The New Nightmarish, Hypnotic Quiznos Screeching Cats Ad
"A press release points out that the tabbies are intended as 'fun and humorous,' which is helpful, because there's no way of telling that by actually watching." N.B. "not by Joel Veitch," inventor of spongemonkeys.
You know what I miss?
THEY GOT A PEPPER BARRRR
I am still unable to walk past a Quizno's (they exist!) without singing that line under my breath. THANK YOU SO MUCH, JOEL VEITCH.
I think this was done by the "my anus is bleeding" guy.
I think it's making my anus bleed.
There's a warning in small print that says "May Make Anus Bleed"
Don Hertzfeldt? Bite your tongue! His cartoons are brilliant!
That's because my spoon is too big. Sorry.
Hey! Silly hats only in here!
Are they wearing wigs? I CAN'T STOP WATCHING IT HAAAAALP MEE
THEY GOT A PEPPER BAR

How does someone not read the first comment. . .
I don't read comments, I just comment
Why are there only three Horsemen?
Best. Tag. EVAH — LMAO times infinity.
Of course, excruciating can also be hilarious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpJ6anurfuw
But with this ad, not so much.
Can we talk about the fact that the ad firm is named "WongDoody?" Because, seriously, what more could we possibly expect from WongDoody? Also, WongDoody.
WongDoody.
Wongdoody?
Hi Choire and Alex–
Am big fan… you see me blathering on here when I have time. (Just putting this here, don't know where it should go.) But I have a suggestion for the future of your enterprise, and I bet you might find it appealing.
Seems like everybody on here is artistically inclined — so then what? Well: many of us don't get up until midday…
You could consider starting the coverage later, and staying up a little later? It might feel like The Awl was more au courant that way?
Wouldn't you like to be kewl like me (ha) and sleep in too?
Then — when I come home from work at 12 (or 2) I would enjoy seeing stuff that was coming out later than 5:30?
You're running bankers hours. And hopefully (I know you're not) you're Not Bankers?
Sorry — too many question marks.
Best,
The nightcrawlers have been coming out lately.
Reminds me. I was in Chattanooga for work a few years back. Let's be clear: I don't like it much there. My most vivid memory of Chattanooga (from years ago, when I was pulling an all-night drive to Savannah) involves a roach crawling out of my pancakes at a Waffle House off I-24 at 2:30 a.m.
That's why you order the waffles.
Anyhow. I was in Chattanooga, this time for work, and couldn't sleep. TV sucked. My book sucked. Drugs just wired me more.
So I lit up Gawker, at 4:00 a.m. They were on all night by then, and even though I didn't populate (!) the site anymore, I had nothin' else going on.
And it was 4:00 a.m.
Long story short? Well, Ryan Tate, I love you, man, and Cajun Boy, you're like a lost bro I never quite had, but, Jesus Christ.
There's a reason people aren't doing anything at 4:00 a.m. Maybe if you've got some hard news breaking in Paris (France), or behind your Great Wall, but, lord. The content was dull, and the denizens acted like what you'd expect, in a Waffle House in Chattanooga, at 4:00 a.m.
Now back to our Morning Movie.
Why isn't there some PTSD Victim in Bangliore making $8/hour preventing me from seeing this?
I find the balls-out lunacy of Quiznos' ad campaigns… kind of respectable.
They're terrifying zombie cats singing a jingle about sandwiches to the tune of "Three Blind Mice."
No question this was created by people who say "dude" unironically to each other. A lot.
If we eliminated the words "dude" and "awesome" from online parlance, there would be approximately 1200 people online each week.
i made them. any questions i can answer, dudes?
Yes. Why are they so awful? I don't mean that to be insulting … clearly, you made them that way on purpose.
Did you make them awful just so we'd talk about them?
If so, why not show 30 seconds of footage of a maimed animal dying in the woods? Or a piece of human feces with flies buzzing around it? We'd talk about that too. Is anything purely awful good as long as we talk about it?
Again, I mean no disrespect. I'm just curious.
Yo. WTF, dude?
we like to refer to it as "memorable". i mean there's not a whole lot to overanalyze here dudes, they are what they are… singing kitties with wigs doing a dumb song. the rule of thumb is if your going to do dumb, do dumb all the way. halfway dumb is forgettable, really really dumb is memorable. even if it has a nightmarish hypnotic affect ; )
Then you failed miserably in both areas. I immediately change the channel when I see it come on…and I've stopped eating quiznos completely.
