The internet has been rife with memes of the Brazilian star footballer Neymar mocking his exaggerated diving and rolling on the ground during matches. Now, the South African branch of the fast food chain KFC has decided to cash in with a hilarious new advertisement.

Although the commercial never mentions the Brazilian star, the reference is obvious.
