The new KFC Colonel

[minniecarousel]

Does anyone else think the new Colonel is creepy? I mean Burger King king spooky? His laugh is nasty.

Creepy? Maybe. I suppose he's a little... "I peek in your bathroom window-y." I just think it's making a mockery of their icon and it seems wrong and misguided. On a side note, I just googled it and, apparently, I'm not the only one who doesn't care for it.

Usually I like Darrell Hammond, but that is just distasteful and full of creepy.

 

[Katlyn]

His Bill Clinton voice is coming through, and he does Clinton in a creepy voice too.

 

[meowser]

Yes!

 

[minniecarousel]

That's Darrell Hammond?! I never guessed that! I guess he can't find any decent work.

 

[Kimberlyann11]

I Love that guy!

 

[Ambear]

Ugh totally agree with him being creepy. I can't stand those commercials and they're all over hulu. At first I couldn't tell if they were trying to make the colonel look stupid... Now it's pretty clear though. I don't understand why that's good for the brand. It's like if Wendy suddenly acted emo or something.

 

[usnuzuloose]

I did not like it.

 

[Imzadi]

Maybe it's the same advertising company who hired the creepy Trivago guy.

 

[Earstou]

I saw the commercial for the first time tonight and thought the same thing!

 

[tennvalgirl]

I know I'm in the minority based on the YouTube comments I saw, but I love these commercials and I LOL'd.
I also love Darryl Hammond

 

[MIGrandma]

I think the commercials are disrespectful of the real Colonel Sanders. I don't get why the company wanted to do it.

 

[baldy6060]

First time I saw it I thought it was a Popeye's commercial or some other rival poking fun at KFC. There are some marketing folks who need to be fired. Then again, we are talking about it. Maybe that's all they want.

 

[Buzz-Light-Beer]

I saw the commercial for the first time last evening and I also thought he was a bit on the creepy side.

 

[lorimay]

We saw it last night too and I asked my husband why are the messing with the iconic Colonel.
Had no idea it was Darrel Hammond.
He's right up there with the Hamburglar. CREEPY

 

[FlightlessDuck]

Yep. It's just weird. I don't even understand. Is it supposed to be funny and/or weird?

Didn't know it was Darrell Hammond until somebody mentioned it. But then again, I haven't watched SNL since Phil Hartman was murdered.

 

[Dizlvr]

Is it the way he's acting that is creepy? I've only seen parts on youtube and I don't think he looks any creepier than the actual Colonel Sanders did.

 

[Kitty 34]

Yes, I thought he was rather creepy .

I thought it ironic how I had to wait to skip a commercial to watch a commercial on Youtube!!

Yes.

I get a heavy "Funny Uncle" vibe from him.
Gross.
