Wilkins Coffee - Wilkins and Wontkins (1957-1961, USA)

Two of Jim Henson's earliest Muppets in most of the gloriously sadistic commercials that persuade you to drink Wilkins Coffee or die. Wilkins and Wontkins would also be used for a variety of other brands, including Red Diamond Coffee. Recovered from Garrett Gilchrist's suspended Henson Rarities channel.

@@EclipsTV antifa as a "threat" is very overblown, few milkshakes to the face of the nazis is nothing serious. But the rising fascist movements are what actually scares me. I will not respond or waste my energy debating right wingers.

[@EclipsTV]

@@eruno_ M-80 (bomb) here or there or a bike lock to the head, damaged property, rioting and destroying public and private business buildings, stopping people from speaking truth. Yeah that's not a threat at all. So where do you see that happening on the other side? That's right you don't. What nazis? I havent seen any call to action for death of races, no symbolic gestures or propaganda for nazis. You are seeing invisible nazis that don't exist. Trust me if there were nazis I would be the first in line to hunt them down. So it looks like we are both against them. But as far as ANTIFA not being a threat and "right" violence that doesn't exist (and no self- defence isn't violence) then that's where you're ABSOLUTELY wrong.

@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 Oh please. Panda Cheese is mindless violence, a furious rampage that does little more than damage his surroundings. Wilkins... his violence is cold and clinical by comparison. He doesn't waste time trashing the place, he goes in, visits great harm or death upon his target in an instant, and then moves on just as quickly. A rampaging beast is naught compared to a cold blooded killer.

"some learn, some don't". This was the motto of Wilkins "Crazy Coffee" Frog. Wilkins was a notorious mobster, coffee runner and sadistic killer. He had two relatives who he was close to. His uncle who was referred to as Mr.Wilkins( his mother had gave him her maiden name as his first) and his younger brother wontkins. The brothers were born in the 1920s and joined their uncle's crime syndicate in the 50s. He soon had married a woman name petunia an had a son named Kermit. His most notorious crime was the murder of his brother, wontkins. Who tried to kill Wilkins, his family and his uncle after Wilkins was chosen to be underboss. Wilkins son had almost died during wontkins attack, which then lead Wilkins to torture his brother before blowing him up in his house. Wilkins died in 95, at 75, he was never caught for any of his crimes. According to his son Kermit, Wilkins was a kind and gentle man. He raised his son in a modest home an upon his passing left a fortune for his son. Who then became one of television greatest showman of all time.

It is a Jim Henson puppet/early Muppet and I think Henson is doing Wilkins voice. So early Kermit is correct. Go double check on the voice work, but I'm positive on it being a Henson puppet. Just saw a documentary on Henson.
