I feel like I’ve stepped into some strange alternate universe. Seeing Wilkins and Wontkins advertise products that aren’t Wilkins Coffee just feels bizarre and not right.
Correction: He murders WONTKINS for any brand that pays. Over, and over, and over again. Pray you never get on Wilkins's bad side, for if you are, there is no escape.
Yeah, they would be enslaved to advertise either cars or all these miracle drugs that you should run to your doctor and ask if you can get a prescription for.
From what I found Community Coffee was a Wilkins product, and the Red Diamond advertising was made after they stopped making ads for WIlkins. Apparently Henson didn't even like coffee.
@The Jim Henson Company This is so cool to see the early work my Dad did with Jim Henson when they attended University of Maryland together and became friends. Thx for posting! I'm wondering if that's my Dad as the giant that steps into scene @1:22 mark.
What I can never get over is how short these ads are, most around 10 seconds. They're simple skits that simply drop the name brand in (some are repeated for different products), which may be considered a weakness from an advertising perspective. To be fair, for some items (especially food products) there's not much to sell people on. They bank on the comedy and let word of mouth do the rest. The advertisements you see most often today easily push past the one minute mark, bore you with muttered legal disclaimers about what they're trying to sell you on, and generally treat you like an idiot.
I know this is 3 years old, but he’s not eating it. That’s just a character trait of wontkins. He always moves his lower lip in a circular fashion. You can see it in other commercials, particularly in this clip near the end where he starts the commercial and there’s a second or two before the action. It’s a nervous tick that’s supposed to make him look like more of a stooge.
Wotkins: it's so cold it's winter Wilkins: how about a cup of Wilkins coffee Wotkins: no! *freezes Wotkins in a fridge* Wilkins: people freeze to death when they don't drink Wilkins
0:38 Wilkins: Want some Red Diamond coffee with your pie? Wontkins: No, just gimme the pie! (splat) Wilkins: Sure you wouldn't like a cup of Red Diamond to wash it down?
I dont see why you cant get away with these things. Its just a day in the life in America (especially in Chicago). In Chicago, you can find real life Wilkins and Wontkins on any street doing these things for less.
Actually community coffee has a color adverts, some of them are in the exhibit. My alt channel is coming soon, and my alt is gonna Noncam the community coffee and red diamond coffee commercials in color
0:24 give me a cup of coffee, Community, no any old coffee, step right this way.( wontikns goes to snow and the Wilkins just slam the door and wontkins says HELP HELP! and that’s it.)

I'm just glad they had an add for Faygo.
I thought Wilkins only killed for Wilkins coffee, now it turns out he murders men for any brand that pays.

Alexa Appel mlcky mouse playdoh
It's like an Ernest P. Worrell kind of thing.
Owen Gallagher I hear he's in politics now
Did Wilkins read the fine prints in his contract with the other brands?
this got me thinking, Wilkins and Wontkins were advertising too many coffee brands, this won't work in today's media.....
bpabustan I assume the commercials were regional, like with Ernest P. Worrell.
Wilkins and Wontkins
1. Maxwell House Coffee
2. Sani Sausage

Can't we all just accept the fact that Wilkins is just plain sadistic?
No one can deny that

Someone make Wilkins for M.U.G.E.N.

Hehe, that'd be great!

For real....you hit the nail on the head. But Wilkins coffee will hit your head with the nail!
japanese go very far to announce products for 15 seconds
Wontkins sticks to his convictions. See how easily Wilkins betrays his namesake coffee. For shame, sir.
I love how they got rid of all mentions of Wilkins coffee
But it’s still Wilkins and wontkins
I like how Wontkins just casually eats his pie even though Willkins just slammed it in his face

1:48 wtf was that?
Typical Muppet "monster" with an appetite. ;)
1:47 Nash Coffee - Monster,
Cthulhu
Julian perkins the taystee bread version is lost
It looked like a *very* hairy spider to me.
No coffee is safe from the wanton ever changing whims of Wilkins. He is insane I tell you, INSANE!!!!!
Ya know, if I lived in those days, I wouldve definitely bought some Wilkins because of this, or honestly any brand he advertises
1:24 titans exist in the real world apparently....
Teen?
Ho ho ho
the giant
@@matthewsoucy9073 Nope. The giants-who-eat-people kind.
I didn’t know that amine Titans exist in the Muppets universe
Jim Henson was the first juggalo, promoting Faygo way before ICP
Before Homestuck too!
I can see how much Craig McCracken was inspired by Jim's work watching these two...
In what way?
@@DetectorCliche TV Puppet Pals.
"BONK on the head!"
Wilkins may be a bit unkind to Wontkins, but he was nice to the TV viewers by making his commercials really short.
Wotkins: it's so cold it's winter
Wilkins: how about a cup of Wilkins coffee
Wotkins: no!
*freezes Wotkins in a fridge*
Wilkins: people freeze to death when they don't drink Wilkins
when you first see the video: cool! the muppets!
after the video: wow. I didn't know Kermit was a sycopath
Kevin TV
Actually Kermit was before this , search Sam and friends , it aired 1955-1961
HIS NAME IS WILKINS! READ THE TITLE!
Wilkins and Wontkins 1957-1969!!!
@TheDarkerBerrian It is Kermit's Double Dummy a Protype! Get it straight..
... did Jim Henson reuse a bunch of scenes and lines for many different products?
TheDeathmail
TheDeathmail I don't know and I don't care 👿
Daniel Hogan Well, cause I just noticed that many companies used the same commercials...
if it not broken, don't fix it
***** But that's not about being "broken" and "fixing it".
It's just reusing the same ad for different products...
0:38 Wilkins: Want some Red Diamond coffee with your pie?
Wontkins: No, just gimme the pie!
(splat)
Wilkins: Sure you wouldn't like a cup of Red Diamond to wash it down?
You could never get away with stuff like this nowadays!
I've heard that even modern reruns of the Tom and Jerry cartoon were censored for violence.
0:21 Jim's head is in the shot, for crying out loud.
Dont see it
Did u mean hand
@@djangogames3720 from 20 to 21 seconds, you can see Jim's head darting behind some prop.
its behind the rocket
seems like bad things happen to people who don't drink coffee, i don't, so wilkins will probably find some way to finnish me off.
Are you alright? Are you alive?
Wilkins and Wontkins, Will and Won't ok I get it Hehehehehehehe....
Good point
1:22 I'm curious who the giant is...
Charlton.
I wish commercials today still had Wilkins and Wontkins.
0:12 my favorite
Commercials don’t have the balls to do something like this anymore.
I dont see why you cant get away with these things. Its just a day in the life in America (especially in Chicago). In Chicago, you can find real life Wilkins and Wontkins on any street doing these things for less.
Always a pleasure to watch these early Jim Henson videos.
1. Faygo Redpop
2. Merita Bread
3. Community Coffee
4. Red Diamond Coffee

You miss a lot when you don't buy any of these food brands
Wilkins named his very own coffee after him!
Since Wilkins always murders Wontkins for not drinking his coffee, I will totally murder Wilkins.
If Wilkens tells me to drink coffee i will drink it.
0:00 my dad likes faygo!
Wilkins could easily defeat Thanos
Well thanos can snap his fingers to get rid of wilkins
Just Right!!
@@angelpates4085
well, that's that
It’s weird seeing one of these commercials in color.
Living Color for Wilkins and Wontkins.
Geeky Steven some of the 1960’s commercials are black and white
Kermit before his reform.
Kermit was on Sam And Friends two years before the first Wilkins commercial.
Oh Ready to Wilkins and Wontkins.
Well Wilkins is more like, the psycophath cousing or brother of Kermit
0:12
2019 remake:
Marita’s gonna be the first bread on mars

0:03 Juggalos: **heavy breathing**
These commercials are funny 😝
No No?
Julian Perkins why not? you do the commercials!

This whole video is just a series of terrifying threats.
I thought Wilkins only liked Wilkins coffee lmao
0:03 wontkins fall in the pool

Wontkins: Give me a cup of coffee,
Wilkins: Wilkins?
Wontkins: No any old coffee,
Wilkins: Step right this way.
Wilkins and Wontkins they make us laugh when we're in quarantine
This sellout muppet. I thought he was loyal Wilkins. lol
And he made the commercials while he was still in college, or just the two puppet fellows?
0:59 I like La Touraine
Yeah 0:59 I Like Maxwell House.
Every ad is the same but different
1:11
Wontkins didn’t even do anything wrong
YOU BETRAYED WILKINS!
0:53 Holy moly. I’ve never seen that many scratches on a film. 😮
Commentator 91 probably just how it is or it might be damaged
Just Kidding, it’s how it is (I guess)
@@muppetcommercialsandmore4356 no it's probably because the film was exposed to too much light
or maybe it was just played too much or something idk
Wilkins or you’re gay
I WANT TO BE GAY
**cheap cheap cheap**
Sorry but being gay is for the birds!
*wilkins makes the best coffee**
Mynameisntgenji882773 8 that commercial was useless
But I like it
1:46 Do you drink Nash’s Coffee?
No!
SLURP!
Things seem to happen to people who don’t drink Nash’s.
Faygo is good
How many products did these two recycle the same skits for?!
DOZENS of them.

Wilkins were like Morty become furious and overpower like Pickle Rick, and then turn into the muppets.
1:41 birds: cheep cheep cheep.
What the hell did happened 1:50
0:38
OH
0:13 Look below Wontkins. Can you see an arm?
Like and Self Promotion Police i know, sometimes it’s hard to get rid of the arm
I like how in some of the commercials, Wilkins opens his mouth and shakes his head as if he's laughing
🍟:I have Kfc and another kind
🍕:I want the cheap stuff
🦜4:Cheap Cheap
🍟:that other meals for the birds
Who would win in the ultimate fight to the death: DIO from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure or Wilkins
Wilkins sounds like Kermit.
Jim Scott's Compositions and Music Stuff because Jim Henson voices them all
0:15 Wilkin's face like When i see a Witch
Wilkins Coffee & Merita Bread
I saw a person on the scene (look at the rocket) at 0:20

Since Wilkins Coffee hasn't been made in 50 years, what would Wilkins Muppet do to everyone who don't drink Wilkins?
Me: Whats Wilkin's Coffee?
(Bonk)
Wilkins: you lose your memory when you don't drink Wilkins Coffee
there was this kind of humor back then
Yeah.
Would you like to try some of those Wilkins coffee before you can go
You know, I think the only things Wontkins actually liked were Franks products
1:17
Kermit and wontkins make some commercials like Wilkins coffee
Faygo
Merita
Community coffee
Red diamond coffee
And more
So funny
Interesting how they adapted some of the Wilkins ads for similar ads.
How many different brands of coffee did Wilkins and Wontkins advertise?!
I feel so, safe with the voicing, like I’m at peace, or feeling nostalgic
Did anybody noticed that person behind that wrecked rocket at 0:21 ?
