Still one in the Denver airport so it isn’t totally gone.

Inexplicably my tiny shit hole town has one still. It's in between a dentist office and a sex shop.

Was thinking the same thing, we lost our last one like 15 years ago. Actually really liked their subs, but I'll always think of those terrible ads with the Spongmonkeys. No idea wtf they were thinking with greenlighting those.

Guerilla advertising

It's dumb but iconic/memorable

You see Spongmonkey, you think of Quiznos

They are realistically selling a sandwich, something quite generic.

Options to have your 2000s sub shop's ad be remembered:

  • Nightmare fuel puppets
  • Pedophile

Turns out Quiznos chose correctly

While I do agree it was memorable (shit, we're talking about it literally decades later), they weren't exactly appetizing for a restaurant ad. I don't remember a single sandwich name from them so it didn't give me any meaningful brand recognition. Maybe it worked at the time, but no idea.

Dude, I would fucking love to get a fucking chicken carbonara sub again. I got one a few years ago in an airport (I wanna say Denver?) It was whimsical.
