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.

I thought it was referring to the parody continuation.

Which was only made because people got incest vibes from the original...

Sorry, but gen Xers weren't allowed to express genuine feelings for siblings.

Nothing more genuine than sex between siblings

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

You have some massive sexual tension between your siblings.

And that's hot

Do you have siblings? Because the way they are portrayed on pornhub is not how it really is

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

But... the first single word the actress said was "SISTER!" while pointing at herself...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

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."

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

This is definitely not normal sibling interactions. It is categorically creepy and the direction makes it seem like theyre romantic partners.

It's just the porn addicted weirdos whose first thought was incest.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Pretty much everyone thought it was a weird commercial, that's why it blew up. Even Wikipedia calls it the incest ad lmao

I agree. It didn't seem out there. Seemed like honest love of another. Idk.

BUT... The incest version is SUPER funny.
