KFC extends its ‘Shut Up & Take My Money’ campaign with new spots via Ogilvy, Sydney
KFC has released new spots in its “Shut Up & Take My Money’ campaign via Ogilvy Sydney.
The campaign celebrates KFC Value Deals that are “too good to be true” – encouraging consumers to stop what they’re doing, and instead indulge in a spontaneous moment of fun.
This chapter of the ‘Shut Up & Take My Money’ campaign showcases a university janitor playfully teasing a class of students with a $2.50 Chips & Gravy deal from KFC. The spot shows the janitor cheekily getting his own back on a group of students who muddied his newly polished floors, by sliding past a classroom window (Risky Business style!) enjoying KFC Chips & Gravy, as the students look on with longing.
Says Shaun Branagan, group creative director, Ogilvy: “The ‘shut up and take my money’ series has been an incredible success, showcasing that no one can resist a finger lickin’ good moment once they see the offers we have in store. Whilst most retail campaigns are moronic and monotonous, this one is designed to sell without the yell, to entertain with story- selling.”
Says Annabel Fribence, marketing director, individual meals, KFC: “No one can deny the fact that hot chips can cause food envy more than anything else and as KFC has Australia’s best tasting chips, this commercial celebrates the irresistible taste and power of our chips. As the next instalment of SUATMM this playful execution continues to communicate the fact that our value offers are too good to be true offering you so much more than just a low price.”

Awesome
Nailed it. (Again.)
That’s stupid, the, ‘shut up and take my money’ has no context. Somebody saw the line online and thought the young people would like it, so they jammed it in. Stupid
I also had a similar idea once that ripped off a different Futurama reference. It involved people saying ‘What about Zoidberg?’ in random situations. Hilarious if I do say so myself.
Oh and then there was that other idea I had in which people screamed “Citizen Snips!” while being bitted by a crab (I find the more obscure the Futurama reference the better).
Either way, I’m just glad that Young MC is still collecting some royalty payments. He’s earnt it.
How about an elephant that never forgets… to kill?!
It’s a catchphrase, people. IGet over it. Ads are good and as they stand, much better than anything else in the category.
Yes ‘get over it’ we know you drink the St Leonnards cool aid…these are rubbish, but then again do we expect anything better from these muppets…keep sniffing out YouTube for scrip ideas.
These are awesome and we all know it (no, it doesn’t need the catchphrase, but you’ve gotta sell in “millennials will love it” to the client somehow).
What everybody else said.
This work is about as good as the food from Subway at St Leonards… and the quote ‘this one is designed to sell without the yell’…ffs you people.
Required has nailed it.
If you’re thinking about teaching this industry a lesson in love for Futurama references, I have to warn you. It suffers from a very sexy learning disability.
I call it sexlexia.
Still cuts through. 10/10
What is the janitors real name, it’s bugging me. I dont want to know all the peoples name from ad agency it’s a wonder they don’t list his name
The most annoying ad in Tv, get rid of it.
Shut up, and get outta town KFC. You’re ads are a pain in the butt hole.
Why would any normal person say shut up etc or I don’t care ilove it moronic
