And you (and people like you) are the reason I headed for the HILLS, my friend. Let me quote one key thing you wrote:<BR/><BR/>"Your posts are like nightmare focus group sessions where people who should have no opinion are paid $50 to pull one out of their ass"<BR/><BR/>So you are saying that people selected for the focus groups (i.e. people in the demographic targeted by your commercial) should "have no opinion" on your work. Let me ask you something -- then who SHOULD have an opinion?! If you're writing an ad for Quizno's shoppers, but you think their opinions on your ads are worthless, what does that say about your ability to write a relatable commercial? Or are you just trying to impress other out-of-touch creatives in order to win an award? Certainly focus groups (and the opinions expressed in this blog) should be taken with a grain of salt, but the attitude that you show -- well, it's that combination of arrogance and ignorance that PROVES you're a hack. Your insistence on writing in a vacuum is the reason we are assaulted by shitty ads like this one all the time.<BR/><BR/>P.S. PLEASE break down MLK's speech. I would love to know how you would rewrite it to make it as hilarious as this Quizno's ad. Whenever I hear "I Have a Dream" I always think, "Hmm, needs more dick joke."Quivering P.

Do any of you work in advertising? for the record i love the quiznos spot, and every other funny ad you dissected and ruined line for line. I could break down the "i have a dream" speech line by line and poke holes in it. You need to learn how to se the big picture. But what do i know, I'm just someone who makes funny ads. Or probably unfunny ads, in your opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4976730772853038669.post-10653364592328571752009-04-04T15:56:00.000-05:002009-04-04T15:56:00.000-05:00I agree, the guy who played Scott was goodI agree, the guy who played Scott was goodAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4976730772853038669.post-41242412099287393672009-03-31T20:51:00.000-05:002009-03-31T20:51:00.000-05:00Quiznos is leagues ahead of Subway in more ways th...Quiznos is leagues ahead of Subway in more ways than I can list here.

Wel...Allow me to be the lone dissenting voice here. Well, not really, the commercial is pretty creepy and gross, when you stop to think about its content. But the actor that played Scott was fantastic. Knowing that I wouldn't eat a Quiznos sandwich anyway, because they suck, I can just laugh at the sheer absurdity of it all. So I enjoyed the commercial, simply for the ridiculous, perfectly earnest performance of the actor. I guess that makes the commercial a failure, since it won't sell me (or many others) a sandwich, but we're all allowed our indulgences, right?TRichternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4976730772853038669.post-41258297347580121262009-03-31T17:02:00.000-05:002009-03-31T17:02:00.000-05:00This ad definitely pushed the envelope of stupidit...This ad definitely pushed the envelope of stupidity, creativity, and morality and not in a good way. The ad airing on TV is stupid too, but this version is wrong on so many levels. What were the advertisers thinking? Presenting a sexual relationship between a man and an oven is not only random, but horrible. The "love" for the Toasty Torpedo crossed the line. Last time I checked Quizno's was selling sandwiches, not sexual pleasure from ovens.ABlackwellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4976730772853038669.post-45374647576238078512009-03-31T15:35:00.000-05:002009-03-31T15:35:00.000-05:00Yeah this ad was completely disgusting.

BUT...<BR/><BR/>I saw an ad the other day for G2, and it had pitch lines like "I've never had to tell my wife we can't make the mortgage payment," and "I've never been laid off" (something like those). Have you seen this ad? Although I'm fortunate enough to still be employed these days, I've NEVER been so put off by an ad.
