Also, according to Statista in 2014 Honda hit its highest number of cars sold, 4.48 million cars. This was the best year for Honda, which is why they released their 2014 “Honda Hands” commercial.

The first appeal is the need for cognizance, which means the need to satisfy curiosity or to learn. The video uses this all throughout the commercial, first the video opens up and the viewer hears the words “Let's see what curiosity can do” and sees a pair of hands. This makes it seem like the viewer is the one manipulating the hands and the voice. The hands manipulate a lot of different things from vehicles, to robots, and then to an airplane.

    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."…

    The commercial uses the element of ethos to appeal to authority. The commercial does this by using a physically attractive male who immediately demands your attention at the beginning of the commercial by commanding “look at me; now look at your man, now back at me”. This immediately builds up a sense of respect and authority from the speaker, and helps build up the credibility of the commercial.…

    Appeals Activity Analysis

    I would say that this commercial was made for a sympathetic audience. Watching it for “Chevy Guys” they will feel for their Chevy’s and probably feel that they are just like the father in the commercial. They would do anything to keep their Chevy running and in the family. This commercial absolutely uses pathos appeal to speak to its audience. When the father looks at a picture of him, his dad and the truck he thinks of all the memories made with this truck and then thinks of all the memories he will make with this truck and his own son. This is a very heartfelt moment and you would be considered soulless if this moment did not tug on your heart strings. To conclude this first part of my Appeals Activity I would say this commercial’s argument is very persuasive. The commercial really tugs at your heart and ties in the sentimental value that we all have with something in our life. This commercial will really speak to true “Chevy Guys” that can recall all of the memories they have with their own Chevy. In the end, I found this to be one of the better commercials I have seen in awhile and would not change much as I felt the message and way it was delivered really hits…

    The commercial follows a man, that slowly amassed a following of those that need help. The way I view the commercial, is the man isn’t being followed by an actual group of people but is being haunted by the thoughts of those in need. The commercial relies heavily on pathos, ethos, and logos; the use of melancholy music sets the tone of the whole commercial. Putting all this together, allows the viewer to realize what a difference one person can make if they see someone in need of help. This commercial was made to show the various issues in the world.…

    The commercial starts out with a young boy in a tuxedo staring at himself when his mother comes in the room wearing a tan shirt, complimenting how good he looks. The boy rolls his eyes and shows a look of disapproval. The mother notices that her son is feeling upset, so she tells him to not feel bad, and that many students go to prom by themselves, but from the kitchen, his little sister who is coloring at the table replies, “no they don’t.” The mother fixes her son’s black bowtie as he makes his way towards the front door. As he grabs the door handle, his father comes from the other room and calls for his son. When the boy turned around, the father tossed him his car keys to a silver 2013 Audi S6. The boy catches them with one hand, and shows a look of shock. His father then tells him to have fun tonight with a nod of approval.…

    The commercial is titled “Empowering.” This word has a very positive diction and connotation and most would agree that this commercial is named appropriately. While it may be making its product look good, it is also showing its audience that there are enumerable benefits that come with technological advancements. In addition, it could be addressing any counterarguments that people who are hesitant about the development of something that could get out of hand. However by using these examples of children and people who benefit from these achievements, no one in the right mind would deny them the opportunity to walk, talk, see, or hear that would be unforgivable and unsympathetic. Therefore it is clear to see that this commercial has been used to inspire and encourage the general public to help others and find a way to make this world a better place. From a more competitive perspective, Microsoft, the producer of the commercial, is trying to show the world the undiscovered world of technology and all the room for improvement. Its goal is to leave the ideology in their audience’s head that these dreamlike improvements are possibilities with their technology; in addition, it makes it seem that Microsoft is the “trend-setter” for the advancement of…

    First screen shows the words Jennifer Garner for Neutrogena in all gray. This commercial stars Jennifer Garner who is wearing a white blouse and in the background is an all white room. Jennifer starts off by asking “Does your moisturizer protect your face Against (in blue) the environment?” There is guitar music in the background. She mentions the things on the environment that can affect your skin like the sun, pollution (picture of a city), cold (trees covered in snow), wind (tree blowing in the wind) and indoor heat (heating vent). “Introducing Neutrogena Multi-defense Daily Moisturizer SPF 15” (shows bottle) Bottle is white with a gray lid the word are all gray except Multi-defense that’s blue. The background turns blue with the bottle and lines pointing to - “Fortified with Anti-Pollutants + Anti-Oxidants + Vitamins C&E”. “It delivers hydration and daily protection.” The background turns back to the white room with Jennifer smiling saying “For healthy looking beautiful skin.” The end scene is the white room with the Neutrogena bottle sitting next to the works “NEW Neutrogena Multi-Defense Daily Moisturizer Developed with Dermatologist.”(The works all in gray.) This used the famous person appeal because it used Jennifer Garner. I believe it is effective because it tells the audience a way to help them deal with everyday skin problems and everyone wants that. I watched this on Animal Planet.…

    When we see a commercial on our T.V. screens today, we always see in print or hear the narrator telling us that their product or the service they are promoting to us is one of the best of its kind. They use all types of appeals and techniques to reel us in, making whatever they are trying to sell to us either pretty, shiny, worth-buying, or they use bold simple states telling us things such as, “Once you get it, you won’t be able to live without it.” By using these statements and methods of gaining viewers, the ad or commercial gains what it truly aspired for; attention and the need and/or desire to buy the product. In the ad “Bounty Big Spills” the bold statement and exaggerated visuals are created to intrigue the consumer to buy a useful household item.…

    Old Spice Commercial

    • 597 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The commercial opens with a man standing in the bathroom wearing only a towel. He says hello to ladies and tells them to compare their man to him, and says they could smell like him if they use Old Spice body wash. A series of unlikely events quickly unfold and then the man says, “Anything is possible when your man smells like old spice and not a lady.” This commercial falls into the is/ought category of fallacies. This commercial places value on the product, Old Spice body wash, that it has some sort of ability to be able to these promise things. The final statement in the commercial insinuates that because your man uses old spice that anything is possible, such as him “having tickets…
