I’m uncertain as to whether or not a commercial exists. If they made one for The Powerpuff Girls, I don’t see why they wouldn’t make one for Time Squad. But, it seems odd that no one has any recollection of seeing it.
It sort of reminds me of how a commercial for some Megas XLR and Powerpuff Girls Jollibee toys was lost for YEARS until someone uploaded it on YouTube a few months back.
I can only imagine that if it did exist, Subway would have mentioned it somewhere on their old website. I don’t know for sure, because searching for commercials is new territory for me. But I would start with checking the wayback machine.
So in that message board post there is a link to Subway kids and even a date provided to when the Time Squad toys came out, I used the wayback machine and unfortunately only an error message shows when I tried to look. I dunno if it's the date or what, that's actually never happened to me before.
So remember when Cartoon Network had a partnership with Subway and they released a line of Time Squad toys? The toys are rare now. The commercial is REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY RARE and there are no recordings of it.
I think it’s hard to find this commercial because of time squads cancellation and the whole huba with George w bush in one episode Just a theory I was thinking that might have been the case

I think it just doesn’t exist. I will gladly admit that I am wrong, but I do not remember seeing any of Subway’s promotions being advertised other than Powerpuff Girls. I watched Cartoon Network religiously in the early 2000s I was unaware of most of these toys until later on.

I'm pretty sure I saw the commercial...or rather I saw some kind of commercial for the toys? The second I saw this thread title this image of this poorly animated, kind of choppy, "clearly we reused animation from the show and cheaply" style commercials popped into my head.
The best chance of finding the commercial, if it does exist, is to probably find a VHS with commercials from that time or possibly commercial complimations. The Powerpuff Girls one is easy to find: youtu.be/P6SlkF5HIDI
Actually I wonder if we should just ask the person who posted this commercial, if they ever saw the others. I do think it's odd that someone mentioned the Time Squad toys in that old message board, but not the commercial. Edit: that person hasn't been active on youtube in forever so nevermind about asking them.
Found the article for the Sheep in the Big City promo and evidently there was an interactive game for SITBC on subway's website....if they made a game, surely they would make a commercial??
I'd argue yes, but in the same vein, it's actually hard to find Subway Kids Pak commercials in general. I could only find one with a young Hilary Duff, and then of course the Powerpuff Girls. A lot of these commercials if they were made, are probably actually lost.
So honestly yeah, we can't definitively say it doesn't exist or not. In all likelihood, it would be kinda weird if they made a Time Squad commercial, but these were snap together toys and a commercial to explain that premise makes sense. Also the fact they made a Sheep in the Big City interactive game for their website kinda tells me that there had to be some form of advertising for the Cartoon Network promo in general. Kinda weird they'd dump money on that and then just expect kids to find that? I guess there could have been a link on the bag like how cereal boxes used to do that.
You can also see Subway Kids as one of the sponsors on a Kids WB contest, so I just think it's incredibly strange they did little to no advertising for the properties they acquired over the years.
because if this show being so hard to find now, im pretty sure its in Subway's or Cartoon Network's valut. it may have never existed to began with..
Honestly, I was thinking about making a separate thread to cover all of Subway kids pak possible commercials, because they had a lot of random brand tie ins. Especially now that I have confirmation they made an interactive game out of a Cartoon Network property, that's legit lost media. The more I researched Subway Kids Pak the more interesting it is, like they also made Mucha Lucha toys??? I dunno, I just find it incredibly bizarre that there wouldn't be commercials for any of these promos. I should look more into it🤔

I couldn't find the ad on daily motion... i believe it does not exist at all..
not sure if helpful but I found this site :https://www.ispot.tv/brands/A6N/subway. I didn't click anything so beware, I don't know anything else about the site.
i got sent back a message from Cartoon Network and they said "Unfortunately, this information was not available for us to retrieve. Sorry!" so its existence is unconfirmed at this point. Im still holding on to hope one day, it maybe be found.
