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.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Their worst mistake is existing, from what I gather.

Kinda wanted to avoid extra tracking on this one :D

…it’s weird.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

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.
