2. Brooklyn Gets Worked by KFC

You know those KFC commercials where the Miz, dressed as a chicken, fights Cornel Sanders, played by Dolph Ziggler? You know how the real, live crowd that this was filmed in front of looked super confused the whole time? KFC didn’t want to take the chance this time. So they hired The Heart Break Kid, Shawn Michaels to be the new Cornel Sanders.

They showed us the same incredibly bizarre commercial they showed you, the one where they’re holding auditions for the role of Cornel Sanders. Except when they flashed “WHO’S NEXT?” on the Titantron, they followed it with Michaels’ music. The place erupted.

As you probably saw when they ran the footage as a part of that KFC commercial, everyone was on their feet as Michaels came out and did his entire entrance dressed as Cornel Sanders. He then proceeded exit stage left. We never saw him again on the whole show. Needless to say, we were confused. A while later, they showed that commercial again and this time it included our ridiculous reaction to HBK. Everyone lost their minds and KFC made a commercial for chicken out of it. Touché, KFC.
