Those are things they slice up for the sandwiches I think.

[4mycountry]

Any ideas? You guys would seem to be the the ones who'd know.

[Johnny_Cipher]

Do a Google search on "I Like The Moon". The critters are from a hilarious web site which performs a song by that name.

Absolutely the best commercials ever. I like the guitar-playing one with the tri-cornered hat.

[KellyAdmirer]

I noticed them too. In fact, the person I was with made a big deal about them - she thought they looked like rats and said, "Why would anyone advertise food using talking rats?" And she doesn't talk about commercials very much, she was honestly shocked.

[Arkinsaw]

They sure make you want to rush out and eat something from there eh?

[templar]

I saw those things last night. I couldn't figure out what they were either. They certainly don't inspire me to go to Quiznos.

[Chi-townChief]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who found that .... disturbing (for a food ad anyway.)

[MarkeyD]

[Nea Wood]

Good Lord. Why would they use such an ugly, unappetizing...thing to advertise food?!

[retrokitten]

I don't know!! They are horrifying! They look like mutated mice.

[BlessedBeGod]

I absolutely hate all of their commercials, including that one. I wouldn't eat there if it was the last place on earth.

[biblewonk]

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Those things freak me out. I call em Thumbellion Bevis and Butthead rats. You would have to be farmiliar with that whole thumb animation thing though to get it.

Here's a more obvious similarity

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.

[Aggie Mama]

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.

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".
