Here’s a little South African flavour for our international readers who visit often but rarely leave any comments. It hurts us on our studio (if you missed that reference, see here – it’s at the 49-second mark).
In the past, South African fast food chain Chicken Licken ran a series of entertaining funk-themed TV ads for their brand of “soul food”. Our friends over at 10and5 spotted a new set of ads that take the brand in a hilarious new direction. Our favourite ad involves a play on one of South Africa’s major pastimes, mispronunciation. In it, an affable chap comes homes to his housemates after picking up a delicious “beggar”.
Check out a few more Chicken Licken ads after the jump.
The Bunker
The Little Burger
The Hotwings Craving

I didn’t enjoy the hotwings one but the Bunker and Beggar ones cracked me up :beer:
looks like chicken licken are the new nando’s when it comes to funny advertising.
long may it last.
i really liked the last one, can identify with it most days ;)
It seems the delicious beggar and bunker ads have been taken down. Perhaps some at Net#work BBDO cocked up.
Anyways, I spotted this on 10and5 – the Wimpy ulekker breakfast ad – it’s not for laaities or for sissies.

an ad agency cocking up! never… :D
Lol easy. The cynicism is strong in you.
unfortunately it’s an axiomatic paradigm of the industry :devil:
Ja i play the mom in the bunker advert – why did they take it off you-tube??
Hey Pat, I contacted Net#work BBDO when the videos were taken off. Not a whiff of a reply.
Its really od – but the actors always get the full length directors cut for our showreels – so i will have it soon.
I havent even seen the bloody ad!! But its good to see people think its funny
I found replacements for the two missing ads. Thank you, Internet :heart:
Speaking of Nandos, this is their new commercial for ama-visitors to our country.
