    Was thinking the same thing, we lost our last one like 15 years ago. Actually really liked their subs, but I’ll always think of those terrible ads with the Spongmonkeys. No idea wtf they were thinking with greenlighting those.

      Guerilla advertising

      It’s dumb but iconic/memorable

      You see Spongmonkey, you think of Quiznos

      They are realistically selling a sandwich, something quite generic.

        Options to have your 2000s sub shop’s ad be remembered:

        • Nightmare fuel puppets
        • Pedophile

        Turns out Quiznos chose correctly
