@ Liam Paiva Acosta Actually, no. They *PRODUCED* commercials for different (local) brands/companies across the U.S. and recycled the *SCRIPTS* for each of them.
With these commercials, Jim Henson did exactly what I would have if I were given the opportunity in college. I have a feeling we would have gotten along. He did say his biggest regret was doing Sesame Street, because it cemented his work as being seen as for children in the eyes of the public; an image he tried unsuccessfully to escape.
And they say, around the studio backlots, the Wilkins puppet still lurks. Animated by a burning obsession to convert the world to a single coffee, he torments those who cross his path. Vainly do they cry, 'I can't... I can't drink it.... it doesn't exist anymore.... spare my life! '
I love the implication, because of all the brands that wanted Jim Henson's services, that Wilkins isn't loyal to Wilkins and is just a sadist who will abuse this poor guy to shill for any brand that would pay.

Interesting question. I would presume that they're owned by the Jim Henson Foundation, but I don't know for sure.

It's so weird to see Wilkins and Wontkins peddling for these other coffee brands (Red Diamond, Community, Nash's, La Tourraine) and even non-coffee products (Taystee bread, Frank's soda, etc.),
These were his 'Monsters ' They pre-date Muppets. I remember watching them as a little kid, then acting them out with the kids next door. This was Springfield VA in 1963. Henson was a DMV local, went to UMD where we're doing a show to honor Kermit September 27, 2024.

Wilkins=Me
Products=Sonic the Hedgehog
Wontkins=Sonic haters
That is so true! 😂🤣
It's so weird to see Wilkins and Wontkins peddling for these other coffee brands (Red Diamond, Community, Nash's, La Tourraine) and even non-coffee products (Taystee bread, Frank's soda, etc.),
Came back to this video after being reminded of it and got this incredible out of context moment:
"-coffee!" *Shotgun*
These were his 'Monsters ' They pre-date Muppets. I remember watching them as a little kid, then acting them out with the kids next door. This was Springfield VA in 1963. Henson was a DMV local, went to UMD where we're doing a show to honor Kermit September 27, 2024.
1:44 My favorite part
Please, just say you want Wilkens coffee or suffer dire consequences from the Kermit type puppet.
Tommy: Kern’s Bread will be the first bread on the moon! (Rocket explodes)
Fred: Now what?
Tommy: Well, Kern’s is still the best bread on Earth!
*Tommy nods at the camera while Fred stares at the remains of the rocket*
Wilkins when you ask him Wilkins diamond or community coffe is better: internal screaming
“All of them:)”
