If you're still triggered by anything referencing the death of Hodor in Game Of Thrones, you need to get over it because this new KFC commercial featuring Kristian Nairn is absolutely hilarious. See the spoof in the ad originating out of UK and Ireland below and continue reading:
Whoever is running the marketing strategy for KFC worldwide needs a pay raise, because they've been on fire for the past year with their wild advertising! Sure it wasn't entirely faithful to the scene from Game Of Thrones, but did we really want to see actor Kristian Nairn drop to the floor and start convulsing while he lost his mind? That's not exactly the thing one shows folks when trying to sell some finger lickin' good poultry.
Does anyone else want to see Kristian Nairn dress up as Colonel Sanders now? This Game Of Thrones and KFC marriage needs to continue ASAP as we only have a short time before the show returns for Season 7. Perhaps someone can throw a bundle of money at the show's most screen time-given actor Peter Dinklage.

There's also this one wild theory that one of Game Of Thrones most prolific deaths may not have happened. Jump into all that, and don't forget there is a lot of other great summer programming to be found on our summer premiere guide. Our breakdown of what we know so far about Game of Thrones Season 7 is worth the read as well.
