Sunday YouTube: Folger's Commercial

This is just laughable. I'd love to hear what you'd say (or do) to your husband if he pulled this on you. Seriously. Leave me a comment. This one's too good not to discuss.

This is laughable! My husband makes most of the coffee around here but if he ever said that to me I would tell him to make his own d*** coffee or go without.

It is a great glimpse into the 50's, though!

[Melanie]

How retro! My husband is a coffee snob, it has to be freshly ground. I think if he were to complain in that manner he'd be heading to urgent care to check on his second degree burns. ;^)

[trashalou]

Hahahaha! That was soooo funny. I don't drink coffee and so never make it unless under direct instruction but I imagine CK would be reeling from some sort of verbal onslaught.

[Eva]

I'd be certain our marriage was in desperate need of some pastoral counseling if my husband made that big a deal over coffee! A sure sign of some other deeper issue. He's probably cheating, at least emotionally.

But then, we don't drink coffee, and so perhaps I don't appreciate the attention one needs to give to making a good cup for one's beloved.

[Emily]

Okay, maybe it was the candle thing at the end, but it sure seems that 'coffee' was just a euphemism. Therefore, if my husband was getting his 'coffee' at the office, well, let's just say we'd be having bigger issues than my kitchen skills.

[Mrs. Who]

I once poured a pitcher of Kool-Aid in my husband's lap. I wonder how hot coffee would feel?

[Jen]

Uh, yeah, I agree with the others...hot coffee in his lap!

[Sunshine]

In the lap!!

[emily]

ha! we don't drink coffee, so if he started complaining about how i made his morning cup, i'd mostly be confused. but pretending that we did? i'd probably give him a boot to the behind. i don't need that kind of hassle for trying to help him. he can make his own coffee!

[Jean]

I'm in agreement with Eva, that there was more to this than just "coffee".

[Karen]

After I poured the hot coffee on him, I'd say: "there's a Starbucks on the corner. Get me one while you're at it....."

[d]

Since I can't and don't make coffee I feel pretty safe that this won't happen. If it did, hopefully he'd know to get out of the way when I threw the coffee pot at him.

[Joanna]

Well, I actually thought it was funny! lol

"Yeah, well why don't you see if one of the girls will wash your tightywhities for ya, cause I'm done."

yeah, times have changed a little.

[Danielle]

Girls at the office??!!!

Why, I'm simply horrified!!!

A woman outside the home? Unconscionable!

{I hope the sarcasm was implied...}

[Gina]

He would have been in the dog house for that... and he would be making his own damn coffee from here on out.

[Shalee]

I'm thinking that I would tell him that he'd have to go to the girls for more than coffee from here on out...

[Julie Stiles Mills]

I JUST watched a BUNCH of these on you tube last month. Stinkin hilarious! I'm still not able to believe life was even remotely like this.

THANK GOODNESS I was not a wife back then.

[Jen]

Can you even imagine if they put something like this on tv now. Times have certainly changed. I agree with the commenter above that said to tell the husband to just go to Starbuck's.
