What's he going to do? He already shot. He has to reload, which is going to take a while for a puppet to do.
You don't want Wilkins Coffee™?
THEN DIE
I feel this is the subtext of the ads, but I've been wrong before.
The best one is the fencing one. Perfect dead pan
Holy shit these are such gold, I love finding older media with humor that fits right in today
It's like the ad's in Rejected but real.
You want a cup of ligma?
Only if it is salty, tangy with a pungent musky odor.
I could totally see that “frog” doing a ligma type joke.
Who's Steve Jobs?
This is like the predecessor to the Panda cheese commercials.
The characters were so popular, you could get a set of puppets for $1 and a coffee label They were the first Muppet toys.
I suppose this must have inspired those commercials with the panda that does mean things to people for not having bought Panda Cheese.
You don't see commercials like these anymore.
Is that supposed to be Kermit?

We may never know
Reminds me of Ricky Bobby. “If you don’t drink Wilkins coffee, then fuck you.”
These are ahead of their time
Some of the best commercials ever made.
I’ve never even seen Wilkins coffee but I want a cup for my safety.
Traitor! That is capitalist coffee!
I heard that Jim Henson hated coffee and he imagined scenarios that would make him drink coffee and put them into those adverts.
According to Wikipedia, Wilkins coffee became a part of Maxwell House.
