Adorkable Alert!: "Scott", Quiznos' hunk of burning love

Above you can see the latest commercial from Quiznos, which started airing a few days ago, and has already earned a nomination into the WTF! hall of fame.

In the ad a Quiznos oven (in an obvious take-off on Hal the computer from 2001: A Space Odyssey) is having a conversation with an employee named Scott that quickly becomes ... highly inappropriate (starting with the line "Not doing that again, got burned!").

When the oven commands, "put it in me, Scott" followed by a startled, confused look on poor Scott's face, this becomes an instant classic along the lines of those Brawny birthday ads from a few years ago.

Tim Rock

After a little digging, I found out the actor who plays Scott is named Tim Rock. Unfortunately he only has a few minor credits, but hopefully this commercial will bring him bigger and better things. It takes a special actor to make the line "only four dollars" so ... sexy.

and I adore it.

How they slipped that one past the goalie I'll never know. Keep an eye peeled cause it's likely to be unceremoniously yanked off the air any moment now.

Check out the way he looks down when he says he got burned last time. Suggestive...

And they COULD'VE used a woman's voice, but didn't

There was clearly some subtext going on, especially with the demanding male voice, the talk about "burns," the reference to "over a foot long," etc. Fascinating. (Yet another reason to avoid Subway, besides the fact that they screwed me on their frequent diner card promotion.)
