A bucket o’ ’75. (Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial, summer 1975)
“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.

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!
Haha. I know! Borderline creepy, but we didn’t think so at the time.
