Gotta love the first line of the wikipedia article on this commercial. Yes, there is a wikipedia article on this commercial.

"Coming Home" (commonly referred to by unofficial titles such as the Folgers Incest Ad

Wiki here

"She peels off the red bow and sticks it on his shirt. "What are you doing?" he asks. "You’re my present this year," she responds. The camera zooms in on her shy glance, then cuts to his furtive, flirty smile."

Totally normal sibling banter, nothing to see here folks.

So

  1. Commercial

  2. Webtreads get crazy

  3. Wikipedia page about the things some treads imagined

  4. "Things some fringe group went crazy over" is how we define 'edgy trauma' now

By that logic, the pizza basements were real.

You mean threads?

Also, no, it's not fucking normal to say "you're my present this year" to your sister. Shit's creepy, the only way someone thinks it isn't is because they're either socially inept or a KHV.

What if your sister lives in a different country, and you haven't seen her in ages, and she comes to visit you, and then you find out she packed her really sexy lingerie?

Had me in the first half.

I was initially really confused about why you were suggesting someone was the koi herpes virus.

For any other confused fish people, KHV stands for kissless, hugless virgin.

socially inept

Oh, the irony.
You may not have caught it, but that phrase isn't what's innapropriate about the commercial.

You do understand the whole thing is creepy, right?

I watched the ad, never seen before... Am I blind for not seeing the mentioned sexual tension here?

Looks like a common american style ad to me.
