Whenever the Christmas holidays come around, there are bound to be an increase of heartwarming ads popping up everywhere and fast food restaurant chain Kentucky Fried Chicken has created a hilarious Christmas ad to warm our hearts.
The tone of the video is a generally rude and socially unacceptable. It starts off with two mothers fighting over a doll for their daughter, an old man wanting to hose down a group of carol singers, and a group of children breaking a glass window. The soundtrack in the video is especially humorous as the idea behind Christmas songs is to spread joy, instead, the lyrics go something along the lines of, “I almost tore your hair out for the last doll in the store, but the things that once divided us don’t matter anymore.” Despite all the rudeness, all of them manage to come together and get over their differences over a bucket of deep fried chicken from KFC.
