifer Lopez

I do like Quizno's subs better than Subway, Blimpies or Tubby's.

[Bridget Burke]

15. I prefer the Viking Kittens

Apparently, copyright issues removed them from the Rathergood site. They can still be seen (& heard) about the 'net.

However, I'll check out the Quizno's in my nieghborhood.

[DS1]

as much as I loathe anything rathergood, the commercial did its job

It got you talking. :shrug:

[midnight armadillo]

17. Talking is one thing

but those spongmonkeys are so grotesque as to completely eliminate any latent desire to eat a Quizno's sub, toasted or not. Is that what the ad is supposed to do?

[adriennel]

18. is that what they are?

I have been trying to figure out what the hell those things were for weeks now...very disturbing commercial, good subs.
