    The producers of this commercial knew its target audience and went after it. It had a strong attention getter. Right from the beginning this commercial had my attention and maintained it throughout the entirety of the advertisement. It had strong appeals to pathos, ethos, and logos. This commercial worked for me, but for others I can see how this commercial came up short in getting their attention. For example, my views towards the music choice, the girl, and scenery corresponded well with what I wanted to see, but if you asked my mother about the commercial I’m sure there would be a completely different reaction to the commercial. In fact when I was watching the commercial in class in preparation for writing this analysis the girl who sits behind me watched the commercial over my shoulder and said that she thought the commercial was “ stupid”. It wasn’t until this moment that I realized the importance of pathos, ethos, and logos and how different each person’s appeals truly…

    This years Superbowl commercial I picked was the Mountain dew puppy monkey baby because it was catchy and kind of weird and that's why I remember it. In the beginning of the commercial it starts off with three guys who are sitting on a couch and want to go out. Until one of the guys say " I think I just want to chill tonight" and that is when a weird looking monkey comes out and keeps saying " Puppy monkey baby."…

    Subway vs Jimmy Johns

    When a group of people agree on getting a sandwich, it’s rare to get them all to agree on similar sandwiches. With 24 sandwiches, 8 breakfast sandwiches, and 6 different breads to choose from, Subways has much more variety than Jimmy Johns. Subway also gives consumers the option to easily customize their sandwiches; kids tend to like Subway more then Jimmy Johns for this exact reason. Kids are pickier than adults and may not like all the veggies and dressings on their sandwich. Subway can easily accommodate and therefore wins over the larger groups of people and the picky little kids.…

    To begin Jozui states that, “Advertisers frequently use the testimony of a celebrity to support a claim”. I most definitively agree, for example as an avid TV watcher I have seen a good amount of commercials and whenever there is a big company (Pepsi) trying to promote a new product, there is almost always a celebrity in the ad. I usually do not care for the celebrity, but for their definitely will be a huge fan watching who will care. In addition, they greatest combination of a commercial has to be the “athlete promoting athlete gear”. “A football star touts a deodorant soap, a tennis pro gets stamina from Brand X cereal”, as people watch these they see their “heroes” and believe that if they do what athletes do they can become like them.…

    When we refer to the ethos of the commercial, which means the arguments referred to the characters, this commercial has a lot of them. The first example is the supermodels that show this product. This is a good rhetoric strategy because supermodels have a perfect body that no matter how cheap or ugly this product is it will look good on them. This is really important because it gives security to the consumer that they are buying a “good” product. Another ethos is the use of expensive cars and explosions. This makes the product look better because we can assume that they spent a lot of money in this commercial and at the same time it entertains the viewer.…

    McDonald’s uses the persuasion technique of pathos in its ad. Using a family and a starry night, the ad conveys a feeling of comfort and happiness with the viewer. In addition, the uses of the exclamation point and happiness of the facial expression of the people there also create an aura of excitement. All in all, the entire ad is bright, which makes an atmosphere of overall happiness. McDonald’s uses these many techniques to not only attract American families, but also the majority of middle-class Americans who can afford to eat at…

    Fallacy In Mean Girls

    I do agree that this is a false cause, using a professional swimmer to show that their subs are the best is a very good example. Also using by using his mother this makes emotional fallacy. This is a great example as after this it leaves people thinking that to be a good parent or if I want my child to succeed then I must feed them Subway. This is far from the truth. Furthermore, with the popularity fallacy they say that all it has people believe that all athletes are doing it so why shouldn’t I eat Subway? In the movie Mean Girls they do use the poisoning the well fallacy, but this is not an advertisement. With the Pedigree dog food commercial it does use appeal to pity by using the dogs that look so sad. However, they do help these dogs,…

    All commercials appeal to a person using at least one of three ways: logos, pathos and ethos. When I think of an ad that displays pathos, I think of the disheartening commercial for the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). It is an advertisement that is on TV often whose purpose is getting its audience to support its cause through donations. Because the video shows such resilient emotional appeal, it more effectively targets women who tend to be more susceptible to sentimental propaganda than men. The video is saying that many animals have been helped, but more has to be done. There are still animals out there in need of being rescued from their abusive homes. More donations are needed. The…

    As individuals of society we are continuously and subconsciously affected by media’s tactics to persuade us into falling victim into their marketing schemes. Witty yet brilliant individuals cough up slogans that will inevitably affect many consumers to come. The advertisement that initially captured my attention was the Gatorade Sports Drink Commercial. To start off, the advertisement contained text and visuals that demonstrated that Gatorade is a necessity to succeed in athletics. Moreover, the commercial demonstrated with the assistance of Nba Stars Dwayne Wade and Kevin Durant, you need the nutrients that Gatorade provides in order to compete in sports and to become the ultimate athlete and champion. I believe this ad creates limitations and viewers are led to believe that they must consume Gatorade due to the…

    If you look at commercials now a days it is filled with hot celebrity actresses and sports icons. People buy their product if it appeals to them and that appeal is created based on the advertisement in which they saw. For instance, if you see a commercial about make up, one had Taylor Swift and the other had some random person promoting their product, which commercial would attract more people? Of course Taylor Swift because she is pretty and women think,”ohh she is really pretty and maybe if I buy the make up I might just look like her.” Sport icons also play a great part in advertisement for footwear, an example would be Michael Jordan with is AirJorans. Back in the days, guys went crazy for them because they believed if I get theses shoes then I can jump and dunk like Michael Jordan. Thus if it wasn't for celebrities promoting products then the advertisement business would not be such a great money maker for advertisement companies.…

    This logical fallacy is one I know everyone has heard at least once, Subway Commercials, stating that if you eat subway you will be like Michael Phelps, or Jared. We all know that we eat at subway because we want to be like one of the above mentioned “famous” people. They want us to believe that eating at subway we will look and act like Michael Phelps or “Jared”, Though the latter isn’t someone I would like to take after. Anyway, Subway sandwiches is our topic so we shall move right along.

    According to Robert Scholes, author of On Reading a Video Text, commercials aired on television hold a dynamic power over human beings on a subconscious level. He believes that through the use of specific tools, commercials can hold the minds of an audience captive, and can control their abilities to think rationally. Visual fascination, one of the tools Scholes believes captures the minds of viewers, can take a simple video, and through the use of editing and special effects, turn it into a powerful scene which one simply cannot take his or her eyes from. Narrativity is yet another way Scholes feels commercials can take control of the thoughts of a person sitting in front of the television. Through the use of specific words, sounds, accompanying statements and or music, a television commercial can hold a viewer's mind within its grasp, just long enough to confuse someone into buying a product for the wrong reason. The most significant power over the population held by television commercials is that of cultural reinforcement, as Scholes calls it. By offering a human relation throughout itself, a commercial can link with the masses as though it's speaking to the individual viewer on an equal level. A commercial In his essay, Scholes analyzes a Budweiser commercial in an effort to prove his statements about the aforementioned tools.…
