Apparently, according to these atrocious puppets (what’s with all the puppets in this site lately?), if you don’t drink Wilkins coffee, there’s one clear thing to remember.
You’re a FUCKIN’ IDIOT.
Oh, and apparently the skinnier muppet’ll shoot you in the face. Just FYI.
As far as I’m aware, there’s a whole slew of fucked-up marketing videos from this period; I think McCarthyism somehow found puppet violence a tad slippery to deal with.

He is a writer and film critic for Yen Magazine, and insists he is a regular columnist for Horse and Hound magazine (unverified). He recently finished a weekly series for The Vine called Curiageous where he answered people's burning questions and drank his own urine. He enjoys ducks.
Luke Ryan (left) is a stand-up comic, writer, and general man-about-town. He is a news blogger and feature writer for The Vine and also writes for the music blog Electrorash and the street mag ThreeThousand. In 2009 he performed at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in his oh so descriptively titled show 'Luke's Got Cancer'. It was funnier than it sounds.
Both of them spend more of their time then they should perusing the Internet and gaming. The Somewhat Ambitious is essentially the product of this excess.

I love the concept of muppet based extortion… I would totally buy this coffee based on it (even though I don’t drink coffee).
I started drinking carlton draft during the “big ad” phase and stopped when those ads stopped.
I wish ads were better nowdays
