      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.

        “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.

        It would have been funny if the actors actually were attracted to each other and that bled through into their performance, lol

          That makes it so much worse.

          You see how he bit his lip? Now that’s some sexual tension.

            No, it doesn’t. Have you seen how a 6 year-old looks up to a much older sibling?

            “You’re my present.” From a 6 year old, that’s cute. From a 20 year old, that’s sexual. From a 14 year old? I don’t know what it is but it doesn’t make me want coffee.

            I think if he was acting with a 6 year old, that wouldn’t have been his expression. I doubt the script said “bite lip.”

        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.

          That’s way less weird than I was expecting based on the comments. Not how I have ever interact with my sibling though. But, we’re very different people. I don’t think being happy that your older brother/sister is home for the holidays is weird in any way though.
