The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
A father and his children enjoy a meal at the Cluckin’ Chicken restaurant while its animated mascot promotes the food. Clucky enthusiastically demonstrates how a chicken is killed, prepared and flame-broiled, treating each gruesome stage as another selling point. The tour continues through eating and digestion before the family and mascot return to the restaurant’s upbeat advertising pitch.

Notes from the archive.
The sketch combines live action with animation by J.J. Sedelmaier Productions. Sedelmaier has described it as an early collaboration with Robert Smigel, who supplied the concept and produced the piece. The February 13, 1993 broadcast listed in the official upload was a repeat of its November 21, 1992 premiere.
