KFC

Why isn't Jason Alexander yelling at all those bozos in the KFC commercials?

To be honest, this doesn't mean a lot to those of us in Great Britain and elsewhere who do not see US commercials. Would you care to let us know what JA does in the commercials and why he should, instead, be "yelling at all those bozos"?

Thank you,

Ian

Actually, it doesn't mean a lot to me either, and I'm in the US and have seen the KFC commercials. :-) Who should Jason Alexander be yelling at, and why? Are you suggesting he should play it exactly like he's doing George Costanza?

I don't like the commercials.

"Eat *this* instead of *that*. Because *that* is disgusting swill I wouldn't feed to a dog and *this* is wholesome and wonderful and it's made by the people who pay me obscene money to convince you to buy it."

I hate product commercials that mimic political smear ads. They show no creativity or originality whatsoever on the part of the ad agency, and they are actually more likely to make me avoid the product than seek it out.

Jason Alexander does a series of commercials for an American fast food chain called Kentucky Fried Chicken, or KFC. In them, he upbraids a group of so-called "bozos" for eating inferior fast food and not the delicious wares of KFC. Although he does not yell at them, his intense devotion to the Kentucky Fried Chicken Corporation of America is plainly evident.

Personally, I think KFC sucks.

KFC, eh? Sounds interesting. Wonder what they sell?

We KNOW what KFC is.. We aren't that deprived over here...

Well, unless you count the crap on TV. The crap-all to do. The crappy 500% tax to pay on all the crap that we can't do.. And the general Crap-ish state of the whole country.

Who's Bozo?

You're hung up on some clown from the sixties, man!

Yeah, Bozo. That chimp's all right. High five!

Isn't that Coco the Chimp????????

One of the girls down at the maid service is named Coco. Yeah, Coco. That girl's all right.

I thought Barry was the chimp.

Coco is the guerilla that uses sign language (George or Kramer brings Coco up in an episode) and Barry is the chimp Kramer has "issues" with and Bozo is the clown, and maybe a few posters here :)

Putty & Jerry also have a Coco conversation iin The Dealership.

High 5.

in fact, some of them have moved on and are doing sign language...

"high 5" is a reference to what Puddy kept asking Jerry for in "The Dealership", annoying Jerry to no end.

I actually watched a special on Coco a while back and Coco can communicate at a young child's level which was very impressive.

Enough Coco, do you mind? I have the window!

I just thought Jason Alexander oughta yell at some of the bozos in the KFC commercial to remind of what he did on Seinfeld. Something like:

"Hello!!! Do you want to buy some chicken??!!! Okay, good answer!!"

Yeah, I'm sure he'd love to do "George" in commercials since there's no danger of him being typecast or anything...
