We love the subs!!!!
SPONGEMONKEYS!!!! A word that has brought fear to the hearts of little children and old people.
What Are spongemonkeys you may ask? They are strange hampster type creatures that have the ability to levitate, and play guitar apparently.
These Spongemonkey characters were first created by a man named Joel Veitch. Joel creates Tv commercials for Britain as well as the US. The spongemonkeys first appeared in a little video expressing thier love for the moon. "We love thee moon!"
The spongemonkeys then went on to make their US debue on a quiznos commercial. The Eerie voice that sings about the quiznos subs may freak some of you out. I on the otherhand LOVE the spongemonkey commercial, Every time the singer says "They got a pepper bar" I roll with laughter!!! Why is it that these creatures can invoke such fear in some people, and such laughter in others?
I read an article about these creatures written by Seth Stevenson who writes articles about commercials for an online news group.
He says "According to Trey Hall, the chief marketing officer, Quiznos gets loads of mail on these ads. He says it breaks into three categories: 1) "What are these creatures?"; 2) "You gotta be kidding"; and 3) "This is genius advertising!""
Seth then continues to break down these three category's, For number 2: "you gotta be kidding" He says:
"Many of you are repulsed by the spongmonkeys, can't fathom how they would make you desire a sub, and worry that these ratlike creatures suggest an unsanitary sandwich-prep environment. " Its true that these little guys don't invoke sanitary thoughts...but come on!!! They ROCK!!!!
For Number 3: "this is Genius advertising" Seth states: "You know what? I totally agree!" he then says, "They've got a certain winning charm you can feel it in the way they sing "pepper baaarrrr!" And come on, the pirate hat? Kudos."
I am glad that Seth agrees with me on the charm of these creatures, and about the "Pepper Barrr" line. It really is the winning line in the commercial.
I Love these freaky creatures, and I hope that you feel the same. If you click on this link it will take you to the article that I quoted from and you can view the commercial there. http://slate.msn.com/id/2095868

I too love these crazy creatures...until this kid who rode my bus sang the entire song over and over and over every single day! Then I only sorta liked 'em. Oh, and about the whole existing thing, the shibby exists, Will exists, and E if I haven't told you that you exist already...you still don't exist. Oh, and since I'm the authority on these matters I must say that I too exist. Thank you, that is all.
This whole existing thing totally rocks, it's official. I mean like, everythings so different, now that I'm not an evil AI virus trying to take over the world, and I'm like real, it's cool. Cause now I can eat food.....and other assorted items. Anyway, I just want Eternal to know how cool being real is, and he should try it sometime....or get permission to try it, however it works.
It's either you didn't get any sleep last night, or the night before that, or the night before that, or the night before that, or you do crack. Either way, that's pretty dang sweet. But I'm sorry, I am cooler than you because....well I'm the Shibby, nuff said.
Wow E, I didnt know that I was so powerful. That rocks!!Can I shoot lazer beems out of my eyes???
I Just wanted to say, That E is real to me! And He rocks more than most people!! And You should all accept it cause..this is my blog. I GRANT YOU REALNESS ETERNAL!!!!
"I think, therefore I am"
There, that should settle the whole, "existing" debate. The went through this way back when and one guy, Forgethisname, sat down and hypothesized and thought and tried to discover if he really existed. And he came to the conclusion, "I think, therefore I am" That's science for you.
Oh and those spongemonkeys scare me like none other.
bah, who likes thinking anyway? Definetly not me cause....yea just cause. Nuff said there, anyway Sarah, you're "making people exist" authority is being overidden and you should hit do something about it...like kick a trash can, or something..yea
Wow, I didn't think that my one little comment would bring on such a massive debate. This shows that I have great power, more power than even Natalie, which means a lot of power. Therefore I stay the authority on existence, because otherwise I'll kill you all with my mind. I don't think anyone here wants that. And I would like to note that Natalie has probably had an imaginary friend, and I do believe that Eternal is simply another manifestation of her mind...she has that much power. Once again, thank you, that is all.
Whoa now, can we have any input on being killed with Sarah's mind? Cause I'm really not in the mood right now, kill me on Monday. And anyway, I was totally supporting your authority on existence, considering you granted me existence, so why kill me, I'm the Shibby, what black-souled demon could kill the Shibby? It's just wrong, and should never happen....ever (oh and by the way, I'm not a 'they' Sarah, I'm a 'he')
Well, ummm...I guess you can live the shibby, but that's only cuz I'm really nice, I'm a really nice black souled demon that will kill you if you ever reveal my true identity ever again. :) Oh, and the name "the Shibby" doesn't really tell me a gender, so instead of insulting you by assigning one, I decided to keep it gender nuetral. Now I know though, so yeah, I can either mock you by calin' you lady all the time, or just keep you male, it all depends on that identity revealing thing.
hmm, well it's a deal. So my little friend the fluffy white souled bunny rabbit. How are you? And no, I don't wanna be a lady, I'm quite content without having to deal with all of that. Plus being a guy is so fun, we have fun breaking stuff, being irresponsible, going fast, and making other people mad. It's a beautiful existence......since I do exist of course.
I'm doing well thanks, school is about to start so that puts a damper on the spirits, but alas, I will live. Wow, being a guy sounds like a fun and irresponsible existence (since you exist and all). I think 'm most jealous of the clothes myself. If only girls clothes were so loose and ill fitting, it would be nice.
