The new commercials being aired by KFC are just plain creepy.
Former SNL funny-man Darrell Hammond has been hired by the corporation formerly known as Kentucky Fried Chicken to portray the company’s long-deceased patriarch, Colonel Harlan Sanders, in television commercials.
In the ads, the faux-Sanders pitches poulet with the demeanor of an old man being run off school grounds for offering to show children the eleven herbs and spices he has hidden under his trench coat.
The idea to depict Colonel Sanders as everyone’s peculiar uncle that no one invites to family gatherings anymore is simply baffling.
