Title: Quiznos Commercials
Post by: StephieSama on February 24, 2004, 07:16:08 PM
Have you seen those Quiznos Sub commercials? With those little... rodents singing and playing the guitar?

Ashley showed me this today:

Look familiar? hmmm?

And even if you haven't seen the commercials, its still hilarious.  XD

LOL!!  XB

Yeah, I've seen the commercials, those rodents are really absurd. ;) I'm still not sure why they used the singing rodents for the commercial though, except for the fact that they are truly unique. :P

Hmm, I absolutely have no idea what that commercial is trying to make me buy, even if it were available (I only listen to radio commercials so have very little knowledge about tv-ones, but I think it isn't boradcast here in Flanders) :-\. However, it doesn't matter how good or bad a commercial is, the fact it's talked about here in itself is a success. 8)

You say that now, but what would happen if you came into a store where they were selling that product and you needed that type of product, whereas you wouldn't recoginize any brand of it since it would be your first buy of such a product. Would you not then buy this brand of product? And no, you can't answer that beforehand. If you encounter that situation it's your subconscious that's influencing you. 8)

Lol, that's not the commercial. ;) It's just that those critters were used in a Quiznos Subs commercial later on by the same guy who made this animation. ;)

Ugh. Those things are pretty nasty, even without the benefits of the Flash :X  I've seen worse in actual TV commercials though  :-\

The subs or the mutated hamster things? ???

I find the song really annoying in the commercial.  That and the disturbing imagery of the mutad creatures  And the fact that mutated rats or hamsters are singing about the sandwiches, doesn't exactly make me want to eat at a Quiznos.  Do they serve some sort of radioactive sandwhich?  Will I grow an extra limb or will my eyes start to bug out if I eat at Quiznos?
If anything, the commercial seems to be a "don't eat at Quizno's" ad campaign.  Because I can tell you right now, I will NOT be eating there.  ICK! :X

One thing it does do effectively - you will not forget the Quizno's name (of course is that a good thing or a bad thing for the company?).

They do have good subs though, I've eaten there a couple times. ;)
Or it might've ben another place with a similar name, I can't remember. :P

They seem typically American, lots of fat inside probably. I don't think we have to fear them (the Quiznosians ;D) opening a franchise in Europe or the Middle East soon.

Of course it's a good thing. Negative publicity is still publicity - just look at Janet Jackson  ;)

I've never seen the commercials,(I think I would remember seeing something like that) but that Flash movie is disturbing.  :S
