Ever play the original 2 fallouts? You can choose to have such a low intelligence level that every dialog is changed to be disadvantaged towards you. This is like that but with the charisma Stat instead
"You're wanted for 27 counts of first degree murder" "Do you drink Wilkins officer?" "No..." *Fades to black and then back to just Wilkins* "Better make that 28!"
“Kermit Wilkins, for 27 counts of murder and the killing of a police officer, I sentence you to death by hanging.” “May I ask something?” “If you absolutely must.” “Does anyone in this courtroom drink Wilkins coffee?” *everyone says no, except one* “If I find out you’re lying, there will be severe consequences.” *fades to black with screaming, then shows Wilkins and the entire courtroom covered in blood, except for the one who said yes* “That was a pretty harsh sentencing!” *Wilkins walks up to the person who said he drank Wilkins coffee* “Now, you are special. In all my righteous killings, I’ve never encountered someone who already drank Wilkins. Most who do drink it, I’ve tortured into doing so. I will take you as my son, Kermit the second. And you will spread the one true coffee all over the world.” And thus, the Kermit we know was created
@@lukethelegend9705 *Later in life* “Son, have a cup of Wilkin’s Coffee.” “Dad?” “Yes son?” “I’m tired. I’m tired of this murder.

We must share the joy of Wilkins!” “But dad, what joy is there to pushing people off of a plane for not liking Wilkins? What joy is there in bombing people’s homes for not liking Wilkins? What joy is there is brutally torturing those who simply have a different preference of drink? I remember what you did to Wontkins, and that police officer, and that courtroom… and my family…” “You didn’t need that family, Kermit. They didn’t drink Wilkins. They were unworthy. I’m the only family you need!” “No, you, and most of all, this coffee, are a disease!” *Kermit II grabs the cup and launches it off the table* “…” “…” “Son, you’ve made a grave mistake.” *lights close* *lights appear, Kermit is standing over Wilkins, who is bleeding from multiple wounds* “S-Son..” “I’m sorry father. It had to be done.” “Mark my words son, you may have defeated me… but you will taste… the wrath… of Wilkins…” *Wilkins dies* “Bet it’ll taste better than this coffee!”
I think Kermit wiping blood off a blade with only the inherent implication he humorlessly murdered Wontkins offscreen is the most brutal one. There’s no cartoony kersplat or rebuttal. Just a full stop murder.
I love how in the second last one, wontkins doesn't even express a negative opinion, but wilkins shoots him anyway, because even the ignorant cannot be redeemed.

"Some people never learn" "Some learn some don't". These aren't standalones. For whatever reason this muppet keeps coming back to life and this manic obsessed with Wilkins coffee keeps on killing him. Theses aren't adds. It's a horror movie.
@Bob Ross I forget where but in one of the movies or shows Kermit said "Some learn, some don't." And since they have same creator, I figured Kermit learned it from Wilkens.

This character is called Wilkins and isn't prototype Kermit.
In fact Kermit already was created two year before in the show Sam & Friends.
The part where Wilkins kicks wontkins off the tree will never fail to make me laugh, idk why
0:44 his little "help" sends me to heaven. Everytime.
“Some learn some don’t” absolutely cold blooded
Damn, that's some dark coffee!
I’ll take it black like Wilkins heart.
take my like and leave
Underrated comment
Its a "depresso" coffee
"Doesn't that coffee taste kinda flat?"
My favorite ad in the entire video. I laughed out loud at that joke.
we’re all in deep trouble because they no longer make Wilkins coffee. Prototype Kermit is going to make us all explode.
Him saying "nobody beats Wilkins" after literally shooting Wontkins in the head is just too perfect of a joke.
0:28 "now *all* our workers drink Wilkins" jesus christ because you murdered him
I love the “ I say man over board, help.” I love how he says it.
I finally got the names
Wilkins- 'Will' kins= Will drink the coffee
Wontkins- 'Won't' kins= Won't drink the coffee
Batman: "Tell me, do you drink Wilkon's Coffee?"
Superman:......
Batman: "You will!"
He'd rather die and get hurt than be forced to do something he doesn't want to do. I can respect that.
Robespierre: Finally! Time to put this to good use for the glory of the revolution-
Wilkins: Mind if I use this?
Robespierre: For what?
Wilkins: This machine will make you want a cup of Wilkins Coffee!
Wontkins: Not me!
Robespierre: YES, my first victim-
Wontkins: I'llll take mine with cream and sugar
Robespierre: 👁👄👁
i can imagine most of these gags in a commercial now, but jesus the one where he straight up shoots the guy is jarring and insane to me
And it’s a parody of political partys. It definitely wouldn’t sit right as a commercial for most people.
How could you not include the one where he ties Wontkins to the saw table and says "He always was a cut up"
"Some learn, some don't." That has to be the most threatening.
1:37 the joy that Wilkins has on his face when he turns to look at at camera before throwing Wontkins out of the plane is hilarious.
him staring into my soul, asking “what do you think about wilkin’s coffee” made my fight or flight instincts activate
The last one hit hard
"Some people never learn"
"Some learn some don't".
These aren't standalones. For whatever reason this muppet keeps coming back to life and this manic obsessed with Wilkins coffee keeps on killing him. Theses aren't adds. It's a horror movie.
It’s happy deathday but with coffee.
Madness Combat
they aren't adds, they're subtracts
Giving me some serious Diavolo vibes
@@jamfingers55 "damn it, how many more times will I die?!"
hey dude, do you want some Wilkins?
"no!... DON'T COME NEAR ME!!"
The bomb being pushed through the house window cracked me up. Something about his silent shouting through the window got me
These ads are 60 years old and somehow hold up perfectly with todays humour
We need ads like these today
“You gonna run against the Wilkins Coffee Party?”
“Start the race!”
_”OnyourmarkgetsetGO!”_
*_BANG_*
I’ve never seen a jar of Wilkins Instant Coffee. Wilkins won the battle but Wontkins won the war.
Thank God Kermit didn't end up as cruel as his dad😳
"Son, do you want to have some Wilkin's coffee?"
"Erm, no Daddy I just want you to stop hitting Mommy..."
@@eyeguydojima7131 Should have drank the coffee
@@eyeguydojima7131 “Well son! You know what they say!”
*smacks Kermit across the face, knocking him out*
“Never too late for an abortion!”
1:33
"I hate to tell ya but, you dont have a future."
Damn thats cold as hell
"What about my future?"
"You don't have a future..."
This feels like a weird analog horror creepypasta in the making, and I'm honestly all for it
1:45
When someone runs against Stalin in the Soviet elections

pov: you are trotsky
“DRINK OUR COFFEE OR DIE”
This is The Way.
I love that Jim Henson always had a morbid sense of humor.
We need ads like this
1:12 So that's where Kermit got that quote from.
@Bob Ross I forget where but in one of the movies or shows Kermit said "Some learn, some don't." And since they have same creator, I figured Kermit learned it from Wilkens.
@@jbktpl1245 tink its the fist muppet movie in a song (but i cloud be mistaken or he said that quote more than once)
Man, "Proto-Kermit" had absolutely no chill, haha.
I'm just gonna say it, This is probably Jim's best work.
This type of humor is so timeless somehow, it’s like a time capsule we opened and what was inside it was pure gold.
"It's autumn, and the nuts are beginning to fall"
Most underrated statement in advertising
