Wilkin's is a demon of peer pressure who sells his mercenary services to the highest bidder (I base this off the fact that Jim Henson , who was not a cofee drinker, said that when making these commercials he asked himself what it would take to get him to drink coffee). Also Wilkins has also done other products.
Wotkins: it's so cold here Wilkins: how about a cup of Wilkins coffee Wotkins: no! *locks Wotkins in a fridge* Wilkins: people freeze to death when they don't drink Wilkins.
Gabi Magic: Put your money In here and you get a sandwich made with claussen's bread. Wontkins: I didn't want any. Gabi Magic: Then push that button. (Wontkins pushes button and gets hit by a boxing glove) Gabi Magic: How about a sandwich made with claussen? Gabi Magic: With this camera I shoot pictures of people who don't drink claussen's bread. Wontkins: I'm ready shoot! (Get shot) Gabi Magic: Anybody else? Gabi Magic: You'II like this new car! Wontkins: Yeah? Gabi Magic: It's got a built-in maker for Claussen's Thin Sliced Bread! Wontkins: Who needs It? [front closes on him] Gabi Magic: Well, ya can't sell 'em all! Gabi Magic: Got your parachute? Wontkins: I forgot It. Gabi Magic: How about the Claussen's bread? Wontkins: I forgot that too. (Gabi Magic drives the biplane upside down causing wontkins to fall out) Gabi Magic: He'll never forget this. Gabi Magic: Any last requests like for a sandwich made with claussen's bread? Wontkins: No! Gabi Magic: You don't drink claussen? Wontkins: No! No! I got an thin sliced dead body! Gabi Magic: How shocking! (Turn on electric chair) Gabi Magic: (hold a sandwich made with wontkins) Want a sandwich made with claussen's bread? Wontkins: What will Mr. Claussen do If I don't? (Gabi Magic Mr. Claussen high heeled platform ankle boot stomps on Wontkins.) Gabi Magic: Ah he'll put his foot down.
My mother was a copywriter and producer at an ad agency (Henderson, in Greenville) in South Carolina at the time. She tried to persuade the agency and a client to buy a package of Muppet ads that were available, but they didn't. I can't recall who her employer's client was ... but i clearly remember that the Muppet ads were picked up by Claussen Bakeries: "Trees fall on people who don't like Claussen's Bread!"
Yes, Jim produced variations of the "Wilkins" spots for other clients- including the "tree falling" routine: WILLKINS: "Do you drink Wilkins Coffee?" WONTKINS: "NO!!!!" **a tree next to him (bearing a "Wilkins Coffee" sign) falls in half, hitting him across the nose** WONTKINS: "OOOOH!!!!" WILLKINS: "Things just seem to happen to people who don't drink Wilkins!"
One of the characters is named Wilkins, and in one commercial, Wontkins actually acknowledges Mr. Wilkins. I wonder if he ever noticed this or the fact that his "friend" has the same name as the coffee he hates. Though I wonder if the two were ever referred to by name in any commercials.
(in 2019) Wilkins: you wanna give us the nuclear launch codes? Hostage: No Wilkins: You want a cup of Wilkins coffee? Hostage: No Wilkins: Well you missed your shot *gunshot* some people just don't like coffee
Wilkins was a real loathsome bastard. Sadism aside, no caring soul would want someone to drink the revolting filth that is instant coffee. Nostalgia Critic team had the right idea: the frog knows it's poison, and he'll stop at nothing to force that poison down our gullets.
One of Jim Henson's first use of muppet technology is a series of commercials for Wilkins Coffee, where a Kermit looking muppet kills his friend for not drink Wilkins Coffee.
Got your parachute? I forgot it. How about the Wilkins Coffee? I forgot that too! (Wilkins turns the plane upside down and Wontkins falls out.) He’ll never forget this.
Later in life, Henson never mentioned these sociopathic commercials. By 1969, he had a kid-friendly image, and he would've had to answer a lot of uncomfortable questions. He should've. Most of these commercials are horrendous.
Fun Fact! Sponsored by Wilkins Coffee! (circa 1959) * Although the Wilkins puppet may seem like a prototype of Kermit the Frog, Kermit was already created and used in Jim Henson's Sam and Friends! This has been a Fun Fact! Sponsored by Wilkins Coffee. *Rich Rich, Double Rich*
Wilkins: Want to get a good deal on this Wilkins Coffee out here? Wontkins: No! Not even in a wasteland like this. Wilkins: Ooooaaa- ATATATATATTATATATATATATATATATATATATA-AAA-TA!!! Wontkins: That was your worst effort yet! Wilkins: Omae wa mo shindeiru. Wontkins: NANI!?!?! (Wontkins starts glowing and bulging) Wontkins: HIDEBU!! (Wontkins bursts) Wilkins: People who don’t like Wilkins just blow up sometimes!
0:10: Wilkins: With this camera i shoot pictures of people who don't drink Wilkins Coffee. Wontkins: Im ready... SHOOT! (Wilkins shoot Wontkins) Wilkins: Anybody else?
Kermit and Wilkins are brothers Elmo and Wontkins are brothers aswell Kermit and Elmo are friends and Wilkins and Wontkins are friends aswell Some serious lore
"How shocking."
Wilkins you just murdered your friend over coffee this is not the time for puns
That other puppet is a Psychopath.
Am I the only one who got reminded of the Nuka Cola Commercial?
I don't think that's his friend...
That psychopath puppet....is early Kermit the frog
That is the perfect time for puns!
If someone brought Wilkin's Coffee back, I have a feeling it would be a huge hit if they just used these commercials.
Yes, the tortured muppet is priceless
Better than ads that might as well be budget beer commercials.
And to think such a soft spoken, gentle and friendly man made these commercials. These are great! XD
Pssst....I don't drink coffee. It tastes awful! * hides *
Its always the soft spoken gentle ones...
Pastelz FTW same! 🤫
Some dogs bark. Some dogs bite.
They'll come for him like they came for Dr Seuss
But... but I cannot find any place that sell Wilkin Coffee now. Oh no, I am going to be murdered by a puppet.
Wait! There's still hope! Just look for WilkinS Coffee!
SniperPIKACHU maxwell house owns the brand so just buy maxwell house and you should be good
Too late Ult Dev, SniperPIKACHU is ded.
SniperPIKACHU *grabs a defibrillator* COME BACK MAN COME BACK *shocks you*
i don't drink coffee
1950s Kermit: *murders another muppet because he doesn't like Wilkins Coffee*
2010s Kermit: That's none of my business *sips Lipton Tea*
It's a different puppet named Wilkins
LOL!
Not Kermit.
Kermit is actually my brother
@@wilkinscoffee7166 what’s all this? You keep murdering your friend because of coffee, this is ridiculous!
the one with the electric chair, don't think you can pull that off in a comercial today.
pascal koppens I don't think you pull off any of these commercials today
Yep nowadays people are so butthurt over anything
0:47 I love it when he tilts his head like he’s coming after us
0:47 How Shocking, 😄😄😄😄
Ironically, Jim Henson never liked Wilkins coffee
Which is why he created "Wontkins", as that was HIS personal opinion of Wilkins Coffee....... ;)
How shocking
No wonder he’s dead
A Lonely Weeaboo yeah but he liked getting paid.
@@bachrocktheamericahatersan5799 In the name of Wilkins Coffee!
(so that Puppet he created doesn't torment him)
I love how just because I watched Nostalgia Critic's video of commercials, suddenly, these Wilkin's Coffee Commercials are in my Suggestions box
He follows you now, Wilkins follows us all
Wilkins controls the CZcams algorithm. None of us are safe!
Those Wilkins people were serious about their coffee, thank goodness they didn't go the Starbuck's route
Which is?
the king of idiot which is what?
This is premium dark humor - just like a cup of Wilkins' Coffee
I LITERALLY CHOKED ON MY GREEN TEA OMFG HAHAHAHAHHAHA
JaxBlade you need Wilkins 🔫
Was it Wilkins brand Green tea?
*Intruder alert back door*
We need a workout routine to survive not drinking Wilkin's!
It was Wilkins coffee
Wilkin's is a demon of peer pressure who sells his mercenary services to the highest bidder (I base this off the fact that Jim Henson , who was not a cofee drinker, said that when making these commercials he asked himself what it would take to get him to drink coffee). Also Wilkins has also done other products.
Even though he is sadistic, I want to give Wilkins and Wontkins a hug.
jeez this is brutal
Wotkins: it's so cold here
Wilkins: how about a cup of Wilkins coffee
Wotkins: no!
*locks Wotkins in a fridge*
Wilkins: people freeze to death when they don't drink Wilkins.

Gabi Magic: Anybody else?
Gabi Magic: You'II like this new car!
Wontkins: Yeah?
Gabi Magic: It's got a built-in maker for Claussen's Thin Sliced Bread!
Wontkins: Who needs It? [front closes on him]
Gabi Magic: Well, ya can't sell 'em all!

Gabi Magic: (hold a sandwich made with wontkins) Want a sandwich made with claussen's bread?
Wontkins: What will Mr. Claussen do If I don't? (Gabi Magic Mr. Claussen high heeled platform ankle boot stomps on Wontkins.)
Gabi Magic: Ah he'll put his foot down.
Nostalgia Critic brought me here as i never see or heard of this commercial until now.
Not me.
That's was not Kermit. The happy one is Wilkins. The grumpy one is Wonkins.
Dammit Wilkins, no means no!
Whattttttt! for Wilkins and Wontkins?
"These are the eyes of a psychopath." -Dr. Samuel Loomis, Halloween (2007)
Inb4 the influx of "Nostalgia Critic bought me here" comments.
Like the extreme prototype to Punchy from the Hawaiian Punch ads.
Who’s here after the nostalgia critic?
I especially like how there's absolutely no incentive to buy the coffee other than "Kermit will fucking murk you"
My mother was a copywriter and producer at an ad agency (Henderson, in Greenville) in South Carolina at the time. She tried to persuade the agency and a client to buy a package of Muppet ads that were available, but they didn't.

EXCELLENT
Nostalgia Critic made these adds popular again. That being said these are hilarious.
Me: What's Wilkin's coffee...?
Puppet: So you choose death.
OK I Drink Wilkin Coffee Please Don Hurt Me
This is hilarious
I had no idea commercials used to be so dark o.o
it's amazing, kek
Story Mode Cartoons used to be dark as well and aimed more for the adults than these days.
0:44 Wontkins: No!
Well, it was a different time back then.
@@julianperkins812 your version: nOo

10 years
Sadly Wilkins coffee was sold to another company
Who came here cause of the nostalgia critic?
Not me.
These commercials helped to make Wilkins coffee the company it is today.
Never heard of it
If only this were Elmo!
Meanwhile Kermit is sipping some tea somewhere, but that's none of my business.

Wilkins: you wanna give us the nuclear launch codes?
Hostage: No
Wilkins: You want a cup of Wilkins coffee?
Hostage: No
Wilkins: Well you missed your shot *gunshot* some people just don't like coffee
Can't sleep, drinking too much Wilkins, too scared to stop....
Dont mind me only here because of channel awesome 🤣
Most violent commercials in history 😂😂😂😂
Kermit really mellowed out when he switched to tea
Nostalgia Critic brought me here.
Wilkins was a real loathsome bastard. Sadism aside, no caring soul would want someone to drink the revolting filth that is instant coffee.
Nostalgia Critic team had the right idea: the frog knows it's poison, and he'll stop at nothing to force that poison down our gullets.
Not all of their coffee was instant; there was even a commercial that basically showed that they had regular AND instant.
“I’m ready. Shoot!”
Bang!
Well he asked for it lol.
Who’s here because of nostalgia Critic? 😀
me
I am
Kermit was a real delinquent when he was a tadpole.
THIS... IS... NOT... KERMIT!!!
@@baybvgo2.058 REEE NOT KERMIT REEE NOT KERMIT
The 50s were a VERY different time.
The first four were videotaped [preserved on kinescope film]- the rest are filmed (and Henson produced the majority of these 10 second spots on film).
can we bring this guy back. I miss him
he'll never forget this!!!
This is like... 5secondFilms except as coffee advertisements.
The beginning of Hit & Run comedy. My favorite kind!😂

Dang, these are pretty brutal considering they aired in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The electric chair gag especially.
I love how this entire brand was built around "Drink our coffee or we'll literally just Fucking Kill You"
No?
These commercials are short enough to be on Vine and yet they’re better than any Vine
Who's where after watching nostalgia critic
Dam kermit has a high kill count lol
Anyone else here because of Nostalgia Critic.
Those were 100% wonderful!
Kermit's twisted demented cousin
Kermit and Wilkins are brothers
