Kermit & Coffee

Early Jim Henson from the late 1950′s early 1960′s featuring a primitive version of  muppet Kermit The Frog as spokesman for Wilkins Coffee. The expressions and speech synchronizations are well articulated, and insulate the impact of the slapstick violence. An early attempt to combine the theory of ”hard sell” and humour. The violent interlude is sandwiched between a successful transmission of product identity, brand  recognition, and the value of the product.
