Nolan Cheese: Super Mouse

The Nolan Cheese advertisement targets audience of all ages and both genders. The ad grabs the audience’s attention with lighthearted music, melodramatic music, and upbeat, youthful music. It shows an endearing mouse enjoying a piece of cheese happily, with no care in the world because the cheese is from the Nolan brand. Unexpectedly, a tragic event takes place that was unforeseeable by the mouse. Some of us would laugh, others would feel sad but no matter the emotion, the fact of the matter is that the ad is able to get a reaction out of its audience. Our attention is held captive by our not knowing what the fate of the mouse is. At this point in time, the audience is unsure of what direction the advertisement is going. The first thing that really grabs the audience’s attention is the mouse. People have mice for pets, and the entertainment industry has made millions from movies such as Stuart Little where a mouse lives as a functional member of a human family, and Ratatouille, where a mouse plays a big part in a French chef’s culinary skills. The epitome of the mouse character is undoubtedly Mickey Mouse. A major icon as a part of Walt Disney’s franchise, people from all across the world are able to recognize Mickey Mouse. Children grow up singing and dancing with Mickey, they learn their ABCs with Mickey , and they dream of one day visiting Disney World to meet Mickey Mouse. Whenever there is a mouse, it would be difficult for the general population to not think of Mickey Mouse, the father of all mice. The advertisement uses the endearing mouse to target the animal lover in us. We love our pets, we treat our pets like family and upon seeing the mouse in the commercial, we automatically care for and are invested in the mouse’s fate - or at least enough to watch

    Often varying in message and purpose, commercials and advertisements have proven to be successful forms and methods of mass communication. The goals of advertisements is to appeal to their target audience in an effort to encourage or persuade that demographic to purchase their products and become their customer. Some companies may even have more than one commercial in an effort to reach and persuade those that are outside of their usual demographic to begin purchasing their products. Not only taking into account the obvious message, it is important to also analyze and look into the subcomponents, such as imagery and dialogue, that makes conveying their message successful.…

    For the last several years, fast food resteruant Carl’s Jr. has been implementing an advertising campaign that any regular TV watcher would find themselves being familiar with. The commercial is simple: an attractive young woman, preferably a model, wears something seductive and eats a Carl Jr.’s product while moaning. In Dan Neil’s article “Company Town: Seduced by a Juicy Burger” published in the LA Times in 2009, he jokingly criticizes not only Carl’s Jr., but other fast food giants that have employed a similar advertising strategy. Neil finds himself conflicted by the commercial featuring model and cooking show host Padma Lakshmi. These over zealous commercials have become nothing but the norm, nevertheless, Neil wonders if it has gone…

    Richard Louv's 2008 essay, "Last Child in the Woods," argues natural advertisement against artificial advertisement. He expressively describes his views on artificial advertisement by relating to advertisement in his childhood. He lists how artificial advertisement takes away the allure of natural advertisement. Louv states these points through his tone changes of being satirical, to forthright, to nostalgic.…

    Throughout the entire commercial Ford shows all these different scenarios where children, parents, and even cats are in situations they cannot get out of. By choosing those certain people and animals, it appealed to America’s emotions. As well as to those single parents locked out of their house or the little boy who wrecked his tricycle calling for his moms help. They use children and pets to their advantage, due to the fact that people will always find pets and children adorable and cute. Especially with humor added to it, as well as sympathy because it may seem painful and stressful.…

    The most propagandistic part of the commercial I think would be the song, Angel by Sarah McLachlan. ASPCA used this song because it seems like it is directed towards you. Additionally the song plays with your emotions causing you to feel sad for these abused animals. Making you want to donate or rescue an animal. In the song she sings “In the arms of the angel, fly away from here.” The lyrics make you think you could be an angel to save the animal from any harmful situations it was once fighting. It also making you think you could comfort a hurt or an abused animal yourself and make that animal happy and healthy again.…

    These elements fall under the rhetorical logos appeal: a method used to persuade an intended audience by using reason. The factual statement, “Thousands were rescued last year, but for thousands of others, help came too late,” shows that the ASPCA is effective in rescuing animals, but donations are needed to help them continue to rescue more and more (ASPCA). Other statements from the commercial such as, “For just $18 a month, only 60 cents a day, you’ll help rescue animals from their abusers and provide medical care, food, shelter, and love,” are used to provide the audience with reasons as to why their donations are beneficial. The application of logos in this commercial helped give the audience a logical reason to donate; which is exactly what they…

    Chipotle Satire

    • 620 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In the early 2010’s fast food, with health twists was popular. The population was becoming more worried and conscience about what they fed themselves and their families, and this, combined with the always-busy, modern-day society in need of quick meals, gives an opening for fast-food restaurants like Taco Time, Chipotle, and Taco Del Mar to spot light their greasy-burger-free, and sometimes organic, menus. In 2010 Chipotle released a commercial called “Scarecrow” showing an animated scarecrow witnessing the cruelness and fraud and of big food corporations, and then starting his own organic restaurant, which the audience assumes is Chipotle; all to the tune of “Pure Imagination” covered by Fiona Apple. Funny or Die, a well known comedy web site, made a satire of Chipotle’s “Scarecrow”, called “Honest Scarecrow”, which changed the lyrics and added other words, images, and sounds in order to mock Chipotle’s, and other restaurants’, emotional and exaggerated way of advertising. “Honest Scarecrow” by Funny or Die, released in 2013, convinces fast-food consumers, to not let ads determine where we eat, because ads can be misleading and can play on emotions.…

    The tone that is portrayed in the commercial is humorous yet bleak. Using the child to replay the dad’s horrible day of work and with the imagery of a child with the leading hairlines, driving through traffic and working is quite comical. The horrible day the father had depicted the depressing side of a typical fathers’ daily life giving an upsetting tone to the…

    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…

    Don't Touch My Mama

    For the 2010 Super Bowl, Doritos put out a commercial that was titled “House Rules”. In this commercial a young man comes to take a beautiful young, single mother out for their first date. While the mother is out of the room putting up the flowers the man brought, the man sits down to socialize with the son. As the man sits down he picks up one of the son’s Doritos, and just as he is about to put the chip in his mouth the son slaps him. After slapping the man the son says, “Don’t touch my mama, and don’t touch my Doritos.” This 2010 Super Bowl Doritos commercial is an example of visual rhetoric, because it appeals to the audience using pathos, ethos, and what the camera focuses to not just persuade the viewers to buy Doritos, but also to keep Doritos on the viewer’s mind.…

    The poem Feliks Skrzynecki addresses several profound values and assumptions associated with immigration and belonging. One particularly striking value is the growing disparity between father and son – Feliks Skrzynecki and the poet, Peter Skrzynecki – and the concerns regarding their relationship. Throughout the poem, Peter, speaking from personal experiences, speaks for both his own and his father’s sense of self and belonging, specifically contrasting their different perspectives. Feliks loves his Polish culture, and will probably never change passions towards his environment - Australia: “kept pace only with the Joneses/ of his own mind’s making.” We later develop an understanding of his “mind’s making” in the next line: “Loved his garden like an only child.” This garden is a reflection of his past culture; the simile further highlight’s Feliks’ sense of belonging for this culture. Also, the particular diction “only child” stresses Feliks’ connection with his garden as opposed to his connection with Peter, who was Feliks’ one (adopted) son. Peter, instead of sharing his father’s view of polish customs, he feels excluded and could never relate to his father’s polish culture and friends: “His Polish friends/ always shook hands too violently... That formal address/ I never got used to.” Part of this could have come from the fact that he had grown up in Australia, away from the “farms where paddocks flowered / with corn and wheat...” (Poland) – The place where his father had grown up. Perhaps the phrase “Happy as I have never been” is the final turning point between Peter and Feliks. This phrase ultimately emphasises the distinction between Peter and Feliks, in which, ironically, one had led a harsh life full of work in the old traditional culture, whilst the other was far more fortunate in the new Australian society.…

    He collectively highlights ways in which different appeals cause different individuals to have a yearning for the product being sold. Fundamentally, this correlates to my research paper because it illustrates how children can be swayed by commercials involving food. Unfortunately, this is causing a huge epidemic of obesity. Yet, if we can pinpoint that commercialism is a factor it could be easily fixed.…

    Animals which are used in advertisements usually don’t have any or much relevance to the products being advertised. An example of this is the adverts for Dulux Paint, which uses an Old English Sheep dog in their adverts. They have used this breed of dog in their adverts since 1961 because this breed of dog has been used for so many years people associate it with the Dulux Company. The adverts catch people’s attention and as the dog has no relevance to paint products and therefore people will discuss the adverts. Another example of animals having no relevance to the product in which they are being advertised is the Andrex adverts, they use Labrador puppies in their adverts for toilet paper. When the adverts first came out, Golden Labrador puppies became extremely in demand. However some of the people who were buying the puppies had done little to no research about the dog. The appeal of owning a Labrador was having a small, cute dog. However many owners didn’t realise the size that they would grow to, many owners then re-homed them as they grew larger.…

    The public is filled with Disney products and endorsements. Disneyland is known as the happiest place on Earth and all in thanks to the creator, Walt Disney. Children now look up to Disney as a source of hope, faith and inspiration for the future. Disney left behind tracks to what a child needs to grow and to become happy with the idea that magic exists. His first creation was brought to life by placing upon the name “Mickey.” It is interesting to note that Mickey Mouse started out as an impish, mischievous character that played a cow's teeth like a xylophone in his first movie. He also performed other nasty little tasks as well. This image was soon changed, though, in order that he would appeal to a much wider audience. The most noticeable physical differences between the first Mickey Mouse and his modern day appearance include the addition of white gloves on his hands. There appeared many other changes as he evolved over the years, though. Today, Mickey Mouse is normally dressed in red shorts with two buttons on the front, large yellow shoes, and his trademark white gloves. He sports a bulbous black nose, and he has large eyes. The only similarities he has to a real mouse include his large mouse ears, and his long, skinny tail. Other than those features, Mickey Mouse has his own distinctive look. The small mouse that Walt Disney brought to life went on to star in over one hundred movies. He features as the star in Disney's many theme parks, and his image is recognized around the world. Mickey also has appeared in other media such as video games as well as merchandising, and becomes a real life character at the Disney parks. Walt Disney looked upon the future to bring a smile to children all over the world. Drawing and animating became a gateway to happiness and magic. As a child, Mickey gives out hope in an…
