10. bAds Pt.3 "Quizno's Toasty Torpedo"
This is starting to hurt me.
Stop it, just stop it all right now. Unfortunately, the otherwise intelligent WDCW has taken it too far with a raunchy, inappropriate ad for Quiznos. I'll admit that when this was on the air, it stuck in my head. Maybe that was the intention, but it didn't make me want to buy the toasty torpedo. To be honest, this commercial actually made me avoid the tubular sandwich because of the allusions it made during the spot.
I mean, he looks down at his pants and says, "I'm not doing that again, that burned." What is the intention here? To make the viewer feel uncomfortable? If so, then WDCW succeeded. I can imagine all of the teenagers watching harmless television with their parents when suddenly this atrocity penetrates their living room and makes the tension so high you could cut it with a knife.
There's not a lot one could do to make it better, other than scrapping the idea as a whole. I would probably make the sexual references more subtle, and not directly refer to someone's genitalia. And I certainly wouldn't have the oven repeat, "Stick it in me," ad nauseum.
