It starts off with some weird chanting and people all dressed in some brown martial arts gear. I presume it's referencing some film or computer game or something. They then grab a large golden egg that they drop and woman and man come out of the bottom of it. He then turns into a mannequin and she picks him up and carries him into what looks like a chocolate sea. She brings him back out and he has turned into a massive piece of fried chicken. Utterly weird but the hypnotic chanting behind it is awful too. |  |

It doesn't get better Mon-Fri afternoons. Charity adverts Donkeys, Cancer research, Water aid Reclining Chairs to make life comfortable in your remaining years. Life Insurance to leave something for your loved ones when you die. Funeral Plans for when you die. Bingo apps ('cos that's not gambling?). |  |

Very weird and disturbing, but it hooked me. I'm sure it will get taken off air as soon as the first idiot child tries to deep fry his mate to get that big chicken nugget |  | |  |
Does anyone else find the KFC ad weird/disturbing, etc? on 18:31 - Mar 22 with 3422 views | The_Flashing_Smile | I think the idea is that people who enjoy KFC have a kind of cult-ish devotion to it. I like it, because it's different. As someone else said, it's worked because it's caused a free thread on a football messageboard. There will be similar discussions all over the internet (and IRL). Feck knows how the creative team got the client to sign off on something so bonkers, most clients play it safe (which is why most advertising is bland, boring and unoriginal). |  |

Is placing their paper bags, boxes and buckets in random places by the side of country roads part of these tactics? |  | |  |

If I ever find out you were behind the Pepto Bismol or Tombola ads then this bromance will be over. |  |

That's a toughie. You really have to have your wits around you deciding when to stick or twist. |  |

St Augustine’s roundabout is the elite KFC in Ipswich, everyone knows that. |  |

I think once you hit 35 you know polo 24 is the best place to grab the train grub |  |

The Hamilton Road one in Felixstowe is the best. |  |

I lived on Broke Hall Estate and that was there in the 70s before I left Ipswich in 1978. It was where I first came across KFC. |  | |  |

Favorite Chicken & Ribs was the place to go to but it closed (twice) There is still one in Felixstowe. The St Augustines KFC is the best one in Ipswich but they have an uncanny habit of missing bits off the order and have done for 20 years. Back in the day (1980's) the franchise owner looked the spit of Colonel Saunders. |  |

Presumably its job is to get you to buy their products, not hate them. Part of the fallacy of any publicity is good publicity that marketers and political grifters cling to to justify their existence. |  | |  |
