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”.
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.
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.
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
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.”
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?
“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.
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?”
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 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
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
