As a kid a 300 gram bag of Doritos was $1.50 CAD, now a reduced size 200 gram bag costs $6.50 CAD -- that's 650% inflation in 30 years, or 22% inflation per year.
@@dandycrow2821 so the fact the colonel looks as if he hung himself in a chimney; or is it the fact he is a horny old man spying on the family and admits he was jacking off to all of them, that you don't get?
It's because in the aftermath of World War II, with increased American presence, KFC used a marketing campaign to straight-up lie to Japanese people and make them believe that fried chicken was traditional Christmas food.
But they also don't treat Christmas as seriously as the West. It's more of a commercial holiday over there rather than one that shuts down the country.
I met him in person at Comedy Works in Denver and got a picture with him. If was amazing and he was so nice. I was at a loss for words, I didn't know what to say to him.
I don’t think it got banned. I think that’s the click-bait title, and it’s an actual ad that has been altered for some appearance that involved Norm MacDonald. Just my 2¢.
@@nodak81in Japan, it would have been fried eel, and the dad would proceed to use the eels in and around the woman in front of the kids, then it becomes all pixelated and she starts screaming IGU IGU IGU
In the real world… Son: you gave me a chicken wing instead of a bike? Daughter: I guess they were warm last night? Wife: What are you saying about my cooking?
I was thinking throughout the entire thing that it was because the censors thought it looked like the Colonel was hanging from a noose inside the chimney. Then I heard the end of it, and learned it was obviously fake. You got me to overthink it though, so you win.
Fun fact KFC is insanely popular during Christmas in Japan. Its a family tradition for most families to have KFC for Christmas dinner. Believe it or not.
@@odysseusrex5908 Probably quite a few tbh, Christmas has penetrated most of the world pretty thoroughly regardless of religion. Notable exceptions are places where religions are very strict, such as the middle east. Only Christians celebrate the birth of Christ, but christmas has become a lot more than that, modern christmas is a holiday celebrating generosity and kindness more than a religious event.
@@odysseusrex5908 Pretty hard to find a number like that for any population, the only number I could find was 3.6 million families. Doesn't define whether that includes extended family or if it's counting family units (parent/child) individually.
I bought 2 whole chickens today , much cheaper than that fatty KFC . The covid put a permanent stop to eating fast foods for us. . We learned to cook wisely and save big bucks . It may be a good thing to buy people food for holiday occasions , like a nice fat turkey or ham ... 🙂
Of course not! I will say again, why would they include that in it? If it were a RU-vid video made by Norm Macdonald or another individual alone, then one person could have thought this was so funny and clever that it was okay, But if there were at least two or three people who had to approve it, One of them, Somebody would have slammed the breaks on it!!! But, there it is!! 😠
my friend used this in a presentation in class. the presentation is about a company you’re trying to pursuance people not to use that company. we are suppose to analyze a commercial and say what’s bad about it. my friend put this not knowing what’s it about. he just did it cuz it had banned commercial in it. when it said the part at the end my teacher told them to go in the hall. he talked to them but only let the guy who put it out in the hall. once the teacher came back in. the guy slammed the door on accident and the teacher made him go to the office. good times
I just came here to read the comments, because I thought they were gonna talk about the fact that his mom/dad clearly ran out of money and said "well here you go, some chicken".
I'm sure you've read the comments, but this horrible fate is very real in Japan, really shows the scary power of marketing, like popcorn during a movie, cake on birthdays, Turkey during Thanksgiving, and candy on Halloween.
@@Th3BusinessMan So Norm McDonald you like? You don't like the restaurant McDonald's. That restaurant chain was not even mentioned. Why do you say it's an insult to them?
@@Th3BusinessMan I don't see how this is an insult to McDonald's (the food chain). They were not mentioned. I think someone said nuggets, but nuggets are sold by lots of food chains besides McDonald's. I think your just assuming they were talking about McDonald's. Lets say thats true. I'm not really hearing anything insulting.
It might be just me but KFC's menu is incredibly difficult to understand 😂 I mean I didn't even think the $5 full up comes with the drink advertised and what ever happen to simple combo numbers, you go through that drive thru you're just guessing at what they should have
