JIM HENSON'S OLD MUPPET COMMERCIALS ARE HILARIOUSLY DARK | Double Toasted

[@artarealmblazer]

Jim Henson actually hated coffee. That was his inspiration for the ads. He tried thinking of what would convince him to drink cup of coffee. "Well, maybe if someone held a gun to my head...."

Jim Henson actually wanted to do more adult themed entertainment for a VERY long time in his puppetting career. He didn't want to be permanently associated with children's entertainment and had several misfires in wanting to create puppeting entertainment for adults.

Here's my idea for a movie pitch: The evil precursor Kermit puppet from the Wilkins coffee commercial gets a psychological slasher horror comedy thriller from Brian Henson (director of "The Happytime Murders"), co-producing the film with Lisa Henson through their The Jim Henson Company banner, Henson Alternative, Jason Blum's Blumhouse Productions and working from a script by Christopher Landon ("Paranormal Activity", "Happy Death Day" and "Freaky"). The plot of the movie itself is an extremely violent and cartoonishly sadistic farce, very loosely inspired by the Dr. Seuss story of "Green Eggs and Ham". The evil Wilkins puppet will have to be played by none other than Steve Whitmire, AKA the original Kermit the frog after the death of Jim Henson in early 90's. 🐸☕☠ Well, what are your thoughts? 🤔

The purpose of the muppets/puppets is that they could do things you couldn't do to people. Same with cartoonists like Tex Avery, and Chuck Jones. Their wacky animations, the violence, were things that you couldn't even fake on live TV. It allowed them to go to absurd levels.

To JIM's defense, back then it was the wild west for advertising, and entertainment for film and tv. Anything goes for the sake of cartoon humor. Remember, these were the times when Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes and Tex Avery characters were stuffing dynamite down their pants, and blasting shotguns in each others faces. This is what humor was before things got regulated for the most part during the 70s, and definitely the 80s. I'd go as far as to say it's shocking to viewers of today because of how PC everything is. But back then it must of been another Tuesday.

[@Valtieldan]

The fact people feel the need to defend Jim at all is disconcerting. Dark humour like this has always been a common thing with puppets and animation in general.

I thought the theme of these would be that not wanting to try the product is a negative and met with consequences, but the individual was punished for accepting a bite of the product. Also, it could be taken as the product is so bad that someone would jump to take a bite out of someone else rather than simply finishing the food.
