The Awesome/Annoying TV COMMERCIAL Thread

I'm telling you guys: the new Colonel Sanders is a George W. Bush homage. The next time you see one of those commercials, imagine W. doing the Colonel's parts. Throw in a few Jon Stewart "heh heh heh"s in there for good measure. It totally fits.

COL Sanders:  I'm back, America.

Me.: Isn't he supposed to be dead?

My Girlfriend:  Yeah.

Me. So..  Zombie.. Robot.. Clone..

 

I like how your first reaction is asking that question and not "What kind of financial turmoil is Darrell Hammond in to do this?". You're a kind individual.

I can't abide by this--bringing back a 'genteel' southerner type that invokes images of him drinking lemonade on his vernada while his 'employees' toil in the fields for chicken livers.  Nope.  Can't do it.  Won't do it.

 

I am torn.  I hate social injustice and slavery but I love tasty chicken livers.

It's all about delicately fried gizzards smothered in hot sauce.

Well I know what unhealthy thing I will be eating for lunch today.

Granted, it was back in 2003, but my homecoming committe paid Hammond close to $30,000 to play our college homecoming week.

Popeye's is better that bland-ass KFC 10 times out of 10

 

 

You have to remember that, to avoid paying royalties to the creators of Popeye the Sailor Man, Popeye's Chicken & Waffles claims that they were named after the Gene Hackman character from The French Connection.

 

So, fried chicken made by a racist plantation owner, or fried chicken made by a racist New York cop who guns down innocent FBI agents by accident. Your choice.

If loving 11 Cajun herbs and spices is wrong, I don't want to be right.

 

Holy shit, I thought Bojangle's had gone out of business and was absorbed into Popeyes.  Apparently:

 

1) I'm wrong about that

2) There's a Boojangle's right up the street form my job

 

What a beautiful day this is turning out to be.

Is my memory off or didn't King Features actually license their characters to Popeye's for awhile in the 70s-80s?

Thank you for the new sig.  ;)

I LOVE me so KFC, I just hate the new commercials. Then again I think ALL of the Popeyes commericals are annoying too. Then again in SLC where I grew up, all we had was KFC, so I might be biased. I drove by the original KFC so many times I couldn't possibly count, then they had to tear it down(hell probably 20 years ago now). . .

Add Tylenol to the "trolling the rubes" list.

I'm beginning to wonder which "wholesome" company doing LGBT-friendly ads (Expedia, General Mills, Allstate, Coca Cola, etc etc etc) will finally convince the mouth-breathers that they're on the wrong side of history.

People should take more offense to that inane hashtag than dudes getting married. So sick of commericals trying to use them, especially if a person actually says hashtag whatever in them.

Has there been a movie title that has a # at the beginning yet? 

 

It's really consistent how some stupid phrase  shows up as a movie title roughly four years after it got too annoying for any human to use it unironically.  I just was flipping through my channel guide, for instance, and saw "That awkward moment when" (2014)...

 

starring?... 

 

Zac Ephron.

Man KFC back in the 80's was the best shit ever...I guess they started to fall off in the 90's when people started to expect fried chicken to be healthy or something...

 

On a different note, is there anyone else who's really grown to hate Liberty Mutual commercials? You know, the ones where people stand there with the Statue of Liberty in the background while they prattle on...like the girl who thinks its unfair for your insurance company to penalize you for causing an accident, or the guy who doesn't understand the concept of depreciation, or especially the "you loved Brad" girl...

This one's been irritating me of late.

 

 

Could they have found a whinier, more effete singer?  This guy makes Morrissey sound like Howlin' Wolf.

This one must be BANNED for my sanity. . . .
