“She peels off the red bow and sticks it on his shirt. “What are you doing?” he asks. “You’re my present this year,” she responds. The camera zooms in on her shy glance, then cuts to his furtive, flirty smile.”
Totally normal sibling banter, nothing to see here folks.
4chan told me that incest is wincest
So
-
Commercial
-
Webtreads get crazy
-
Wikipedia page about the things some treads imagined
-
“Things some fringe group went crazy over” is how we define ‘edgy trauma’ now
By that logic, the pizza basements were real.
You mean threads?
Also, no, it’s not fucking normal to say “you’re my present this year” to your sister. Shit’s creepy, the only way someone thinks it isn’t is because they’re either socially inept or a KHV.
What if your sister lives in a different country, and you haven’t seen her in ages, and she comes to visit you, and then you find out she packed her really sexy lingerie?
it’s not fucking normal to say “you’re my present this year” to your sister.
socially inept
Oh, the irony.
You may not have caught it, but that phrase isn’t what’s innapropriate about the commercial.You do understand the whole thing is creepy, right?
-
I watched the ad, never seen before… Am I blind for not seeing the mentioned sexual tension here?
Looks like a common american style ad to me.
Huh
WHAT???
LMAO how did someone watch the original commercial this is based on that’s actually cute and wholesome with a kid sister and go, “you know what this commercial needs?”
I had never viewed this commercial before today. After reading the comments here, naturally I wanted to see it for myself and followed a link. I honestly didn’t see anything other than standard sibling interactions. The early morning “dreamy-style” lighting (prime coffee drinking time) is the only thing that gave off a romantic atmosphere of any kind. From the comments here it’s clear others see something between the two across but it feels like a bit of a reach to me.
I thought it was referring to the parody continuation.
Which was only made because people got incest vibes from the original…
Okay…the parody was funny. Lol. Thank you for sharing that.
Definitely is
First time I realise it’s not the original 😳
Sorry, but gen Xers weren’t allowed to express genuine feelings for siblings.
gen Xers weren’t allowed to express feelings
its why we were the slacker generation and the laziest generation and the … well they didn’t start the generation name calling with the Millennials, you could say.
Nothing more genuine than sex between siblings
It’s just the porn addicted weirdos whose first thought was incest.
Pretty much everyone thought it was a weird commercial, that’s why it blew up. Even Wikipedia calls it the incest ad lmao
This is definitely not normal sibling interactions. It is categorically creepy and the direction makes it seem like theyre romantic partners.
You have some massive sexual tension between your siblings.
And that’s hot
Do you have siblings? Because the way they are portrayed on pornhub is not how it really is
I think if you go into it knowing they’re siblings, it’s all fine and normal. The rest of us saw the commercial blind, naturally interpreted the relationship as romantic and then were surprised to learn they’re siblings and the recalibration was funny. If you have no context, and you’re trying to interpret what the relationship is, at the beginning it definitely resembles a romantic relationship more than a sibling friendship
The rest of us saw the commercial blind, naturally interpreted the relationship as romantic
But… the first single word the actress said was “SISTER!” while pointing at herself…
I thought that was a really weird thing to say. I wonder if Folgers also thought the two were romantic so they half ass fixed with “Just make her say ‘sister’ to establish they’re siblings and call it a day.”
Sis has some hungry eyes
Bro is playing it cool
I agree. It didn’t seem out there. Seemed like honest love of another. Idk.
BUT… The incest version is SUPER funny.
I’m in the Don’t Know camp. What’s the deal with the commercial?
It’s about a brother and sister being happy to see each other at Christmas after he comes home from some volunteer thing overseas. For some reason, people have been shipping them as a brother/sister incest pairing. There’s legit porn fan fiction about this one commercial, it’s super weird
Some days I forget I’m on the internet and then I read some shit like this. I woke up 20 minutes ago and that’s already enough internet for me today.
Posted from a lemmynsfw account 🤔🤔🤔
Maybe they meant that they’re already done masturbating for the day? Just 20 minutes into browsing? High praise indeed for this incest coffee porn, I say. Good job, Folgers.
The best part of waking up, is bustin that morning nut.
It’s no nut Ramadan. Can’t jerk off while the sun is up
The sun is always down somewhere
For the morning? Maybe. Definitely not for the day though.
Hey, don’t be like that, remember that the problem is the people not the internet.
“Some reason”
The reason being that anyone who has siblings and watched that commercial thought they acted like lovers, not siblings.
I only have same-sex siblings and thought it was weird, so when I saw the memes and stuff, I asked my friends with opposite-sex siblings what they thought. They said the same.
It’s so weird. It plays more like they’re in a relationship but they both have a sibling incest kink!
Actually if you watch it with that in mind it’s weirdly wholesome. You do you, freaks. Glad you found each other.
…now off to call my boyfriend “bro” and see what happens.
E: I said, “I’m gonna take a nap, bro,” and he looked confused and told me that was a good idea (since we have Pathfinder later). Guess it’s not his thing!
That’s the dream!
It’s the direction of the commercial. The editing, the long drawn out eye contact, the lack of family likeness. The director shot it like a romance.
It’s because the commercial looked very “more than brother and sister” during the commercial. It was pretty abnormal behavior.
I was fully prepared to think people were overreacting, but it really is bizarre. The cherry on the cake is the brother’s lip bite toward the end. He must already know his sister adores him, right? So WTF is he getting all bashful when she expresses that? I can easily imagine the excitement depicted here in myself when I see my distant siblings. I can also easily imagine knocking on my sister’s door, and then joking I must have the wrong house, but it didn’t seem like it was a joke for him - it seemed like genuine surprise that his sister is all grown up to the point he didn’t recognize her. Shit is weird. But fuck, the lip bite?! I know I’m not everybody, but I feel like a more normal response to a sibling expressing “you’re my present this year”, would be like, “awwwww” and a hug. It sure was fuck isn’t a lip bite.
FUCKING. BIZARRE.
All because some ad exec wanted to produce his own wank material.
Brothers and sisters don’t look at each other like that, brother 😅
“Weird.” Any and every porn now seems to have an incest angle to it.
What are you doing step ladder?
There’s also a SNL skit about it. Their parents walk in and they are furious.
Erin Esurance has entered the chat
She was fine af
You’re the reason we can’t have nice things!
[jk]
I forget what sketch comedy show did a parody
SNL.
The way they filmed the commercial is bizarre. It’s a 20ish year old coffee commercial. The sister gives her brother a cup of coffee and the whole thing is filmed with an odd romantic tension. It’s just strange.
It would have been funny if the actors actually were attracted to each other and that bled through into their performance, lol
After viewing it, it seems like the writer envisioned a much younger actress.
That makes it so much worse.
You see how he bit his lip? Now that’s some sexual tension.
No, it doesn’t. Have you seen how a 6 year-old looks up to a much older sibling?
“You’re my present.” From a 6 year old, that’s cute. From a 20 year old, that’s sexual. From a 14 year old? I don’t know what it is but it doesn’t make me want coffee.
I think if he was acting with a 6 year old, that wouldn’t have been his expression. I doubt the script said “bite lip.”
First eww.
Second, why is he missing coffee when coming back from a coffee producing region? (And I know this is a matter of taste, but I personally think Ivory Coast produces some of the best coffee in the world)
I wouldn’t say Folgers is worse than incest, but their have been cases of separated siblings hooking up unknowingly, and how can you blame them? But nobody could mistake Folgers for a good cup of coffee.
I wouldn’t say Folgers is worse than incest…
If the Folgers marketing team hired you to say that for a commercial, it wouldn’t be their worst mistake.
Their worst mistake is existing, from what I gather.
Kinda wanted to avoid extra tracking on this one :D

…it’s weird.
That’s way less weird than I was expecting based on the comments. Not how I have ever interact with my sibling though. But, we’re very different people. I don’t think being happy that your older brother/sister is home for the holidays is weird in any way though.

The brother and sister had a questionable relationship

Fun fact: the sister in this commercial is played by Catherine Combs, the daughter of Star Trek everyman Jeffrey Combs.
Well that explains it. She obviously also plays his lover in another commercial, as well as his nemesis, and also the Folgers QA rep, so he was confused.
The first three takes were of her greeting her brother by saying “BRUNT, F.C.A.”
I love that man. He’s a fantastic actor and I get a bit of joy whenever I catch him in a show or movie
In The Frighteners, he plays this guy, who is an absolute treat:
It’s definitely one of my favorite things to watch, and I’d absolutely recommend it! (Definitely not safe for children.)
Okay, this is like the third time The Frighteners has come up this week; the universe is telling me to rewatch that movie!
Only in an American advert could a character come back from a major coffee producing region and think the shit in that tub is real coffee.
I worked at the Starbucks HQ for a bit and the running gag was that when they would tap out the used espresso, they were making Folgers
So where did Starbucks get it’s used espresso from?
I once found a twig in a folders coffee tub. It makes sense, I suppose… But also you’re drinking twig tea.
The beans are worse when you export them
I’m sorry about your head injury.
Confused by the second part - so it was always supposed to be a joke? Because comments suggest otherwise
The second part is a parody done by different people entirely.
deleted by creator
The first part is the real commercial, the second part is a skit that continues/parodies the original. It’s all different actors between the real part and the skit
I totally didn’t notice those are different people, hah!
Most sexual tension between on screen siblings outside of ‘life with Derek’
Most of us know because we remember the commercial. We don’t need jesus, the writers for folgers need jesus.
I remember the commercial and I never thought they were fucking
My sister was like 12 when that came out and even she looked at me and said “Were not brother and sister like that, are we?”
So you just thought they wanted to, right?
Of course, because the Bible loves incest.
Wasn’t there a funny or die that made this actually about bro sis marry? lol
What?
In the Foldgers Cinematic Universe, these two are siblings. They also give each other looks at the end that said “after we’re done with this coffee, we’re going to fuck”.
Okay, someone is going to have to say what it means for us that don’t know
Some people grew up in deeply religious countries and see innuendo where it isn’t because sexually repressed
You lucky soul walk away now
The best part of waking up, is your brother in your butt!
Pretty sure that’s not a folger’s commercial.
… so…?
