Spongemonkeys

Remember the Quiznos commericals with the 'Spongemonkeys'? You know those little hamster looking creatures with human mouths singing 'We love the subs' and 'they got a pepper bar'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZrks-BPeLQ I came across it by mistake and laughed out loud as I did the first time I watched it. From time to time there are those commericals that really do their job, keep your attention long enough to sell a product or service. How do these advertising folks create something that can be so captivating. I mean, I know not everyone thought those little creaures were funny, but just how did they even come up in a brainstorming meeting. I admire those who have the imagination to create something so off the wall. I also found another one that I really enjoyed for a few years back by VW. http://www.cryptomundo.com/bigfoot-report/coelacanth-vw/ Check it out and you may remember it as well. Now I am Googling old commercials that I remember for some reason or another. I almost wish that I could just sit in front of the PC and do nothing but search out the pop culture from years ago, but if I did that I'd have been hired by VH1 and one of their quirky shows shows dedicated to that sort of fomat.
