    The television commercial that I have chosen to analyze is made by Dunkin’ Donuts featuring Derek Ramsey. At a glance, the commercial starts with Derek Ramsey walking into a regular Dunkin’ Donut shop. Without surprise, the server ogles him walking into the shop and towards her in slow motion, enhanced by a sexy, sultry saxophonic beat backdrop.

She is so engrossed in Derek Ramsey’s beauty that it appears that by his good looks alone he gets a massive discount.
