I've never been more serious.
KnowFuture In my world there'd be beer commercials that would pretty much go like this.
Goofy Gorilla Things "just seem to happen" to people that don't drink Wilkin's coffee.
Iakchos There's no better marketing technique than straightforward intimidation and threatening.
ProfessorChaos These are like the "Miller High Life" of Old TV.
Urburos More people have been killed in the name of coffee than any other cause in the course of human history.
This must have been before the "anti-direct insult/death threat" to customers law got put into effect on mass media.
Spastic Avenger See Black Harvest/Joe Leahy's neighbours for more incidences of people being killed for coffee.
Phil I wonder how that second commercial tested with audiences, what with the blob puppet being shot point blank in the head by a snub nosed pistol.
rapsnacks This has been a public servi--WILKINS COFFEE
oh. oh i get it.
joffe b "As to advertising, it insults the intelligence of the viewer. It is geared at know-nothings ... About the only clever advertising on the air today is 'Wilkins and Wontkins'. It pleases rather than irritates television audiences, and I am happy to learn that this series is bringing increased sales to the sponsor."

memedumpster This television advertising campaign should have come with door to door salesman. "Hello, you may have seen our ad on television, we represent Wilkins Coffee... may we come in...?"
