Folgers Commercials

Why does Folgers insist on making me feel so awkward when I watch their nauseatingly cheesy commercials.

Now today, I’m doing some researching on how to patch up holes in some of my dress pants, and this commercial plays.

Neither of these commercials really say anything about Folgers itself, which I get, but I would think the first add is some sort of commercial for a travel agency or church or incest prevention organization, and the second commercial be a jewelers commercial.  The commercials really just leave me speechless.  I vomit, and then feel a little bit violated.  As if Folgers is trying to rape my emotions by making the most over the top, heartwarming sorts of ads I will ever have the displeasure of consuming.  Don’t you exploit my innocence, you bastard Folgers.

I love this post, and I just laughed really hard reading it (sorry I’m two months late). I HATE the first commercial, and you’re so right that it should actually be for incest prevention. HAHAHA. I always feel really gross seeing that commercial because that brother/sister relationship is just too weird. I love my brother & everything, but no way in HELL would we ever talk to each other like that & give each other those “sexy eyes.” BARF.
