Five Minutes Earlier…
I wanna see a senile Don Draper react to the creation of Zima.
Joel Veitch really cashed in on rathergood.com at the right time (assuming this isn’t just a rip-off of his style)
There was a milkshake advert he did in the same style in the UK
Joel did indeed collaborate on this ad, its actually a reference to a prior animation that he had posted on rathergood.
I actually knew about rathergood and all the animations long before his foray into advertising, that was how I originally made the connection years ago!
I was in secondary school at the time and lunches during winter were basically spent watching the golden era of flash animation in the computer labs
Oh God yeah… Newgrounds was the place I landed upon.
I still jam out to gaybar at times.
Did he do the hedgehog that sang about the axe wound?
Yes
I know I’m the worst, but I kinda loved those commercials. Quiznos is garbage food, but I appreciated them taking a risk on something so crazy and polarizing. I guess I just have a soft spot for anyone or anything that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Quiznos used to be good. Now its garbage. God I miss old Quiznos.
Same. It was surreal seeing early internet humor played on TV, because the separation between internet and “real life” was still the norm.
I loved the pepper bar myself.
Obviously the best part.
They got a pepper bar!
Came to the comments looking for this. I knew I would not be disappointed.
During this time of my life, every response was a movie or commercial quote. I somehow had almost every conversation this way. Now it’s just meme responses. I’ve grown.
I miss Quizno’s 🙁
Me too. I used to be a manager at one, we would invent our own recipies. Wanted to get a secret menu going but our ownership sold to someone new and corporate sent in a bunch of spooks and trainers who got real fucking pissy about us even making food for ourselves off menu.
That place knew that had gold but they tried to extract every last cent out of their franchisees which even resulted in an eventual lawsuit IIRC.
But god damn the food was so good.
Omg same. 10 years at Quiznos. RIP
I used to order the Cabo Chicken even after it stopped being on the menu.
RIP Honey mustard chicken with bacon and a fruitopia
Say what you will, anyone who saw that ad can hear this picture.
We really like da moooon
sandwiches, quick and fast. your not selling just a sandwich. your selling speed your selling convince. when your hungry its there. just like rats.
ceo: rats huh? ur onto something
Don Draper ruins his career on an ad you’re still talking about over 25 years later
Those little guys were the BEST!
Nah, let him end on a high note: the absolute masterpiece that is the Berries and Cream Starburst commercial.
That, or the other masterpiece from the era: the Delux_247 Coke ad.
My wife and I still sing this to each other in the grocery store.
You could do that now if you just spent a little money on the makeup budget.
The majority of information I have on the TV Mad Men is the pitch John Oliver gave about the need for an episode where Don sells Opiates in small bottles at Gas Stations. (ZaZa, Kratom, 7-OH, etc).
