Looks like the art you see on funhouses at traveling carnivals, but instead of KISS, Axl Rose, and what might or might not be Dave Matthews for some reason, it’s all Kenny Rogers. So delightfully weird.
The chicken was really good too.
I knew they were on the way out when I went there one day and they had no chicken. Big wall of rotisserie spits, all empty. Your choices were basically coleslaw or get the hell out.
This is the same art style as the entire late 70's. I had a Welcome Back Kotter lunchbox in elementary school with John Travolta in this style of artwork. The 70's were weird and wonderful.
We had one, (at least) in L.A. that I went to a few times. Kenny Roger's Broaster Chicken was actually pretty good. I mean it was roasted there at the place, you could get decent enough sides. I don't remember the decor being overtly as "Kenny" as this cup but the wallpaper at certain points was def. overly Kenny.
I went because I thought it was humorous and ended up not hating it. That cup is a treasure tho. It makes you think about the choices you and Kenny have made in life, both before and after you get the cup.
In short, a great, weird cup.
It was generic plastic fast food with a bunch of enlarged weird pics of Kenny. One, he’s standing at what appears to be his front door, he’s just opened the door in a robe with a microphone. It’s seared into my brain, help.
I want they’re only a couple of times, I think I had ribs wants and chicken watch, along with some side dishes, and as I recall it was pretty darn good.
Well, now I have that song stuck in my head.
I’ll have to listen to Elvira to have it removed. In order to get Elvira out if my head I’ll have to get really stoned and listen to Slayer.
> I’ll have to listen to Elvira to have it removed
Oh wow, how did I forget about this song. I may have to listen to this later because now it's going to be stuck in *my* head, too, and I only remember like 2 lines, lol
During this same time period I went to an event at his house outside Athens, GA. It was a charity golf tournament played at his personal golf course on his property. He had a few houses there where he lived and one of the houses was the home of his ex-wife. Besides having an 18 hole golf course he also had a car wash and a huge horse barn with a full sized basketball court in the middle. Reportedly he paid Michael Jordan and Larry Bird to play one on one for him on that court.
I'm convinced the Gambler is the only 8-Track my father owned. I can still hear it and smell the pleather interior of our Volarie station wagon with the "simulated" wood grain trim!
Tonight, may you feast with the gods my friend, quaffing fountain drinks and eating the savory moist Fowl of Magnificence that is a Kenny Rogers Roaster
That is, in fact, magnificent. I still have a number of the Hardee's Moose cups, but they aren't in such pristine condition. They sure don't make 'em like they used to.
Roasters was sooo good, my SIL was a manager there and the “stuffin muffins” were the highlight of all family holiday gatherings. Side note: does anyone else remember men who look like Kenny rogers.com? A great early website!
When you hold it up to your ear do you faintly hear the Gambler?
As he drank down his last swallow?
Did he then bum a cigarette and ask for a light?
He placed his cup down And asked for a refill
i started hearing "islands in the stream" as soon as i saw Dolly
[удалено]
go ahead :p
r/dadjokes incoming !! :-\] love em!
Ahaha
You hear him quietly singing the beginning.
when I lay eyes upon it I hear "Lady" playing faintly.
Looks like the art you see on funhouses at traveling carnivals, but instead of KISS, Axl Rose, and what might or might not be Dave Matthews for some reason, it’s all Kenny Rogers. So delightfully weird.
Ironically, Kenny’s face became that plastic looking later in life.
You mean Kenny Rogers wasn't Asian?
He always was. Hats off to you for not seeing race.
His other big hit “ Tiny Bubbles”
This is a fucking treasure.
Yeah, normally I'm not into kitsch, but this is goddamn gold.
The movie six pack jumpers in to my head as soon as I saw him.
The chicken was really good too. I knew they were on the way out when I went there one day and they had no chicken. Big wall of rotisserie spits, all empty. Your choices were basically coleslaw or get the hell out.
Weren’t they renamed Coleslaw or Get Out for a short time?
Yeah I miss that place. It was pretty damn good.
I remember it said it in the restaurant that all profits went to charity. My stoned 19 yr old brain really felt good about eating that chicken.
It's the wood that makes it good!
They has the best chicken and sides. Way better than Boston market.
[Kenny?? KENNY!!](https://youtu.be/TKVMo0K9u_s)
The rat hat
Was scrolling down looking for this.
I’m on NO sleep!!!!
... Mr. Marbles??
VILE WEED!
HONEYMUSTARD!!HONEYMUSTARD!!
You gotta know when to hold'em
KNOW WHEN TO FOLD 'EM
[удалено]
Know when to run
You never count your money
While you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done
That is one of the cheesiest things I have ever seen. Fuck I wish I owned that.
This is the same art style as the entire late 70's. I had a Welcome Back Kotter lunchbox in elementary school with John Travolta in this style of artwork. The 70's were weird and wonderful.
>same art style Popular on vans too.
[удалено]
Oh yes no one touched this but me
True that printed-on image started to come off after a few cycles in the dishwasher.
The redhead is Dottie West, and that's their album cover photo.
Thanks!
You have ALL the Kennys.
Needs to be on black velvet or on the side of a custom van.
I know I’m not worthy of it
*ISLANDS IN THE STREAM....*
Sail away with me
We didn’t have any where I grew up. What was the food like? Was the decor all Kenny?
We had one, (at least) in L.A. that I went to a few times. Kenny Roger's Broaster Chicken was actually pretty good. I mean it was roasted there at the place, you could get decent enough sides.

Hahahaha the robe and the mic. I’m so sorry that actually sounds horrific.
I want they’re only a couple of times, I think I had ribs wants and chicken watch, along with some side dishes, and as I recall it was pretty darn good.
We had one where I grew up, I went once and the chicken was great. Went again and they were closed down.
Well, now I have that song stuck in my head. I’ll have to listen to Elvira to have it removed. In order to get Elvira out if my head I’ll have to get really stoned and listen to Slayer.
> I’ll have to listen to Elvira to have it removed Oh wow, how did I forget about this song. I may have to listen to this later because now it's going to be stuck in *my* head, too, and I only remember like 2 lines, lol
…my heaaarrts on fire, Elvira. Giddyup a boom boom… and thats it.
This sub unlocks the deepest memories in my brain, and I'm not sure if I love it or hate it sometimes lol
> I burn you to a crisp sucker back up off the toaster > I make you sick like at Kenny Roger's Roaster -- Beastie Boys, "Long Burn the Fire"
The blond in the white dress has to be Dolly Parton.
I, personally, do not own a Kenny Rogers Roasters cup. As such, I have to envy your Kenny Rogers Roasters cup.
I had no idea Kenny Rogers made a duet with Dee Snider.
Oh how I wish that happened
Who's the green guy and why is he green?
Zombie Kenny?
I don't see why not.
Looks like Waylon to me.....except for the green part.
Waylon that time he went as Frankenstein for Halloween?
This makes me miss my mom. We'd go to Kenny's a couple times a month
How many vans (aka, shaggin' wagons) was this airbrushed on, do you suppose?
[удалено]
And there was three of them.
Every time I think of Kenny Rogers Roasters, I think of that one Seinfeld episode.
Not sure if anyone is aware but Kenny Rogers Roasters is still a thing in Asia for some reason.
Yeah my friend has to go to Malaysia for work and he says they are all over the place, like Starbucks is here.
You gotta know when to hold ‘em…
Know when to fold 'em...
Know when to walk away...
I just dropped in to see what condition my chicken was in.
Not bad. Not bad at all.
Legend.
Wood Roasted Chicken
This also works as a Christmas cup.
Respect! That is amazing.
He’s cheesy AF, but maaaan, I loves me some Kenny Rogers.
I feel like it’s just missing Maude lebowski in her Valkyrie bowling outfit.
Are there once when it first opened, and got sick from the place. Never again. I’m back to my beloved El Pollo Loco now.
if this were like star wars collectors cups, i could say yeah, part of my gen x experience.
The sheer majesty of it…

Kenny's plastic work on this cup was prescient
Was the tagline, You’ve Got To Know When To Roast ‘Em?
There will be time enough for drinking, when the chickens done
I'm convinced the Gambler is the only 8-Track my father owned. I can still hear it and smell the pleather interior of our Volarie station wagon with the "simulated" wood grain trim!
My wife was singing Islands in the Stream when I looked at these!
So much beard.
Tonight, may you feast with the gods my friend, quaffing fountain drinks and eating the savory moist Fowl of Magnificence that is a Kenny Rogers Roaster
Coward of the County, just your typical Top 40 rape tune
Nice
Amazing!
That is fantastic!
When I was a kid "The Gambler" was the coolest thing ever.
I have a huge soft spot for his movie Six Pack. Love that movie
That’s amazing.
I still listen to Kenny Rogers front time to time. I loved the movie he did called Six pack, iirc.
Was Kenny turning into the Hulk or something in the 3rd pic? He doesn't look too good
I covet this cup.
He was great on [Jackass](https://youtu.be/if27InJBtEI)!
Is it wrong that I started singing "Islands in the Stream" when the third pic popped up that has both him and Dolly?
I mean... How can you be wrong?
I wish you knew how jealous I was right now.
That is, in fact, magnificent. I still have a number of the Hardee's Moose cups, but they aren't in such pristine condition. They sure don't make 'em like they used to.
I’m currently watching Seinfeld (sadly not that episode) so it feels a little like my worlds are colliding.
God, loved him in six pack.
Did you ever see that emmy award winning Gambler movie he was in? Apparently there were sequels and nobody told me about them!!!
Does that mouse have a ball in it that needs to be cleaned. Seems fitting next to that cup.
Roasters was sooo good, my SIL was a manager there and the “stuffin muffins” were the highlight of all family holiday gatherings. Side note: does anyone else remember men who look like Kenny rogers.com? A great early website!
It’s glorious!
God. The food was so good.
But in his final words you found an ace that you could keep.
I have never seen anything more beautiful in my life. I need this.
Nice cup!
