Aww, come on.  It's not the fault of the adholes that came up with the piece of crap.  Probably, none of them are even old enough to remember the original Colonel or even that at one time, it was named Kentucky Fried Chicken.

I heard on the news that both Taco Bell and Pizza Hut are eliminating artificial ingredients from their products. They are part of the Yum Corporation, as is KFC. No word yet if KFC will eliminate artificial crap from its products which leads me to believe, one of those original 16 secret herbs and spices is probably msg or embalming fluid or something equally delicious.

As if the real Orville wasn't bad enough.
I don't think Redenbacher actually owned the company thta made the popcorn for most of the years that he was doing their ads. So, either they had permission from Redenbacher's estate/family to do that..in which case his family must be assholes who were hard up for money...or they didm't have permission, which makes whichever conglomerate that owns the company the assholes.

As for the 'new' Colonel, it's Derrell Hammond, from 'SNL'(known for doing Bill Clinton impressions after Hartman's death, AKA, 'Monica-era' Bill Clinton). Hammond also took over as 'SNL's announcer last year, after Don Pardo's death...and, more often than not, he was standing in for Pardo even before DP passed away, so 'playing a dead guy' is no stretch for Hammond.
At least these ads are an improvement on the 'animated Colonel' a few years ago, voiced by Randy Quaid(where is he now?)

I won't doubt the Orville Redenbacker company will have a replacement like they do with the Colonel!

Yes...that Darryl Hammond! Who will he voice next, Scrooge McDuck for the new Ducktales?

These are SO BAD! Anyone old enough to remember the real Colonel has to be insulted, and anyone too young to remember are probably saying "Who is this old fart?"

i want to see the irish thug overseer get his own fastfood chain restaurant........hmmm, what should we call it. LOL

Don't think they thought this analogy through.

Are they saying their chicken is as good as baseball is corruption-free?

Ask any lifeguard and she'll tell you nothing's creepier than a zombie fast food mascot looking up your seat and sticking his bird in your face.

Wow! This is so remarkably tasteless. Can't the corporation which runs KFC respect the man who founded that franchise? He died way back in the 1970's, so why can't they leave his memory back then.

Hers a funny thought.

I read somewhere that somebody in their youth mistaken the strings under the head illustration on the sign. As the body for the colonel. So you can picture this a big headed colonel with a little stick body!

If they want to show the Colonel, why not show this classic from 1969:

Agreed - using the late Colonel Sanders is a bit of an insult today. He's probably rolling in his grave as we speak.
Back after a long absence...still hating those commercials. Go away Limu Emu and Doug!

The real Colonel Sanders seemed like a down-to-earth nice guy. The faux Colonel seems like a preverted old creep - check out the laugh in one of the new commercials.

Great minds think alike.... I clicked on this thread to suggest that the KFC Ad execs should have just aired a commercial from the real Colonel Sanders circa late 60's/early 70's, as it would have been better than this creepy current impersonation, but you beat me to the punch.....
