So did I Millie - would have been quite a good chocolate advert in my opinion!

I like the "odd" things I think... grin

It's weird.

I thought it was an easter egg and a chocolate lake.

It is surreal and certainly does not inspire me to eat KFC. Ive never eaten it in the past and not inclined to now.

Thanks for the links I don’t get either of them but then I don’t eat KFC or meat in general

What makes you uneasy Sleepyhead? there is an undertone of violence and threat but not sure if that’s a threat to humans or chickens but either way it’s daft and if it’s a threat to humans it’s going against KFC and if it’s a r threat to chickens ifs also going against KFC and I reckon who ever made it had been on the whacky baccy all night
Mad as a March hare and he/she/they probably need some medication

I didn't see last years but the other we saw by chance yesterday. We liked it a lot because it was a bit surreal/magical realism. We thought it was about chocolate with the man at the end being dipped in a chocolate lake and transforming as if by magic into a nutty crunchy chocolate bar to go inside the massive egg!

It gave us a "yuck" moment when we realised it was a piece of chicken.
Totally off-putting when your brain is full of delicious nutty chocolate!

It's great as an advert though - I think I'll remember it. Maybe for the "yuck" factor!

I’ve seen it, didn’t ‘get’ it, but never buy KFC anyhow, so wasted on me.

This was the first part, last year.

Is it this one Sleepyhead52?

I haven't seen the advert so can't say .
I've never had anything from KFC either.

Not having seen or heard of it I tried to watch it last night and gave up out of boredom.
As a tv ad, it seems to have missed the mark as it certainly didn’t make me want to go out and buy their product.

Nor me Aldom I take little or no notice of adverts

Aldom Sat 22-Mar-25 06:42:51

Perhaps someone could tell me what it's about. Not seen the advert.

Sar53 Sat 22-Mar-25 06:37:52

Both of their ads are totally weird but they do get one's attention.
The whole point really I suppose.

BlueBelle Sat 22-Mar-25 06:20:30

Whats is it then ?

Catterygirl Sat 22-Mar-25 00:53:40

I find it stupid but gets my attention
even though I am not a great fan of KFC. Do eat it occasionally, very occasionally.

Sleepyhead52 Sat 22-Mar-25 00:19:44

I'm not the only one then!

Rula Sat 22-Mar-25 00:13:33

I think it's bonkers.

But it's certainly got people talking

Sleepyhead52 Fri 21-Mar-25 23:11:31

I just wonder what others think about the latest KFC advert. The undertones make me very uneasy but maybe I am seeing things that others don't or which aren't there ... I would love to hear what anyone else thinks
