Hasta La Creative!

Quiznos' Toasty.tv, a branded content hub that got an early boost from a popular Game of Thrones-House of Cards mashup, is once again pounding together two pop culture icons.

The results of Mad X-Men: Don Draper's Future Past are mixed, but one theme is consistent with the previous video: The main actor (Ross Marquand, who also played Quiznos' Frank Underwood and Rust Cohle in a spot-on AT&T parody) may not look the part, but he sure talks the part.

Somewhat ironically, the video's best scenes are almost pure Mad Men homage, with a random X-Men reference thrown in at the end. (If you're going to put that much effort into Mystique special effects, why waste it being awkward and quasi-homophobic? Eh, it's your money, Quiznos.)

Via Digg.

A few days ago I wrote about the Subway commercials advertising $5 foot-long subs with the annoying yet catchy jingle. Well, what do you know. Today, just now, I got home from work, find an excellent rerun of Top Chef and the firs thing I see is an ad from Quiznos for $5 foot-long subs. However, this one is lacking a little jingle. Instead I find myself in a laundromat where the lady behind the counter peels a five off the wall and eats it. The payoff? There is a better way to “eat five dollars.” They also boast more meat than Subway, which is why you are getting more bang for your buck. When it comes down to it and the battle of the $5 foot-long, Subway did it better. Quiznos strikes me as overdone and obvious (and what seems to be done in a crunch to compete with Subway’s offer). But take a look for yourself. I’ve even posted the Subway spot again.
