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.

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?

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.

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?!?

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

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

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.

Man, some of you guys are really easily disgusted.

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?

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

now its just annoying!

Wax_off

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???

smithja0423

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

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.

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

Xell101

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

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

The commercials are funny.

ladyadmin

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?

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.
