My Favorite TV Commercial

 
Click here for larger version! Photo Hosted at BuzznetI just finished uploading a bunch of new pictures here, and in all the photos, drawings and clip art, I found a file that I had almost forgotten about. It was a picture from what was my favorite television commercial for the longest time. That was a Quiznos ad that featured some crazy little animals singing a song called, "We Love the Subs!" I used to crack up every time it came on TV. My Dad wasn't sure if he liked it at first, and said that my singing it all the time drove him crazy, but he used to laugh.

Then one day he found something funny on the Internet, and it was the original song that the Quiznos as came from. It was called "We Like the Moon" and it came from a guy in England named Joel Veitch, who has a site called rathergood.com. He showed it to me, and we put all the links on my computer so I wouldn't keep making him nuts. I found out that those funny animals weren't rats, as some people said, or weasels. They were called Spongmonkeys. Not sponge-monkeys, the proper term is Spongmonkeys. Some people liked them and others didn't.

You can still find the original flash video clip of "We Like the Moon" and even download the song as an mp3 audio file. If you like their humor, they have another very funny music video clip, "I'm Gonna Flip Out Like a Ninja" with animated cats, and it's very good. They have lots of other songs, videos and crazy things there as well. He is sometimes associated with a British humor group called B3TA (remember Badger, Badger, Badger?) that was to Wikipedia), but I can't link to them here as some of their stuff is really NSFW. 

Here is the actual "We Love the Subs!" commercial that we found on YouTube.com. 

The Quiznos commercials aren't as funny anymore. They had a baby named Bob who talked for awhile. It was OK, but it just wasn't as funny as the Spongmonkeys singing "We love the subs..." Joel Veitch is still making commercials, but they are mostly seen in England. He just did one for Miller Beer, which is on the Internet for the US, but since I'm underage we can't go there. 

Since you're here, please take a look at my pictures, and leave comments (or Buzz +) if you like them.

Funny, and you're right about the Quiznos ads not being as good as this one. Joel Veitch has put most of the ratherhood.com videos over on YouTube.com, and you can find them by typing in his name to search. The original "We Like Tha Moon!" is there too.
And as they say on b3ta, Woo Yay Houpla Panowie Tip-Top.
