Someone explain those new damn Quiznos commercials?
Who makes them? I need answers!
Why the weird hamsterlike creatures? Why the superimposed crazy mouth and eyes? Why the crazy singing voice gibberizing a song about quiznos?
The worst thing is, I thought I hated it. That I really really hated it, but it turns out I love it. I need help.
Give me answers please. I need answers!

Posted by: seanbonner at February 6, 2004 07:57 AMI cant explain it. I am still wondering why they dont put prices on their menus.
Posted by: kinkoman at February 6, 2004 08:38 AMMy husband and his best friend are in love with those commercials. "We got a pepper bar!"
I think they look like furry chicken breaasts.
No matter what they are, they are doing their job well. We all remember the name and the content!

Posted by: ann at February 6, 2004 07:54 PMYou mean they are hammsters? We thought they were rats!!! ewwwwww!
Posted by: Susan at February 7, 2004 04:25 PMOh so scary! These things are like crazy demented chinchillas on acid! They make me want to run FROM Quiznos, not TO it! LOL
Posted by: Gemini2 at February 8, 2004 12:50 PMGod, the new commercials RULE! I'm totally in love. :)
Hope they never never change
Posted by: shocking_sour at February 8, 2004 06:11 PMThe new Quizno's commercials are the best thing I have seen in advertising in years. Either you love them or hate them. I hope there is more to come from the creator of them!
Posted by: Manda at February 8, 2004 07:35 PMjoel veitch isn't getting any credit in the advertising community though. i work as an art director in advertising and immediately recognized "the moon song", but in all of the professional magazines i've been reading "The Martin Agency" is being given sole credit for the ads' creation!!!!!!! i would never take credit for something i did not create! this is called appropriation!!! I'm glad that there are those who realize who is the true creator here...
Posted by: eccentric at February 10, 2004 05:15 PMhahahahhaha! thank you god! i've been looking for the origin of these bastards for days now. this is wonderful. i knew they were on the same site with the perverted hedgehogs, but i couldnt remember the site. and now what am i going to do? send links to all the people i know who find those spongemonkeys disturbing. HAHA!
Posted by: Eric at February 23, 2004 10:54 PMi dont love them and i dont them.

I have the answers you seek, prof...
They are created by Joel Veitch, and you can see more of his stuff at http://www.rathergood.com.
First time I saw his stuff was when he was doing animations for VH1. He did a couple (or three?) kitty animations for them about a year ago.
