Can anyone explain the KFC television advert to me?

[elephantoverthehill]

It’s weird, are KFC advocating that we dip people and eat them? And what’s with the giant egg and dropping it? Maybe they want this kind of reaction 😂

Fuck knows. Someone was on mushrooms when they dreamed that up.

Is he being baptised and then turning into some holy chicken? Like John the Baptist and Jesus?

Well I suppose they say that most ‘other meats’ taste like chicken.

I've just seen it. WTF?

Has everyone at the advertising agency gone stark raving bonkers?

I assumed it was something related to "what came first, the chicken or the egg" but couldn't figure out what!

That was a KFC advert?! It was on in the background with the volume turned down. I thought it was chocolate advert. That was gravy not chocolate?

I've just seen it again and I'm none the wiser. DH was handily available so I asked him for a male opinion. He didn't have a scooby either.

I kept thinking it was an advert for some luxury Easter egg

It’s utterly bonkers
we thought it was for Cadbury cream eggs

I just googled it.

What the fuck???

Teenager tells me “well it’s worked because you’re all talking about it”….

well, yeah, but it doesn’t exactly make me want to go out and buy KFC

Me and DH saw it yesterday. We sat there for ages trying to guess what it was advertising ...The sequence went
Guinness
A car
Chocolate
...kfc

And then we just went wtf??
Neither of us eats kfc, and that didn't make me want to try it!

I feel like it was made by AI. I didn’t get it either. I used to work in advertising and with most adverts I can usually see the process, audience etc but I am stumped. I must be getting old.

The first 'Believe In Chicken' ad was the one with loads of people doing a zombie style dance move. Then wasn't there a giant Chicken walking down a city street? Or was that Kelloggs? Not sure now. The latest one; I thought was an ad for a new sci-fi thing at the start, then an Easter egg ad. When the woman picked up the man like a suitcase I thought they were going to do that weird walk where the first person picks the second up, moves forward and drops the other to their feet. The second person then does the same so the 'walk' is sort of like a bike wheel. Yeah, that. So, 'Believe in Chicken... it's weirdly cool' kind of message.

I’ve think I may have worked it out. There will be a sequel. The bloke will wake up and realise how he will celebrate Easter with his family. The wife will get a gillet —hopefully not beige—. The children will get an enormous Easter egg on top of the tree stumps and they will sit on the stumps and eat KFC.

It's a heck of a big egg. I wouldn't want to come across whatever's going to hatch out of that thing.😂

I think it could be the MN chicken! Capable of feeding rather a lot of people.

It's taking the mick out of Christian baptism...these companies are mocking Christian people...I will never eat again from there ...disgusting to say the least ...boycott KFC!!!!!

'Soylent Green is people!'

I'm assuming this isn't the look they were going for. They seem to be going for a 'dystopian aesthetic' what with this and the chicken idol one. Sure, it gets people talking, but only to ask, 'WT absolute F'? It's not a great ad.

@Patmegharry63i completely agree! Also, they use halal meat so I’d boycotted them already…probably only went in desperation a couple of times a year though so I’m sure my custom won’t be missed.
Awful company.

That’s the second one in what is presumably a series.

The first one starts with a woman in a laundrette and ends with huge crowds around a rooster on a plinth. Lots of references to “is he actual real at all,” “what can we even believe in anymore” and newspapers headlines “WTF”

It ends with Believe In Chicken.

This is a bunch of the same people now in beige cult garb doing mock religious worship.

So basically the narrative is that in this world of AI and Fake News and Deep Fakes and all that, there’s nothing you can believe in. Except for KFC.

Is that gravy-dipped chap one of the 11 secret herbs and spices? No wonder we can't recreate the recipe at home. We need human flesh!

It’s hysterical! Love that advertising is returning to creativity again.
Apparently it’s called ‘All Hail Gravy’.
And yeah, I agree that some psychoactives may have been involved 😂

The gravy dipped man, is just nasty. 🤢
Completely off putting.
I know the concept of reverse advertising, but with a foodstuff, it’s risky.
I will avoid for a long while.

Great diet technique, thinking of that, each time I consider a take away.

In all my many decades on this good green Earth, I have never dunked anything resembling a chicken goujon into gravy. Garlic mayo yes, ketchup yes, sweet chilli sauce yes, but runny brown meaty gravy? Yuk.

Philistines.
