KISS’ PAUL STANLEY’S LOST FOLGERS COMMERICAL SURFACES ONLINE
Graham Hartmann of Loudwire reports:
KISS put out an album called Psycho Circus, but could it be that title may have also inspired a shelved Folgers coffee commercial starring singer-guitarist Paul Stanley? In this newly unearthed commercial, the Stanley sings a unique take on the company’s well known jingle while trapeze artists defy death from above.
The Folgers ad never actually made it to air, but thanks to the internet, the clip will live for eternity. In an October 2000 interview, Stanley actually spoke about filming the commercial. “Life is strange!” Stanley said. “I got a call asking if I was interested in singing a Folgers commercial. And like many other things, I thought ‘Why not?’ I wasn’t at all concerned with who thinks it is OK or not OK, cool, not cool, rock ‘n’ roll or not. I had a blast doing it and like I said, isn’t that what this is all about?” [via KISSanity]
Once the Folgers commercial started making the rounds online over the weekend, longtime Monk writer/executive producer and music video director Tom Scharpling actually claimed to have written and directed the ad. Since there’s literally no reason why anyone would take credit for this commercial, we’re inclined to take Scharpling at his word. Watch the ad below.

That was disturbing. Easy to see why that commercial was shelved.
Wow..lol! Does KISS have their own brand of coffee? !
This is directed at Elliot Goldberg,
your comment was a little anti semetic dont you think, if your really jewish it was an idiotic thing to say , and if your hiding behind a fake jewish name, { i think you are } it was disgusting , either way this nonsense should not be on this site –
dear bobbyd,
thanks for the compliments. by the way, my name is … Elliot Goldberg. I’m not “really jewish”, I am jewish. I’m sure that you have lots of self esteem and your real name is bobbyd. thanks for taking time out from picking kiss coffee beans with those other real people, tommy “thumbs” and eric “ringer”. i’ll be sure to consult with you before my future posts. have a wonderful holiday fetus.
this commercial was hilarious and horrendous at the same time , tough to do but he pulled it off-
People….I was talking to some people back stage before and they were telling me there’s a lot of you people that drink decaf folgers…..but when you’re down in the dumps and you need something to bring you up….you need the regular folgers!
fact: frank wolf and the real paul Stanley have never been seen together.
