The bumper stickers that say, “Farming is everybody’s bread and butter”, is still true today. American farmers have been the backbone of our nation for years. Going into each Super Bowl broadcast, one never knows which ads will amuse, annoy, and which will inspire. It is also often hard to tell which Super Bowl commercials will be remembered long after the big game has come and gone. The Dodge Ram Trucks commercial ‘Farmer’, persuades the viewers to buy their product while sending a tribute to all farmers.
The famous commercial ‘Farmer’, is simply a powerful, moving ad and considered one of the most memorable commercials from the Super Bowl in 2013. This well-known commercial is a simple slide show, consisting of photographs accompanied by

These emotions are all examples of pathos. According to this commercial, the farmer is someone who can do all these things, yet take care of his family, while supplying the nation with food and livestock. Paul Harvey’s famous words, “God said, ‘I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, milk cows, work all day in the fields, milk cows again, eat supper, then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board.’ So, God made a farmer.” Perhaps it is a sign of how far the American food movement has come that Dodge chose this romantic vision of farm life to sell trucks. This commercial also displays ethos, convincing viewers why God made a farmer. If we close our eyes, we could almost imagine this to be God’s voice; deep, confident, and assuring. This helps set the tone for the seriousness of the commercial. Dodge Ram Trucks championed rugged individualism, love of God and country, and the fundamental decency of ordinary …show more content…
Apparently, the ad is part of a Dodge Ram partnership with the National FFA Organization (Future Farmers of America) “highlighting and underscoring the importance of farmers in America,” according to a statement from Dodge parent company Chrysler. The car company says that every time the ad is watched or shared on YouTube, Chrysler will donate to the National FFA. Dodge is using this commercial as a way to associate the “mighty farmer”, who people depend on, with their mighty truck, which is dependable for heavy farming needs. They are trying to persuade you to purchase the Dodge Ram because, according to the manufacturer, the Ram is tough, can withstand whatever challenge you put it through, and can stand the test of time, just like the farmer. At the end of the commercial, the narrator indicates that the son wants to follow in the father’s footsteps. This is important because Dodge would like their vehicles to continue to provide for future
These emotions are: the need for affiliation, to satisfy the viewers’ curiosity, and to tap into physiological needs. The obvious one being on the need and wanting for food as we see a commonly beloved food in guacamole and tortilla chips. The other we are so curious throughout the entire advertisement to what their “secret” is that is being let out. In viewing the commercial, consumers are curious about what they are speaking of. We discover at the end that the product is a delicious food derived from the avocado (guacamole).
The advertisement opens with Dean Winters in a black business suit with a butterfly band-aid on his upper right cheek, just below his eye. Winters is in the back seat of an SUV. He is holding a purple and yellow sippy cup, which has two handles on either side of it. In his lap is a gallon size bag of Cheerios, which he is consuming with his left hand. On his left is a grey sun blocker; most mothers have to protect their children from the sun while they are in the car. On Winter’s left, a clothes hanger has a pink and green cloth ball tied to a purple string. Winters has crumbs covering not only him but also his car seat. Behind his car seat is a yellow blanket. As soon as the commercial opens, Winters is screaming "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" Three seconds into screaming, he looks directly at the viewer with a sly...
It uses stereotypes to show that if someone buys a Jeep they will be very adventurous. It also shows that if someone is adventurous they should buy a Jeep. Also, in the commercial it repeats the saying 4x4 which stands for four wheel drive. Next, the commercial shows people going through snow with their Jeep without getting stuck. While the sad truth is that if those people really did go through 4 feet of snow the people would get stuck. Stereotypes are used in the Jeep 4x4 commercial to get people to buy their product.
Weight Watchers launched their first ever Super Bowl commercial during the 2015 Super Bowl (CNN Money). The commercial focused on how society perceives food, how companies present their food, and how these things parallel getting hooked on drugs. The 2015 Weight Watchers super bowl commercial uses images, language, and ideas that link drug addictions to food addictions in a frighteningly accurate way. It also addresses many of the problems people with food addictions face and presents them in a way that is easily linked to something people understand more, drug addiction.
This advertisement features Pathos, because the little boy in the advertisement will probably make people feel guilty, because they spend a lot of money on unnecessary things and waste it, but this child says “Don’t I deserve a happy life?”, and this will probably make people from our society want to spend money to support this cause. This advertisement also features patriotism, because it suggests that purchasing this product will show the love, and support you have towards your country. This company makes people from America want to support this cause. It says in the advertisement,” Help stop child poverty in America”. This advertisement also features Transfer andWeasel Words because it uses positive words, and positive images to suggest that the product being sold is also positive.
In this generation businesses use commercial to persuade different types of audiences to buy their product or to persuade them to help a certain caused. If you analyze commercial you can see how certain things play a major role in the success of a commercial. The ad I decide to analyze as an example is the commercial snickers used during the Super Bowl in 2010;”Betty White”-Snickers. This commercials starts off with guys playing a game of football with an elderly women know as Betty White. As Betty White tries to play football she is tackled to the ground. Her teammates refer to her as Mike when they come up to her to ask why she has been “playing like Betty White all day”. This helps inform the audience that Betty White is not actually playing but instead represent another teammate. As the guys keep arguing Mikes girlfriend calls her over and tells her to eat a snicker. Betty White takes the first bite and then suddenly a man appears in her place ready to finish the game. At the end of the commercial the statement "You're not you when you're hungry" is shown followed by the Snickers bar logo. What this commercial is trying to show is that hunger changes a person, and satisfying this hunger can change you back to your normal self. They use different types
Ram’s commercial about why God made a farmer first aired on super bowl Sunday 2013. The commercial started off by looking over a field and the narrator starts by says “and on the eighth day god looked down on his planned paradise and said ‘I need a caretaker’ so God made a farmer”. The commercial carries on from there showing only pictures of farm land, animals, farm equipment, farmers and families. The farmers are of all colors, ages, and sexes. While the pictures are rolling the narrator is still talking in the back ground, explaining all the reasons God created a farmer. He needed someone, “willing to sit up all night with a newborn baby colt, watch it die, dry his eyes and say ‘maybe next year’… will finish a 40 hour week by noon Tuesday and then paining from tractor back, put in another 72 hours… somebody who’d bale a family together… sign and reply with smiling eyes when his son say that he wants to spend his life doing what dad does”. Then at the end shows the Ram’s truck logo and also the FFA ...
Advertisements are one of many things that Americans cannot get away from. Every American sees an average of 3,000 advertisements a day; whether it’s on the television, radio, while surfing the internet, or while driving around town. Advertisements try to get consumers to buy their products by getting their attention. Most advertisements don’t have anything to do with the product itself. Every company has a different way of getting the public’s attention, but every advertisement has the same goal - to sell the product. Every advertisement tries to appeal to the audience by using ethos, pathos, and logos, while also focusing on who their audience is and the purpose of the ad. An example of this is a Charmin commercial where there is a bear who gets excited when he gets to use the toilet paper because it is so soft.
As a car drives by the window, the viewer sees the dog lift his head up and lay it down when he realizes it is not his owner. After this scene, the following words are shown on the commercial, “For some, the waiting never ended. But we can change that.” According to MADD, “In 2015, 10,265 people died in drunk driving crashes… 290,000 were injured in drunk driving crashes.” The next morning the owner walks in through the door and says, “I decided I shouldn’t drive home last night”, this shows how responsible the owner is because he does not want to hurt others if he had drove while drunk. In the background, the viewer hears the lyrics, “I’ll be waiting here for you, when you come home to me…” which supports the fact that the dog has been waiting all night for the owner to come back safe and sound. The next scene in the commercial says, “Make a plan to make it home. Your friends are counting on you.” By having the saying in third person, the commercial is trying to persuade the reader to drink responsibly because there is always someone waiting at home. In the end credits, the viewer sees the famous Budweiser logo with the hashtag friends are waiting. In the bottom of the ad, the Budweiser commercial had the words “Enjoy responsibly” on
Almost every commercial uses Pathos, an appeal to emotions, to convince the viewer that their product is the best choice for them. The use of Pathos enables the persuader to reach out to the audience in a subconscious or even unconscious level. Emotion creates a bond with the viewer and the advertiser. Liberty Mutual commercials convince us that they provide the best coverage and benefits, such as 24 hour road side assistance and easy repair estimates. In particular, their commercials stand out as as one who uses humor and fear, and then provides reassurance to coax us to chose their insurance over others.
In 2010 the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) came out with a commercial that would shock the advertisement industry. The effectiveness of this commercial is proven, simply by watching the reactions of the commercial’s viewers. For those who have never seen the video it has a very sad and morose tone to it. The commercial begins with showing pictures and videos of suffering animals with the song “Angel” playing in the background. While this is going on the narrator of the commercial (Sarah McLachlen) is softly talking about the suffering and abuse that these unfortunate animals go through. Through many different rhetorical techniques the viewers are many times brought to tears after watching this commercial. When thinking of pieces of Rhetoric that demonstrates the use of pathos, the first thing I think of is this commercial. The sole purpose of this commercial is to emotionally compromise the audience until eventually the viewers will donate money to the cause. This video is so affective at completing this goal because of the way it connects to the viewers, and the way it uses many different methods to attack the viewer’s emotions.
When the U.S prepares for the Super Bowl, Americans become excited for two things, football and commercials. This February, the NFL had its 48th annual Super Bowl in conjunction with the highly anticipated commercials. There was one commercial released by a world famous soda producer, Coca Cola, which has created much controversy. Coca Cola took a unique take on the classic “America the Beautiful” song that has caused quite an uproar regarding prejudice, discrimination, and ethnicity in America.
In 1919, farmers from thirty states, including Missouri, saw a need. They gathered in Chicago and formed the American Farm Bureau Federation. In 1919, they had one goal, they wanted to speak for themselves with the help of their own national organization. Since 1919, Farm Bureau has operated by a philosophy that states: “analyze the problem of farmers and develop a plan of action for these problems” (Missouri). In the past 94 years, the A...
In the “Chevy Runs Deep” commercial, I would consider the central message to be that Chevy is a reliable and long-lasting company which manufactures a dependable line of vehicles. Though the truck in the video is old, it seems to have remained reliable, as it was used often by a man and then by his son. Due to the element of family memories in this video, my position as an audience member is sympathetic, simply due to witnessing a similar situation. My father has had the same old Chevy for over twenty-five years, yet he holds on to it because it still runs great and is full of wonderful memories. However, I believe that the creator of this video is trying to reach a neutral audience who may not yet have a firm opinion about Chevy or their products. It
The video describes how our society may not even care about the product being advertised, but we still read the billboard or watch the commercial. Also mentioned was the use of colors in a commercial, the marketing effects in politics, and even market research obtained by studying different cults. Frontline takes an in-depth look at the multibillion-dollar “persuasion industries” of advertising and how this rhetoric affects everyone. So whether this is in the form of a television commercial or a billboard, pathos, logos, and ethos can be found in all advertisements.
