I had a dream that I was being eaten alive by those little brown creatures who advertise Quizno’s subs in that TV commercial.
They rasped, “They’re warm because they toast them! They’ve got a pepper bar!” and took a huge bite out of my leg, which was already gushing blood.

I left a comment before. I swear! Where did it go?
Anyway, what I said was that I love those little furry Quizno’s creatures! Interesting tidbit: Quizno’s took that commercial from a Web site that featured the little animated things. Originally they sang “We love the mooooon!”
And you’ve got to admit, the pirate hat is genius.
Those little things creep me out, but my toddler loves them...I have to wonder about that.
Hate them, hate them, hate them. The web site they were taken from calls them spongemonkeys...even they dont know why. There was an article about them on 2/26 msn’s slate.
We Loooove the SSUUUBS!
oh yes. i find those little things horrifying—like the scream mask. i am infinitely less likely to ever even set foot in a quiznos on their account.
I can’t help but think they’re rats, and I can’t figure out why a restaurant would want you to associate their food with rats.
I also wondered why a sandwich shop would choose such a bizarre pair of snaggle-toothed spokesmen, but then I realized: I’m 30 years old. I am not their target demographic, Kate’s toddler is. In twenty years us old folks won’t understand anything about pop culture and we will have conversations that start with “Kids today...” and “In my day...”
Jules: That’s exactly what I said to my room mate the first time I saw one of those commercials. Definitely rats.
Frank: I already say that. Which probably means I’m a very old 34.
I have always loved we love the moon.
It’s the rathergood.com site. You know, the viking kittens guy?
It doesn’t make me want a sandwich, but it makes me happy that he’s making money off his brand of insane genius.
Hairy potatoes!
you know, i’m glad we’ve figured out where the little rodentesque sandwich guys come from, but i’m more struck by what seems to me a rather disturbing dream. are you under special stress? rodent-haunted? sandwich-deprived? bothered by commercials taking over bizarre british e-culture?
SpongeMonkeys...you were eaten by SpongeMonkeys
i posted a couple days ago both commercials and the we love the moon song to my site (yet2be.blogspot.com)...those spongemonkeys are the most ingenius advertising campaign out there...you love or hate em, but you remember Quiznos for making you decide...great stuff
Understanding the complicated and subversive backstory of these characters will neither help me sleep or entice me to sample Quizno products.
hmm. have not been subjected to these Quiznos creatures… and somehow am feeling quite relieved.
Greg: less Quiznos, more Halcion.
nothing like deformed, mutated, tone deaf rats to make me hungry!
halcyon is too weak for a dream of this calibre. i recommend atavan. you’ll be out for days ...
I am so not going to sleep tonight!
my band did a crazy rock version of the Quizno’s subs song at our show sunday. it was, well, tasty.
and that dream is damn creepy. almost as creepy as being attacked by vampiric yam hands. ick.
