Quizno's is the place that recently bought out Cosie, right? Or was it Cosie that bought out Xando?

Dammit, I'm so confused...

Heh, Quizno's should use the Flying Viking Kittens in their next commercial.

The Quizno's website will let you download the screen saver of those things. I have it now. Strange...

That is about the freakiest commercial I have seen in a long time. I find it just plain disturbing. At least it does its job. When it first came on, it instantly had my undivided attention, even if they weren't going for "What the hell is that?" It is one of the very few commercials I can place with a brand.

It gets your attention, and it (sort of) tells you about the product.

And you will INSTANTLY know what ad it is when it comes on.

Great advertising idea, really.

I hate that commercial. I hate it with a passion. And your avatar makes me want to beat you with a lead pipe, Nathan. No offense, I hope. :D

Compared with the shit eating, mother fucking, fart sucking, pieces of shit who make the Carl's Junior commercials, these are the most brilliant characters ever.

I hope the advertisers at Carl's Junior get the living shit beat out of them by someone who hates those commercials as much as I do.

So does Carl's Junior have the crappy black and white, "Why you should eat our thickburgers" ads as Hardees?

No, they have nasty ass people dripping shit all over themselves. They even add the foley sound effects so that we can hear the people chew, chomp, smack, drip shit, etc. I am fucking sick of it.

I like this one (back to the topic)

You'd think that Carl's Jr. would get the point that their commercials are disgusting after all these years.

Not that I've seen any, only heard about them. We only have Hardee's here.

We have Quizno's here, and I think the commercial was funny. They were obviously going after Internet cultists. BTW Cute av Nathan.

Well, I like the Carl's Jr. commercial with that hot piece of ass riding the mechanical bull while eating a hamburger. :twisted:

It should be noted that the best subs in the History of the Universe come from a Pittsburgh franchise called Uncle Sam's. I guarantee that there are no sandwiches anywhere and anytime that are better than an Uncle Sam's sub. My mouth started savagely salivating just thinging about those Gods among Sandwiches.
