"... and I said, no you go..."

I think that ad was a classic as well. I think it's Aussie made.

And fat Hugo and his sister were the white prototypes of a whole generation of Kiwi kids of all colours growing up on fast food diets.

Hi, does anyone have a copy of the old animated KFC ad ("and Hugo said you go...") of the kids in the car? Please upload if you do.
