Too funny!
They look like hamsters on speed or something.
The commercials do get ones attention, though!
And Quiznos really has good sandwiches, btw.

LOL we have them here, they do make good sandwiches, when it first cam on ON thought what on earth! I think the critters are from a contest and the person that thought of this is from England and they are in other commercials I think

they scare me...I'm 45 years old and I find those things so scary (it's this Stephen Kind mind of mine) - imagine looking under your bed and seeing those things under there. I'd get the broom pronto - they certainly don't make me want to eat any of those subs.

LMAO...they are hamsters. There is a web site where you can go listen to more songs that they sing, when my daughter gets home I'll ask her for the addy. I think they are creepy too...but my husband and kids think they are great.
By the way they just opened one of these by our house and I love thier food!

LMAO Sam!! Too funny. The best part is that I read your post, and before looking at the link or scrolling down, I thought, I wonder if she's talking about Quizno's. Those are creepy, and thanks to Bulldog Momma, I now know they are hampsters. Which doesn't help because I am scared of hampsters. The first time I saw that commercial, I was laughing soo hard! i thought it was a bit for SNL at first.

Not the way I woudl advertise but...... Wink

According to that article you linked to, they are actually "spongmonkeys". Whatever that is.

I love Quiznos subs. Fortunately, I never watch commercials. Anything I watch on TV gets filtered through the ReplayTV first. Smile

I don't know, just makes me think their place is infested with rats and stuff....totally grosed me out!!!

Smokey barked through the whole commercial at them. Guess he hated them too!!!

I hardly ever watch tv, mostly on Sunday afternoons. Other than that, I'm busy!

OHHH I was wrong they are not hampsters, they are "Spongmonkeys" and you can hear them sing at the web site posted below. scroll down to Thursday January 23, 2003 to We Like The Moon...this site is NOT for kids in my parenting opinion, however there are no warnings.
