    In the magazine Game Informer an advertisement for Old Spice caught my eye. The reason for this was because it was large scale, in your face, and took up two pages. The way that this ad established and reinforced the brand name was very clever. The ad used very neutral, warm welcoming colors such as dark orange, and blue with bold white text. This seems to be a typical old spice ad in my eyes. I say this because the way old spice portrays its self is humorous but at the same time, without a doubt seriously manly. This is an obvious point, because in the add the man is covered in the old spice foaming body wash while riding a giant crow away from the sunset while being struck by lighting. This makes a very bold point that it is the manly of manliest body washes. This is apparent because not any average man could tackle riding a giant crow as well as a substantial lightning strike all while covered in a foamy blanket of body wash.…

    The speaker is an attractive male who does not wear a shirt for the entire commercial, conveniently displaying his athletic physique. The commercial is subconsciously projecting the emotion of sexual appeal, and persuading women to buy Old Spice deodorant because then their man will be just as attractive. The commercial also has several random comments such as tickets turning into diamonds, and the speaker suddenly appearing on a horse to appeal to the emotion of humor in the commercial. By inserting humor, the commercial is more memorable and people associate this good emotion with Old Spice…

    From the social/historical critics point-of view, they portray old spice as an upper class product. The man in the commercial is on a boat with a shirt tied around his shoulders, and has tickets, diamonds, and a white horse. The caption under the video even states “we 're not saying this body wash will make your man smell like a romantic millionaire jet fighter pilot, but we are insinuating it” ("Old Spice | The Man Your Man Could Smell Like." 1). They also used an African American man in the commercial which was produced in 2010. This is now an option due to the new culture that arose in America after the Civil Rights Movement was a…

    One of the rhetorical appeals used quite frequently is Pathos. Pathos is the way the author or in this case Old Spice tries to play with our emotions. The most obvious emotion in this commercial is humor. For example, the way the crazy-stalker mom is following her son around everywhere by riding in a laundry basket attached to her son’s car, highly unlikely but very entertaining and quite funny. People love anything that makes them laugh and Old Spice definitely played that up when those depressed mothers were wailing about their sons leaving them behind and growing up by going out with girls and leaving their chores behind. Another thing that is used as pathos is how relatable it can be for those overbearing mothers and their sons. Some men must see this commercial and think back to when they were teenagers who just wanted to get away and grow up, and even those boys that are currently going through this with their own mothers. Even I am sucked in to all the hype that is Old Spice, and I could just imagine what my seven year old brother with have to go through with my mom. Yikes!…

    On Youtube, when looking at videos you have to watch ads before you can enjoy the video you want to watch. I saw the commercial for Old Spice deodorant when browsing Youtube’s videos and thought it was a very effective advertisement, it is very fast paced and always changing so it makes the viewer concentrate and pay more attention to the commercial. The advertisement is based around the spokesperson, who is a man telling the audience that all women would prefer him over their man. He says the next best thing to having him as your man is having your man smell like him. The commercial spends thirty three seconds trying to convince the viewer that if you buy its companies body wash or deodorant and use it to smell like the man on the screen you will be able to do the ridiculous things he is capable of doing. The advertisements purpose is either to make a man want to buy the scented product so he can please his ladies nasal senses and amaze her, or to make a woman want her man to start wearing the product for her pleasure.…

    The commercial grabs the reader’s attention and maintains it on the Old Spice man. It starts out with a former NFL player and an actor Isaiah Mustafa in an ordinary bathroom wearing nothing but a towel. He represents the “perfect male” for both women and as well as men. He is considered manly with the muscular physique, broad shoulders, bearded face and a stern voice. His strong posture and his deep male voice displays the masculine form, the women desire. Without losing eye contact with the audience, Mustafa shifts from a bathroom scene to a yacht, to a beach and lastly to a horseback-riding which portrays that “anything is possible…” with an Old Spice. Throughout his transformations he accomplishes impractical feats like obtaining tickets…

The advert transmits gender stereotypes in a sarcastic and comedic fashion, and humor is used to mock some of the ridiculous masculine ideals in the ad itself, all of which help to capture the audience’s attention.” Getting back to what I mentioned in the start of this piece is that commercials make you feel. Humor is one of those methods used in creating feeling. And Old Spice has gone to quite an extent to make its audience “feel” for their…

    People will tend to pay more attention to a humorous commercial, than a commercial that is a factual or serious one, opening themselves up to be influenced. People correspond well to humorous things; they feel at ease and pay attention when they perceive that there is humor in the advertisement (Dubois). Advertisements help by placing people in a more comfortable mood in which it then enables a more encouraging image and a more welcoming product to the consumer that is involved with positivity (Dubois). Companies use humor because it is more likely to enhance recall, evaluation, and purchase intention when the humorous message coincides with ad objectives (Dubois). Humorous advertising is more likely to secure audience attention, increase memorability, overcome sales resistance, and enhance message persuasiveness. Humor, when executed properly, helps them stand out. If you can make someone laugh, there is an emotional connection with them. And anything you say beyond that is going to be more meaningful (Alden et…
