Lunch with no finger lickin’ required

People don’t think of KFC as an option for a workplace lunch meal as much as the Colonel would like. 

It may be the finger lickin’ deliciousness of Original Recipe Chicken people perceive as making it harder to combine with the working day, especially if you have hard-working fingers.

Always solution-orientated, KFC is proud to introduce its brand-new lunch meal deal with two 30-second TV films directed by Sam Hibbard and produced by Somesuch. Bringing the idea that having KFC for lunch is totally workplace-appropriate, both feature people working at jobs that rely heavily on fingers, who can now take an easy/unexpected break for a KFC lunch before resuming their work.

In Barber our hero breaks halfway through shaving a customer, unexpectedly stopping and leaving the client unattended. When the customer realises the barber has left, he looks around to find him, only to see he’s taking a bite of his KFC wrap. Totally unphased, and after a beat, the barber returns to the shave like nothing happened.

Massage has a woman enjoying a face massage, her total state of relaxation is interrupted when she notices the masseuse’s absence. She looks for her and spots her in the corner enjoying a bite of a KFC wrap. There’s no reaction, as this is normal behaviour, and after a beat the masseuse returns to finish the job.
