  • Quizno's Commercials: Creepy, Funny, or Pr0n?




    So Quizno's has been putting out some weird commercials lately. And I don't think I'm wrong when I say that I find them mildly disturbing. Hey, I'm all for weird and hilarious advertisements and for things that stretch the boundaries of taste, but I'm not so sure I like the direction there ads have been going in.

    There's something off about them, that's just creepy. For example take this ad that I'm sure you've seen that's been running all over the place:



    No! No, Quizno's, I will not make love to your kitchen appliances! Stop it!

    I do have to give them credit for trying something different, but it seems like they were going for funny and every time I see that commercial or hear it in the background I get incredibly creeped out.

    Ovens are not sex toys for humans. That sounds incredibly painful.

    Today its talking ovens seducing young boys, but what's next? Perhaps THIS?!?! Frightening.

    And then we have this ditty called "2 Girls 1 Sub" as to reference the most disgusting video ever made by human "2 Girls 1 Cup." I'm no marketing expert, but I assume referencing a video that is entirely about committing disgusting acts with poop is not a way to sell your food product:



    Doesn't something just not feel right about the video? I know they made it with Playboy, but it just feels creepily exploitative. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's just good fun. That is something I leave to you, dear reader:

    Are these Quizno's commercials creepy or funny, are they pr0n or just a bit of good fun?
