My wife and I worked at KFC in Palmy back in 1973?,I cooked she served and I can say with hindsight that we kept a spotlessly clean shop and our chicken was better cooked than the sloppy half cooked rubbish we get today.
When we had KFC at home (NZ) my brother and I thought we were rich. We didn't know what obesity was then but we loved our KFC. It's not the same like it used to be, other things that have changed is we are now glued to a screen of some kind versus back then we went outside to play or ran around school or played on the gyms between classes. Maybe we should go back to those times where we entertain ourselves and not be entertained by the screens in front of us. Screen addiction is a real thing.
I love 💕 this ad.we loved singing it back in the early seventies we only had KFC special occasions like Easter and Xmas so it was a real treat and I kid you not,it really did taste so much better
I can remember that being on every add break. NZs first fast-food outside of fish n' chips. I'm pretty sure there was even a birds nest up on the pole in Lower Hutt too. We only had a B+W TV back then.
My Mum used to tell me about this ad. When she was a kid, her and her siblings would always say that the youngest two of the kids were the kids in this ad - they were spoilt and fat, haha savages.
Favorite commercial and it's was memorable just watching it but it's now points out that if you eat so much of this food it classified as unhealthy however it doesn't taste as good as it was back then and back in the days it was awesome having KFC it like winning a lottery ticket 𘲀𘲀𘲀𘲀𘲀𘲀𘲀𘲈𘲈𘲈𘲈𘲈
Cos there were as many takeaway shops 50 years ago as there are now aye..... Now that there is a KFC, MC, BK, BF, Carl's, Wendy's, and every other small brand fried shop + all the F&C stores + a Liq store on every corner had nothing to do with it aye? Nope let's just blame dieting and fitness.. what's the bet you are fat. Lmao.
Seen it on a new movie called Swinging Safari and now I remember seeing this when I was about 5 years old... Wow check out how overweight the kids are!
This ad was on all the time on the mid-70s in New Zealand. Looking at it now, in 2023, I do wonder about the messages it sends, such as that eating KFC connects with obesity. But, not an issue in mid-70s I guess. This was when American fast foods were working to penetrate the NZ market. Before that, we had our own Kiwi hamburger and sandwich places, but they were not franchised, they were not fatty, and they had no secret herbs and spices beyond those of each individual’s outlet. But our real takeout/takeaway was fish and chips. These were deep fried then rolled up in newspaper. You ripped an end off the paper and enjoyed the heck out of your “greasies”.
Man I love watching that ad. Memories from the 1970"s. Probably today it would be politically in correct because....man I really do not have the energy to think of all the reasons why today.....can't be bothered. It was cool...
In all honesty, I wish KFC changed their names by region. Can you imagine Melbourne Fried Chicken? Ohio Fried Chicken? Toronto Fried Chicken? You get the picture.
Ironically people were not as fat back in the 1970s, I know I wasn't....then again I was not middle aged back then. What is funny is it is only since the diet and fitness industries really kicked off that people got fatter.
You've should've been there when the boss ordered KFC for the staff during the last monster sale event in 2014. So it was the Albion Park Rail KFC where I had to pick up 100 chicken pieces for a 12:30pm pickup. So i arrived at 12:40 & the food was ready. Drove back to work and noticed a large oil stain in the back of the bosses car. It was half cooked!!! A few of the staff and customers were brave enough to eat it. One customer woofed 10 pieces and went home sick (after spending half n hour in the dunny) It was a horror lol
Amazing, the 1970's were the only time where they planted you might get obese from your greasy fat filled artificial chicken drumstick and salty drowned fries!?

That was an awesome store, as a kid I could remember the lines out the door and the food coming from sliding windows from out back
It's funny now more locally-owned shops make fried chicken sometimes better than kfc.
KFC sucks.
You think people took pride in their work back then? Agreed the chicken most KFC's offer now is dry, over cooked shit.
@@visualknightmare6662 'Country Fried Chicken' & 'Kools Chicken' tops KFC
Used to play this with my band as a crowdwarmer at pubs in 1979.
Do you know the name of the music ?

From NZ 🇳🇿:
Once a month it was either KFC, or your favorite Big As chocolate bar or the Movies at The Odeon/ Kings theatre. Gisborne 🇳🇿
The size of the children is a real red flag as to the future health benefits we all know now.
What a classic! 👍🇳🇿

It's pronounced "Fush n Chups". From a real Kiwi.
Yeah nah! Only if you’re a Aussie mate!😮
Thanks for putting this clip up. I still remembered all the words. It would not be allowed today.
Do you know the name of the music ?
Maryne S According to the TH-cam copyright © system it’s called “KFC, Hugo Said You Go” and is credited to “Groove Myers”.
the tense and release of that major 6... so good
'66-'76: Humanity's artistic zenith.
My Mum used to tell me about this ad. When she was a kid, her and her siblings would always say that the youngest two of the kids were the kids in this ad - they were spoilt and fat, haha savages.
Better than the current KFC jingle however it goes
we were sitting here talking about ads & my mum mentioned to watch this & honestly in my opinion we should bring it backkkkk
The car is rocking and rolling.
Well, thats a blast from the past :)
i remember the old kfc in panmure opposite swimarama
Who else had to watch an ad to watch this ad?
me
***** I have it.
As of today it's been a semi-centennial year since this KFC advert was released

KFC was cooked with animal fat back then, made a big difference
No one's gonna talk about the screen tearing
Fun fact all American farmers are singing was originally from America.
And those kids are American too!
Holy S*** bro...this gave me flashbacks from Hell! Cheers
Where is Old Zealand
It's an Island in Denmark
@@ZealouswolfNZ finally, OLD ZEALAND
It’s a region of the Netherlands, but also a Danish town similarly named.
My uncle brought the first kfc to NZ wow 😮 like if you love kfc
No Hori’s in that car
The guy singing sounds like the dude that did the Atlantic ads
Seen it on a new movie called Swinging Safari and now I remember seeing this when I was about 5 years old...
Wow check out how overweight the kids are!

Yep, same avert aired in Australia too.
I wonder if they knew the prophecy they were depicting would come true.
Best KFC ad ever
I think I recall this. Boy.
Lol..they cut this advert it was an insult to big people or something like that
Umm didn't it use to say so we sat in the back getting fat?
Actually it said sitting in the back getting thinner .. search YT for this clip:
'Ad NZ KFC Hugo'
Sounds like 70's Dunedin band Mother Goose
Some high BSL results in that particular family
I like this commercial but why is there a KFC in the middle of nowhere?
Was it the first TV- ad in NZ?
I just need to find some information for my university project about history of ad in NZ
kfc kid fattening center
They don’t even leave the car.
Man I love watching that ad. Memories from the 1970"s. Probably today it would be politically in correct because....man I really do not have the energy to think of all the reasons why today.....can't be bothered. It was cool...
I remember it well lol. In hindsight though...those obese kids do NOT need KFC.
In all honesty, I wish KFC changed their names by region. Can you imagine Melbourne Fried Chicken? Ohio Fried Chicken? Toronto Fried Chicken? You get the picture.
But it's Kentucky style
KFC -Kentucky Fried CRAP
No wonder this what they eat.
Hoiii
Looks like of Flintstones Hanna Barbera Cartoons and Footrot flats
Hi mindless792..mindless says it all ..stealing shortnews/shortavi 's vid..get ya own.
More likely usa add supplyed to nz

They didn't get too much thinner. No one can escape the Colonel
'Let's use morbid obesity to sell fast food'
Genius.
+The6thSimpson even the car is obese
Where's your multi-billion dollar fast food chain, Einstein?
Don't force arguments my friend. There's nothing to see here.
Well does anyone really believe that supermodels eat at Carls Jr? It's kind of refreshing to see an old ad that was honest about their customers.
Hey, at least they where being honest
Classic ad. Still remembered it after all these years.
Hey do you still remember flappy bird?
Back in the days when KFC was healthy for you.
Ironically people were not as fat back in the 1970s, I know I wasn't....then again I was not middle aged back then.
What is funny is it is only since the diet and fitness industries really kicked off that people got fatter.
They had this ad in Australia in 1972.
Yes ,,the good old days mate
used to love singing this in the car as a kid with my brothers. I think we drove our parents a bit nuts.. lol
You've should've been there when the boss ordered KFC for the staff during the last monster sale event in 2014.

It was a horror lol

Amazing, the 1970's were the only time where they planted you might get obese from your greasy fat filled artificial chicken drumstick and salty drowned fries!?
