# Funny Suggestive Commercials Quiznos ‘Toasty Torpedo' Goes For the Pun By Ayman | Published 2009-03-30 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/padma-lakshmi-quiznos-shammy-burn-commercial References: [trendhunter](http://www.trendhunter.com/ayman) & [quiznos](http://www.quiznos.com/) While Hardee’s went with an overly sultry and sexy vibe with the [Padma Lakshmi commercial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meal-diamond), [Quiznos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asian-steak-dipper) goes for a playful suggestive affair between Scott the sandwich maker and the Quiznos talking toaster. You have to watch the commercial. I just can't get over the Quiznos talking toaster telling Scott, "Put it in me!" Even the name of the new sandwich, the *Toasty Torpedo*, is full of suggestion. I applaud Quiznos for the self-deprecation and for going the extra mile. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Playful Advertising:** Companies can capitalize on playful and suggestive advertising campaigns to grab consumer attention and create brand awareness. - **Humor in Marketing:** Incorporating humor in marketing materials, such as commercials, can help brands stand out and resonate with audiences. - **Controversial Advertising:** Controversial advertising, as seen in the Quiznos commercial, can generate buzz and spark discussions about the brand and its products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fast Food:** Fast food chains can leverage suggestive and humorous advertising techniques to promote their products and engage customers. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing and advertising agencies can explore creative ways to incorporate humor and controversy into their campaigns to achieve client objectives. - **Food and Beverage:** Food and beverage companies can experiment with provocative advertising strategies to differentiate themselves in a crowded market and attract new customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Globally Inspired Sandwich Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asian-steak-dipper.md) - [Seasoned Seafood Sub Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemonherb-lobster-sub.md) - [Comical Love-Inspired Food Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-king-loveinspired-ads.md) - [Hickory-Smoked Burnt Meat Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hickory-smoked-burnt-ends-sandwich.md) - [Meat-Free Deli Product Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meatfree-campaign.md) - [Montreal Smoked Meat Subs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/montreal-smoked-meat-sandwich.md) - [Flavorsome Club Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quiznos-1.md) - [Cheeky Snack Chip Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doritos-a-spicy-but-not-too-spicy-plumber.md) - [Korean-Inspired Philly Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimchi-philly-sandwich.md)
