Gotta love the first line of the wikipedia article on this commercial. Yes, there is a wikipedia article on this commercial.

“Coming Home” (commonly referred to by unofficial titles such as the Folgers Incest Ad

Wiki here

pascal, (edited )

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.

corsicanguppy,

So

  1. Commercial
  2. Webtreads get crazy
  3. Wikipedia page about the things some treads imagined
  4. “Things some fringe group went crazy over” is how we define ‘edgy trauma’ now

By that logic, the pizza basements were real.

Jax, (edited )

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.

SCB,

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?

Gabu,

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.

Jax,

You do understand the whole thing is creepy, right?

SoleInvictus,
@SoleInvictus@lemmy.world avatar

I was initially really confused about why you were suggesting someone was the koi herpes virus.

For any other confused fish people, KHV stands for kissless, hugless virgin.

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

Huh

dditty,

“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.

TexNox, in Night vs Morning people
@TexNox@feddit.uk avatar

See our house is totally opposite, I get up early, take myself downstairs feed the pets and have a nice quiet morning. My wife will arrive at bed at 1am, throw the bedroom light on, rattle all the drawers for PJ’s, loudly demand I wake up so I can watch whatever Facebook video she’s been watching and announce we should have a serious conversation about where we should book for holidays this year.

When I complain, it’s 1am and I gotta get up at 6:30 suddenly I’m the reason we never talk anymore…

theangryseal, (edited )

That don’t sound good bud.

If your marriage is worth it to you, a consider getting on her schedule somehow. Some people just don’t think about that shit. I started waking up before my ex because she was complete chaos every morning. She’d scream and throw things around. She was ultimately diagnosed with BPD right after we had a major crash and burn.

The girl I’m with now is the opposite. She’s calm, considerate, and an all around amazing partner. There are things she don’t think about though. She loudly looks for her pajamas too (she don’t turn the damn light on thank goodness) but I know she cares for me and considers me because she does so much to show it.

She wakes me up to talk too, but we’re roughly on the same schedule. It bugs me when she does, but it legit doesn’t bother her a bit so if I complained she wouldn’t even remotely understand why I was complaining. It’s no big deal to her to wake up and go right back to sleep.

Sometimes you have to make big changes for the sake of your marriage. Some people can work on opposite schedules and get along fine. Some people can’t.

I wouldn’t wish divorce on a modern day Hitler. It was hands down the worst experience of my life. I don’t regret it now because I’m happier now than I’ve ever been. I’m with someone who I work well with and who I love on a level I didn’t even know was possible (as cheesy as that sounds, I’ve never been happy to do things for anyone else like I do for her). She’s someone I legitimately want to make sacrifices for. If I had to go through that shit again though, I don’t even know if I could. I might check out early or just start walking and never look back.

Think back to why you married your wife. I’m telling you, once it’s done you will and it won’t be any fun.

Just hearing my ex talk just about drove me up the wall though haha. It did from the very beginning too. She was just cool as hell and an amazing artist. I admired her when I thought about her, just couldn’t handle her when I was around her. She was so arrogant and certain that she was the best thing on the planet, which was really just her insecurity talking and playing confident somewhat, but god I couldn’t stand it. I legit think she was one of the best writers the world has ever known, but so did she and good god.

Haha, I went on a tirade there, sorry.

Ohhhh shit. I’ll take a chairman Mao with a Lenin side. And ummmm, one order of Stalins with a Pot of Marx.

Oh, I have a lightweight in the car, he’ll have a Sankara with no extras. He said make it work this time around, please!

:p

benni,

Idk man, sounds to me like his wife is very inconsiderate, or unaware that some people are deeply asleep at 1am. This behavior should not regularly happen between people who respect each other and clearly communicate their needs. Maybe they can find a different solution than him changing his entire schedule.

Anyway, I just wanted to browse memes while taking a dump. Strange how these internet conversations come to be.

ilinamorato, in What nice vibes

Fun fact: the sister in this commercial is played by Catherine Combs, the daughter of Star Trek everyman Jeffrey Combs.

Infynis,
@Infynis@midwest.social avatar

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.

ilinamorato,

The first three takes were of her greeting her brother by saying “BRUNT, F.C.A.”

tpyo,

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.)

    illi,

    Confused by the second part - so it was always supposed to be a joke? Because comments suggest otherwise

    SkyezOpen,

    The second part is a parody done by different people entirely.

    usualsuspect191,

    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

    illi,

    I totally didn’t notice those are different people, hah!

    I had to look this one up. Basically "awwtysm" sounds like "autism".

    Cold_Brew_Enema,

    Thanks for explaining the obvious joke, sherlock

    Octopus1348,

    It’s definitely not obvious, locksher

    CosmicGrizzly,

    It’s a valuable service. How will the next generation of chatbots write jokes if there isn’t someone explaining every joke.

    It was a folgers coffee commercial with incest vibes if i remember correctly

    Maddie,
    @Maddie@sh.itjust.works avatar

    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

    Hey, don't be like that, remember that the problem is the people not the internet.

    I just watched the ad for the first time.

    It’s undeniably weird and uncomfortable.

    PainInTheAES,

    Posted from a lemmynsfw account 🤔🤔🤔

    rifugee,

    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.

    saltnotsugar,

    The best part of waking up, is bustin that morning nut.

    For the morning? Maybe. Definitely not for the day though.

    “Weird.” Any and every porn now seems to have an incest angle to it.

    Johanno,

    What are you doing step ladder?

    flicker,

    "Some reason"

    The reason being that anyone who has siblings and watched that commercial thought they acted like lovers, not siblings.

    frozen,
    @frozen@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz avatar

    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.

    flicker, (edited )

    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!

    devfuuu,

    That’s the dream!

    9bananas,

    i would sure hope they both have the same kink!

    would be even weirder otherwise…

    GrammatonCleric,
    @GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world avatar

    Brothers and sisters don’t look at each other like that, brother 😅

    ColeSloth,

    It’s because the commercial looked very “more than brother and sister” during the commercial. It was pretty abnormal behavior.

    slurpeesoforion,

    All because some ad exec wanted to produce his own wank material.

    jrburkh,

    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.

    joyjoy,

    There’s also a SNL skit about it. Their parents walk in and they are furious.

    dangblingus,

    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.

    Stamets,
    @Stamets@startrek.website avatar

    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

    jmcs,

    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)

    yesman,

    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.

    ook_the_librarian,
    @ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world avatar

    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.

    Gabu,

    Their worst mistake is existing, from what I gather.

    Furball,
    ook_the_librarian,
    @ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world avatar

    After viewing it, it seems like the writer envisioned a much younger actress.

    Zron,

    That makes it so much worse.

    You see how he bit his lip? Now that’s some sexual tension.

    ook_the_librarian,
    @ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world avatar

    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.

    candybrie,

    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.”

    brbposting,

    Kinda wanted to avoid extra tracking on this one :D

    piped.video/watch?v=uMwFWDIFVCU

    …it’s weird.

    Alexstarfire,

    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.

    Honytawk, in ironic

    I have a lot to hide.

    That is why I close the door when using a public rest room, otherwise people see my tiny penis and I get jailed for being an exhibitionist.

    theKalash,

    Not just closer, they ARE dinosaurs. The entire class of Aves (Birds) is part of the clade Dinosauria.

    tegs_terry,

    Didn’t they reverse the genes on one, and it grew a tail and teeth and stuff?

    theKalash, (edited )

    I’ve never heard of that.

    If beaks evolved from teethed ancestors, that might be plausible. Beaks are quite old though. You can find them on Parasaurolophus or Psittacosaurus.

    Pretty sure birds already have tails :P

    Beldarofremulak,

    Huh… You made me look up birds sense of taste and it varies from dozens to hundreds of taste buds. Humans have thousands and catfish have over 100,000. Neat!

    shalafi,

    As a hot pepper fanatic, I love this trivia:

    Birds don’t have receptors for capsaicin, the chemical that makes peppers hot. They could chow a bag of Moruga Scorpions with zero effect.

    Evolution’s idea being, birds will swallow the seeds whole, poop them all around. Mammals will chew them up and destroy the seeds, so they evolved a defense specifically against us.

    Afghaniscran,

    They get an A for effort. They just didn’t expect us to be masochists.

    qyron,

    As a species, we actively search for food items that are borderline toxic, for the fun of it and because it flavours our food.
