Foghorn Leghorn can currently be seen on the big screen in Coyote Vs. Acme, where he is given the rather unflattering role of being the corrupt CEO of The Acme Corporation. Some fans of the jolly rooster have their pinfeathers in a knot over him playing a bad guy, but it’s hardly Foghorn’s first trip to the dark side. In the 1980s, he served as a mascot for Kentucky Fried Chicken (long before they would become more commonly known as “KFC”). Here’s a commercial in which he encourages a chicken hawk to go eat delicious fried chicken over at Kentucky Fried Chicken, and his enthusiasm for the restaurant chain is…troubling. He gushes about how perfectly they cook the chicken, and how savory their eleven herbs and spices are, and…yeah, Foghorn has absolutely eaten his own kind to give Colonel Sanders such a glowing Yelp review.

This campaign lasted for a while, with Foghorn hosting several ads for his favorite Kentucky Fried Cannibalism. Sure, he’s also a fan of the side dishes (KFC used to have corn on the cob? I genuinely wonder how that tasted), but c’mon. He gets some sick kicks out of this. He has to. Or maybe it can be justified as a survival tactic. Foghorn would make a lot of tenders if you follow what I mean. I say, I say, a chicken his size could feed a bunch of singing orphans, I do declare. Why that boy Oliver Twist wouldn’t know what to do with his tastebuds once he got a whiff of that glorious food, I say.

Mind you, this is far from the most “cringe” marketing KFC has ever done. Remember when Colonel Sanders said he wanted to eat the Twitter Bird and Sonic the Hedgehog told him to stop and then Colonel Sanders said he wanted to eat Sonic instead? And how that wasn’t a thing Scrat made up? Oh, who am I kidding? That’s actually pretty fucking funny. And so are these Foghorn Leghorn spots. Maybe KFC can recruit his services again for some much-needed PR repair.

Have the power, I say, the power tonight, y’all! And I do declare, be happy with who you are, don’t walk into open traffic, be healthy, I say, healthy, and above all, tell KFC to learn how to keep their biscuits hot again! Sheesh!
