You see, but you do not observe.

I hate the idiot who is just so trendy and wears thick glasses and it's like, he just doesn't care if he sells you the thing or not, you know? I'm just pointing at it and I know it's a deal and people spent thousands of dollars and time to bring you this ad, but it's like, take it or leave it, I'm just gonna do a face here, I'm so cool

No, but it is a good way in insinuate that the contents are warm, smell good, and the drinker has formed a connection to the beverage. Pretty much every ad where someone has to either eat or drink a product, they will do things that people normally never do when eating or drinking.

"We're eating pizza! Lets reach over each other's shoulders and lift the pizza slices 2-3 feet in the air to show how stringy the cheese is and how eager we are to eat it."

"I'm drinking a cola from a glass bottle with only makes up 0.1% of sales (compared to cans or plastic), and the amount of condensation on the bottle and head tilt to drink it is absurd."

"Eating a burger? Elbows should be extended out as far as possible to make it look like effort is required to eat the burger, subconsciously telling the viewer this is a big burger".

Showing a potential consumer that they will be "comfortably different" or "safely original". Last thing you want to do is make people think that they are going to get something and end up being visibly different or alone. Even if your intended audience are the most counter-culture hipsters, you still want to make sure they know (subconsciously that they will not be alone).

Pretty much every ad where they propose you do something "drastically different" has a scene at the end where everyone who "forged their own path" ends up together and patting each other on the back all smiles.
