Just that she's suspicious of him being unfaithful, even justifying it with him getting another cup of coffee to show he's on the prowl.

That's how I take it.

It’s a play on an old Yuban coffee commercial from the ‘70s.

It's a parody of a coffee commercial that didn't stand up decades later for those who hadn't seen it.

Yuban is still a thing. Never seen it on the store shelves but then again I don't look for it.

Very observant.

That’s actually the subliminal message of the original advertisement too.

As we all know, ad agencies seek to prey on our deep psychological insecurities and offer a product which will calm our greatest fears.

For example, a housewife’s greatest fear is not a “stain in clothes,” but she fears the unspoken social shame of being seen as a bad mother/wife if her family is seen in public wearing stained, grungy clothes.  Hence, the Tide advertisements (for example) try to capitalize on this without saying it out loud.

In the case of this Airplane coffee gag, the original Yuban coffee commercial was hinting that the husband is “unsatisfied” by what his wife normally has to offer at home, hence the reason he’s seeking his “cup of coffee” from another woman.  Pretty blatant.  The ad sought to capitalize on unspoken fears and anxieties of housewives of that era.  “Buy this brand of coffee to keep your man satisfied.”  Who knows if it sold more coffee or not.

Airplane lampooning this is one of the reasons it’s such a funny movie — it’s not only slapstick— there’s some actual brains behind a lot of the gags.

Not only what you’ve noted, but older wife physically steps between hubby and younger woman offering “coffee.” Husband steps around older wife to accept younger woman’s “coffee.”

Message is “satisfy your man or your competitors will…”

There’s more too, but I’m typing in a tree stand.

Even as a kid I thought the message in the commercial was clear. OP was correct to pick it up even though he didn’t see the original commercial.

Very memorable and psychologically powerful commercial.

Yuban was a version of Maxwell House with a lighter roast mostly marketed on the west coast, also a General Foods brand and the commercials were done by the same ad agency.
