I think people are stupid to associate the roadkill mice in the commercial to the sub sandwiches saying for example “EWWWW they probably put them in their food.  I’m not eating there again!!!” With that reasoning you would probably think that you are gonna get laid everytime you buy a product that uses commercials with sex appeal. 
I for one laugh my ass off everytime I see the commercial.  FYI I see the commercial most on Comedy Central.

First, they’re not rats, they’re Spongmonkeys. Obviously a newly discovered type of rodent.

Just months ago a Popeye’s in maryland was investigated because they had chicken-fried a mouse.

When have any of YOU heard of a deep-fried Spongmonkey?  I rest my case.

I can personally guarantee that you’ll never bite into a Quizno’s sub to find a Spongmonkey hollering back at you. 

Can we forget Taco Bell, who used that stupid rat dog chihuahua to hock their food? 

And even though I can’t stand Quizno’s food, I find the silly appeal of the commercial far more tasteful than those stupid McDonald’s and Checker’s commercials trying to “keep it real” on the hip hop tip by acting hip.

I’d rather eat from a place that uses a silly outlandish commercial with fake creatures than idiotic companies that assume that everybody likes hip-hop and tries to use that appeal.

In fact, everybody should just stop eating at the fast food franchises and stick to the mom & pop shops that serve real food. 

I boycotted BK because of Shaq.  I stopped eating Nutella because Kobe’s ugly face was on the jar.

Come to think of it, the only fast food company with a decent commercial that has nothing to do with mass appeal is Quizno’s, which is simply silly humor. A very gutsy move if you ask me.  I’d rather someone make me laugh through commercials than disgust me by assuming I like hip hop and that I’d be cool simply by eating from their establishment.

Maybe I’ll sell more of my products by creating a rap video to accompany it.

My friend & I at work LOVE these things! I guess we love it mostly because it annoys everyone else! Keep it up Quizno’s - the spongmonkeys are great! Rock on with your rodent-selves!

I’ve been a Quiznos fanatic ever since I discovered them 4 years ago, and I’m surprised to read here that there are many people who don’t like their food...it makes me think they haven’t actually TRIED it, since they have by far the best quality product of the major sub chains.

In any case, I do admit the commercial is a bit freaky, but to avoid a place because of its ads? Then you have to stop drinking beer because of the “horse fart” SB commercial!

spongmonkeys, tarsiers, whatever they are.... they are great!  the only way quizno’s could make a better commercial is if they put the “she bangs! she bangs!” guy from american idol show singing with them!

I’m a senior in high school… an eighteen-year-old (yes, in the target market demographic)… and for everyone that says that this is advertising suicide on the part of Quiznos…
Let me be the first to say…

For the next week or month or so, every high schooler in America worships Spongmonkeys.

You know how impressional we kids are.  I can’t walk down to hall to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, or 7th period without hearing someone screetch,
“We love the suuuuuuubs...”

And now, instead of cruising down to McDonalds every day after school… you guessed it… the line proceeds to Quizno’s, rap and hip-hop long forgotten, the sounds of the Spongmonkeys blasting out of our car stereos via MP3 players…

Albeit disgusting… the youth love the Spongmonkeys… and Quiznos is raking in our hard-earned minimum-wage spending money because of it. :*)

This web site is great I cant believe we are such internet junkies to sit here and read all these comments about this commercial.
I checked out the site rathergood it is funny but some of the animations do not load/...oh well

Me and my husband sing that damn commercial all freaking day. I can sing the “the pepper bar” part just like the commercial. 
We are easily entertained. It cracks us up every time we see it. I am even inspired to make an animation with my husband’s head with the the bulging eyes. I am working on it now!! Ha hahahah it will be so funny!!! i will make him sing the sub song!!

As for the people who will not eat at Quiznos now that is just soooooooooooo stupid. ITS JUST A COMMERCIAL PEOPLE JEEEESE!!

Thanks stupid bastard for this forum it is funny to read these comments

damn i love that commercial. altho it doesn’t get me to go out and buy subs from quiznos—not because the commercial made me “sick to my stomache and not buy their food”, i just don’t want to. anyways, the commercial always cracks me up. my sister’s classmates sing the jingle too.  as someone said earlier, it’s ONLY a commercial, just visual candy (or vomit).

The spongmonkies to me, look like dead lab mice. Whatever they are, I rather not associate them with any type of food I might want to eat.

“There’s a fine line between cutting-edge, and cutting your own throat.”

Yes, it IS just a commercial, and it succeeds in being “controversial” ie, people are talking about it.  But when the point of a commercial is to sell a product, I’m not buying, and I live only a block from a Quiznos shop.

I would say the Quiznos commercial ranks slightly worse than the Carl’s Jr hamburger commercials that showed people in an apparent state of starvation sucking down sloppy hamburgers with all the irritating sounds of someone who was never taught how to eat with their mouth closed.
Horrible.... horrible eating sounds.  There must be a name for the extreme inability to bear the sounds of someone eating noisy food or chewing sounds.  Call me crazy or just brought up right.

Rob shows you all the great care he puts into both his sandwich creations and personal hygiene.
His motto, “Washing hands is for the weak.”

One of my favorites.  His best trick is a head-spin on your chicken sandwich. Gotta love Hector!

---Josef Mengele, Doctor of Sandwichology---
The good doctor has been experimenting again! He has come up with some new tasty creations that will conquer your tastebud world, baby!

---Billy-goat Botulism---
Add 1 part goat, one part botulism = advertising brilliance!  Who ARE those advertising geniouses!?

---Ed Gein, Head Meat-slicer---

---"Cluck" the Bird-Diseased Chicken---
Through the modern marvels of technology, the animated Cluck performs a self-sacrifice, diving on some bread heading into the oven on a conveyer.  Kids LOVE it!  That’s one CRAZY chicken!

If singing RATS didn’t work, I am sure these will get your stomach a-rumblin’ and your pedal-to-medal as you head to get a sandwich!  Yummy!

Very funny Jeff. I bet you (or whoever wrote these) could give us inductive images for sex too. So, what would you say to make us want to do it, do it (or not want to do it, do it)?

Uh oh, I just realized what that Quiznos critter kinda looks like if you turn him sideways.

!!kool ay edaM

Well…
Sex would have been a better choice than rodents any day...hehe Now that you planted a NEW IMAGE in my head…

Seriously… I have found enough foreign-objects in my take out food that I am now hyper-sensitive.  Let me share you my findings:

A used bandaid, still in a finger-shaped loop in the middle of my Dominoes pizza.
A green caterpillar in my jalapenos for my nachos from Del Taco.
A still-living cockroach in my onions at Cattlemen’s steak house. 

Now you know the hell I live in!

These dudesare hilarious and fuck those who say otherwise. kiss my ass bitches. spong monkeys are here to stay!

My GOd!  (if I can mention that without hurting anybody’s feelings) Yet ANOTHER look alike I’m-cool-cuz-I’m-an-athiest site.  Yawn Going back to MY planet.

I’m another person who stumbled across the site because I saw the commercial and googled for people’s reactions to it.

I love it, its hilarious and weird and a little disturbing, but in a good way.  The thing that is beautiful about it is the boldness....roadkill looking things in a food commercial!

Personally I just think most commercials are bland and seeing something just thoroughly f*cked up like this one is refreshing.

My guess is that those of you who are so offended and disgusted by it and want to boycott the company for—god forbid—shaking you out of your normal tv-watching trance are just OLD.  (and I’m not referring to chronologically)

Hell, I was cool long before I was ever an atheist. Cool isn’t something you get from your religious stance, cool is just something you are. :-D

i’m sooooooo glad there is a website out there
for this.  i thought i was the only one who’d
seen the commercial...i have all my friends singing “they got a pepper bar” and they’ve never even seen the commercial!! 
additionally, i was never bothered/offended by
the creatures...in fact, i originally thought
they were just little sub-sandwiches floating
around.
i just love those little guys!!!!  i want to
marry one....does anyone know if the one in
the sailor’s cap is single????

Those little spongemonkeys are the wierdest goddamn thing I ever saw.  The commercials work though because I ate at Quisnos one day last week just to check it out because I had never eaten there.  It wasn’t that good and it was kind of expensive.  I’ll probably never eat there again, but I still love those friggin’ little spongemonkeys!

I’m sorry to hear so many people find the ad disgusting.  I think it’s hilarious.

Did anyone hear that they’re running for president?  Check it out…

Spongmonkies For President

those things are fuckin hilarious!!! i couldn’t stop laughing while they were singing their moon song. mostly because it hardly made any sense. but hey that’s just my humor…
they. are. awesome.

I am an immature 38 yo male, when I saw the Quizno’s add I literally laughed until I cried...they are repulsive, but I shook it off and went to Quizno’s anyway.

Go spongmonkeys(tarsiers)!!!!!

I have the screensaver. they have some legend song, and the “We love the subs” song. and then they have a guitar solo.

The guitar riff sounds like “Do You Love Me.” I never get tired of the weak little people saying they’ll never buy a sub from Quizno’s or whatever because of the “dead rat commercials.” I like both Quizno’s and Subway, but I’d rather look at the Spongmonkeys than Jared. The idea that one can lose weight by wolfing down greasy subs is even more preposterous than those commercials themselves.

Actually, Jared’s story is very believable, as the whole point was that he wasn’t eating the “greasy” subs—he was eating the low-fat ones, and very little of anything else.  It’s a very simple issue of calorie deficit.  At his starting weight, eating only three low-fat subs a day (Subway’s nutrition page on their site is currently broken, so I’ll use stats from another site that quote their low-fat subs at a maximum of 320 calories), he would be incredibly far below the calories needed to maintain that weight.  Add in some exercise, which he did after he hit 300 pounds, and you’re deficiting even more.  It didn’t have to be Subway subs; he could have eaten anything that was only 300 calories three times a day and still lost the weight.

I love spongmonkeys!!!! Spongmonkeys are my are my best friends!!! I love those little guys!! I hate Quiznos but I love them damn spongmonkeys!@! Me and my best friend Mike Hunt bought the t- shirts!! Spongmonkeys are bitch ass!  Long live spong monkeys~ you have spong on your lip~ lol Mike Hunt~ lmao
