Folger Coffee Ad

Extra credit Post

I thought you guys would enjoy these old commercials from Folgers. I came across these when I was in High School. They are very funny and absolutely ridiculous because today things just don’t work the same way. In the video the men would keep waking up to what they claim is “horrible” coffee that their wives would make for them in the morning. The women would take it as an insult and not know how to act. Many of the men just grabbed there meals and left the coffee. Then as the commercials progress they throw more ridiculous insults their way saying men or women at work can do better with hotplates and apparently saying the desk sergeant at the police station can make better is an insult.

However, a magical man shows up at the general store and saves the day by giving them a coffee that has a richer flavor and suddenly the men are in love with their wives coffee again. Basically the message being women need to be good cooks for the men and nurse them. Its not like the men couldn’t have made the coffee the way they wanted it. These commercials are just completely ridiculous. What do you guys think?
