Snickers Commercial
Most companies use television advertisements that are funny and quirky to capture the audience's attention. Snickers’ advertisements are one of the best companies at doing this. These Snickers commercials usually have a overly emotional character who does not match with the current situation occurring around them. A friend of the character then says "Eat a snickers!" in order to sooth the character and as the character takes a bite of the snickers. The friend ask the classic line we all know "Better?" Then the scene cuts back to the previously emotional character who is now back to his/her normal self. The now normal character replies with "Better". The commercial then becomes cartoonish/animated where the words "You're not you when you're …show more content…
Everyone has times where they go crazy, even occasionally becoming something you are not typically. Snickers comes in though and basically says don’t because when you are not yourself, a Snickers bar will satisfy your cravings.This, like most commercials, is pushing the envelope to make a bold statement that one Snickers bar can do such amazing things. Just as with other commercials, such as AXE where they say if you spray it on yourself girls will flock to you, Snickers uses just another type of exaggerative brand marketing. The main message of this commercial is that Snickers will give you energy and make you act more like yourself, because “You’re Not You When You’re Hungry.” The main focus of Snickers commercials is its appeal to humor. It's humorous because there is a shock factor on the transformation between the hungry and the satisfied character. Like many comedic commercials, Snickers placed its product into this thirty-second clip making it seem as if the product has a power that can only be obtained by buying and eating the specific candy. This is a very effective advertising strategy because it gets the brand name out there. Snickers used …show more content…
A commercial can seem simple and comedic, but at the same times it is those types of commercials viewers remember, such as this one I still remember from 2010. When people think back to all of the commercials they have seen, most people remember the funny ones, the ones that stand out when people are talking about funny commercials. Now after this thirty second clip, when someone sees a Snickers at a supermarket or convenience store, they may think of how funny that commercial was. All of the other aspects of the commercial sneak up on the viewer. People do not realize that the commercial affected the way their minds think, by now associating laughter with Snickers, but just thought of it as another funny commercial they saw on TV. The comedic aspect of this commercial is what catches the viewer’s attention, it has them talking about it to their coworkers or friends, and the advertisement extends farther than just a chuckle in the living room. This is what the advertisement company wants. They succeeded in advertising their product, people who have not seen the commercial may just take a look at it because of how funny they heard it was. Overall, Snickers did a magnificent job in creating an advertisement that reaches many different viewers, captivates an audience, and leaves the viewer remembering the commercial far after they have finished seeing

    In all of the ads we hear the narrator interacting with the athletes talking about them pushing their limits. He also asks them a serious of questions, so we can know a little more about what they do. The athletes respond and also interact with the narrator as they are doing their activities. The reason I believe this make audience be interested is because, we get to know a little more about them, we get to become inspired about how they take their obstacles and adversities, and what's running through their mind while doing this. We become inspired. The fact they use humorous dialogues is more appealing because this commercial is easier to remember. Usually funny things are more interesting and acceptable and by consequence the brand will be easier to be…

    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…

    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.

    Viewer Discretion

    One of the main reasons that some advertisements are considered controversial would be because television viewers want to watch interesting entertainment. Advertisers realize that the catchy ads are more likely to be remembered longer; therefore, these ads have more luck with higher sales. Controversial advertisements can be very beneficial. The benefits of such advertisements include but are not limited to, educational advertising. The commercial is described in which a man gets up out of bed as a kind gesture to his pregnant wife; he goes to go get her ice cream from the refrigerator. There is not any, so he decides to go the store to get her some. As he pulls out of the driveway in his car, his car is hit in a head-on collision. The commercial states "Didn 't see that one coming, nobody ever does, buckle up" (CNN news, 1999, what the spots show, ¶ 1). This type of…
