02/08/2004: That's Entertainment? That's Entertainment?

A commercial that made me think that I was mmmmmm toasted...

alt_text

Quizno's subs, once presented to American customers as wholesome quality subs on toasted rolls, has hired a couple of morphine-sucking monkeys to do its latest ad campaign now that they're almost a national chain. What it seems like they've done is stumble upon a random website with really bad animation, change the wording to a really bad song about the moon sung poorly by rodents with poor teeth, and tell their customers to bring ANY coupon to the store for $1 off a sub.

If you don't know what commercial I'm talking about, click here to see the shit that Quizno's is slinging on TV. If you want to see the original bit, click on this retarded website to see a bad song sung poorly by rodents with poor teeth...who like the moon.

Do not blare this at work or around anyone who you are attempting to persuade to have sexual intercourse with because it will render you jobless and celibate.

Are they catering to the stoners who would go buy subs based entirely on a silly commercial? Please do take a look at the original song, I cannot tell if its brill or retarded.

I will go there out of principle from now on...and because subway sucks...and commercials can occasionally be effective.

I am sooooo glad someone brought this up!! I mean what the f@%k!!

1) I have no idea what is going on in the commercial!!! And I smoke with the best of them.

2) This does not make me want to eat!!! In fact just the opposite.

3) Who in their right mind said "that's a great idea."

4) They will but anything on TV, but never anything good!!!!

5) I bet somebody got a big check for that piece of crap commercial!!!! They should get herpes instead.

Obviously this has bothered me! I'm glad to get this off my chest. I'm not kidding when I say that this was the worst commercial I have seen in years! I'm glad you cleared up that they were "rodents with bad teeth" because on top of the crappy premise I couldn't even tell what the hell the furby looking things were. And the high pitched shrill makes me want to hang myself!!! F@*kin', F@*k', F@*k, F@*k
