I can’t help but watch every [Gazelle.com](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-fvFD2zN98) 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. Reminds me of the original [“I’m going to college in my pajamas”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14Kv-KYpD10) girl who was just all kinds of hot. And lastly thanks to the “commercials I hate” thread I now know the hotness that is the girl in the creepy [brother and sister](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZnqBL6iYjA) folgers commercial. So guys and gals what hotness is there in commercials for you? ---

I don’t have any good examples to add, yet, but I’m sure I’ll think of someone. In the meantime, there’s [Who Is That Hot Ad Girl](http://whoisthathotadgirl.tumblr.com/), and invaluable reference for this sort of thing. ---

I don’t see what’s so inexplicable about it, she’s freakin’ hot! I’ll be in my bunk… Folger’s girl is 18, right? ---

> [@Skald\_the\_Rhymer](#): > > ETA: What’s so creepy about the Folger’s ad? 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.

The brother and sister are totally doing it.

Pardon me, but that’s a fairly … silly interpretation. To me that’s standard big-brother/little sister stuff. I don’t see any chemistry there at all. ---

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](http://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. ---

> [@Justin\_Bailey](#): > > To me, that’s not. My little sister has never made flirty banter with me and I’d be absolutely terrified if she did. 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. ---
