Is the Latest KFC Advert Offensive?

I laughed at it when I saw it and thought it was a rip off from the hunger games.
I’ve tried KFC as I’m sure a lot of people have but I’m a home cook rather than a takeaway person so it’s not for me.

If the add was called "Believe" - which I failed to notice... maybe my cult/mystical journey isn't off the mark!

And yes, a reason to object maybe at Easter time. Is this what you were thinking Sleepyhead52?

Magic mushrooms not KFC come to my mind 🤣🤣🤣

I think it would have made more sense if the people were chickens and they all ganged together fought their way out of tiny cages and drowned the humans in a bubbling pond of fat

I'm another one who thought it was a big Easter Egg... Well it's bonkers! I don't get the connection but it's a talking point so perhaps that's the point?

A group of people dip a man into a lake of gravy and he comes out a KFC chicken leg. I don't like it and I wouldn't buy KFC but the gc do. I only buy organic or go veggie.

It can’t be a lake of gravy though Allsorts the man comes out crispy so it must be a lake if boiling fat

I've only just seen the advert.
I can't make sense of it. At first I thought it was an advert for an Easter egg. The final scene where the man is submerged in oil or whatever, feels very disturbing. I really do not like this advert. Never eaten KFC and this is off putting in the extreme.

It has turned me off trying KFC.

Well I'm a KFC fan but this ad wouldn't encourage me to buy it. If the lake is supposed to be gravy - who puts gravy on KFC? Is it a generational thing that I've missed?

Well the man comes out all crispy so can’t be gravy but why a man!!! I don’t get it at all and the egg in the background looks as if it’s jumping up and down
I think whoever made this was as high as a kite

It really turns me off KFC. It’s ridiculous and pulling a body out of a muddy river coated in breadcrumbs is hardly likely to encourage an appetite for the product.

HowVeryDareYou2, I completely agree.

I don’t find it offensive, but very, very weird. What has it to do with KFC ? I can’t think

Who actually eats KFC? I don’t think my daughter or her friends (in their 20s,) have ever had one. When I think about the welfare of chickens, this ad makes me very angry. And yes, I found it offensive. And pathetic.

i like the believe in chicken part 1, love the music, the second one is believe part 2, all hail the gravy....bit weird.

Quite disturbing, human sacrifice (?) but wasted on KFC which i wouldn't touch with a bargepole.

It’s very very stupid and more likely to make me run a mile rather than eat a KFC drumstick!
Out of interest (to me, but maybe boring to everybody else) I first encountered KFC on a School Exchange between Scottish schools and Louisville, Kentucky in 1965.
Col Sanders sponsored the lunch boxes for our coach travel (Greyhound of course!) down to Kentucky !
A novel experience in so many ways- including my first experience of shopping malls, diners, country clubs , charming Southern manners and the linguistic differences!

Creepiest thing ever. Certainly wouldn’t encourage me to eat the stuff, not that I would anyway, even if I could have figured out what it was advertising! Got me wondering how much the advert cost
to make,which must have been passed on to the consumers!
