The lifestyle they created in this ad was a basic lifestyle nothing extra fancy or anything. Family values are implied in this ad because it has the family in it. In this ad they implied that she would get in trouble without them showing it. Her parents came downstairs and had a tone with her because it was so late and she wasn't supposed to be out. They used Pathos in this ad because the wanted you to feel bad for the girl. Sour patch kids wanted you to feel bad for her because she came home past her curfew and was about to get in trouble. They also used logos because they used facts in the ad. They said that the Sour Patch Kids are sour then they are sweet. The name goes along with it perfectly because they are sour and they are in the shape of kids. In this ad they were proving that the candy is sour then sweet. What I can conclude by looking at this ad is that they used good techniques to try to sell their candy. They used detail and things that people like to try to get them to buy it. The ad is not realistic because candy can not talk or give you clothes to put on or get you out of situations you don't want to be in. Therefore the ad is not realistic because candy cannot do that

    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…

    A pathos appeal is clearly being used in this commercial. It starts with a family being concerned about the broken truck and ends with the father doing whatever it takes to repair it. There are emotional pulls when they show the father finding a picture of his father and him as a little boy standing in front…

    Not only is Pathos used in this commercial, but also Ethos is used generously. Ethos is another rhetorical appeal that is used to appeal to the audience by creating credibility. Pretty much everything that is said in this video is a rhetorical appeal. The “Mom song” says, “Old Spice sprayed a man of my son,…

    The ad opens with two Happy Meal-shaped animated characters playing around with a tube of yogurt. It then cut to a girl walking towards the box, saying "I'm so excited to find out what's in here!" The meal itself, like chicken mcNuggets, fries, and yogurt were not situated inside the happy meal container, the food items were sitting beside the happy meal container. The ad then showed scenes of other children gleefully pulling "Teenie Beanie Baby Boo" toys out of the Happy Meal box and showing them off to the camera…

    “Need a moment? Grab a Twix!” We all know this famous line from every Twix candy bar commercial. The question “Need a moment?” as a general question can refer to a variety of things, ever realize though, that in every Twix commercial that the ‘needed moment’ is a moment for the men to find a cover story to save their ass? And how after ‘taking a moment’ to eat a Twix they come up with a believable excuse that every woman accepts without question. If you’ve never thought about that before you now are. One question that came to my mind when I found this similarity in commercials, which just might also be going through your minds as well, was why. Why would a company choose to advertise their product this way? The answer is simple; because it works. The commercials are using simple rhetoric to convince its audience to buy their product.…

    The couple in the advertisement is the source of credibility for Extra. Even though they are actors, it doesn’t appear that they are faking their love based on the genuine smiles they share back and forth throughout the ad. No talking between the couple happens, just actions. In the commercial the actions speak enough to prove their affection. This sincerity makes the audience believe that the couples’ love is real and it could happen to anyone. The couple is naïve and vulnerable to love which makes it that much more personal. In the end of the commercial, all the wrappers that the boy had drawn are framed and hung on the wall. The last gum wrapper portrays a proposal. In this scene, the music in the background sings, “Take my hand,…

    The Teddy Bear commercial by Duracell was effective which causes many to become manipulated in the process. When Duracell and other companies manipulates real life event like military deployment it can cause the company to become unethical. The audience wishes this theme wouldn’t repeatedly use, because it’s not original. As audience we hope companies come up with new and original ideas never seen before, because we can see companies’ innovativeness.…

    The participants were to compare the taste of two liquids, one being 7-Up. The ad was a parody on taste tests and the participants drank liquid soap, chum, sour milk and bile. The marketers were clearly going for a laugh to stimulate memory of the product. There were no facts in the commercial.…

    The logos in this advertisement goes almost unnoticed. At the end of the advertisement the words, “#1 rated” are quickly said and flash on the screen. The logos is most appealing to the targeted audience, parents. The advertisement could have been more effective if the logos given was expanded on and better explained. The customers want to know why Tide PODS are the number one rated brand. This advertisement could have appealed to parents buying detergent a lot better if it had included statistics, such as Tide PODS uses 3 in 1 technology to remove stains, brighten clothes, and clean the laundry (Tide PODS Laundry Detergent Original Scent). Another piece of essential logos that almost goes unnoticed is “keep out of reach of children”. This is probably the most important piece of logos in this whole advertisement because children’s lives are at risk because of the unnoticeable logos. The Tide PODS look similar to candy so when children see them, they assume its candy and eat it. Consuming Tide PODS has resulted in children going to the hospital to get their stomach pumped. Statistics from USA today stated that “During 2012-2013 an average of one child a day was sent to the hospital because of Tide PODS” (Painter). This health concern has caused Tide PODS to lose sales over time. These problems should be addressed in the commercial, but…

    My reaction to the first video was that companies that have high fructose corn syrup are being mislabeled of carrying products that are really bad for their kids. So the overall idea of the commercial is to stop the rumor that people assume high fructose corn syrup is really bad for kid’s health. It makes it relatable to parents by displaying ignorance over factual and scientific evidence in a condescending way. The second video displays the same feeling of being misinformed or uneducated on high fructose corn syrup, but puts it in a very condescending and humiliating way, which makes it comical. Both HFCS and sucrose contain carbohydrates. But sucrose contains more glucose and HFCS is considered a monosaccharide. HFCS contains six oxygen atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and six carbon atoms. I would label HFSC a complex carbohydrate and sucrose a simple…

    Autism Ad Analysis

    The primary appeal being used in the ad is the logos appeal. It's used by showing the statistics of how many children are diagnosed with autism and comparing it to how many children become top fashion designers. The organization uses this appeal to show the audience that most likely are parents or parents of children with autism, that the number of children being diagnosed with this condition are growing. They are trying to shock the audience by showing the actual numbers and facts. For example, when I first read this ad I was suprised that 1 in 110 children have autism. It made me realize that it could have happened to my own son. Using the logos appeal is an important aspect when trying to get your audiences' attention or trying to convince them of something. People like to see the hard cold…

    Introduction: The Information Processing Model of Advertising In 1999 a launch TV commercial for a snack food product aimed at teenagers was pretested. The commercial consisted of a pop song with meaningless gibberish lyrics, accompanying a series of surreally linked and sometimes bizarre scenes. It’s best imagined as a pop video, with no actual information about the product, although in each scene someone happens to be eating it. The research was conducted amongst teenagers using familiar ‘impact and communication’ type questions such as ‘Did this commercial give you enough information about the product?’ and ‘Do you think someone would find this commercial…
