What 1977 anthology comedy film used “Kentucky Fried” in its title?

The 1977 anthology comedy film that used “Kentucky Fried” in its title was The Kentucky Fried Movie.

The film consists of a series of short sketches parodying television commercials, films, news programs, and other aspects of popular culture. Its title is a comic wordplay on Kentucky fried chicken, making it especially recognizable in a fried-chicken context.

John Landis directed the film, which was written by the comedy group behind the sketch project. Its success helped Landis move toward larger feature productions, including Animal House and The Blues Brothers.

The title does not refer to a documentary or a restaurant advertisement. It is a satirical film title, and the movie’s deliberately disconnected sketch structure distinguishes it from a conventional narrative comedy.
