Wow, I think I'd better have a cup of Wilkins coffee...quickly....

Shocking is a very strong word to use here. Maybe "surprisingly violent" would have been more accurate. Because I wasn't expecting to see that, but it didn't leave me feeling offended. The ads were pretty good, really. To be so brief, they managed to convey what the product is, and in a brief moment of absurd, puppet-based violence, they conveyed the tremendous value of their product. You don't see such creativity very often, nowadays. In other words, if this actually shocks any of you, then maybe you need to unclinch your ass and try to laugh once in awhile....

if this actually shocks any of you, then maybe you need to unclinch your ass and try to laugh once in awhile. Reading every word literally: priceless....
Lauren O commented on Shockingly violent coffee commercials starring Muppets
It wasn't the violence itself that I found "shocking," but the tactic of threatening the viewer. "Drink our coffee or we will physically hurt you!" is a bit surprising, to me at least. I have seen many ads growing up with the TV and the Internet, but in none of them was a cannon turned to point at the camera menacingly....

It's like some sort of Jim Henson and Don Hertzfeldt collaboration....
