I can’t help but watch every Gazelle.com commercial because I am so inexplicably attracted to that spokeswoman. Maybe it’s her smile or her voice but she’s so sexy to me.
Judging by the comments on the video, a significant fraction of YouTube users see their interaction style as implying an incestuous romantic relationship.
No, I don’t see it either. And a significant fraction of YouTube commenters are fscking morons, so I’m inclined to just let it go …
She’s alright, but doesn’t hold a candle to the other two.
The brother and sister are totally doing it. My theory is that the two actors discovered they had “chemistry” during the rehearsal process and that vibe between them just carried over into the finished product.
I see an overly sappy commercial…no incest, though. My brother and I are pretty stinkin close. She looks like a high school kid who adores her big brother. (Don’t we all?)
Gah - Gazelle.com spokescutie is just a skosh too perky for my taste. She won’t cause the fall of the Republic or anything like that, but she’s like two venti Expressos 30 minutes before shooting perky. I’ll stick with Zooey Deschanel.
And the interaction between the siblings wasn’t the thing that bothered me about the Folgers ad as much as the brother’s fervent assertion that he had no access to decent coffee in West Africa. Uh dude, Ethiopia, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe (where a lot of coffee COMES FROM) might disagree with you.
What flirty banter? I just watched the commercial again, and the dialogue is as follow:
(Twentysomething fellow gets out of cab; somewhat younger woman, watching at window, rushes to open the door, smiling)
*BROTHER: I must have wrong house.
SISTER: Sister!
(both laugh & hug)
SISTER: Oh, I missed you so much.
(they enter kitchen)
SISTER: I waited up for you all night, you know.
BROTHER: It’s a long way from West Africa, you know.
(shot of Folger’s container)
BROHTER: Oh…**real coffee.
(shot of older couple, presumably parents, in bed)
(shot of pouring coffee)
MOTHER: He’s here!
(shot of siblings)
BROTHER (handing gift with bow to SISTER: I brought you something.
SISTER (smiling): Really? (takes bow from gift, places on BROTHER’S chest)
BROTHER (laughing): What are you doing?
SISTER: You’re my present this year.
(cue smaltzy music)

You think that’s flirting? That’s just two loving siblings who haven’t seen each other in a long time.
