[cstoczyn]

@Fragglevision LOL

[mwermuthland]

One of the characters is named Wilkins, and in one commercial, Wontkins actually acknowledges Mr. Wilkins. I wonder if he ever noticed this or the fact that his "friend" has the same name as the coffee he hates. Though I wonder if the two were ever referred to by name in any commercials.

[cstoczyn]

@mwermuthland Me 2

[MasterBuilder09]

People seem to be commenting that Kermit used to be a mean homicidal maniac. I would like to point out that the character is not Kermit at all but Wilkins, a character created for these adverts.

[krusher1977]

Harsh, but the good kind of harsh...

[rebrella]

LOL Kermit used to be an asshole!

Likes.

[FigmentJedi]

@rebrella It's not Kermit, just a character named Wilkins. Early Kermit was basically the same as modern Kermit but without the collar and flippers

[JebbyStudio]

@rebrella Actually, that's not Kermit in the commercials. The Muppets featured in these commercials were specially made by Jim Henson to star in Wilkins Coffee advertisements. The Muppet you're referring to is named Wilkins and the other one is named Wontkins.

[cstoczyn]

@JebbyStudio I Get It

[F1315NJ]

@rebrella That's not Kermit

[omgitsbecki]

@rebrella I'm pretty sure that's not Kermit...

[TBAWriter]

@nightowl1000a Actually, this was an early version of Kermit.

[QIsForK12]

@TBAWriter I thought the original Kermit puppet existed before this (Wilkins came in 1957, Sam and Friends in 1955), with the correct eyes.

[TBAWriter]

@QIsForK12 I checked, and you're right. I stand corrected.

[QIsForK12]

@TBAWriter THANKS WIKIPEDIA :D

[cstoczyn]

@QIsForK12 Thanks

[cstoczyn]

@TBAWriter I Understand

[powerpup97]

@rebrella That's not Kermit, but he is an asshole, that's for sure.

[MasterBuilder09]

@rebrella It's not Kermit. He is a totally different character named Wilkins.

[cstoczyn]

@MasterBuilder09 I Get It

[MIBsecretagent]

@rebrella thats not kirmet

[DaveThePuppetGuy]

I haven't seen thouse yet.

[cstoczyn]

@DaveThePuppetGuy Me Neither

[nozcr]

Sheesh! Kermit was quite a sadist as a tadpole, wasn't he?

[SuperDooperVideoBoy]

@nozcr Actually that's Wilkins and his friend there is Wontkins.

[cstoczyn]

@SuperDooperVideoBoy O I C

[cstoczyn]

[nozcr]
