TOS KFC commerical--how did we miss this?

[seigezunt]

o yeah. I remember that. Weird CGI/makeup/lighting thing going on with the faces...

That was the best thing I've seen in days! Thanks for the link Gep Malakai!

I agree.......Thanks for posting!!!

Having searched the forum and come up blank, it looks like we somehow all missed that a year or so ago, KFC recreated the bridge and crew of the classic Enterprise for a TV spot.

I can't believe I never saw this on TV. And it's creepy how good some of the likenesses are to the original actors--can we replace Simon Pegg with whoever played this Scotty?

Horrifying. In a curiously humourous way!

I've never seen this thing...ever! And as much TV and YouTube as I've watched over time this stands as one of the great pop culture surprises in recent memory...a KFC TREK commercial...wow! Someone didn't give this thing the exposure it deserved!

No CG, actually. Just makeup.

Must have been for the failed, short-lived Replicated BBQ Chicken Wings campaign.

 

[GilmourD]

Oh...

I dare anyone to use this...

Done!

 

[ManOnTheWave]

I think I'm going out for chicken tonight.

 

[M'Sharak]

Nice!

"Mmmmm...

Hot. Greasy. Spicy.

Just like Carol...before she got herpes simplex A."

Captain James T. Kirk

I'm Sorry. I can't Hear You Over The Taste Of How Finger Licken' My Chicken Is.

 

[Green Shirt]

He could have had coleslaw or potato salad. Those don't contain meat.

Maybe in your house they don't.


BTW, The guy playing Scotty had all his fingers. Very "borgus". Unless they were pretending to have a full-fingered stand-in doing the close-up. (WOW, three hyphenated words in one sentence. A record for this board, perhaps?)

 

[cooleddie74]

"MMMMMM-mmmm!

Tastes just like Janice."

Captain Kirk: mmmmm... this is good, Scotty, what is it?
Scotty: Ensign Richards. Doctor McCoy said we had to dispose of the remains and I put him through the food synthesizer.
