		The impact of the Spongmonkeys on the American pop culture can only be compared to when the Beatles crossed the Atlantic.
		The HIT and AMA released their ongoing studies into the effects of the Spongmonkeys earlier this morning and announced that the spike in brain activity appears to be from a encrypted layer targeted towards the subliminal part of the brain.
		The Spongmonkey's signed a $20 million/5 year deal with Quizno's, a $15 million/5 year deal with Fox for a sitcom, a $10 million/5 year deal with Dynomite Pepper's and a $100k/20 year deal with The Mindless Void.

	Collin vs. Blog: They got a pepper bar!
		According to Seth Stevenson over at Slate, 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.

		Posted by: lori at February 25, 2004 03:18 PM I was really freaked out when I saw on a sandwich commercial the freakish furry things I remembered vaguely from some disturbing website out there somewhere.

	From The Horse's Mouth \| The Alf Report (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Well, we looked at the characters, called "Spongmonkeys," and said, "Who's going to relate to these most?" They were dead on with our target audience who are 18-34 year old males.
		For the Spongmonkeys, that was definitely the target audience.
		So, any concern about how a character relates to the audience depends on what the character is and who the audience is. In this case, we thought they were a perfect marriage.

	Sub chain scores hit with unconventional ad torpedo \| Alf's Articles, Shoestring Marketing \| Alf Nucifora
		It seems the ad world is a-buzz about the new campaign recently launched by Quiznos Subs featuring a pair of crudely animated creature-characters, resembling rodents, who go by the official name, Spongmonkeys.
		What we didn't want to do was change or redefine who the Spongmonkeys are.
		In Quiznos case, they don't have the billions so they need guys like the Spongmonkeys on their side.

		The clip, which calls the characters "spongmonkeys," seems pretty clearly the basis for the Quiznos ad.
		The spongmonkeys clearly fit in the former category, but they may never grow into the latter.
		But I'll miss the spongmonkeys when they're gone.

		I am willing to bet that I am not the only cementhorizon type person who was amused by the ads and did some Googling to discover their origins.
		I'll also bet that Jack-bo probably recognized the characters in the ads immediately as Spongmonkeys: the stars of a flash animation entitled "We like the moon" that was circulating around the internet a while ago.
		Actually, I'd never seen the Spongmonkeys until I caught the Quiznos commercials.

	Quiznos’ ads geared to an 18-34 taste \| www.azstarnet.com ®
		The critters - familiar to the fans of a comedic Web site, rathergood.com, as the Spongmonkeys - are brought to life with the lowest-tech animation this side of “Speed Racer” to sing the praises of Quiznos sandwiches in purposely off-key, out-of-sync voices.
		In the commercials, the weird-looking Spongmonkeys - poorly drawn characters with ill-fitting teeth, popping eyes and incongruous hats - warble jingles that make the Oscar Mayer tune “My bolog-na has a first name” sound like a Cole Porter verse.
		As madcap as the Spongmonkeys are, “this is classic testimonial advertising” because the characters come out and talk about the product as proxies for consumers who love the product, said Kerry Feuerman, vice chairman and group creative director at Martin.

	Artsandentartainment: Sideshow
		Generally, the repulsed are being described as not young and the lovers young, which means the ads are going according to the marketing plan: appeal to the biggest fast-food eaters, teens and 20-somethings.
		They first appeared on his Web site, www.rathergood.com Quiznos bought the rights to the SpongMonkeys from Veitch, who told the BBC last year he couldn't say exactly what a SpongMonkey is. The Zehnders said customers wonder if they're rats, mice or gerbils, or some mutant version of them.
		AND IT WAS: As freaked out as people get about the SpongMonkeys, Skip Zehnder said, the reaction isn't nearly as negative as it was for Quiznos' previous ad campaign, which had the "man raised by wolves" and included a scene of the man suckling his "mother wolf's" teat.
