The Spongmonkeys are an Internet phenomenon, created by Joel Veitch, that has crossed over into television in the form of Quiznos commercials. They appear to be a pair of graphically edited tarsiers with human mouths, and appear on the web at the rathergood.com website. These creatures float in the air in front of a hydrangea bush while singing a song called “We Like Tha Moon”. One of the Spongmonkeys plays a guitar, while the other sings.
In early 2004 the Spongmonkeys began appearing in television advertisements for Quizno’s Subs singing an altered version of their song called “We Love the Subs.” One commercial featured the oft-imitated line “they got a pepper bar,” referring to the self-serve assortments of peppers that are a Quizno’s selling point. The comments on the commercials were mixed, and a few months later the commercials stopped airing.
