KFC recently released an ad that many view as mocking Christianity and baptism in particular – and now the restaurant is getting Kentucky fried by commenters online.
The two-minute ad, entitled ‘BELIEVE PART 2: ALL HAIL GRAVY’, features a man getting submerged into a lake of gravy in what many commenters understood as a parody and mockery of the religious rite of baptism.
Now, KFC and angry Christians online are playing chicken – and neither side is backing down.
A Gravy Misfire?
The ad is undoubtedly strange, depicting a lost man in the woods following a chicken, which leads him to a group of cultists. The cultists carry a giant golden egg to a glistening river of gravy, where the man is picked up and dunked into it by one of the cult members.
He emerges not as a man… but as a drumstick.
The ad may be surreal, but is it offensive? Yes, at least if the reaction online is anything to go off of. In the wake of the ad’s debut, KFC is facing an internet backlash not seen since the time they discontinued the Famous Bowl.
Demonic Drumstick?
“Creepy and demonic,” is how one YouTube user described the ad in a comment which received thousands of likes. “This was all sorts of Satanic,” stated a different commenter. “Now, I am not 100% religious, but I recognize the Devil when I see him…” added another. At the heart of countless comments was the same sentiment: “Too Satanic, never eating KFC again.”
Comment after comment, each with thousands of likes, blasting the ad as an offensive mockery of Christianity, and the rite of baptism in particular. And that’s not all: The ad’s been accused of promoting everything from cultism, to idol worship, and even cannibalism.
And yet amidst those seemingly endless accusations, some of the complaints leveraged against the chicken giant remain age-old grievances. “Yall spent 2.5 Million on this commercial,” wrote one user, ”just for the gravy to taste like the soles of my goddamned boots.”
Finger Lickin’ Blasphemy
The ad was intended to be provocative and memorable, but they didn’t set out to offend the faithful, the company claims. It was intended simply as a “modern-day fable.” So far, it seems like the fable may not be resonating with audiences in the way KFC hoped.
Hundreds of complaints have been filed at the UK’s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). “We’re currently assessing these to establish whether there are grounds for further action,” stated an ASA spokesperson. “But just to be clear, we’ve not launched an investigation at this stage.”
KFC wanted to “bring an entertaining antidote to this dull, chaotic world,” explains Monica Silic, chief marketing officer of KFC U.K. and Ireland. "This is about inspiring the fandom. We’re clear on having a role in culture, which is to bring some lightness and levity to the chaotic world through the truth of our product."
The ad sought to push creative boundaries, but it seems it may not have pushed in the direction KFC wanted – at least if the backlash is anything to go by. Yet as the negative reactions to the ad keep rolling in, KFC is standing firm, and so far has refused to back down on the controversial campaign.
What is your reaction to KFC’s new ‘Believe’ ad? Is the ad outrageous, or is the response overblown?

Let go of your pearls. The ad is not mocking anything. It's art. Not all art is good. Art is in the mind of the artist and the eye of the beholder. From crappy to magnificent, art is subjective. If you think it sucks go look at something else. Find yourself a pretty picture, statue, song, I don't know what but move on.

Ok, not sure what they saw, all I know is I wasted 2 min and 5 sec of my life I'll never get back for a stupid commercial that made no sense let alone make me hungry and want to rush to get some KFC. When actually made me not want to go to KFC at all. We can all put that on tune top 5 stupidest commercials message so far this year. No wonder they are closing KFC's here.

Christians who self-identify as “right of center, or evangelistic” aggressively oppose the use of birth control— because pregnancy is supposed to be a punishment for those not intending to give birth nine months after each and every sexual encounter. And now, under the present political administration— if I oppose such oppression to the use of birth control— I’m automatically labeled anti-Christian??? As an ordained ULC minister, with two DD’s, this is greatly disturbing.

When one mocks God, His works or the ceremony of Baptism they are playing with fire and Satan is lighting the matches.

Why are people shocked at Satan's antics, he's the power of the air and the original deception has happened when he through a pagan church changed God's holy Sabbath and started changing times and dates to the lunar calendar and God said to go by solar. ,Satan is master of confusion ,just look at All the false religions that's turned unbelievers into denying Christ all together , and it's gonna get worse , our commission is to teach the upcoming Kingdom ,and the belief in our Savior , we are joint heirs to eternal life , your choice

I'll venture that 99% of Christians in the US have not seen this commercial and those who have don't care about it. This is mostly a false controversy, an excuse for some here to mock Christians.In reality it's a non issue for most people. My own "Christian" perspective is that it's just another worthless, crappy commercial. It's not clever or particularly well done. It deserves to be ignored like most commercials.

Danielle Elizabeth Ostach
It is a definately parody ad of the original baptism. Whether it is offensive or not is for each person to decide for themselves. I just think it is just a very bad ad. It is too confusing, to complex, too weird to truly sell the product. Someone should be fired for incompetence over it in MY VIEW.
As for me being offended, I was raised jewish and tell lots of jewish jokes, I was (am still am a little) interested in being a lawyer and I make lawyer jokes. I am currently in IT and I tell lots and lots of IT jokes. You have to learn to laugh at yourself. so laugh at the parody of concept and raise a fuss about the poor quality of commercial in hopes they never repeat it.

Can we say "Snowflakes"? The commercial was silly, and it was not mocking baptism. If anything, the guy probably loves KFC that he wished he was a chicken whatever that part was. And if anything, it was about loaves and fishes from the Sermon on the Mount. That one guy, er fried chicken piece was going to feed that hungry horde. Get a sense of humor, folks!

So, wait, is comedy allowed to mock things without people trying to shut it down, or not? I seem to recall that the general and loudest consensus was that comedy is expected to be offensive and it's unfair to be offended at it. Isn't that the whole issue with "cancel culture"? We can't have it both ways. Either it's bad for comedians to mock trans people AND Christian rituals, or it's okay for both because comedy. People need to make up their dang minds.

You can read anything in that KFC ad or dismiss it as nonsense and a waste of advertising money. I choose to ignore it. However, that is just one person's opinion. I am also happy that we don't all think alike and have various degrees of thoughts.

I'm not saying that I was offended...just...confused. Was that supposed to make me want to eat chicken? swim in a river of gravy? invest in egg futures? I lilke KFC--had it for dinner last weekend...Original recipe is my favorite! I went and found part 1--it's just as strange--no sign of fried chicken anywhere....and still...not sure if they want me to buy the chicken? I am wondering if there is going to be a part 3...

I understand why people find this ad offensive. The ad in my opinion does attacks on Christianity. Kfc is owned by Kashi foods, the owners of Kashi foods are Muslims. I have some friends and family who work there. The owners are not very friendly to the Christianity way of life. My hopes and prayers are for a peaceful discussion on this advertisement issue with the owners of KFC so we can come to a mutual understanding to remedy the situation. Thanks for reading my thoughts, God bless you all .
-
Patricia Carol Nordby
FYI, Kashi does not own KFC. KFC is owned by Yum which is a publicly traded company. Perhaps your friends work for a franchise that is owned by Muslims.
-
Susan Joyce Sheley
Christopher Wade Lubic thank you for this explanation. NO more KFC for me. This was a politically motivated commercial against Christianity.
-
Danielle Elizabeth Ostach
KFC is publicly own and traded but doesn't mean they are for or against Christianity. Most people seeing this ad on TV aren't likely to remember the bible enough to be offended, they will just see the confusing imagery, the dark pictures, the strangeness and go ugh, another poor ad and wait for their show to continue.

KFC ok’ed an ad that certainly adds a new dimension to the concept of creepiness, an ad that lacks any uplifting/positive message regarding their product, and a video format and soundtrack that is probably better suited for a dystopian video game, however this corporate stupidity does not rise to the level of blasphemy.
Let’s reserve that description for those politicians and citizens who claim to be “good” Christians/Jews/Muslims/Buddhists/Hindus/etc. who do not speak up against (or worse, speak out in support of) child poverty, Americans going hungry, Americans lacking access to healthcare, the abduction of citizens and individuals who are in this country legally from their homes and our streets, the Congressional and Senate members who have abdicated their responsibility to be a check and balance for the Executive branch (yet continue receiving their paychecks, health insurance, and stipends), the disregard of the current Executive branch for judicial rulings, and DOGE’s cannibalism of vital federal programs (education, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, cyber security).
KFC certainly made a very bad marketing decision with their new ad but please note - They are not what threatens the United States at this moment in time.

Robert F. Denk Jr
Being a Pagan I have to say the commercial is weird and hilarious. Probably the not the best choice for KFC but then, everyone commenting here or otherwise engaged in the back and forth will remember it for a long time. I personally do not eat KFC but I think Christians need to get over themselves. That which is, was and always will be could not care less about the silly things we do.
-
Dan Prowse
I'm just going to say that creators who use artificial intelligence that much need to go back to the drawing board and start using actual intelligence.
Yeah, I criticized creative people.
That is the most bizarre non-commercial I have ever seen. And I've seen bizarre, especially the ones that have been banned from the super bowl, this looks like one of those ads that would be banned from a super bowl.
Try to wrap my head around that big egg idea.
I understand the baptism in fry oil but, that is not clean fry oil at all, it does not do KFC any justice.
No justice, no piece of chicken.

KFC is garbage fast food so their ads need to reflect this. If you like their advertising then buy their crap if you’re offended then close your wallet. If you support or fuss about this you need other things to do with your time.

A true Christian won’t give the ad a second thought. It’s a silly commercial that doesn’t turn believers into mindless zombies that believe they can be turned into a drumstick.

It's just an ad. Playful and creative. Many people who hate having their religion mocked are the same ones who mock everyone else's religion, calling people godless, heathen, sinners, and on and on and on. They are NOT in favor of religious freedom, they are in favor of religious privilege and "Christian" nationalism (which is in NO way Christian!).

If I were to see this ad on TV, I doubt that it screams KFC, which if I'm not mistaken, is a "fail" in the advertising business. If you don't completely think about the company being advertised when you see anything that resembles the ad afterwards, you did not hit the mark. The alternative, is something that generates a culture shift, like "where's the beef" Wendy's ad, or "two all beef patties, special sauce..." for McDonald's Big Mac.
I have seen a dramatic shift in the last couple of years of very provocative ads, and very few of them, even after viewing them several time, do I know what is being advertised. For example, there was an ad that showed several icons of various brands floating around in a psychedelic mist that didn't seem to fit together. It took at least ten views of this ad before I realized it was for a grocery delivery service. That is a fail also considering the millions of dollars they pay for these ads. What concerns me more, is that the advertising prices are also reflected in the cost of the products. I thought KFC was in a bankruptcy position, so how can they afford an ad like this?
-
Stella L. Wright
It was definitely weird, but I doubt that the person who wrote this commercial or KFC gave a thought to our Christian beliefs or pearl clutching. They were all about attracting customers and money. Frankly, I think this commercial missed the mark by a very wide margin and really had nothing to do with real people who want some fried chicken for dinner! I'll bet this commercial doesn't stay up long.

As ULC members, who are we to call "blasphemy" if we welcome all religions into our fold? Some topics require thicker skin and better understanding. I personally enjoy the humor in religion.
-
Ari Joseph Bertine
I'm beginning to doubt that ULC is as welcoming as it claims. These articles are all geared toward riling up a Christian audience, with no consideration ever given to understanding other religions as is supposed to be a very important tenet of ULC. I'm continually disappointed in the dogmatic, fanatical responses I see here from people who have not put any effort into examining other religions, and don't see any need to. Why even join ULC if not Universal?

Patricia Sydney Solis
People of faith would not be phased by this, but clearly it’s triggered some who have a lot of unconscious doubt. Seen the movie Heretic? Great commentary on what is faith, it’s all about what you believe that’s why they call it make believe! And it’s all about control. People get threatened by the reality that they submit to an authoritarian figure and some people just squirm at that thought, but can’t quite bring it to consciousness. Glad KFC is stirring the pot.

Michael Benjamin Roberts
As America is quickly being converted to a White Christian Nationalist form of government as directed by The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, strident offense to any religious gesture (no matter how stupid or silly) will rule both the day and the country. We are all forcibly being plunged head first into a Christian brand of Sharia-like Laws. Laws governing speech and free thought about Liberty and Justice for all are being put in place faster than you can say “pass the gravy”.

Margaret Nadine Katona
Ewwweee… this is such a creepy and weird “shock value” commercial that leads one to read into it what their inner dogma teachings, gut reactions dictate. It was too “way out there” like a zombie movie: as opposed to a food commercial. Honoring a golden egg with dipping a sacrificial offering into gravy??? Seems more like a bad trip from eating those forest mushrooms in that terrain. Definitely turned me off from patronizing KFC!
-
Father Flanagan
Even if it does mock your made up religion - who cares? We can’t make fun of christianity? Are they muslim-like with their religion? We know they used the same “convert or die” policy for a long time so they are extremely similar in that aspect. If your god is offended then it will do something about it, this is AMERICA, we have the first amendment and anyone hurt or offended by mere words or nonsensical images on tv need to get over themselves!

I always wondered, how do we really know what kind of meat china is selling us. How much human does it contain I wonder. When a human falls in the grinder, do they just keep producing beef jerky or whatever's in the blender.

It is really stretching it to call it mocking baptism. He was a lost chicken piece the whole time, and the gravy revealed his true self. Lots of people dunk their KFC in gravy. Subtlety is lost on those who want to always be offended.

If you have to explain it to the masses, then the commercial didn't work. Millions of dollars down the drain, for what? A price hike to cover the losses, or to speed up the bankruptcy process.

It’s a totally bizarre ad, but it’s no more pro-cannibalism than the Eucharist ritual… In fact, I think they should hand out chicken nuggets as the Eucharist wafers… There’s something definitely off about this commercial, but it has nothing to do with religion…

Wow... some people will grind any ax... and this is one scores a 98% on my "most petty" scale.
A fried chicken commercial depicting someone being dipped in gravy? That has a lot less to do with bathing or pruification rituals than something ...sensual... something thick...and greasy...and "bad" for you... that you can dip your "man" in and then...well. it's finger lickin' good...
Please. Those that doth protest are either Idiots, imbeciles, or morons... or simply jealous because they weren't something anyone wanted to dip.
Peace out... tk

I don’t understand why KFC thought this was a good commercial in the first place. The guy got submerged in a lake of gravy and came out as a fried chicken leg. It was blasphemy, it was just stupid. I don’t recall anything about baptism involving gravy and chicken legs. Any Christian should be able to tell the difference. You just want to get mad at something.
And… ATTENTION ALL CHRISTIANS: Not everything is about you. I was one of you until you drove me away. You are not under attack, and your religious freedom is not in jeopardy. The Book of Magic/Incantations/Fairy Tales and Fables was written by men who said God was sending them messages. They are not unlike the men of today. Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, did not receive a message from God telling him he was the modern-day Moses. That was his ego, not unlike the men who wrote the bible.
Christians are not being arrested for praying. You are not being told to stop practicing your religion.Churches are not being given cease and desist orders. Being asked to stop telling the rest of us how to live is not an attack. It’s telling you to mind your own business. You claim to support a parent's right to decide what their children can learn and then scream child abuse because another parent wants to teach their child something different. Stop being hypocritical, and maybe we can all live in peace. Just my two cents.

Seems, actually, that Druids and shamans would have a more legitimate gripe. But either they're not tied to a vengeful god like a certain collection of Christian flavors is, or they have a sense of humor, or they're just too dignified to bother jumping into such a ludicrous fray.

The attack against Christians and the VP has started and this is just the start. With our Christian VP Vance saying EDUCATION IS THE ENEMY this is how the educated are responding. Wait didn't Vance go to Yale to get educated? Now he wants to attack the instruction who educated him?
-
ServantOfJudgement
I don't remember seeing or hearing Vance say Education is The Enemy.
I listen to NPR every day and if anyone would play that sound bite they would.
In other news Kamala Harris said "Education is The Enemy". It was weird to hear an educated person say that. Why would she attack the institution who educated her.
-
Danny D. Maynard
He said: "Professors are the enemy". Logically, since they control the classroom, the Professors give the education material to the students in many forms. Thus, Professors are Education. Using Logical Transitivity, VP Vance has said the equivalent of "Education is the enemy."
-
ServantOfJudgement
That's more like it Danny. I agree with Vance, that is from most universities anyway. Education by psychopaths is the enemy. Way way better.
I know a young gal that went off to a university some years back. I warned her that she'd be programmed to think how the professors think. As the youth will do, she thought that was absurd.
Yep, sure enough, she came back with a new head. She doesn't know she's a different person now. Benjamin Franklin said " When you've done your job right nobody will know you've done anything at all".
The nice thing is I've got a hive mind drone to study now.

Is there a good reason why religion shouldn't be mocked?

I know it's sounds silly, but I'm serious. I personally don't think it will ever catch on.....right? 🤭

Lionheart, have you read the works of Joseph Campbell ? The virgin birth of the hero / savior is a common and recurring story throughout human mythologies.

Right. Christians just stole the story from other religons.

No reason at all lionheart. It builds character.
That said consider these mathematic fun facts:
If we consider lifespan and prime age for childbirth based on the woman surviving childbirth and lifespan in ancient days, we get 14-24 as prime chances of survival childbirth with puberty beginning around 10. Women didn't often live past 35 years old.
Proportionally strictly on age, today 14 years equates to 26 years old and girls that get pregnant at 18 today would equate to roughly 8 years old for the ancients. Today girls do start puberty around 8 years in contrast to the ancient's 10 years old
One must wonder, is modern society filled with child molesters and perverts, proportionally speaking? Our females seem to be devolving back into monkeys that can breed in just a few years. Evidence of this can be seen by watching very high profile old men touching and smelling very young girls on international television. Nobody seems to mind I've noticed.

Humans are reverting back to their wild animal behaviors due to overpopulation destroying the normal psychological environment our species depends on to be sane. We are not meant to be gathering by the thousands, crammed into each other's personal space, with noise blaring into our ears all day and our entire lives dictated by each other's schedules. There are too many of us and any social animal that is trapped in an overpopulated environment will start ignoring the social niceties that make group coexistance work well because they are in desperate competition to have their biological needs met. So you have males deprived of meaningful social engagement and much-needed companionship from each other, raised to believe that the only intimacy and comfort they are allowed must come from sex, which results in abnormal obsession with sex. It's not like the females of the species have a say in when they are impregnated, as a general rule. In some mammals, exposure to pheromones produced by adult males who are not the biological father causes earlier puberty, which means that the perverts who are sniffing around the young girls may actually be causing them to go through puberty younger. Not to mention our diet just sucks and who knows what sort of chemicals and hormones are in our food affecting our bodies.
Humans are designed to live in groups maxing out at about 150 individuals. Anything beyond that and our ability to function normally and behave in ways that promote harmony and health starts to deteriorate. We have cities that house millions. It's not hard to see that our cages have become far too crowded and we've turned on ourselves, just like rats do in an overcrowded cage. Watching a rat colony, you can see at nearly the exact point they lose empathy for one another. I wonder at which point we lost ours? Wars between nations seem to have started occurring as soon as there were nations...enough of us together and we are right back acting like wild apes, killing each other's females and infants.

I am so glad you are here to point out statistical mathematical knowledge. Interestingly, the youngest person know to have ever given birth was Lina Medina living in Peru, giving birth to a boy when she was 5 years old. This woman is still alive at age 91. Her son passed away many years ago. I somehow don’t think her son was the result of an immaculate conception from a deity. 🤭

Wow, didn't know that fun fact! Amazing but sad for the girl I bet. If we crunch the numbers though, a 5 year old girl today is equivalent to a 2.5 year old in ancient biblical times.
The more I crunch these numbers the more I realize they're not very socially interchangeable. That said it is looking like my theory that female humans are devolving is looking good. Maybe good enough to call fact. As of now they're within the baboon's breed ready age. Not bad. Smaller monkeys and marmosets would be the next stop for the devolved among us. They can crank em out at the 2.5 year mark.

It makes perfect sense if your whole world consisted of chicken and gravy in a forest. What else would you know? Even negative publicity is good publicity. So Christians keep griping and sell that chicken for them.

That is totally bizarre. Why would anyone want to eat a man-no a chicken leg-no a man-chicken leg dipped in a lake of gravy where fish, mud, bugs live? I can't even wrap my head around this....Who thought this up?
