I just saw the new Quiznos subs commercials on the TV. What are those nuked rat looking thing things?! I've seen pics of them posted on FR before. Someone please explain to me what they are and why Quiznos is sporting them now. O_O;;;

If you haven't seen the commercials, you can go to the the link above and see them. OMG.

I saw that last night as well. If anything the commercial makes me question their hygiene.

Here's a more obvious similarity

[Johnny_Cipher]

Yeah. Somebody sent me a link to it and almost made me jump through the ceiling when it started.

[Constitution Day]

I dunno.
Here's Boohbah just for the heck of it, though. *evil grin*

[Dead Corpse]

Could be worse. My five month old daughter loves that one...

Aw come on... Even the National Review folks were hip to these guys... They are Joel Vietch's Flash Presentation creations. MOst of his creations can be seen at rathergood.com (Look under kittens on the left menu, even for those Quisnos creatures.)

Ever hear of The Viking Kittens, singing "The Immigrant Song" or "Gay Bar"? That's the guy

Here is the song that the Quiznos ad is a takeoff of:

(Definitely the strangest of the songs.)

Immigrant Song is not on that site, and it is among the best. Here it is:http://users.wolfcrews.com/toys/vikings/

It's like something out of an bad arts college project.

Don't we have a policy against posted naked Rosie O'Donnell pics?

[Constitution Day]

When I saw it last weekend I kinda lost my appetite...

And I liked Quizno's...

I don;t thnik I'll get those images out of my mind now...I'll need therapy...Hypnosis...Something...

Ha! It's funny you should mention this. I saw one of their ads last night and just about gagged. Fuzzy ugly creatures don't go a long way to selling me to buy soup and a sandwich.

4my - it's a creation of the same "creative" person who invented the Viking Kitties. Rathergood.com Considering he / she / it most likely didn't have legal use of Immigrant Song, the "Real VK Version" is no longer there.

You can only put lightning in a bottle once.

And I liked Quizno's...

I'd be curious to see what this line of advertising does for their sales.

I like those little chocloate Bundt cakes they sell.

[stevie_d_64]

I just can't get away from the video...

I think its very subliminal...It gets ya hooked...

Glad I used the search function because I was about to post a vanity about this. Nothing this weird should be loosed on mainstream culture. The pulsating eyes are bad enough but I have a sneaking suspicion that the bodies are dead mice. Top it off with vocals that sound like Emo Phillips (anyone remember him?) and there you have it: an entire generation of traumatized consumers who won't even approach a Subways unless they're near starvation. I'd hate to be the investor reading Quizno's next quarterly report. This will probably end up in advertising courses under "Horrible Blunders".

Like everyone else has said: It doesn't give you a craving for a Quiznos sub.

Why anyone would use those things as advertisement -- for FOOD, no less -- is a mystery to me.
