In his storied years as the brand mascot, KFC's Colonel Sanders has been a dashing romantic lead, a muscled wrestling bodyslammer, and a DC Comics superhero, but few interpretations have showcased his determined personality as well as Obsession.
Presenting the drumstick-fryer as a focused yet hot-headed trailblazer, the witty and cinematic spot from Highdive doubles-down on what it takes to make fast food so finger lickin’ good.
Directed by Dorian & Daniel through RESET, who clearly relish the opportunity to reimagine the spice-master in a spicier manner, this bonkers history lesson shows the founder ain't no chicken.
