KFC getting another new Colonel?

Posted by TWuG Feb 4 '16, 19:41

I'm on the side that thinks this is cleverly planned and they've intended to change Colonels frequently to drive interest and maintain a bit of freshness for the character.

Not sure if they're succeeding, but this is the first time in over a decade I even gave thought to Colonel Sanders.

I thought Norm McDonald did a good job especially after the creepy colonel by Hammond. -- nm - Krusty Feb 4, 19:49 10
- Which I think was entirely intentional. - TWuG Feb 4, 19:51 9
  - Though why would KFC want Col. Sanders to be creepy? (Though I suppose creepy mascots haven't hurt McDonalds, or Burger King) -- nm - Roger More Feb 4, 19:53 8
    - To get people talking about the character. Hammond was only the Colonel for about 3 months before Norm was brought in. - TWuG Feb 4, 19:56 3
      - Next will be Fred Armisen to complete the trinity of shitty. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 4, 20:07 1
        
        I was thinking Schwarzenegger for the characteristic of "war-crazed". -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 20:10
      - Because there's nothing off-putting about Norm MacDonald! -- nm - KFC si Feb 4, 19:58

        that sounds like Dennis Leary's Col Saunders 'just open up your pie hole pal' -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 4, 20:23 1
        
        This is a winning idea. I can almost hear it now. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 23:00
Kate McKinnon. -- nm - Reagen Feb 4, 19:45 2
- I'm hoping for Tracy Morgan -- nm - Roger More Feb 4, 19:58 1
  - That'd be aces. -- nm - Reagen Feb 4, 19:59
I initially thought that Darrell Hammond and Norm McDonald would have a Colonel-off during the Super Bowl. -- nm - Tim Feb 4, 19:43
