View Full Version : Quizno Subs ad.
akashik 02-17-2004, 01:06 PM I've been seeing Quizno's hamster/gerbil/mice ad a lot lately (the one with the off key singing - or is that screeching).
Example of one here:
http://qpon.quiznos.com/
Now, don't get me wrong.. I loved the blowdarting test subject ads, and even the man suckling on a wolf ad... but I just realized now that from the moment I woke up this morning to now I've had that nasty song playing in the back of my head. :bawling:
I suppose in that instance it's quite a successful ad - though I wonder if a fast food place should really use vermin in their ads. :)
hendricknet 02-17-2004, 01:09 PM I personally think that the Rat ad is discusting. I highly doubt that I will ever eat at a Quiznos restraunt.
Informity 02-17-2004, 01:16 PM we've already discussed this :D

ChrisTech 02-17-2004, 06:24 PM MMM.....Quiznos....ate there today. I know the owner of the one in the town I work in. I help him with his computer problems, and I get free subs. Not a bad trade off. :D
Hiccups 02-17-2004, 06:56 PM As long as they don't put any of those hairballs in the subs..
Dan L 02-17-2004, 06:57 PM Quizno's has pretty tasty vegetarian subs, you're lucky Vamp22!
zerosix 02-17-2004, 08:18 PM Quiznos is awesome! Ate there yesterday :D
speedy007h 02-17-2004, 09:52 PM Love the food, hate the ad. it's so damned annoying. I like the old commercials. I especially like their radio spots - "Quizno's UNFAIR Matchup (Team of accountants vs. team of wrestlers), etc". Those crack me up.
ChrisTech 02-17-2004, 10:08 PM Good promo though.
p4rk3rs 02-17-2004, 10:14 PM You all missed the entire concept of the video. It was SUPPOSED to be random and odd in order to promote their promotion about bringing in any "random" coupon and it being valid.
Well at least that's what I thought the concept was :o
Xshare 02-17-2004, 10:26 PM I liked the commercial. It was funny.
AlaskanWolf 02-17-2004, 10:40 PM those two rats are the stupidest thing I have seen. outright annoying and stupid. makes no sense to me why someone would use two homemade cloth rats in ad's
just like that dog you seen lately on vh1 awards and other places, his not funny, and he smokes a cigar, whats so funny about that
NickRac 02-17-2004, 10:54 PM I HATE THAT AD
It wakes me up every night when I'm asleep and I leave the TV on

Uhh, turn off the TV, dweeb.
PCplayground 02-18-2004, 12:41 AM Maybe the whole purpose of the Ad is so that way people talk about the ad?
Remember, there is no such thing about bad publicity.
p4rk3rs 02-18-2004, 12:59 AM I think it was a recommendation of someone on Streetwise seeing how SW is Quizno's promoter.
kris1351 02-18-2004, 01:00 AM We actually went there the other day and there were 3 people in line that were discussing their hate for the ad. The funny thing is all 3 admitted they came in because of it, they couldn't get the image and song out of their heads. LOL I am happy for the guy at rathergood.
okihost 02-18-2004, 02:04 AM I agree I hate the ad and would even go far enough to say I find it a bit skeevy, but I honestly think that may have been one of the points of the ad and honestly I have though much more about Quiznos since seeing those ugly litle vermins on TV,
