10 Video Games That Made You Say "WTF Were They THINKING?!"
2. Sexing Up KFC - I Love You, Colonel Sanders
KFC founder, Colonel Harland Sanders, has a habit of popping up in places you would least expect him. Over the years, the finger-lickin' fried chicken-lovin' colonel has appeared in Green Lantern comics, mini-movies starring Saved by the Bell's Mario Lopez, and all three Phantasy Star Portable games.
But the weirdest product to implement the fast food mascot has to be the 2019 video game, I Love You, Colonel Sanders. At first, this idea doesn't sound too bad. Being one of the world's most recognised restaurant chains, it's not far-fetched that KFC infiltrated other mediums, including video games. (McDonalds have been pulling that same trick for donkey's years.)
But what makes I Love You, Colonel Sanders so bizarre is the fact it's a dating simulator. In this game, we don't just get the elderly, tubby Sanders we're all familiar with - this colonel is smoking-hot... for some reason.
In the game, you work at a culinary school, where you're must impress Sanders with your dishes. Also, there is a professor who is a dog... called Sprinkles. The premise sounds so surreal, it genuinely sounds like a sketch from The Critic or Family Guy, NOT a genuine game.
Because of its unabashed zaniness, you'd imagine I Love You, Colonel Sanders would be, at the very least, entertainingly bad.
Sadly, that's not the case, since this gimmicky title was met with universal hatred. But considering how stupid the concept is, what the creators expect?
