  • Fyi, all "KFC" packaging now says "KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN" once again, finally, after more than a decade of being afraid of the word "fried" (at least on one side of the buckets and boxes in the USA). This is in the USA, I don't know about elsewhere. Interestingly it is actually pressure cooked, and has never been fried in fryers or pans. Back in the old days before "fried" was a bad word for a while, the Colonel called it that as the closet description.

  • Silly Canadians, always running in circles... :)

  • i love grandpa colonel sanders^^

  • theres only white people in that commercial, but todays KFC commercials only have black people in them

  • @TheKaylacook

    Yeah! Talk about integrating but only bringing back a stereotype [revisited in the retro-hit film "The Help".] Well, regardless of your race, fried chicken is one of the best inventions EVAH!!!

  • 'his boys' sounds mighty gay.

  • he had to get airlifted by special helicopter just to make this video

  • Peter: Is the colonel in?

    Kentucky hick: He dead

    Peter: Is Mr.Sanders here?

    Kentucky hick: What wrong wit you I say you he dead

  • After first view this was an old ad I remembered. Then after reading some comments and second view, people marching around a giant barrel of chicken in a field with the Harland and the boys on top???? WTF! And people got PAID for this ad!!!

  • lol over 400 stores in canada lol

  • Recently ate at Kentucky's for the first time since the 1990's...Seems either some of the 11 herbs and spices have been eliminated or the fact that trans fats have been eliminated or both but it sucked.

    However the Doubledown is pretty tasty..

  • Notice how there are no fat people marching in this parade? (thumps up!) lol 1971 lets do the exact commerical again in canada/america today 2011 Ummmm notice anything? lol

  • Is it kinda corny if I wish they would show these old commercials instead of the crappy commercials we have now?

  • aaaah the 70's I remember going out at 4:00 going to the town square and being in a marching band circling a giant KFC bucket

    The good old days...

  • When Sanders died, so did his delicious chicken.

  • The kid at :20 is still seeing a therapist over his mom dressing him in those pants.

  • :55 - Circle fail. :)

  • kfc...watered down mashed potatoes,watered down coleslaw,tasteless biscuits with zero buttermilk and probably no milk either and the chicken's almost always greasy.

  • kfc has gone down hill. the pieces look smaller,dirty dining room and incompetent help. a shame.

  • Today they're like walking into a third world country.

  • They just walking around in circles. :D

  • This is hokey on so many levels; have to laugh at the serious faces on those marchers, and the guys waving at the end. Col. Sanders seems to have forgotten he is supposed to be waving, too, until he glances at the guy next to him and then gets with the program, haha!

  • Every round makes you fatter in geometrical progression.

  • back when white people worked at KFC :))

  • @PapagenoJuan2  lol

  • im pretty sure in 1971 you didnt put black people in your commercial unless your selling malt liquor

  • Being From Canada and born in 1986, i watch these old commercials and realize Col. Saunders seemed like he was a hell of a good person.

  • costs for the gigantic kfc-container: 50$

    costs fot the whole commercial: 150$

    seeing these idiots running round`n round again - priceless =D

  • How can you have CANADIAN Kentucky Fried Chicken?  There is no Kentucky in Canada.

  • Sanders and his "boys" can eat shit!

  • why are there no black people in this video?

  • "Get a little closer to the edge, Col. Saunders... A little closer... closer... closer..." "YAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaa!!!!"

  • The long-haired hippy girl... I'm in love. Send me back to 1971. :-(

  • @zzz007zzz Think of all the long haired hippy chicks Hugh Hefner got back in 1971.He was one lucky guy and he was the same generation as what the hippies called the establishment generation.Same with Timothy Leary the guy that made LSD popular he was born in 1925.Hef was born in 1926

  • People marching around a giant bucket in the middle of a pasture. Makes no sense.

  • buckethead is correct , KFC are evil colonial pricks.

  • The nice long hair went away because females in america became men.

  • WTF? Ppl walking in circles around an oversized display of the product.. I think it can be reasonably assumed that ANYONE COULD THINK OF THAT..  If they paid that ad agency more than $5 for that idea, they got ripped off..

  • Ugh, I hate having family history of heart disease and diabetes. Fried chicken is not allowed in our house.

    Also not allowed in our house: mac&cheese, potato chips, anything fried and bacon.

  • "This in not the scale of course."

  • Wow, that's a big bucket of chicken.

  • In my local news there was a story about a guy that walked into a fried chicken resturant and stole someones chicken dinner at gunpoint. No one was hurt and he didnt take any money.I could imagine Col Sanders chasing after him and getting shot at.Course he could deflect the bullets with his cane.All I can say is THAT THE ROBBER MUST HAVE BEEN HUNGRY

  • They were going to call it "Saskatchewan Prairie Fried Chicken" and put a maple leaf on the tub in Canada, but the powers that be changed their minds...

  • This reminds Me Of a vid i saw where North Korean army Marched around Kim il sung's portrait. Kinda scary...

  • I love colonel sanders Kfc!

    it's really finger licking Good! 

  • This people don´t get dizzy? Is all what they´re doing in this commercial

  • I had some KFC for the first time in ages. It wasn't at all like I remembered. I know they took out MSG (which was one of the secret ingredients), but the oil it's cooked in is different now too. I miss the old KFC

  • "I'm too drunk...to taste this chicken."

  • They spent some damm $ on that bucket didn't they. Fill that bucket up with Southern fried chicken and make it snappy. LMAO

  • " N " Lickin' Good

  • Some KFC restaurants are really crap! The drive through at some restaurants in the UK are not worth your time. Also why are the managers in the KFC restaurants 25 stone fat pig ugly young girls? I think the staff from KFC must eat more of that shit than they sell.

  • @AtomicFrog1 Popeye's is even worse - I think you HAVE to be fat, or ghetto, or both, to work there...

  • Women with the long hippy-chick hair were so sexy back then.One of the cool things i liked about the early 1970's.Then women had the long feathered hair look (Farrah hair) in the late 1970's.Sexy as well.

  • @MrJacMac1986 yup. and then there were the sexy hairdoes of the 80s. and the chicks in the 90s were particularly sexy. and then I celebrated my 60th bithday. and the chicks in the 00s did nothing for me. ;D

  • @MrJacMac1986 Today it's fugly tattoos.

  • @cochranexyz yeah i agree.Its like these otherwise sexy women have all these tattoos that look like gang graffiti on abandoned bldgs.

  • @MrJacMac1986 and into the 80s

  • @MrJacMac1986 They also had extremely hairy vaginas.

  • @MrGhostblood at least in the early 80's there was a compromise.they had a moderate amount of pubic hair but there pussies werent bald like they are now.But i still liked the hippy chicks of the 70's

  • Finger-lickin' good huh? A few years back two men and one woman were fired from a very busy KFC franchise for among other things...get this, jerking-off in the batter.

  • @TSM8088 That's just one location.

  • Holy cow!! I remember this one, I was 7yo at the time but it stuck with me. Thanks for posting

  • Also, the teensageer at 0:35 (with the watch on) is my brother and I knew at least half of the cast there.

    The Colonel was quite a character.

  • I never leave the house without my bucket. You can put all kinds of cool things in there.

  • @chairmanofthebored1 Mine is fully of wishes.... that I stole from children... bwahahaha.

  • In Canada you guys have a MUCH different market structure than here. It is a well known fact that YUM Brands has totally trashed the kentucky Fried Chicken name that Harland Sanders built. I met the man personally years ago,,and he has been in this building where I am typing this now in Shelby County Ky. Don't shoot the messenger guy,,you need to come across the border and see what United States fast food value gets you.Try it sometime instead of shooting me in the head !!!

  • @singlejeff69 In Ontario, KFC is not what it used to be, but in Saskatchewan, the chicken pieces are huge and very tasty. like it used to be when I was young.

  • @t78a I THOUGHT the pieces were smaller. (They apparently grow smaller chicken, but customers have the priveledge of paying more for them.)

  • Where is that giant bucket now? Did the Colonel really come to Canada to shoot that commercial, or was it done in the States? Oh, yeah, "KFC" is really lame.

  • No black people? Fake.

  • @FractalBolt - It's supposed to be Canada in the 70's, Dumbass. There were only blacks in Nova Scotia at that time.

  • I worked at our local Kentucky Fried Chicken when I was a teen. They made us watch a tape of the real history of Harland David Sanders, better known as Colonel Sanders. things were dif from now. The food still ok but just not the same. Thanks for bringing back great memories ;->

  • Imagine what goes on in the minds of these extras when they're asked to march around a giant bucket. "Oh, oh yeah. Yeah, okay. Very artistic. March around the giant bucket with a bucket in my hands. Great."

  • Thier corporate headquarters is in Louisville on Gardiner Lane.HUGE place.This is where thier "test" sandwiches and such are developed,tested by employees,,and eventually sent to you all over the world.Employees there can eat virtually free,just fill out a questionaire.Yum brands have thier hands in so much crap they will never get KFC back to the way we remember them.Bear in mind,it cost NEARLY one million to update a store,or 2.5 million to new build.And the portions keep getting smaller.

  • Yes,,"Yum" brands have people in the area to test thier "product",,as they call it.Problem is,,,if this is what they have been conditioned to believe is normal and "ok",,then there is no problem,right? Thing is,most of thier "support" people are BARELY out of diapers,and have ZERO idea what the "product" is REALLY supposed to be due to corporate lame conditioning.The majority probably don't even know that Harlan Sanders was real.The bare minumum for the most money the public will tolerate.

  • @singlejeff69 - Actually in Canada we have Toonie Tuesdays.  You can get two pieces of chicken and fries for under $3. Drinks are $1. I hardly call that bare minimum for most money.

  • Harlan Sanders would be rolling in his grave if he knew how bad this crap from "YUM" brand is today.Even the KFC stores back then had style,,not so today.I ate at 2 KFC's in Louisville,,both were the same,,,,small portions,very very bland. But I have to say the locations were clean,,LOL.I am about 3 miles from his old estate in Kentucky,,in Shelbyville,,,,very nice well kept historical place. Visit it by all means if you are near or in Louisville sometime.The family that run it are tops!!!

  • @singlejeff69 I hear ya...what the heck happenned to KFC..the portions use to be so large now their nothing but small tasteless greasy boney chicken pieces.  I live in Canada and always thought KFC especially in Kentucky was alot better. I guess they took a slide too. I went to Corben once and visited the original ..that was good chicken..anyway the execs at KFC better wake up..Popeyes portions remind me of what KFC was like.. Dont KFC have field reps to test this crap?

  • @fuhrman66 - I agree. Popeye's is much better. The portions are bigger, the meat is tastier, the coating is crispier, and it's more hot. Plus you can get just about anything KFC does, plus more, like mashed potatoes with gravy.

  • @singlejeff69

    Let alone what they do to their chickens!

  • @singlejeff69 I live in Shelbyville, and the closest thing you can find to the real KFC is Claudia Sander's restraunt.

  • @singlejeff69 You are a victim of excessive "nostalgia"...what did you expect the KFC restaurants in 2011 to look like they did in 1971?...does the US military look like it did in 1971?..do TV shows look like they did in 1971?

    Things change dude!...but the 11 herbs and spices have never changed at KFC. I still prefer original recipe to grilled or crispy recipe.

    It's great to be nostalgic and all but I hope you are not still driving around in a 1971 AMC Gremlin.

  • @singlejeff69 Yes!!! that is exactly how bad it is here in southern california.

    Their chicken use to be fantastic!! It drips of grease that completely drains the taste. You can NO longer taste 11 herbs and spices any longer.

  • I was the little boy in this commercial

  • @khunopie - What was the shoot like? Where was it? Anything outstanding from the day?

  • @BayviewFinch I got to meet the Colonel ... that was cool. They gave me so much free chicken that i got a tummy ache and shit my pants.... not so cool

  • Kentucky Fried Shithole

  • @theRDRman Kentucky Fried Fuckhole

  • @journeylive lol

  • Comment removed

  • Fun Commercial

  • STUPID CANADIANS.

  • never seen so many WHITE PEOPLE with buckets of chicken.....

  • @Tempo2010 Too funny!!! Good one!

  • There was nothing quite like the heavenly aroma of Colonel Sander's chicken. And the TASTE was out of this world. Then the SHIT FOR BRAINS, CANDY ASSED, BUSY BODIED LIBERALS, had to fuck it up. No it's just plain ol' chicken. What a helluva shame!

  • I no like this very very racist commercial maybe it be nice to live in world with only white people but this no reality we cannot live in fantasy no more. And the handycap too where are the wheelchairs and retarded people too, they have no voice here, very sad to see.

  • CANADA!! "Canucky Fried Chicken"

  • @Lex5576 Now that's just about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Everybody knows those dumb kanucks eat beaver.

  • Hey, its not like they have picture of a nice plump chicken on the box !! Instead we a picture of a gray haired old man, what the F**k is that all about !

  • Stop The Global Slavery and Slaughter of Animals.

    FUCK YOU KFC

  • @thehillbillymoon Now YOU sound like a SHIT FOR BRAINS, CANDY ASSED, BUSY BODIED LIBERAL !!!!

  • @71259mark

    I actually lean right.

    Stop the Global Slavery of Animals!!

  • @thehillbillymoon You may lean to the right, but both feet are squarely on the left.

    If God hadn't wanted for us to eat chicken and beef, he wouldn't have made tham taste so damn good! Now I don't know about you, but I am not about to go against God's will.

  • @thehillbillymoon

    You are awesome.

  • it was suppose to be unhealthy, it was "fast food" we didn't live off it like people today... going out and having fast food was a "treat" not a way of life, so sadly, as people began to see it as every day food, they got upset at how unhealthy it was.... I want my fries cooked in lard, I want grease, and I want unhealthy food.... 

  • Looks like *possibly* the great Karen Black @ 0:29-0:30 ???

    She certainly had that classic 60s-70s long, straight-hair "look", and, considering the salaries of actors back then compared to now, would not have been shocking to see a then-somewhat-established face as a featured extra in a commercial. Wish I had her e-mail addy so I could ask her...but she'd prob. deny it anyway...who'd want to admit to marching around a giant KFC bucket (while holding an empty one) to bad music ? LOL

  • @Sharky165 no way dude, get your eyes checked....that chick doesn't even look remotely like her.

  • @tvgator1 Well, "dude", my eyes are quite fine, TYVM...not blind yet anyway !! I still say there is a LIL similarity in the overall look. That said, upon further research on KB and comparing the KFC girl to KB's vids here on Youtube, I agree that it's def. not KB. KB's face is a bit smaller & rounder, she has prettier eyes and a less-pronouced jawline. Plus, she was already Oscar-nominated by then and getting a lot of film work, so it's highly unlikely she'd "need" to do TV ads.

  • Looks like *possibly* the great Karen Black @ 0:29-0:30 ???

    She certainly had that classic 60s-70s long, straight-hair "look", and, considering the salaries of actors back then compared to now, would not have been shocking to see a then-somewhat-established face as a featured extra in a commercial. Hmmm Wish I had her e-mail addy so I could ask her LOL

  • Not one black person...tsk tsk tsk

  • @BRADvsBR4D How racist is that? Wow, have times changed.

  • @adirondack1965

    just a joke...sorry if you took it literal and shit...O_O

  • the colonel.. i say you he dead

  • Back before North Americans turned into scared little faggots too afraid to stick a piece of fried chicken in their mouths

  • @ioport

    Not wanting to torture and slaughter living feeling beasts makes people "faggots"?

  • @thehillbillymoon I'm not a fag. I want to feel some breasts.

    By the way. did you actually post to YOURSELF, saying you were awesome?? Are you Skitzo?? Which personality am I posting to??

  • @71259mark

    I don't recall calling anyone a "Fag" and yes I did post myself because I'm kickass.

  • @thehillbillymoon You're kickass ? Well, what the hell. I guess as long as one of us thinks so.

  • @71259mark

    The only one of us that thinks at all.

  • @71259mark After all that time, that was the best you could come up with? You'd have been off saying nothing.

  • @thehillbillymoon The fact that you even look at it like that makes you a silly, effeminate, overly-sensitive, sorry excuse for a man.

  • @ioport

    Maybe that's because I'm a broad. I'm not sure why you equate empathy for homosexuality but maybe you should stay in school.

  • @thehillbillymoon Women are to be seen, not heard. You silly little cunt, if you were living in the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust you'd be trapping cute little squirrels and kitty cats and snapping their necks then taking them back to your tin shack for the KFC deep fryer treatment, your moral sensibilities be damned. What a comfortable, ridiculous little life you must have.

  • @ioport

    Wow you're the human equivilant of a pile of steaming shit with flies on it. Please give your computer away to someone who will raise the collective I.Q. of the world wide web.

    My life...(and your pathetic life for that matter) are both comfortable enough that we don't need to torture and kill animals by the tons daily. Go get your Tool cd and your tiny penis and get the fuck off my porch.

  • @thehillbillymoon A pile of steaming shit is that thing you call a brain. Tool? What the fuck are you talking about? Funniest thing is you are 42. I would have guessed mid-twenties, but here you are passing your loser life away making shitty music references and ever-so-creative "tiny penis" remarks. If you didn't look like such shit maybe you could get a decent man and forget about your ridiculous save the animals crusade. As for IQ, mine has been tested at 140. How about you?

  • @ioport

    I'm too awesome to feel insulted or angry over someone like you. Seriously switch to decaffeinated drinks you profusely sweating pigmouthed stooge.

  • @thehillbillymoon Blah blah blah, you fat, dumpy cunt. Why is it that most every bitch who's into animal rights looks like you? Being over 40 only makes it worse. Get a fucking life you ugly, unemployed p.o.s., because despite how "awesome" you try to tell yourself you are, deep down inside you know you're nothing but a pathetic loser. PS: Have fun trying to get that loose, roast beef pussy of yours off with that jackhammer of a dildo you bought. God knows no man would want to go down there.

  • @ioport

    You can tell a lot about someone by the language they use. I'm guessing you have the mental and emotional capabilities of a rock. Using the sad c word on a woman only says something about you not her. As for how I look I don't know how you possibly make an assesment on my looks when you've never seen me. You seem rather childish. Go back to playing Guitar Hero and fondeling yourself in your parents basement, little feller.

  • @thehillbillymoon Hilarious. Coming from the cunt who used such refined language as "steaming piece of shit" and "fuck". And now with "Guitar Hero". Jesus Fucking Christ are you 42 or 14?As for mental capabilities, I already stated my IQ was tested at 140. I noticed how you never responded to that. Anyways, I think I'm done with this. Fire off another volley if you like. God knows it'd be the only thing that could possibly make you feel good about yourself today.

  • @ioport

    I went to work in my garden while you twisted yourself into a knot. Are you related to Mel gibson by any chance?

  • @ioport

    I live the glamorous life of a non-asshole who needs anger therapy.

    *sticks her fork in her salad while petting her kitty kat* Have a day, jackalass. *bunny kisses*

  • @thehillbillymoon Glamorous life of a piece of shit loser who needs cats to keep her company. God damn, what a stereotype. No wonder you can't find a decent man. News flash: You're not hip and you're not cool, and despite your bohemian pretensions, you don't have an ounce of art in you. Start acting your age, get off the Internet, get in shape, get a job. That'd be a good start.

  • that was my grandmas grandpa at 0:23

  • Everything in the 70's seemed to be brown and orange.

  • Now I know what to feed zombies...KFC. They eat it and just keep walking endlessly in circles...

  • 0:13 fucked up 0.29 crank head

  • Does anybody remember a KFC commercial in the late 60s/early 70s where Col Sanders was being chased by a bunch of old ladies?

  • I am all for health food, but kfc, as they are called now, taste terrible! They used to be good.

  • Americans werent fat and lazy for 30 years of fast food then came along the lsoers who sit arund all day playing WOW and jacking off to my little pony

  • @deltapunk21 i know. they should jack off to bratz dolls like real men.

  • fuck this shit that's why u r almost all obeses!!!!!!! yankeee pig

  • Learn to spell

  • @streetthrasher Ugh no were not all "obesE" you dont even know what obese is KFC is GOOD TASTING food unliek the shitty euro crpa that tastes like ass and is low in nutrients and protein. Oh wait I can eat ENGLISH FOOD you know fried grease with fried lard and fried every damn thing lol Meanwhile fat ass Italians and their pasta and fat loser Arab pigs have their slave women make them lamb

  • is that the actual colonel?

  • Whoa, a bunch of people walking around in a circle around a giant chicken bucket in the middle of the desert, strange behavior but it works! gotta love the 70's

  • Sorry, but I wasn't around until 1981.

  • I remember this ad. And I also remember they changed the words in a later commercial to say: "Colonel Sanders' boys and girls make it finger lickin' good". I guess the original line was becoming too sexist.

  • correct me or it was said that the colonial seal the formula and flavor from a black man who first came up with this idea with the chicken we today so loved?

  • This commercial makes me sick.

  • That's a weird commercial. I can hear the ad rep making the pitch: "You see there will be lines of people walking in circles around a giant tub of chicken".

  • Is it me or didn't many blacks appear in commericals during this era ( i am not racist just making a comment) now days god forbid if you do not see a black person --someone will scream that the company is racist.

  • It might have scared the Canadians

  • By the late 1960s African-Americans commonly appeared in television advertising. The companys back then, as now, wanted their product to appeal to the widest audience possible, so the largest demographic groups were included. Political correctness was not the motivation.

  • @Ketterashley82 I agree with you but I think it's more sad that you (and a lot of non ethnic people like me) feel that you have to apologize for your own opinion. Then someone marks the comment negative.

  • and homophobic...fuck me if you don't see any limp wristed arse bandits or cropped haired carpet munchers on top of the bill in this day of age there will be hell to pay...I'D SHOOT THE FUCKIN LOT OF THEM...

  • Sanders is a Genius.

    he is legen...

    wait for it

    DARY!

  • That was the good old days. Kentucky Fried Chicken was good back then. The KFC stuff is marinated and cooked in a vat of grease. It gives me diahrea I haven't tasted the grilled yet, is it good?

  • Colonel Sanders and his boys, make it finger licking good.... hmmmm... "and his boys"??? I guess women didn't work much back in 1971(?!?!?!) Oh well, glad times have changed... signed, a girl ;-)

  • Looks like if one of Colonel Sanders' boys slipped they'd be Kentucky Died...

  • Yep. They consider the Dalai Lama a criminal. They have some twisted views about the world. Keep in mind that they are subject to thought control: state media and Internet censorship, which is also found in countries like North Korea and Iran. China, unlike the other two countries, is making some significant social progress, thought Hu Jintao is considered to be a step backward toward Maoist rule.

    By kazuo62 [Affiliate User] 3 years ago

  • If KFC has any intregrity, it comes from Col. Sanders who invented the process that sells a billion. (...Which involved pressure cooking chicken to tenderize it; ever eat other fast food chicken? tastes like tree bark)

    Unfortunately, in the US he sold all rights to a group of investors for a relatively small sum, and the inventor of the whole thing was turned into a sock puppet front man for mega-corp. But make no mistake, the Colonel was an enterprising guy who took a side business global.

  • Dont bullshit me Kernel Numnuts! Where are the token negroes for this commercial (dont be offended if you are black, come on, everytime I go to KFC I think Im in Motown). The G-damn copy should read : "Join the heart attack club for men, eat KFC 2 to 3 times a week and we'll land you in intensive care in no time!" I just ate two piece KFC 2 hours ago and have washed my greasy fukken hands like 5 times already...11 herbs and spices, wow, like that competes with secret sauce on my tasty burger!

  • Hey duck ever hear of Swiss Chalet? it is so much better than kfc so much !

  • Back when chicken was truly chicken.

  • why the fuck do you think the name kfc is lame compared to the original name? what difference does it make????

  • It's the perception of someone who probably associates fond memories of the past with the full name and old image of KFC.

  • yes and you would know more than anyone else you old cunt :-)

  • @bcstewart

    gwa ha ha! Brian, I hope I haven't offended you... again. It seems you have some strong feelings about KFC. Is it possible that a significant portion of your man tits were formed by some of the Colonel's greasy fried chicken wings and skins? Hmmm...

  • kerou: Try harder.

    Because you can't intelligently rebuff a comment doesn't mean it isn't a good one. Quite the contrary.

  • Hey, dianamherrera, what's a really good fast food place in canada that we don't get in the states? Are there some really good ones?
