Guerilla advertising

It's dumb but iconic/memorable

You see Spongmonkey, you think of Quiznos

They are realistically selling a sandwich, something quite generic.

While I do agree it was memorable (shit, we're talking about it literally decades later), they weren't exactly appetizing for a restaurant ad. I don't remember a single sandwich name from them so it didn't give me any meaningful brand recognition. Maybe it worked at the time, but no idea.

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

  • Nightmare fuel puppets
  • Pedophile

Turns out Quiznos chose correctly
