I actually never knew about these until a guy was trying to sell a Wilkins Muppet on Pawn Stars. Apparently these commercials were from the 50s and 60s and they are pretty demented.

Some of these are fine but other ones... they are just too dark. I am shocked they allowed these to air.

"Do you like this coffee?"
"No."

I agree. In several of them Wilkins is implied to murder Wontkins and it's just really dark for not only Jim Henson, but a 1950s advertising campaign

I mean if we look at other things during the 50's... It can explain some things...
