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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Kinda wanted to avoid extra tracking on this one :D
