Blast from the Past: Sponge Monkeys

It's the Monday Blast from the Past, because you need something fun to get through your week! Lord knows I do this week...

Today we pay remembrance to:
The Sponge Monkeys!

You may remember the Sponge Monkeys from circa 2003 in one of Quizno's first major add campaigns. As I sat in a Quizno's yesterday enjoying a tasty chicken carbonara sub, I thought about how much character the Sponge Monkeys gave this restaurant establishment, and how America reacted to these delightful little creatures. Many thought they were ugly, disgusting, and annoying, but I feel that they were just misunderstood. When in my freshman year of college I downloaded a Sponge Monkeys screen saver to my dorm room computer that even included sound and singing, my roommate went off the deep end and threatened permanent damage to the computer. But I know she secretly liked the Sponge Monkeys. I mean, who couldn't! I know I want my food being peddled to me by deformed singing rodents that one would swat with a broom or try to poison if found in a kitchen. Don't you?

For more Sponge Monkey goodness, youtube clips of them singing about such topics as toasted subs, coupons and the moon!
