Quiznos Subs Advert
Over the last few months in our area more and more Quiznos subs (sandwich shops) are opening up, as it's a franchise.
There is an advertising campaign on the tv but there are two weird creatures - which look like deformed rats - singing very badly indeed.
It's quite put me off ever going into a Quiznos!
However, I guess the adverts are so weird that the product they are advertising is definitely unforgettable....!

Who in their right mind uses rats to advertise food - eat at Quiznos - as recommended by the rats!
The Arbies slogan "What are you eating" I didn't know it was a ****ing guessing game, I was hoping it was beef but if you're asking you obviously think I think its beef!
The advert for sleeping pills warns "may induce drowsiness" - well I ****ing hope so or there would be no point in taking the bloody things.
Any alcohol advert advices "please drink responsibly" why? 1. Whats the point in that and 2. What do you care how we drink as long as we drink lots of your product. Whats next, McDonalds saying "please eat responsibly".
Would you join "an Army of One" - you'd have to do everything, guard duty, kitchen duty, fight illegal wars, when would you rest? And why does the US only have one soldier - the rate they are dying in Iraq it will be a self fulfilling prophecy!
Has anyone seen that advert for the new teeth flosser which advertises how easy it is by showing how difficult flossing your teeth is now! How ****ing retarded are these people that they have problems flossing their teeth! For petes sake if you can't floss your teeth you really shouldn't be let out the house without a helmet on.
It worries me that a country that makes such a fuss about Janet Jackson's breast doesn't care their president lied to them about Iraq. A country where you can sue McDonalds for making you fat but can't sue a gun company for supplying guns to people to kill innocents. Where Same sex marriage is worse than Osama Bin Laden (I am in a same sex marriage, in my marriage its the same sex night after night!).
If Condaleesa Rice is so happy with whats going on in the bush administration why does she always have a look on her face like her batteries have just died in her vibrator, can anyone answer that?
I hear the CIA is officially changing its name to Oliver North next week!
I rant therefor I am sexually fustrated, if anyone wants me I'll be on www.supermodelsinrubbernunsuits.com

Having eaten Quiznos once, I certainly regard them fit for rats and not people so its befitting that there are rats promoting the chain.
As for the Arbies slogan, it sounds like a fair question. Customers may think they're eating beef but what was fed to the cow?
My answer to the Arbies slogan is "I'm not eating Arbies and I'm doing fine, thank you."
I think it was Microsoft who started the trend of having questions as slogans. "Where are you going today?" wasn't it? My answer: "None of you business!"

MBNA - "Whats in your wallet" - "an expired condom, 3 dollars, 2 receipts and blockbuster card from Soham.
What other advertising slogans can we rag on?
Nike - just do it (but please use our $150 sneakers while doing it, they would be $30 but we have to recoup the $80 million we have paid to Lebron James)

Re: Quiznos Subs Advert
I think I can put all your minds at rest...having studied these creatures in the past, I can confirm that they are (or at least they bear a remarkable resemblance to) the South American midget monkey...

I actually rather like Quizno's subs, although I don't eat them that often.
I also think the "rats" ad(vert)(isement) is hilarious! But then again, like my folks used to say when I was younger, I'd laff if I saw a cat's ass on fire! My father-in-law, who works in advertising, also thinks the "rats" ad is funny and creative!
To each their own, I guess....
Oh, and the "Drink responsibly" thing... it's to avoid lawsuits, silly!

I just love those erectile dysfuntion ads, warning of problematic side-effects including sustained erections of more than 4 hours! How unfortunate!

I have to admit, I'm an advocate of the ad...I think its hilarious, and to be honest, its doing the job is was intended to, you can't deny that, its getting people to talk about it...not only do we all know who Quiznos are, we know what they do and we remember their ads.
It'll get some awards I'm sure, and if nothing else, IF we all keep talking about it, someones going to try their 'warmed up shite' sooner or later.
I was always told in school that advertising has two functions...
1) Name awareness (and they've achieved that)
2) To make the people that have already brought the product more confident that the product is worthy of them having spent their money on it, simply because the company have the resources to run a nationwide ad campaign.
I wouldn't mind the money they spent, although I wouldn't buy advertising time with it, I'd buy a big bloody Yacht and sail around the world)
