    You guys must have ordered the Traditional. That sandwhich is horrible. The Classic Italian on the other hand is fantastic.

    I think the commercials are amusing, better than something bland, and a hell of alot better than the annoying subway commercials. Also Quizno's is delicious, I don't care how much it costs.

    the moron is from Houston (the guy eating from the wolf). Way to go Klien Oak.

    Sorry to bring back an old thread but I saw it today in the Chronicle's entertainment section. His name is Jim Parsons.

    I don't see them in DC, but when I was in Vegas, I had one, and thought it kicked every other fast food sandwiches ass.

    I noticed that it was only on Comedy Central that I saw the one where the guy was sucking on the wolf. On the major networks he was just snuggling up to them. I don't know if they had to change it or what.

    Quizno's Wolf man was weaned in Houston

    By MIKE McDANIEL
    Copyright 2003 Houston Chronicle

    The topic: Quizno's "raised by wolves" ad, currently undisputed No. 1 in the category of Ads That Make Us Go Eeeewwww.

    [​IMG]
    From a Quizno's TV commercial
    The Quizno's commercial featuring Klein Oak grad Jim Parsons has people talking around the office water cooler.


    The story line: Man 1 taunts Man 2. After inspecting Man 2's "ordinary, untoasted" submarine sandwich -- a stark contrast to Man 1's toasted Philly cheesesteak from Quizno's -- Man 1 asks, "What, were you raised by wolves?" As Man 2 ponders, we see the image of him nursing from a wolf. Cut back to Man 2, who says, "Yes, I was. Hmm."

    Why it makes us go eeeewwww: Hello? The actor appears to be sucking the teat of a wolf.

    The story behind the story: That's Houston-weaned actor Jim Parsons with his head in the trough -- and actually, it's not a wolf. It's a Husky named Natalie, said Parsons, who now resides in Brooklyn. He and Natalie spent hours getting acquainted so she wouldn't protest when Parsons, uh, chowed down.

    "When she got tired or distracted, I smeared my face with jelly and she'd lick it off," said Parsons, who wasn't offended by the job.

    Parsons, 30, is a Klein Oak grad who appeared in numerous stage productions here, including The Threepenny Opera, The Tempest and Jim Lehrer's The Chili Queen. He was the "resident strange guy" at Infernal Bridegroom Productions, says Chronicle theater critic Everett Evans, who described one of Parsons' characterizations as a cross between Pee-wee Herman and Lily Tomlin's Ernestine.

    His commercial work helps pay the bills while he does what he loves most: serious acting. Next month will mark his second anniversary as a resident of New York, where he's about to appear in Paula Vogel's The Mineola Twins off-Broadway. He also landed a part in the upcoming film Garden State, starring Scrubs' Zach Braff.

    What did his mom, Judy, think about the wolf ad?

    "She's not sure what to make of it," Parsons said.

    Translation: eeeewwww.
