Rathergood.com On Tv?!

Xyth

<div class="IPBDescription">Whoa waita minute!</div> <span style='color:gray'>I</span> was just watching TV and all of the sudden a quiznos add comes on and it's got the monkeys from rathergood.com (ones from the "we like the moon song") were singing! On TV! About quiznos subs! With the funky animated mouths and eyes, on TV! Needless to say my head almost exploded, anybody else seen this add?!

ZiGGY

BigMadSteve

I seen it ages ago on TV. Only this time it was for milk...

Vulgar_Menace

You beat me to the post, Xyth! I was so freaked out about that!

the rathergood music videos have often been played on either MTV or VH1, I forget which... fun stuff...

BigMadSteve

I've also seen a couple of stick deaths on Sky One. I remember a Die Hard one. Dead good <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

That_Annoying_Kid

yeah, I saw that rathergood quiznos thing and was all !!!


then I realized that who cares, and it's a good flash movie and my un-nerd friend was starting to question my sexuality because I was starting to talk about computer related stuff

NumbersNotFound

I doubt they actually payed the guy who invented stickdeath.com, they probably just stole the idea and made their own. On the other hand, Rob Manuel, and whoever the guy who does Weebl and Bob's name is WERE paid to make those ads.

Just goes to show how internet subcultures are starting to spread into real-life, and i'm not sure whether I should be glad about that or not.

I took this from the rathergood.com FAQ:

<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Did you make that thing I saw on TV?
Probably. I do broadcast animations as well as web stuff. Currently broadcasting is work for:

Rathergood Videos - Wednesday nights, Channel 4 UK

Quiznos Subs (US)

Switch/Maestro (UK)

VH1 (US)

I didn't know he did that Switch/Maestro one until i just got it out of the FAQ then ( i saw that he did the crusha one a while back, but it's been updated since). I thought it was a cheap rip-off, because i really think those adverts suck.

But seriously, is internet subculture creeping into everyday life a GOOD thin? How much time till we see a "Badgers Badgers Badgers" advert, or some poor variation on the words to the song? GOD HELP US ALL.
