 Images Animation Tv Broadcast Snl Antv Snl 07 A Patrick Fitzgerald says: "In a strange synchronicity, your recent posts 'Creepy character logo: Rubio's Pesky' and 'The Least Adorable Pet: Miracle Mike The Headless Chicken' brought to mind a hilarious commercial parody from Saturday Night Live in 1992.

"Written by Robert 'Triumph the Insult Comic Dog' Smigel, it featured a corporate mascot for the 'Cluckin' Chicken' restaurant: a chicken who gets his head chopped off. The severed chicken head continues to sing the praises of the restaurant, going so far as taking a bite of his own roasted body and declaring 'mmm! I'm delicious,' until at last he expires from loss of blood.

Reader comment: Steve Portigal says: "Here's the sketch in question. A helpful word is "Autophagia" - the biting of one's own flesh. Link
