The fact that Condiment King wasn’t in either of these comics was a missed opportunity.
If they had put Condiment King in it, they would have to also put in Kite Man. They are rivals in the Gotham D list Villains.
Also another missed opportunity was a reference to Bat-Burger
@@dallasgrey4247 I wonder if we could've gotten our biscuits jokerized
A missed opportunity, condiment king would fight the colonel with spicy barbecue sauce blast and the colonel would blind him with his eleven herbs and spices
Didn´t think of that!
That would have been silly, they are taking this waaay too serious for that
The Chicken Colonel is extremely disconcerting. Either he sells his own kind as food or he sells Kentucky Fried Humans
maybe he sells Kentucky Fried Corn?
@@pengwin_ one can only hope
I thought about it and got it. He´s from a cousin planet of Xudar (Tomar-Re species). Like how Daxam is a cousin planet of Krypton. So they must sell their own version of chicken.
When I was a kid Kentucky Fried Chicken had Foghorn Leghorn in their commercials. Then at another point in time (don't remember which was first) they had their own character called (IIRC) KC Chicken.
Chickens are well known cannibals, so it's the first opition
"Frying chicken... The hard way," sounds like an intro to the worst adult film ever.
dont give them any ideas
"Finger Licking Good". Now I'm starting to wonder if KFC has always been trying to be sexually suggestive. Makes me wonder if some exec is saying "Damn they still aren't getting our sly word play. If this one doesn't work, we're just going to skip to "eat our chicken while you F***"".
As someone who has 100% finished "I Love You, Colonel Sanders," I appreciated these crossovers.
That game is far more fun than it has any right to be lol
Everyone: OMG, Superman was mentioned in the Eternals trailer! Maybe they'll meet!
Sasha: KFC/DC crossover!
Only one of those choices is finger-licking good.
MAN, I want that “Apokolickin’ Good” issue to happen now. Colonel Sanders whooping Darkseid’s butt would be fun to see. Do it, DC!
Comics, KFC and Casually Comics discussing both of them. My life is complete.
The most powerful DC character, the man who wants to advertise on the Source Wall, Colonel Sanders.
(I used to confuse Kernel, with Colonel... So I was a big dummy)
I see that your outfit is Sanders color theme based, but I see Northstar and Aurora, that one Mod Kate Bishop outfit, or Ben 10's Diamondhead suit fit.
As someone who's first language is french, you don't look like a dummy to me. I mean, it's spelled c-o-l-o, not k-e-r or anything. Why should we say it as if there was an r in there and where did that L go? It doesn't really make sense with the way the word is written.
And I shall be his sidekick: Poutine Boy.
Presumably in the version of the Earth where Canada conquered the USA in the War of 1812 (though in that version you'd imagine it would be Poutine Man and Chicken Boy)!
Oh hell yeah. I love these books!
I demand enough for at least a small trade paperback...preferably an omnibus lol
Is this a crossover of my two favourite comic book youtubers?!? 🥺
Im in the feels I love both your channels 🖤🖤🖤
There were 3 RadioShack DC comics starring the Whiz Kids Alex and I think the girl's name was Shanna they crossed over with Superman in the first one, Superman and Supergirl in the second, and Superman and Wonder Woman in the third. They taught the history of the computer from the 1940's to the beginning of the personal computer contemporary at that time. Have you ever read them? Could you do a show on them. There was another Whiz Kids comic only through RadioShack I think. It just had them in it with no super heroes😢 in it. No DC bullet on the cover. The stories were entertaining.
Are you aware there's a Lifetime romance movie called "A Recipe for Seduction" with Mario Lopez as Colonel Sanders? I know movies aren't your focus here, but thought it was at least worth mentioning in case.
At least the comics kept true to the character as a whole...that movie, though possibly the most ridiculous thing I ever enjoyed watching on a loop, took liberties so broad it loops through parody and becomes serious, or as serious as the genre it itself is parodying *as part of that genre.* I have a friend who works for the Daytime Emmys and I asked her, at the time it came out, if she thought it could be nominated and the only disqualifying aspect was its length, I believe it either without credits was too short and with credits might be too long...and they actually left the door open for a sequel, which makes me laugh and cringe at the same time LMAO
Wait what. There's NO way this is real.
@@EmrysMerlin8807 Which 'this' are you referring to, the comics or the TV movie? LOL
@@fredrickbeondo8695 The TV movie, which my wife has since confirmed for me is a real thing... I'm still processing this information, and it was confirmed for me 6 days ago.
@@EmrysMerlin8807 If you are interested in seeing it, let me know...though if your wife confirmed it, she probably already showed it to you LOL
Sasha's southern accent makes every other accent sit down. Also will Sasha ever talk about that panel from a What If? where Alpha Flight talks like stereotypical Canadians? I need to hear that accent. Give me all the accents!
For a Cannuck she does a good job with it.
If I had a penny for Everytime DC did a KFC comic I'd have 3 pennies.................... It's not a lot but it's weird that it happened 3 times
Larfleeze stealing all the Zingers tickles me in a way i was not expecting and it's probably the funniest thing I've heard all day
"apoko-lickin'-good" oh my god I need that in my life!
Darkseid vs. KFS.
Imagine the KFC being so good that it brings about a temporary truce between Apokolips and New Genesis. Imagine Darkseid, Highfather, and their sons all sitting down to dinner together. Imagine Kalibak hogging all the mashed potatoes and gravy.
Starbucks: [In game of thrones season 8] we have THE most on the nose product placement
KFC: hold my chicken
The zingers was discontinued in the US a while back so I'd definitely be like larfleeze and just hoard them if I could
Lol we still have them I didn't know they got phased out in the States
The whole "I shouldn't overthink why Evil Colonel is the way he is" idea is exactly what trips me up with characters like Bizarro. Seemingly every writer is working with a slightly different sets of rules which affects his dialogue and choices but I can never figure out what they are.
Bizarro being inconsistent actually makes sense, in a meta way.
@@thereseemstobeenanerror1219 fair point
@@thereseemstobeenanerror1219 I think part of the inconsistency is cause they dont comit to that side of the character. Like, hes either a flying brick or and idiot that mess things up caue he lives backwards. And i think theres more that can be done with the concept of a backwards Superman. Like the last time i saw him he wanted time to stop moving forward and repeat the same moment over and over. Thats clever. Supermans the man of tomorrow, so of course Bizarro is the man of the present.
@@pedrovallefin8406
Wouldn't that make Bizarro the "Man Of The Past."
To contrast Superman's "Man Of Tomorrow."
@@thereseemstobeenanerror1219 You would think so, and it sorta starts that way with him not getting used to the advancement of tecnology, but he starts repiting the same moment over and over after he enjoys expending time with his son and wishes that could last forever. And i think that makes most sense with Superman character. Im not sure how the "man of tomorrow" tagline started, but nowadays its mostly about how he shows humanity the way towards a better tomorrow. He dosent lead us there, he signals the way and hopes we go forward ourselves. And he will protect us along the way. So Superman dosent activally moves towards the future, he just hopes for it to come. Similary, Bizarro shouldnt activally be moving backwards to be his oposite. The proper oposite would be to not move at all. Cause he dosent wants to move. He lives in the present to tye extreme and refuses to sought any other way. Hence, being the "man of the present".
Never have I laughed so hard at Larfleeze hoarding Zingers. Not since him trying to find Santa Claus in Brightest Day.
Sasha declaring herself a 'man of culture' makes my life complete...and also confirms her CZcams search history
Having just watched The Loved Ones again, this opening with finger licking anything was horrifying. Appropriately Halloweeny.
Had no clue these existed before this but I'm happy they're being addressed lol
Ya Boi Zack: Arby’s
Perch: Anti-Arby’s, and throws Olive Garden in a dumpster full of stale breadsticks
Sasha: *KFC* (but not their actual chicken)
Comics in 2021, you have lost your way somewhere
"These are the questions that you asked BEFORE you bring people over from the multiverse!" 😂
"It's like The One with Jet Li, only instead of killing each other, they're going and getting more people so that they can make some chicken." Now I totally want to see that movie.
I am obsessed that you said "at time of recording" because you know DC and KFC are not finished
DC needs to follow up with a
Batman KFC teem up
In a detective mystery.
Title -The Foul herb 🖖
With Penguin being the additional guest villain.
"Holy 1966 Batman, it's finger licking evil!"
I would like to commend Sasha's editing skills for the KFC/Crocks segment.
Two words: "KFC Metal"
I want to see Colonel Sanders fight an Odin-like guitar player version of himself... maybe he rides a feathered t-rex or something, whatever is the most ridiculous BS a writter can come up for an advertisiment
This shouldn't work but for some weird reason it does.
Sasha's southern accent is on point.
Also not having Condiment King in any of these books is disappointing.
Ooh, I remember reading these a few years back. It didn't get me to eat any KFC but I really enjoyed them.
Apoko-lickin good is just a retelling of Santa's once-a-year war with Darkseid only in this case Darkseid has banned KFCs on Apokolipse and the Col. wages war (and wins) and so gets to open a KFC there.
It's owned and operated by Mister Miracle and Big Barda and has a second location on New Genesis. Also Granny is permabanned.
Martian Manhunter's chair of HyDrox cookies is my favorite product placement.
*reads title*
Me: The what?
Speaking of clever KFC marketing: Back in 2017 they changed their distributor in Britain. Ditching the company that had done it for ages. Putting it out to tender. And naturally they went for the bid that undercut all the others.
Unions warned them that getting rid of people who had done it for a long time and knew what they were doing, in favour of someone who had no experience but just promised to do it cheap was all going go wrong.
But they went ahead and did it.
And within days, KFCs all over had run out of supplies.
KFC put out a full page ad in newpapers which contained a long apology, and at the top had a picture of an empty KFC bucket, underneath the letters: FCK.
Well it made me laugh.
It's too bad this was the DC universe and not Marvel. I really want to see the Coronal sending a bunch of Zingers into space just to feed Galactius.
Harland Sanders became an "honorary Colonel of Fried Chicken" due to his restaurant's popularity. Also love the Zinger
I Need some Kentucky Fried Justice, “ Bring Back The Hot Wings”
Am I the only one who finds the Chicken Colonel and his ready participation troubling on a variety of levels?
guess you gonna have to do the Kool Aid Marvel comics now...
I definitely said "koll-o-nell". Also, I thought there was a word "Chah-ohse," which I kept reading in comics, not to be confused with "kay-oss," the word I kept hearing in cartoons.
As soon as I saw this, I was like I need these in my lol! So I now have them! Thank you for doing this video Sasha! This made my day lol! Although my favorite chicken place is Popeye's. I love promotional crossovers, because most of the time the are an insane and fun break from the standard.
I really like KFC. I met Colonel Sanders when I was 4 when they were sit down restaurants with actual plates and flatwear.That being said you can imagine my chagrin at not knowing these existed until watching your show today. It was really fun! I have a new set of grails to search for. Your shows are always so fun thanks for doing them!
Krispy Kreme: Blatant ads are our thing
KFC: Hal hold down rush hour
Spiderman used to hang out at the 7-11 stores in 80's comic books.
They should’ve included Green Arrow! Imagine it. Two highly cultivated Goatees, locked in combat! Winner squares off with Earth X’s Uncle Sam. Missed opportunity all around.
Reminds me of the Hostess Twinkie and pies comic strip ads in Marvel and DC.
I read them as corny as they were.
Always ends with Hulk or Batman eating Twinkies recovered by some villian.
That's fantastic! Reminds me of the KFC episode on Community. I would love to see Colonel Sanders eventually rehabilitate all the villains by having them work in his restaurants. Doomsday, Anti Monitor, the Batman who laughs, all of them
Would the Anti-Monitor be in his original size? Or in his final from? Cause he wouldnt fit in a restaurant then. Unless is some sort of cosmic KFC were the Anti-Monitor gives back to the multiverse as penance for his crimes by selling them finger-licking good chicken.
@@pedrovallefin8406 YEESSSS! Just imagine the size of his T Shirt and Hat! Perfection.
This is why one should not be too adherent to the "official canon"!
Okay so me and my coworker where talking about me fighting food mascots and one of the mascot was sanders and I admitted I’ll loose the fight because
“He’ll throw grease in my eyes and beat me with a frozen chicken 😂😂😂😂😂
Now I want to see a comic where Colonel Sanders fights the Amazing Hero Cows.
Thank you so much!!!
Can't watch the video right now because I'm out and want to enjoy it. Later, I'll leave a full message. For now I just wanted to thank you, more than for the shout out, for taking the time of reading the comic and doing the video.
I don´t remember how I came to know about these comics but I have heard they were good...for what they offered in content. And I did enjoy them. As you said, they put quite an effort into this. Heck, the art itself is better that what we sometimes find in current comics.
As for the 3 issues, I prefer the third. Maybe because GL (Hal) is my favorite superhero and he was front and center.
And I do love KFC and Popeye´s. They´re my favorite!
PS
Again, thank you for the effort you put into making this video. I personally didn´t know about those other ad campaigns.
Greetings from a Puerto Rican in Spain and grateful for your content as it´s a highlight in my day and makes me enjoy my comic book readings more every single time.
This is amazing! I wouldn’t of known about this if you didn’t cover it. Thank you! 😂💜🙌
Some friends of mine used to live in this farm-compound kinda out in the woods near Saginaw, Oregon with a bunch of punks and freaks and metal-heads, and most of them were musical and artistic and they wrote and performed this BRILLIANT DIY Rock Opera called The Kenny Rogers Rock Opera. It was the story of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, except it was Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, and the Devil was Colonel Sanders! It was amazing and was really good enough to have taken on tour or Off-Broadway, but to my knowledge it was only performed once, though it was filmed. The Director of the film, Tim Lewis, was a long time friend, and at the time I was the Night Manager of a small two-screen Art Cinema in Eugene called The Bijou. The Bijou used to be a church and also a mortuary before it became a movie theater, but that's a different story. Tim asked me if I would do an after hours screening of the film for the cast and crew, knowing that I often had after hours screenings with friends, and I agreed, thinking that it was going to be like 20 people. Except around 250 people showed up! The theater only sat like 99 people plus another 8-10 in the balcony. They were sitting on each other's laps and filling all the aisles (totally against fire code!) and about 35 people crammed into the balcony (I worried that it might collapse under the weight, but they built things to last back in the early 20th century) Everyone had a 40 or a bottle of Evan Williams. Bowls and joints were passed around. I thought I would definitely be in trouble, but the screening went off without a hitch! Everyone was very polite and well behaved, and cleaned up after themselves. One person puked, but they made it out into the courtyard and did it in the bushes! My boss never found out (until she reads this lol) and the cops never came. What an amazing night that was!
I'm glad I found you again. Been missing you from top 10 nerd, but love what you're doing here.
I really enjoyed this video! The only question I have - for DC writers and editors - is why Wonder Woman is not in this series? I mean, I know she worked on another franchise selling burgers and actually I rewatched your video on that arc in Wonder Woman's title, and it came to thoughts, What if... sorry, wrong universe... Why didn't they do an "Elseworlds" story where there's a face off between the Colonel Sander from earth three and Diana, the main earth's Wonder Woman, while trying to recrute her for his evil franchise? It's just and idea.
I look forward to the Colonel teaming up with Superman to bring chicken to Apokolips.
Does the KFC comics take place in the silver age multiverse? Because Earth 1 has not been the main universe since 1985.
I once read a comic along these lines that involved the Transformers meeting a mascot for disposable razors.
Darkseid would learn that the 11 herbs and spices were a key component of the anti-life equation.
Why have I never heard of these before? I love everything about this 🤣
Sasha, your presentation of this was very entertaining. Also, I feel the cows from the 'Eat more chikn' commercials are secretly backing the Colonel.
I've always believed there were 11 secret ingredients in the Anti-Life Equation.
You review some amazing comics that I haven't run across in over 50 years of reading. Well done!
You're colonel impersonation definitely made me laugh lol.
KFC, while absolutely disgusting, has the best viral marketing team on the planet 🤣🤣🤣
Found this a little late, but I remember a Superman/Radio Shack issue shilling their TRS-80 personal computer. Some villain does something to muddle Superman's ability to do math so two school kids use their TRS-80 to help him do things like calculate how much heat vision to use to evaporate a flash flood without setting the city on fire.
This was surreal. Great video!
I remember back when Buster Brown shoes would include a mini Tor comic book with the shoes and had some character Buster Brown comics that would feature some of the earlier superheroes.
Changing the music so YT doesn't fry you...
I see what you did there and I am here for it.
DC staff: Let's make a series of comic books featuring Colonel Sanders.
Pepsiman: Am I a joke to you?
I'll be honest: the Quik Bunny comic was one of the first comics I ever read. I was kid (about 10 years old or so?) and was at a friends house. The comic was lying around and I read it while everyone else was doing some other things.
There was an epic KFC episode of the sitcom Community. I recommend it (and the show in general).
This is delightful. It's the silliest most fun thing I've seen in a while out of the comics industry, especially DC's side.
Your look today is on-point. So topical!
This was just so horrid, in a can't look away kind of way, that I watched ten minutes before I remembered I needed to put the rest of my dinner into the oven.
They killed the potato wedges for boring normal french fries. The Colonel would roll right out of the "11 herbs and spices" dredge.
First 👍🏾Lester for recommending you do this Vid on this trilogy, & for you for doing it Sasha. Next although this really has nothing to do with them when I was on vacation in Kauai, Hawaii where there are a lot of wild chickens running around the island, while I sitting outside of a Hilo Hattie store waiting for the wife to finish shopping, I saw some of those wild chickens running toward a KFC & thought it was Hilarious “ KFC Chicken So Good, Chickens Are Rushing Too Get In Them”… Favorite product placement in comics GI JOE comics period which just like their cartoons are All Product Placement
Thank you so much Rodney! And I´m glad you enjoyed the video. For me Sasha´s videos not only bring me joy overall but even as a comic book fan, I sometimes feel letdown by them yet once I watch Sasha brings back in me the happiness of going back to them.
PS
Funny your story. Did the chicken came out? O_O
Never made it into the restaurant, LOL…keep giving Sasha those Fun Ideas
Good to know I'm not the only one that talks to their comics. That moment when you said "Stop him Hal!" Had me laughing hard. I react the same way when reading something like that 🤣
THANK YOU for introducing this. I didn't even know this was a thing. The stories rock and I can't wait to dive into the universe of KFC. I'm glad someone else shares the love of KFC!! Me...I'm stuck with it - I'm Col. Bob Sanders, yes originally from Kentucky!! (I've waited my whole life for this to have meaning - if you couldn't tell!!)
KFC always makes me sick, but your Kentucky Fried accent is definitive, and needs to be showcased more often.
Aw. This reminds me of the recent loss to the Earth-Prime Colonel Corps: Norm MacDonald. :(
GOD, I love this channel GREAT topic!
Anyone remember those American Express ads where Patrick Warburton voiced Superman?
Colonel Sanders was a real person who had a major falling out with KFC before his death over the way they used (or didn't use) his recipes and how they treated his image. That kind of makes him an ideal character for DC comics in a way.
The Church of the Algorithm gives this video its blessing, and must it stay clear of the blasphemers from The First Algorithmic Temple (and the many people impersonating their members).
KFC has huge nostalgia for me, because my parents bought a bucket for one of me or my siblings' birthdays at least once a year as a special treat, and so I associate it with happy times. I'm very sad they got rid of the potato wedges, though. The battered fries just aren't as good. The chicken is still great. For a sandwich, though, I still go for Chick-Fil-A.
KFC makes me sick. I don't mean that as in "I'm so outraged that this exists", I mean it's genuinely so greasy it makes me feel ill when I eat it.
The chips taste pretty good though. When they're not soggy.
Sorry what were we talking about?
Kfc and dc cross-over was epic years I remember reading lol, ahhhhhhhh good times good times
I didn't call him "COL-ON-EL Sanders" but guess who did when he was a guest on his talk show? Mike Douglas! Not Kirk's son but the other guy who sang "The Men in My Little Girl's Life."
The real secret of KFC chicken isn't the 11 herbs and spices, but pressure cooking it.
"Adam Sandler product placement"? Never mind the candy--GIMME KFC!
He wants to put billboards on the Source Wall? This man has definitely lost his mind. 🤣🤣🤣
Everyone giving Barry grief for starting the multiverse, Colonel Sanders out of the corner “it was ME Barry!”
Would you like some fries with that cringe product placement?
Meanwhile I keep being denied the one story I've been waiting for ever since that one Halloween episode of The Office messed me up: a team up between Power Girl and Wendy... I'm not a monster! Don't judge me! :D
If you where out in space for an extended period of time, I doubt you would ever expect to see Wedny just randomly flying by either. 😂
Chicken place...Breakn' Bad LMAO
I try to stay away from fast-food chains, but I did drive past a POPEYE'S the other day, where they have a "Megan The Stallion Hottie Sauce" sign out front...considering what her most famous song is, I shudder to think what the ingredients are....still, fun vlog today, Sasha!!!
The crocs themselves weren't scented. The drumstick jibbitz that clip onto them were though.
The Dating Sim Colonel cosplays I've seen were epic, but now I need to convince enough people to do an 11 Colonels group cosplay. It needs to happen.
About pronouncing "colonel", I had to read the word as a kid, for a literacy test. Initially read it as "col-on-el" - and then realised that was how the French character in Hogan's Heroes said "kernel". 😅
...and one spectacular day, or horrible day depending...the souls of 17 billion chickens manifested in the ether and descended upon the colonels with awesome vengeance. I'm still drawing it.
