#folgers coffee commercial

[be-gay-find-cryptids]

I just don't feel that holiday spirit until I watch that ad of those two siblings seconds away from committing a crime against God

...

The spirit of chrysler is almost upon us and I'm so stoked, watch out for my Film & TV Recommendations for Christmas in a few weeks :)

Ya think Lily was really confused why that infamous Folgers commercial became such a meme back in 2009?

I had to look that up.

Damn you anon! If I have to suffer with that knowledge, everyone else does too:

On one hand, I don't know how I ended up on the Folgers Inc_st Coffee Commercial side of TikTok, but my FYP took me there and it lead to me watching a 47 long minute video about it and it was very entertaining.

On the other hand, if I find any of you little shits reading my fanfic out loud on camera-

Legacy of the Folgers Incest Commercial

The other day I saw an ad for Folgers coffee that used the song "bad reputation" by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, and I thought, do they know? Did they pick this song because they wanted to appeal to a younger audience, or were they poking fun at what the true reputation of Folgers coffee has become? Because when I think of Folgers, as I'm sure that many other people on this hellsite can agree, I only think of one thing. That's right, I'm talking about the incest commercial.

For those of you that don't know, in 2009, Folgers wanted to reimagine their classic Christmas ad with a new version, titled, "Coming Home." The ad was intended to be homey and nostalgic, focusing on a family coming together for the holiday season. But what we got was a commercial that had some... other implications about family.

The siblings portrayed in the commercial came across to some as uncomfortably flirty. And the internet agreed. Soon there were memes everywhere, fanart, parody videos— even fanfiction.

 So what happened?

Folgers is a big brand, after all. This commercial would have likely had to go through multiple higher-ups and marketing executives who all watched it and said, “yeah, looks good. Let’s air it.”

The idea behind the commercial was that it featured an older brother coming home from his work in the Peace Corps overseas, only to discover that his younger sister had grown up quite a bit while he was away. This was intended to be addressed in a playful manner since he hardly recognized her, and everyone loved the idea.

On the surface, this idea could have worked. I think the main issue is that A: the two actors portrayed had way too much chemistry with each other, and B: in their attempts to make this ad feel cozy like a Hallmark Christmas movie, they...shot it like a Hallmark Christmas movie, romance and all.

I think the lesson to be learned here is that next time, maybe show your ad to a test group first before airing it nationally.

This holiday season, get yourself a partner that looks at you the way the Folger's siblings look at each other!

Still can't believe you wrote a fic based on Folgercest. Legend

*blushes*

When all you've got is a hammer (near-constant Obikin brainrot), everything (weirdly erotic television commercials) looks like a nail.

OH MY GOD Y'ALL!

The YT algorithm suggested me this video, and at first I was laughing and cringing, as one does when confronted with the INFAMOUS Folgers incest commercial, but as I watched this video, I experienced things I had not expected.

At first CJ goes over a comparison of the original Folgers commercial and this remake, and talks about the background a bit, which was interesting, funny and cringey enough. But then... Then he brings up the fact that there's an entire category on AO3 with fanfic based on this commercial.

And proceeded to read parts of one (summarizing the rest).

And...

That fic was actually amazing, like WTF? 😂😂😂 I was INVESTED! I was still laughing, because the way he reacts to and comments on it, and the way he reads these parts is just so utterly entertaining. But also, this fic actually apparently crafted a believable, profound and tragic story around this short commercial that was genuinely... moving? I honestly did not expect the video to take such a turn.

10/10. Amazing entertainment. Best I had probably all week.
