The Spongmonkeys are an , 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 . The comments on the commercials were mixed, but a few months later the commercials stopped airing after much protest by disgusted viewers.
The Spongmonkeys Quiznos commercial was a topic on an episode of VH1 s Best Week Ever . The Modern Humorist said that they are what you see before you die.
Like many Internet cult phenomena (such as Badger Badger Badger) it was first launched in the B3ta newsletter in January 2003, although the first appearance on the site dates back to a post from a member called Nacho in June 2002.
