KFC advert with Hugo from New Zealand

[donbrashsux]

i JUST WATCHED 'the colonel is rascist" here on youtube...

[DrLeavingsoon]

Ah yes - back when fat meant you were rich.

[the67go]

kfc removed the ad because the kids r tubby !

[iluvmikidz]

opps thats Mazda wonder light....

[iluvmikidz]

Love this add. Do you have the mazda light TV add??

[LewisROFL]

They forgot about the animal cruelty bit

[Jammageful]

hahaha this is hilarious!

[gvwolf]

Notice how we worry about obesity now but it wasn't a problem back in the late 70s early 80s

[NgatiChum83]

How obese are those kids and dad still stops at KFC...hehehe

[tiddlypom]

Haven't seen this one for a while! Does anyone remember the Big Muffin Serious Band used to do a great piss-take of this?

[gnarly79]

fucking fat lil kids.

[rodnrach]

I still remembered all the words lol!  O the memories!

[uzzle65]

Makes me want to hit the track & and go grab a pack, of Kentucky Fried! :-)

[jammasterjei]

LOL this add reminds me of my Dad. He used to sing parts of it and I never knew what it was until earlier this year haha. Nice (Y)

[id46]

OMG use to sing this ad with my brothers

[Kauwhaka]

Blimey! Haven't seen this one for years!! Was one of New Zealands top ads at the time.

[VidManNZL]

ah the memories.

[margis01]

I so remember this when I was soooo young...im now 42...that shows just how old this is..cos I was around 8...or maybe 10?...lol

[dobbynp]

Was on a rugby trip a few years ago and being a new member was forced to sing a song. I chose this one. Everyone remembered. so catchy.

[chevyvictor]

remember it well. with Hugo and Hollie so fat theres no way KFC will ever air this ad again LOL

[AboutNewZealand]

Kia Ora. My all time fave.Thank you so much :)

[phinoe]

This ad certainly did air in Australia. I live in Sydney and remember it well....it was always one of my faves!!!

[kiwikid74]

Hugo's a little fattie! Prehaps he's eating too much Kentucky Fried...Lol. You gotta love the non-pc nature of yesteryear.

[brettrulesnot]

cool! I remember this!

[brettrulesnot]

1973 ad!

[Ballyorca]

1973 or 74. I remember singing it at Maeroa Intermediate.

[johnw47]

this ad certainly aired in Australia - in black&white. So it must have been before '74

Love it!!

John

[kirst1967]

I have been singing that ad and trying to get Australians to remember it for years... now it makes sense.. it was only a NZ ad. Thank God I am not going mad.

[mooksmovies]

Why isn't Hugo wearing his seatbelt?

[mooksmovies]

Wait! They both aren't wearing their seatbelts!

When did New Zealand cars first have seatbelts?

[MrSteveUtah]

BECAUSE ,back in the 70's there were not seatbelts in the back seats of cars in New Zealand

[violaannie9]

All these years later and I'm still singing this one, and the one about "Down on the farm when the lights went off, the Mazda man put his thinking cap on", "Zip zap National Bank Visa" and the Chesdale Cheese ad. Affected by advertising - who me?

[rossxny556]

That ad made me buy a heap of chicken. Didnt feel unPC then

[tweetingsparrow]

Also no seatbelts. You know, 30-odd years later and I still know the lyrics by heart - sung it to someone recently.

[23arya32]

Memories - you so would not see an ad like this today. Damh shame we're not American - we could have sued KFC for promoting the fat kid idea...

[8chik8]

wow they totally would not be allowed this now: fat kids eating fast food tsk tsk :'(

[leatherjacketman]

it was my face as well, made my childhood.

[SaraLWilliams]

Wow, I couldn't imagine that selling food too well anymore. At least it's honest though... eat KFC and have fat kids.

[TubularBelle]

Oh My God, I thought this was going to be on 20 to 1 (TV show) tonight and it wasn't so I found it on here, but I seriously remember the soundtrack being cooler. I wonder if the Australian version was different. Thanks so much for this. I had remembered all the words except I thought it was 'Cause Life isn't funny with an empty tummy'. This has made my day.

[TubularBelle]

What year is this? I was thinking early 1970's but we didn't even get colour television until 1975.

[mooksmovies]

I don't know, but I think it's from 1976 or 1977.

[mooksmovies]

Wait a minute! This is from 1975!

[MrSteveUtah]

Thanks so much for posting this .I have thought often all these years about this ad and the thrill of ever seeing it again.

This is by far the best ad NZ has ever produced

[nzmedic]

Great stuff! Memories from when I was a kid, and yeah, still know all the words as well. Anyone know where a better hi-res copy can be found?

[MrSteveUtah]

Thanks so much for posting this .I have thought often all these years about this ad and the thrill of ever seeing it again.

Although ,it should have been an American ad with all those fat people in it

[TubularBelle]

PsycadelicShacks videos is a better quality version

[nzmedic]

Can you give me a link to the site please?

[TubularBelle]

You can find it in the related videos column on the right. It's called Kentucky Fried Chicken Commercial-"Hugo and Holly" by PsycadelicShack. Or just go to my Home Page, it is in my favourites.

[rodamo60]

WOW .great memories,Hugo sister reminds me of my sister !!!

[festis21]

Homested was better ;-)

[torqueingheads]

Great memories, bought a tear to my eye.

[TubularBelle]

And my other half has been laughing at me because I got so excited to find this.

[greylynnn]

yeeyaa thats what i'm talking about!!!!

[muntox]

[pizzahutb1]

Yes kiwismoke it does bring back memories, who would have thought I'd end up working for the co. that owns KFC/Pizza Hut -(in australia - not me.

[BiTbIt123]

Is that from the olden days or somthing?!

[kiwismoke]

Ahhh! Brings back memories
