KFC only follow 11 people on Twitter and Richard Osman sent the gag viral all over again
the poke - 1 week ago
The KFC account on Twitter does something rather marvellous with the handful of people it follows and while many of you might already be familiar with it, it’s a gag with no best before date.
The great Richard Osman sent it viral all over again after watching Channel 4 show, Snackmasters.
Watching them trying to recreate a KFC on #Snackmasters right now. It has reminded me that you should check out the accounts that @kfc follows. It’s a very good gag.
All this KFC business reminded us of this fabulous takedown of a woman who complained about its lack of meat free alternatives.
And this, a memorable misunderstanding about the KFC logo shared on Twitter.
My wife just confessed that for her entire childhood she thought Colonel Sanders bow tie was his whole body and now I cant stop seeing a tiny stick body every time I look at him. pic.twitter.com/qVad6t93SA
