Happy Birthday to the Folgerscest queen, Catherine Combs. It may not be the role she hoped for, nor one she'll ever embrace, but the fact remains Folgerscest wouldn't have quite the same allure without her. For that, she'll always have a special place in our hearts. Here's to another year of being our special present.

We wish you a merry incest

We wish you a merry incest

And an incestuous affair

Important Numbers:

146

AKA the Rare-Pair Threshold

If your pairing has fewer fics than this, it’s a Rarepair. Why was this particular number selected, you may ask? Well, you see:

That’s how many fics exist for the fucking Folgers Incest Commercial. If your pairing has fewer fics than that, I’m sorry, you’re in crackship territory.

It's that time of year again

[be-gay-find-cryptids]

I just don't feel that holiday spirit until I watch that ad of those two siblings seconds away from committing a crime against God

...

The spirit of chrysler is almost upon us and I'm so stoked, watch out for my Film & TV Recommendations for Christmas in a few weeks :)

Hatsune: "I love you. I will go make some coffee so you rest a bit longer."

Sakiko: "I hate that smell."

This is the second most incestous scene involving brewing two cups of coffee I have ever seen.

Yet again I am away from my computer and nonetheless compelled to write jaytim as though my life depended upon it

This is a snippet that will... probably(?) go in Chained at some point so spoiler warning for below the cut, but it should be funny enough on its own for folks who aren't interested in that to enjoy it too 👍

Dick carefully punches in the codes to disable Tim's second story window alarms and comes in out of the late December chill. He's not being particularly stealthy, since all he's here to do is drop off a small present before Christmas - but then he hears Tim and someone who sounds suspiciously like exiled-from-Gotham-and-totally-disappeared-off-face-of-Earth Jason, and decides to switch to maximum stealth instead.

They're standing around in Tim's kitchen (which actually looks well used for once) sharing coffee. Jason's striped down to nothing but boxers and Tim is draped in an oversized shirt that leaves it a mystery as to weather or not he's got anything covering his ass. Something about the way Tim is looking at Jason's chest makes him uncomfortable.

He's expecting Jason to be uncomfortable with it too and snap at him for staring at his scars - instead when Jason notices Tim's gaze, he smiles smugly and makes his pecs bounce.

Dick silently recoils in shock, while Tim blushes a bright red and thwaps Jason with a hand towel.

"You're supposed to say 'my eyes are up here'!"

"Hey, normally I would, but we both know that these..." He gestures lasciviously to his chest. "Are the only things keeping your eyes from wandering down here." He gestures the same way down to his boxers which are actually tented when he holds them at this angle and- holy fucking shit why is he wearing a strap-on?!?

That- that is way too fucking big and hard to be a packer why is he... With Tim... Both half naked... Flirting over coffee... Strapped...

Dick rapidly begins spiraling towards something like a mental breakdown, because not only is his little brother who's freshly murdered someone (AGAIN!!) being harbored by his other little brother who he loves to absolute death and he's going to have to fight both of them over this, potentially on Christmas - not only is the world possibly ending in like four months - not only that but they're apparently fucking each other too!

Which... Kinda isn't the most surprising thing ever? It breaks his heart in two to think it, but honestly how could Jason not assume that he's been utterly disowned at this point? Is Dick even right to still think of him as family? Maybe this was a long time coming...

Tim blushes an even deeper red and rolls his eyes. "Well, gee, thanks for helping to keep your little brother's thoughts chaste."

The words 'little brother' hit him like a psychic mac truck to the forehead.

It's supposed to be sarcasm, but his tone is far too fond and too flirtatious, and his eyes are still far too low, and 'little brother' wasn't said like the punchline it was said like it was true, and they're smiling at each other as they each sip their coffee and-

That's when he spots it.

Bright red and perfectly centered between them. One large container of coffee. Folgers. Coffee.

Dick officially snaps.

The x-files theme plays over clips of that goddawful commercial and the image before him of his own two siblings reenacting that same energy right before his eyes.

Dick stealthily goes back down the hall and right out the window and up to Tim's front door and rings the doorbell repeatedy until Tim opens the door, looking flustered and just a touch guilty.

"Uh, hi? Wha- are you good?"

Dick pushes passed him and marches right up to the kitchen. "Got a case, sorry about this, but there's no time to explain."

"Should I be getting my suit on??"

"Nope! No, no, no, you just stay here. Just don't touch anyone for the next like twenty four hours and you'll be fiiiine!"

Jason has predictably vanished by the time he gets there, but Tim's coffee is still hot and on the counter.

He swipes both the cup and the container of grounds right off the counter and starts marching back towards the door to leave, to go down into the batcave and test this shit for psychoactive chemicals!

"My coffee? Seriously?? Dick what the fuck?!"

"Crane and or Ivy, don't ask, no time, just don't touch anyone!"

Tim looks at him like he's a lunatic as he runs back out the door, but he's earned that lunatic status so they can both be excused.

---

Jason eyes his coffee, takes another sip. It doesn't taste poisoned. He shrugs and drinks the rest.

---

(Dick is ultimately glad that the lab tests come back clear. Whatever is happening between them it's better that it's not... chemically induced.

He's still gonna have to have a whole internal crisis about it though.)

Legacy of the Folgers Incest Commercial

The other day I saw an ad for Folgers coffee that used the song "bad reputation" by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, and I thought, do they know? Did they pick this song because they wanted to appeal to a younger audience, or were they poking fun at what the true reputation of Folgers coffee has become? Because when I think of Folgers, as I'm sure that many other people on this hellsite can agree, I only think of one thing. That's right, I'm talking about the incest commercial.

For those of you that don't know, in 2009, Folgers wanted to reimagine their classic Christmas ad with a new version, titled, "Coming Home." The ad was intended to be homey and nostalgic, focusing on a family coming together for the holiday season. But what we got was a commercial that had some... other implications about family.

The siblings portrayed in the commercial came across to some as uncomfortably flirty. And the internet agreed. Soon there were memes everywhere, fanart, parody videos— even fanfiction.

 So what happened?

Folgers is a big brand, after all. This commercial would have likely had to go through multiple higher-ups and marketing executives who all watched it and said, “yeah, looks good. Let’s air it.”

The idea behind the commercial was that it featured an older brother coming home from his work in the Peace Corps overseas, only to discover that his younger sister had grown up quite a bit while he was away. This was intended to be addressed in a playful manner since he hardly recognized her, and everyone loved the idea.

On the surface, this idea could have worked. I think the main issue is that A: the two actors portrayed had way too much chemistry with each other, and B: in their attempts to make this ad feel cozy like a Hallmark Christmas movie, they...shot it like a Hallmark Christmas movie, romance and all.

I think the lesson to be learned here is that next time, maybe show your ad to a test group first before airing it nationally.
