🙁 Disliked it

Fans debate a Jason Alexander KFC commercial, with mixed reactions; some note a potential connection to the Kenny Rogers Roasters episode while others find the ads forgettable.

I just saw a KFC commercial with JA. It was pretty lame. Jason is talking to some kid and he basically says that this bucket will save america from ordinary fast food and that there is fast food and there is KFC.

I kind of liked the commercial. I think the ad writers wanted Seinfeld fans to draw the connection between JA's character George with kenny roger's chicken and the new character with KFC>

Which reminds me, exactly what was George doing during the entire Kenny Rogers roasters episode? I only remember a lot of interaction between Jerry and Kramer in that episode.

CA-STANZA! (kind of like "From Mennen!") George leaves stuff behind so he has an excuse to go back to this woman's apartment. Laura Kimoto wrote in message ...

I've seen the KFC ads (there are more than one) a couple of dozen times (they run during Phillies games here in Philadelphia), and I didn't think of the Kenny Rogers episode once. If that's what the commercial writers were going for, they missed by a mile. The spots are very similar to JA's Rold Gold pretzel commercials from a few years ago.

I really like the commercials. They're supposed to be a bit over the top. Like someone mentioned---the ROLD GOLD commercials. There is something appealing about that short, bald-ING, chubby guy. " I like that commercial. To me it rings true". ; )

I thought it was "stocky" instead of "chubby". And when Elaine is describing George to her friend, didn't she say "cuddly" or something?

The lame part is that he doesn't need to hawk a fast food restaurant.

He should be a little more discriminating.

Shit, I just had an epiphany. Queue the pigeons.

I love George to death, but I don't care much for Jason at all.

Dave (probably won't watch his new show.)

I feel the same way about Michael Richards and (real life) Jerry Seinfeld. BTW, why are you lining up pigeons?

However bad the KFC commercial, it's gotta be better than the ones we get here in Australia. Anyone else in this ng from Australia? You know what I'm talking about. I _hate_ the colonel!
