“Hey, it’s a Kentucky Fried Chicken Day.”

It’s Sunday in the Seventies. Time to head out for a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. Today, we’ve got two vintage spots on display for the company not-yet-known as KFC.

Fist up, a “Party Pleaser Month” spot from October of 1972 with narration by the Colonel. After that, a picnic spot from July 1975 with a Hitchcock-style cameo from the Colonel. That man has to qualify as a 70s mascot.

  1. Oh my God, that is so ominous the way The Colonel slinks into that last shot in the ’75 ad! Yes, totally cracked me up – definitely Hitchcock-ian!
