But Tritium is hitting the nail on the head: Jingles are made with simple noets so you remember them and they "get stuck in your head." This is what they want. Quiznos used these annoying rats in a commercial and now everyone is talking about them...good for Quiznos. The more people talk about the ad, the more people will be interested in the ad or Quiznos itself.

I think the ad execs will call this one a success

yep, and just look at it... people post in these threads on the internet, and people who like quiznos will mention appetizing sandwiches. therefore, if people are hungry and near a quizno's, they'll remember it, and they will want to try it. quizno's wins.

That's easily the best flash ever. Viking kitties. Did you know VH1 ripped them off too? You can't believe how pissed off that made me. I really hope they paid them for that shit and just didn't steal it.

In terms of commercials, this is way less stupid then some of the other crap I've seen (e.g. ones that make me say "Wow, you made a bad pun. Good job asshole."). Funny writers are an endangered species.

VH1 didn't rip them off but got them to do some internal promos for them. It's very common for MTV Networks to find some hip up and comer and get them to do some interstials for them. Remember the George Plympton MTV ads in the 80's?

Better rats than Don Cherry...

raeanna74 02-09-2004 09:08 AM

I've never even gone to quiznos so it won't make a difference for me really. We don't have any within 45 mins of where we live. I hadn't seen the ad yet either. I clicked that link though and my 3 yr old daughter who was sitting here watching cartoons noticed it. She asked "What are those?" I answered "Mice" She said "They aren't mice. I don't like them." Ha ha Out of the mouths of babes. It is most definately poor advertising, wierd and distastful. People most definately don't want to look at rodents when thinking about food. Definate appitite suppressants.

n0nsensical 02-09-2004 05:41 PM

Agreed, the commercials may be bad but the subs--mmm, toasty.

sailor 02-09-2004 07:18 PM

Good lord, I cant believe how large this thread has gotten... All over a stupid Quiznos coupon... ;)

TM875 02-09-2004 07:37 PM

I just saw it!! I was posting another topic and I actually stopped typing, turned my head, and thought "oh, good god...it's...THAT". Worst ad ever, especially since you really can't tell what the rats are saying.


What pisses me off the most, though, is that since I live in S. Eastern Pennsylvania....THERE'S NOT A FUCKING QUIZNO'S WITHIN 100 MILES OF HERE!! Why are they still playing the goddam ad?!?

Destrox 02-09-2004 09:29 PM

Ok, So i just saw this ad on tv.

All i have to say is: "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?"

Thankyou.

attercop1 02-09-2004 09:58 PM

I found the commercial stupidly funny, totally inoffensive and am busily clipping coupons to get my dollar off.

bltzkriegmcanon 02-10-2004 12:25 PM

shit the flash from rathergood.com is way worse than that. I hate those little fuckers.

flamingdog 02-10-2004 01:12 PM

I dunno, rathergood seems very "British" to me (yeah I know it actually IS British, I mean in terms of humour). maybe that's why you're all puzzled.

Edit: On the other hand... those ads are like rathergood without any of the quirky endearing humour. Still, you got to get paid I suppose.

rev_skarekroe 02-10-2004 01:40 PM

Man, some of you guys are really easily disgusted.

skier 02-10-2004 01:58 PM

oh god i can't breathe! hahahahahahaha it was just so bad....

Esoteric 02-10-2004 06:24 PM

The commercial is annoying, but somehow funny at the same time.

Dilbert1234567 02-10-2004 07:29 PM

its to anoying i will never eat there again

iamnormal 02-10-2004 10:09 PM

Not everyone can be beauty queens

punx1325 02-11-2004 12:20 AM

I love quiznos to death, but that commercial sends me crindging for the mute button everytime it starts. Can't they just stick to showing the sandwiches?

gilada 02-11-2004 10:47 AM

quite possilby the worst ad campaign ever. why would you want to eat at a place that uses fucked up looking, uh, things, with some of the worst teeth I've ever seen. I get sick just watching them, I have to change the channel or something when they come on.

DownwardSpiral 02-11-2004 03:41 PM

Yes Yes these adds are pretty damn retarded, makes me wonder who comes up with some of these things.

Alyssa 02-11-2004 04:27 PM

I may get flogged by all you, but I kind of find them silly in a wierd sort of way, they break away from the normal commercials. The commercials are so god awful it's funny.

Plus I think they look like mutant hamsters.

And what's the deal with bringing in ANY coupon...how would that work?


Oh well....

tfin 02-11-2004 05:10 PM

I love that comercial. I first saw it when I was rolling on morphine after my recent surgery. I did not really believe what I saw and chalked it up to really good pain killers. Then I saw it again with out morphine. I love it.

silverback 02-11-2004 08:15 PM

I have never eaten at a Quiznos and that comercial definately will not entice me to. Agree that the marketing people must be smoking something.

runawayfetus 02-12-2004 04:28 PM

i dont give a shit about their god damn commercials... they food is better then almost anything iv ever eaten.. so end of discussion

jay-g 02-12-2004 05:15 PM

Its all about something that makes you remember the commercial or product. And that commercial is definitely memorable and a stupid kind of funny. To me, that ad grew on me. I think that stuff is hilarious.

frankx 02-12-2004 09:12 PM

I asked a Quiznos manager the other day, "What's up with that freaky commercial?" His reply: "Yeah, fuckin creeps me out, too. Don't know what they're smokin at corporate."

I guess next they'll be advertising with roadkill or something.

It does stick in your head, though.

And, anyway, I agree with Runawayfetus. Since Quiznos opened here, I'll never go to another Subway.

cleanx 02-12-2004 10:54 PM

i love quiznos
i eat there alot
the comerical is kinda creppy

02-13-2004 12:28 AM

i found it funny at first but it didnt make me want quiznos....

now its just annoying!

Wax_off 02-13-2004 11:55 PM

It's already been said, but I'm adding my voice. The commercials work. Look at how many people are talking about it. When was the last time you talked with your friends about the last Brawny paper towel ad???

02-14-2004 07:57 PM

Unfortunately, quizno's is what made me quit eating subway for good. Is the add in poor taste? Of course! Do I think it's funny! Hell yea!

Honestly i think it's just a lowbudget, goofball way of getting stuck in people's heads.. My girlfriend saw the commercial last night while half asleep - this afternoon she wanted Quizno's.

Given a few minutes, i'm sure i could fine ad campaign's that are more offensive (at least to me)

deepinjello 02-14-2004 08:32 PM

If they wanted to use some internet trend it should have been something from fark then it would have more mainstream, though I have to admit the ad is a success as many people have pointed out since we are all talking about it. Oh well, c'est la vie.

Bamrak 02-14-2004 08:42 PM

I hated this from the start, and I still do.. however I've been singing this ....all......night.....long... it's actually catchy.. I just want it to stop :(

mystmarimatt 02-15-2004 12:55 AM

I've never liked Quizno's anyway, and that ad is just icky.

Xell101 02-15-2004 06:48 AM

I like those commercials. They get the message across with a medium that is totally stupid and irrelevant to the product, I think it's neat, those little rodents have no relation to anything Quizno's makes, it's totally stupid yet entertaining.

Trilidon 02-15-2004 10:49 AM

Everyone I know thinks those commercials are great. Quiznos owns.

The commercials are funny.

ladyadmin 02-15-2004 11:17 AM

It's still amazes me how so many people allow the media to influence choices that we make on where to eat, what to wear, what to drink/smoke..

I haven't seen the ad yet because watching TV isn't a usual occurance at my house. If I had seen it or had ever been to Quizno's it wouldn't change my mind if the food was good. For example, Arby's has that talking oven mitt which has a cutesy appeal to me. If rats were chosen to set the tone for the commercial instead I'd still hit Arby's because their roast beef is tasty along with their potato cakes and curly fries. I don't allow the media to manipulate my tastebuds. Are you going to?

You make an annoying ad, and I will refuse to buy your product out of principle and spite.

Chemical Smile 02-16-2004 07:09 PM

Say what you like, I for one enjoy this commercial. It's just so off-the-wall and dumb it amuses me. It won't get me into there store, or convince me to overpay for them to toast a sub, but I like the commercial.
