The Best Part of Waking Up: Housewives Who Can't Even Make Coffee!

This is one of my favorite commercials of all time. It is a Folger's coffee commercial featuring Harvey, the unappreciative and jerky husband who is probably doing more than drinking coffee with the girls at the office, Harvey's wife, who is so bad at making coffee she doesn't deserve a kiss goodbye, or even a name for that matter, and Harvey's wife's friend who has been using some of mother's little helpers.




 


Luckily for me, there are several of these delightful commercials in existence. Another one of my favorites is the following:



  


I felt like I was watching an episode of "Law and Order"! She was trying to kill her husband - and the petunias - with non-delicious coffee! Dundun! Dadadada-DA! (That was the "Law and Order" theme music.) You can tell the grocery store owner knows this particular woman is simple in the head by the technique he used to sell her the coffee. He told her it was grown in the mountains, and made a mountain with his arms. Please not that not only did she buy the coffee, but she repeated the action that night while feeding her husband the coffee that finally tasted just fine, but was actually poisoned because she had had enough of his crap. Don't like your coffee? Make it yourself!
