I like having kerns bread with wilkins coffee
Well I dont
@@howardball1289BOOM things seem to happen to people who dont drink wilkins coffee
@@howardball1289and the other
@@howardball1289 well well well will RUclipsrs I just kidding
I do to
The amount of bread Commercials Jim has done is insane
Compared to the coffee though?
The bread market was pretty big in the 50s! This was the era where supermarkets and at home food became a norm. same with coffee
"I have done nothing but shoot bread commercials for three days!"
I agree.
I'm eating a McGarry's sausage sandwich made with Kern's bread and washed down with a cup of Wilkins coffee. May I be permitted to live?
Wilkins: yes and you are my friend
Those companies are still around?
Did you drink Frank’s Soda?
Don't forget to call someone on a C&P Telephone
Or Red Diamond coffee
How come we don't have commercials like this anymore? They're freaking hilarious haha!
0:53 because of this I believe
@@rabbidsnipes5654 cancel culture would be outraged
Because people today want violence in their movies, television shows, and video games, but get offended if even a hint of it shows up in a commercial.
Because ad design these days seems to be mainly done formulaicly, and by MBA-for-brains people who are overly hung up on calculated optimization of ad effectiveness.
That being said, we probably _do_ still get punchy stuff like this now and again... but we miss it due to mainly watching on paid streaming services and on YT with adblock.
We'll get it back, commercials like these can have violence played for laughs, it's called comedy.

Tommy: Why don't you eat Kern's bread?
Fred: I do not approve of the violence in their television commercials! *gets grabbed by a gorilla off screen*
Tommy: Violence? What violence?
I love how evil Tommy looks.
He is like taminela
King Kong V: karma for supporting the people that killed my family!
@@zaythecreator846
He is, Jim re-used her puppet to make Fred
@@marsandcobblesproductions3501
Makes sense. I'm guessing Fred's puppet was also redesigned. He looks very similar to Bert so I wonder if his character design was recycled as well.
@@sageturmelle
Now you mention it, they do look similar
1:58
You can hear the crunch as his neck gets stepped on. He’s definitely dead.
Jim Henson was utterly brutal back in the day.
That was a meaty crunch too
Pain
All for KERNS bread my friend
RIP Jim
Rest in peace Fred
They should have a bakery on Sesame Street and these guys should run it
Oh my, I don’t think that’s a good idea on Tommy’s end. He would torture everyone who don’t like Kerns Bread.
And that, my friend, would ruin the kids show that Sesame Street has become today, without violence.
@@TheOfficial_YoItSJaKe4091 that sounds fun
I mean, yeah, Cyanide & MajorBrawl, it’d be a good/fun idea. But, It would probably get the two taken off the show immediately. And parents would be thrilled that a loving kids’ show like SS could have full-on violence and even impact their children. And the kids would learn to act this way, too. This could eventually lead the show on a road to downfall.
But they are just 2 muppets. I’d honestly like it (if they did) to be that they weren’t violent on the show, but obviously violent in their commercials.
@@TheOfficial_YoItSJaKe4091 do you love kern's bread?
Of course! 😟
Jim Henson in his commercials: do you like product?
Other: no
Jim Henson: *inflicts violence upon the civilian* let’s try that again shall we?
Step 4. Profit $$$$
Thweeep thomp
Nothing better than having Kern's bread with a nice hot cup of Wilkin's coffee to start the day.
You have to don't you
Did you have McGarry's Sausages to go with those?
I don't usually eat bread by itself but these are the kind of commercials that would make me want to try it, that's a good sign when the commercial actually gets me to want the product instead of pushing me away from it like most commercials nowadays.
Wilkins: Do you like to drink?
Wontkins: Yes.
Wilkins: Do you like to drink coffee?
Wontkins: Yes.
Wilkins: Do you like to drink Wilkins Coffee?
Wontkins: No. *gets hit with a bat*
Wilkins: Shall we try that again?
Violence what violence ha
Wilkins is fat And Won’tkins is skinny
@@SpelichaKennalifich1524 You got it backwards
Never
Every time I whach jim Henson commercials it makes me feel bad about his death
He will live on in his Works. But yes!
Kids: Depressed.
The Entire School System: 0:45
This is very underrated
"Ya gotta be positive"
Family Guy moment
Relatable
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
I like how often they reuse jokes through brands
“Violence? What violence?”
And he just looks at you while tapping his fingers together like, “you didn’t see anything, right buddy?”
(Outro)
1:00
Tommy: Bop diddly de Bop Gabi boom boom!
Suzy: What on earth Is going on?
Tommy: Gabi tea Is always on my mind!
Suzy: I think It gone to his head.
Tommy: Hey buddy, do you want Gabi tea or brand X?
Suzy: So what so good about Gabi tea?
(BOOM!)
Tommy: There Is only one thing It doesn't blow up.
Tommy: Do you like to drink?
Suzy: Yes.
Tommy: Do you like to drink tea?
Suzy: Yes.
Tommy: Do you like to drink Gabi tea?
Suzy: No?
(THONK) Suzy: Oh!
Tommy: Shall we try that again?
Tommy: Hey fella!
Suzy: Oh!
Tommy: Do you like Gabi tea?
Suzy: Ooh, well geez I don't know I guess-
(KABOOM!)
Tommy: You gonne be a positive.
“ violence? What violence? “
The timing of that one commercial is perfect.
It was probably based off of an actual complaint they got
@@darthbiz2095 No doubt. But I meant the timing on this particular video.
the happy jingle at the end made it more terrifying tbh
Wilkins: Knock Knock!
Wontkins: Who’s there?
Wilkins: Wilkins!
Wontkins: Wilkins who?
Wilkins: Wilkins Coffee!
Wontkins: I don’t get it.
Wilkins: You should! (Slap) Everybody should get Wilkins Coffee!
there's something pure about this kind of advertising. barebones 7 second comedy advertisement performed by puppets. its genius
I can't be the only one who loves Tommy's design
I love it too
I like these puppets. The unique jokes are good, and that crazy puppet sells the reused jokes best
These comments:
80%: Substituting Wilkins and Wontkins, and Wilkins Coffee, or some similar brand.

*explosion*
Wilkins: well for one thing it doesn’t blow up
*fwEEEEEEEEP! THONK!*
It’s hard to eat a sandwich without incurring the wrath of 3 bread brands.
When i think about Kerns bread i think about those braided rugs my mom and her friends crocheted out of strips cut from the bags. They called them "bread bag ties" and my mom made several of them. I wish I had one of them now. I remember the rows of red, blue, yellow, and white from the bags all nicely arranged on the rugs.

Man these are great. I remember how excited I was to catch my favorite commercial right at the beginning. Good times
These commercials I would love to see on TV today.
Wilkins: Bob didly dee-bob Wilkins, Bom, bom.
Wontkins: What on Earth is going on?
Wilkins: Wilkins Coffee is always on my mind!
Wontkins: I think it's gone through his head.
I remember watching these as a kid.
One of the most important things I look for in buying bread is that it does not blow up
“Hey buddy! You want Kern’s Bread or Brand X?”
“Well,what’s so good about Kern’s Bread?”
*KA-BOOM!*
“Well, for one thing, it doesn’t blow up!”
A Taste of Kern's Bread is Like Music To My Ears
What are the cymbals for?
@@xboxgamesxbox9455 this Is a Very cymbalic commercial
@@ivansimonov6076 do you like Nash’s coffee
I have a hunch i'm being followed!
Have you started eating a sandwich made with Kern's Bread?
"What's so good about Kern's bread?"
"Well, for one thing, it doesn't blow up!"
Just as good as the Wilkin's Coffee ads.
Kern's bread commercials are the best
Classic Commercials
That’s why I always have a slice of Kern’s bread with my cup of Wilkins instant coffee.
I miss kern bread old😿😿
Wilkins: the taste of Wilkins Coffee is like music to my ears.
Wontkins: what are the symbols for? BANG!!!
Wilkins: this is a very symbolic commercial.
1:28 Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
I feel like I'm in a alternative timeline to the coffee commercials
These Vintage Jim Henson Commercials are the best!, and also Hilarious.😁😄
Wilkins:why don’t you drink Wilkins instant coffee?
Wontkins:I don’t like the violence in their commercials.
Gorilla pulls Wontkins off screen
Wilkins:violence? What violence?
Wow. This alone really makes me regret missing out on the 1960s. Even if I'd be really old here in 2022.
“Bob didly dee-bob, Kern’s™️, Bom, bom.”
“What on earth is going on?......”
“Kern’s™️ Bread is always on my mind!”
“I think it’s gone to his head.........”
*FWEEEE THONK*
The taste of Kern's bread is like music to my ears
What are the symbols for
(crash) This is a simbolic commercial
@@s.r.a.d.p.l1571 free honk
The gone to his head joke was quite funny.
Note to self. Once a day, maybe more if needed, eat a sandwich with bread that’s part Kern’s, part Claussens, part Merita, and part Taystee, and a side of McGarry’s sausages with a bottle of Frank’s, a bottle of Faygo, a bottle of Calso water, a cup of Kraml milk, and a blend of Wilkins, Nash’s, Community, La Tourainne, and Red Diamond coffee. Did I appease Wilkins?
Don’t forget getting some dugan’s bread and checking for a jackpot win at SOHIO
You also need jomar instant
0:09 ERNIE AS BERT
Fred: What are you eating?
Tommy: A sandwich made with Kern's bread, wanna bite?
Fred: Yeah.
Tommy: *bites his arm*
Fred: AH! HE'S A SHARP SALESMAN!
This is what adverts should be man, short and sweet
“Violence? What violence?” Ok that was awesome XD
This is literally Tamanilla Grinderfall, and the Prime Minister from the Tales of the Tinkeree pilot. Just realized that.
Tammy Grinderfall's son Tommy ended up selling Kern's bread, the P.M. got demoted, left Tinkerdee, and changed his name to "Fred". Same puppet, different character.
Jim was never a man to let puppets go to waste.
0:39 WATCH OUT! HE’S GOT A GUN!!!😳😱🔫 This is dark comedy for children of the late 20th century!
These two puppets(Tommy and Fred) were previously used in the Tales Of Tinkerdee pilot. The puppet used for Tommy was previously used for Taminella Grinderfall and the puppet used for Fred was previously used for the prime minister.

People who don't eat Kern's Bread just blow up sometimes.

Damn, add campaigns were bloody viscous back in the day.
I love these Kern's Bread commercials, don't you?
I'm tired of them.

Kerns who?
Kerns bread!
I don’t get it.
You should, (slaps Fred on the back) everybody should get kerns bread!

Mr.kern's sent his regards
I think Tommy and Wilkins would get along well. Nothing beats breakfast with Kern's Bread and Wilkins Coffee.
Kern and Wilkins should run a bakery on Sesame Street.
The guy who wrote the commercials for WIlkin's Coffee wrote the ones for Kern's Bread. And the publishers didn't suspect a thing because they were drinking Coca Cola with real cocaine in it.
1:10
meet the first hat to go to the moon
They don’t make commercials like this anymore. The commercials today drive people to read books!
Alternate title: Bert gets abused for 2 minutes and 4 seconds straight
1:52 - *Tommy:* My friend here is gonna tell you how much he loves Kern's bread!"
*Fred:* What'll Mr. Kern's do if I refuse?"
Wait HOLD UP: Shouldn't it be "What'll Mr. _Kern_ do if I refuse?" Not a possessive?
Yeah. But the Kern's Bakery marketers evidently weren't bothered enough by the error to make Henson re-do the ad, so...

The Cinema Snob's review of Ferry Cross the Mersey brought me here.
Grimace before McDonalds:
Why were all of Jim's commercials from the time so... intense lol. Between this and the Wilkin's Coffee ads, I feel he was working through something.
A couple reasons I think
1. They had to be very short
2. They had to be memorable
3. Wanted to implement some unique puppetry
and
4. bc threatening ppl into buying something works wonders...jk but u know lol. I know the wilkins ads were so over the top bc Jim personally hated coffee so he thought of what it’d take for him to drink it
The yellow puppet is Bert's grandfather
I make my peanut butter sandwich with Kerns bread
Spare me
My friend here is gonna tell you how much he loves Kerns bread.
What’ll mr kerns do if I refuse?
(A foot steps on Fred)
Oh he’ll probably put his foot down.
This makes wilkins look tame.
Wanna do commercials on TikTok or YT or wherever? This is how!
I like the early version of Bert. It also looks and sounds like an early version of Ernie. Wait, is that their grown son? LOLOLOL I am sick!
No, it's the Prime Minister of Tinkerdee
@@ZeldaTheSwordsman Tales of the Tinkerdee? I never knew! Thanks so much! I'm going to research this!

be sure to wash down that Kern's bread with some Wilkins coffee
Red Pearl: Hey Pink Diamond!
Do you want Red Diamond Coffee or Brand X?
Pink Diamond: What's so good about Red Diamond Coffee?
(Brand X explodes)
Red Pearl: Well, for one thing, it doesn't blow up.
The thing is, the big guy looks like someone who will hurt you. Wilkin’s doesn’t. He looks innocent, wide-eyed and small. So when he gets violent, it’s unexpected, catches you off guard, and Wilkin’s cheery, light voice is the cherry on top.
The big guy has small eyes, dark eyes, a big frame, and a deep voice. I’m expecting him to rough up the skinny, kind of weeny guy, so the violence isn’t as shocking. If the roles were reversed, and the skinny guy was the one getting rough with the big guy (you can keep the voices the same) then I’d be more surprised because that’s not what I’d be expecting.
However, the Prime Minister's puppet (used for Fred) isn't set up to laugh or smile the way Wilkins can, whereas the Taminella Grinderfall puppet (used for Tommy) very much is. And while it's not as shocking, it does allow Tommy to have a boisterous energy that Wilkins lacks.
