Award Winning Ad "Buckle Up"

Analysis of The Burger King Commercial

This commercial uses cultural myth to appeal to men. It feeds off the myth that men want to be manly and that beef is a masculine food. It also feeds off the myth that men eat more than women when it shows the excessively small food and continues to call it chick food. The commercial has men repeatedly saying "I am Man" implying that this why they need meat. They also show the men rejoice after consuming the Whopper.

Summary of "Over the Limit Under Arrest ad"

This ad is focused on preventing drunk driving. This ad is essentially a fear ad which aims scare people away from drunk driving. Everyone knows that drunk driving is dangerous however people continue to disregard the danger that a drunk driver poses to both themselves and other innocent motorists. Because of this, this ad focuses on the legal consequences of drunk driving. Drunk drivers clearly don't care about themselves or those around them. Fear of legal consequences however is different than fear of injury. Many people feel as if they are invincible and feel as if no matter what they do they will not be injured. People like this though not scared of injury may still be scared of legal consequences. A person can also be arrested for DWI even if they feel fine. This will make people think more about how much they drank rather than just how they feel. I think this ad is effective because a drunk driver is a selfish person who cares only about themself and a person cares more about pottentially getting arrested than pottentially hurting annother person.

Over The Limit Under Arrest

Analysis of Garnier Fructis ad

This ad's target audience is women of all ages. It uses bold text for facts. It also uses a change of tone in the music to project a good impresion of Garnier Fructis. The ad wants you to believe that Garnier Fructis will improve your hair. They also want you to believe that you will be happier if you use their shampoo. It does this with the change of tone in music aswell as changing the color from black and white to color. As far as the actual content of the ad the girl goes from being alone to being with a bunch of male friends. This ad uses the cultural assumption that great hair will make you happier. It also uses cultures view of men; which is that men are only attracted to beautiful women.

Race ads

Race ads have been used since the 1800's. Examples of this are Uncle Bens Rice and Aunt Jemina Pancakes. These companies used race to appeal to their target audience the same way any other ad does. Race is just another thing used by companies to advertise their product. It is effective and accepeted therfore race will be used in ads for years and years to come. Race ads shouldn't be treated differently than any other asspect of advertising because by giving it special attention we are atleast as bad as the marketers who decide to use race in their ads.

Anti drug ad

Summary oh Hole in Throat Ad

This is an anti smoking advertisement. It is aimed at smokers of all ages men and women. This ad strikes fear into the viewers. It is clearly designed to do this. Examples of this are the use of graphic images and ominous music. An ad like this is ment to scare smokers into quiting. It uses a former smoker who suffered terribly because of smoking, in order to hopefully save other smokers from suffering the same fate. Ads like this one are being used more by the anti smoking organizations that fund these advertisements. This is because these ads show the terrible reality of the toll smoking can take on the human body. I sincerely hope that ads such as this scare smokers and potential smokers as they do I.

Patriotic ads

Patriotic ads are widely used in presidential campaigns. They are used to show strength and leadership in a candidate. This can be effective in acquiring votes because most voters like to see themselves as patriotic. So they are going to relate to a patriotic candidate. Patriotic ads have a huge upside with no real risk of turning people off. You dont have to worry about turning off people who are non patriotic because they probably aren't voting anyway. This is why i think patriotic ads are effective in any election.
