English/Irish actor Pierce Brosnan turned heads last night at the Golden Globe Awards with his fresh new look. It seems he's bid adieu to his fresh-faced James Bond look and instead opted for a very Colonel Sanders-esque gray goatee. We weren't the only ones to notice the resemblance to the fried chicken purveyor and mascot. Twitter is all over the likeness, and everyone seems to be very into it. Thirsty tweets are even comparing his sex appeal to that of the Colonel Sanders dating Sim that made waves back in September 2019. While we won't go as far as to compare Brosnan to that studly anime character, we do agree with the sentiment of all of these tweets: he's looking might fine.

While we are hesitant to praise our capitalist overlords, sometimes brands come together to make some seriously wholesome magic happen. Journalist @butterfly_anele shared a tweet mocking a proposal she witnessed at a South African KFC, the couple went viral - and brands took notice. Businesses ranging from Woolworths to Coca-Cola began offering the twosome goodies for the wedding day. A Twitter-wide search began, and after KFC South Africa found the lovebirds, further offers arrived - from designers offering traditional wedding garb and diamond rings. The wholesomeness is almost too much to take, and while we're sure the brands had publicity in mind, the couple in question must be over the moon. Here's to good news for a change.

KFC announced yesterday that they are releasing a dating sim game on Steam and people on Twitter are responding both incredulously and lustfully at the news. The game, called I Love You Colonel Sanders! A Finger Lickin' Good Dating Simulator, is set for a September 24th release, and features Japanese-style animation, as well as an unsettlingly hot depiction of a young Colonel Sanders. 

According to KFC, the game features multiple hours of gameplay, recipes, and a secret ending. Players will be able to choose one of nine characters to attend culinary school with the fried chicken zaddy, in the hopes of becoming his business partner or, uh, lover. We'll admit that the premise of this game is somewhat disturbing, but we're both intrigued and weirdly into the animated Sanders. According to these Twitter reactions, we're definitely not alone. 

Anyone who has spent time on the internet knows that it's a veritable playland of anime tiddies and temptation. This meme riffs on that dirty reality, taking well-known figures of pop culture and anime and having them beg you not to look at the mammaries of a mostly-anime host of women. We're all guilty of need to get our priorities straight, and these memes are here to help.

It's really painful watching brands try to get down with the younger generation - keep the meme-making to us kids.

KFC in Hong Kong came out with advertisements for their hot and spicy chicken looking peculiarly like flames from explosions. It's pretty cool, but now everyone on the internet is hungry.

Country star Reba McEntire is the latest of a long list of celebs to portray KFC's legendary Colonel Sanders. The spunky singer made her debut as the first female Colonel yesterday in rollicking honky tonk advertisement. The ever-changing role of Sanders has largely gone to male comedians like Norm Macdonald and Jim Gaffigan, so it's no surprise that Reba's twangy induction is being met with media applause - but slightly more conflicted reactions on Twitter.
