"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.

I had never viewed this commercial before today. After reading the comments here, naturally I wanted to see it for myself and followed a link. I honestly didn't see anything other than standard sibling interactions. The early morning "dreamy-style" lighting (prime coffee drinking time) is the only thing that gave off a romantic atmosphere of any kind. From the comments here it's clear others see something between the two across but it feels like a bit of a reach to me.
I thought it was referring to the parody continuation.
Which was only made because people got incest vibes from the original...
Okay..the parody was funny. Lol. Thank you for sharing that.

Sorry, but gen Xers weren't allowed to express genuine feelings for siblings.

You have some massive sexual tension between your siblings.
And that's hot
Do you have siblings? Because the way they are portrayed on pornhub is not how it really is
I think if you go into it knowing they're siblings, it's all fine and normal. The rest of us saw the commercial blind, naturally interpreted the relationship as romantic and then were surprised to learn they're siblings and the recalibration was funny. If you have no context, and you're trying to interpret what the relationship is, at the beginning it definitely resembles a romantic relationship more than a sibling friendship

This is definitely not normal sibling interactions. It is categorically creepy and the direction makes it seem like theyre romantic partners.
It's just the porn addicted weirdos whose first thought was incest.
Pretty much everyone thought it was a weird commercial, that's why it blew up. Even Wikipedia calls it the incest ad lmao

I'm in the Don't Know camp. What's the deal with the commercial?
It's about a brother and sister being happy to see each other at Christmas after he comes home from some volunteer thing overseas. For some reason, people have been shipping them as a brother/sister incest pairing. There's legit porn fan fiction about this one commercial, it's super weird
Some days I forget I’m on the internet and then I read some shit like this. I woke up 20 minutes ago and that’s already enough internet for me today.
Posted from a lemmynsfw account 🤔🤔🤔
Maybe they meant that they're already done masturbating for the day? Just 20 minutes into browsing? High praise indeed for this incest coffee porn, I say. Good job, Folgers.
The best part of waking up, is bustin that morning nut.

"Some reason"
The reason being that anyone who has siblings and watched that commercial thought they acted like lovers, not siblings.
I only have same-sex siblings and thought it was weird, so when I saw the memes and stuff, I asked my friends with opposite-sex siblings what they thought. They said the same.
It's so weird. It plays more like they're in a relationship but they both have a sibling incest kink!
Actually if you watch it with that in mind it's weirdly wholesome. You do you, freaks. Glad you found each other.
...now off to call my boyfriend "bro" and see what happens.
E: I said, "I'm gonna take a nap, bro," and he looked confused and told me that was a good idea (since we have Pathfinder later). Guess it's not his thing!

It's the direction of the commercial. The editing, the long drawn out eye contact, the lack of family likeness. The director shot it like a romance.
It's because the commercial looked very "more than brother and sister" during the commercial. It was pretty abnormal behavior.
I was fully prepared to think people were overreacting, but it really is bizarre. The cherry on the cake is the brother's lip bite toward the end. He must already know his sister adores him, right? So WTF is he getting all bashful when she expresses that? I can easily imagine the excitement depicted here in myself when I see my distant siblings. I can also easily imagine knocking on my sister's door, and then joking I must have the wrong house, but it didn't seem like it was a joke for him - it seemed like genuine surprise that his sister is all grown up to the point he didn't recognize her. Shit is weird. But fuck, the lip bite?! I know I'm not everybody, but I feel like a more normal response to a sibling expressing "you're my present this year", would be like, "awwwww" and a hug. It sure was fuck isn't a lip bite.
FUCKING. BIZARRE.

Brothers and sisters don't look at each other like that, brother 😅
"Weird." Any and every porn now seems to have an incest angle to it.
What are you doing step ladder?

The way they filmed the commercial is bizarre. It's a 20ish year old coffee commercial. The sister gives her brother a cup of coffee and the whole thing is filmed with an odd romantic tension. It's just strange.
It would have been funny if the actors actually were attracted to each other and that bled through into their performance, lol
After viewing it, it seems like the writer envisioned a much younger actress.

First eww.
Second, why is he missing coffee when coming back from a coffee producing region? (And I know this is a matter of taste, but I personally think Ivory Coast produces some of the best coffee in the world)
I wouldn't say Folgers is worse than incest, but their have been cases of separated siblings hooking up unknowingly, and how can you blame them? But nobody could mistake Folgers for a good cup of coffee.

Fun fact: the sister in this commercial is played by Catherine Combs, the daughter of Star Trek everyman Jeffrey Combs.
Well that explains it. She obviously also plays his lover in another commercial, as well as his nemesis, and also the Folgers QA rep, so he was confused.
The first three takes were of her greeting her brother by saying "BRUNT, F.C.A."

Only in an American advert could a character come back from a major coffee producing region and think the shit in that tub is real coffee.

Most sexual tension between on screen siblings outside of 'life with Derek'
