Does anybody else think that Colonel Harland Sanders would be rolling over in his grave if he saw the "new" Colonel Sanders in the KFC commercials? I think he is disturbing.

Yes, if possible more creepy than the disturbing Burger King guy. I have not seen the new McDonald's hamburgler but he is also described as creepy.

Worked for KFC for many yrs. Met and worked with the Colonel many times. This is the worst any one could do to the memory of a great man. May he rest in peace.
I used to love it when I was a teenager. Had some "original" recipe not long ago and it had a weird wang to it.
Didn't like it.
He looks like Chris Hansen should be asking him to take a seat.
when i used to fish alot i was always happy to see the colonel on the side of a bucket when going off shore

The new KFC commercials make me laugh everytime. Doesn't make me want to eat there, but they are entertaining.
LOL. I have also partaken in my share of the Colonel's Goodness on the way to the Middle Grounds.
Somehow, I don't think the ad campaign for this target market would be successful.

Management at YUM! Brands is suspect, even though the stock is at an all time high. The new Col Sanders is bad but Pizza Hut promoting a hot dog pizza is even worse. Yuck and double yuck.
Only one glad to see a hot dog pizza is Papa Johns.

I miss the "old" original recipe chicken. They went and ruined it by making it healthy. Not near as good. Sigh.

The new one is annoying.
Sounds like Dana Carvey doing the first President Bush.

He looks like a child molester in an ice cream suit...like John Wayne Gacy with white hair and chin whiskers.
And ever been behind the counter in a KFC place? Whew. Ever wonder why that drumstick you just ate tasted like industrial floor cleaner? Ever wonder why your "chicken" is really extra crispy? Hint: It isn't because it was cooked that way. If you eat "Kentucky Fried" Chicken, you have my sympathies.

WHAAAAAAAT?
Burger King was creepy but really funny.
But I agree that New Colonel Sanders is bad.
He totally looks like a creeper and laughs like one also.
A geriatric porn star wannabe.
Around here (dunno about elsewhere) the KFC corporate stores have all been taken over by Popeye's, which is a little better, but not much. Only the franchisees still bear the KFC logo.
Best chicken chain around is Pollo Campero. Chicken comes either fried or grilled, and it is tasty, plus they have a range of good, hot salsas. There is only one store in the area (right next to a KFC that is circling the drain), but I gather it is nationwide.

For my money Darrell Hammond should stick to his Bill Clinton impersonation that he did on SNL. But I guess he's like everyone else and likes a paycheck.
He is definitely creepy. Expect to see him in the next Deliverance movie....

You are giving them the benefit of a doubt by referring to their products as "food".
The original Ronald McD is a about as creepy as it gets. That new Colonel is almost as creepy as their gravy. But I have the hots for the Wendy's girl.

Before the "Colonel", Harlan Sanders and his wife, owned and ran a restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky. He had a fairly unique way for preparing "fried" chicken, cooking it in a pressure cooker. When I-75 went through the area, he lost a lot of business, and he turned to selling his chicken recipe and cooking technique. He was fairly successful locally.
He happened to call on a small BBQ restaurant, "The Porky Pig House", in Louisville. It was owned and operated by John Y. Brown, Jr., and his wife Ellie. John Y. Brown, Jr., the son of a Kentucky politician, worked his way through the University of Kentucky by being the top Encyclopaedia Britannica salesman in the U.S. He recognized that Harlan Sanders had a winner with the "fried" chicken. He bought the franchise rights and kept Harlan Sanders as the spokesman. The rest, they say, is history.
Harlan Sanders was curmudgeonly, to be polite. I had the opportunity to work with him when I was a Junior Achievement adviser during the 1970's. While he didn't have the most charming of personalities, he put his money into Junior Achievement. Around the kids he was great, but I'd never go toe-to-toe with him if he was a business rival.
This re-creation isn't even a "reasonable facsimile" of the original.
