And the Fast Food outfit's South African branch have made a brilliant advert off the back of the meme storm.
A footballer goes down during a match and rolls straight down the tunnel as the confused stretcher bearers follow him.
He then makes his way across town, forcing a skateboarder to jump over him and delighting some kids having a kickabout.
By the time the camera crew have caught up with him, the ace has a bag of KFC in his hand and viewers are given the catchy tagline "make a meal of it".

Neymar mocked by Eric Cantona in hilarious advert as French legend compares Brazil star to dodgy hand luggage
After fans criticised Neymar, 26, for going down too theatrically, World Cup-winner Diego Maradona had some words of advice.
The Argie icon, 57, told Marca: "Neymar is a star player too. He is still lacking something but he is a star.
"He has to know that today diving is a yellow card and VAR exists.
"He already had one taken away against Costa Rica. Neymar has to change the 'chip' in his head a little bit."
