Recommended: Super bowl commercial analysis

In the 1960s commercials were more focused on male dominant products such as cars, parts or male-oriented products. During the 1970s commercials expanded subject matter and used sex appeal and music such as jingles in its commercials. This ended up setting a new trend. Furthermore, in the 80s and 90 super bowl ads focused on the use of celebrities and background music. People had also started to see more ads targeted toward the female audience. As the 2000s rolled in, these ads started to present less and less product detail and information and used animals, children, and humor instead. Additionally, with the super bowl being the largest food consumption day of the year it added to the popularity of food and beverage commercials. The current

    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.

  • Robert Scholes on Video Texts - Comparison

    2393 Words  | 5 Pages

    According to Robert Scholes, author of On Reading a Video Text, commercials aired on television hold a dynamic power over human beings on a subconscious level. He believes that through the use of specific tools, commercials can hold the minds of an audience captive, and can control their abilities to think rationally. Visual fascination, one of the tools Scholes believes captures the minds of viewers, can take a simple video, and through the use of editing and special effects, turn it into a powerful scene which one simply cannot take his or her eyes from. Narrativity is yet another way Scholes feels commercials can take control of the thoughts of a person sitting in front of the television. Through the use of specific words, sounds, accompanying statements and or music, a television commercial can hold a viewer’s mind within its grasp, just long enough to confuse someone into buying a product for the wrong reason. The most significant power over the population held by television commercials is that of cultural reinforcement, as Scholes calls it. By offering a human relation throughout itself, a commercial can link with the masses as though it’s speaking to the individual viewer on an equal level. A commercial In his essay, Scholes analyzes a Budweiser commercial in an effort to prove his statements about the aforementioned tools.

  • Masters of Desire: The Culture of American Advertising

    378 Words  | 1 Pages

    Other commercials, according to Solomon, thrive on fitting in. The Chevrolet commercials have a slogan that makes one feel to be American, one must by American. Chevrolet's slogan is 'The Heartbeat of America.'; Car commercials also have targeted markets also. For a truck commercial, they will show a truck getting all dirty and going through an obstacle. This is targeted towards men because most men find these things appealing. For a luxury car commercial the mood or the commercial is nice and pleasant, the car is on a country road (representing one driving to there country home). These cars were once targeted towards upper class people, but now they are targeted towards everyone according to Solomon. A commercial strives on the ever so enduring drive for Americans to have better things and climb up the social status ladder. Marketers know this, so they place normal, average, everyday looking people in their commercials to let middle class people know that they can have the car, too.

    Late night driving home, and a strange man is on the side of the road with an axe, but hey, he has Bud Light so why not offer him a ride? In this video ad of Bud Light a couple is lost at night in what seems the middle of nowhere. Seeing a man with an Axe carrying Bud Light Case, the male seeing that he has Bud Light wants to offer him a ride; they pull over and he gets in the car. A glass and bottle of Bud Light appears and the words “Always Worth It” displayed (Viral 0:24). Later, they run in to a mask man with a chain saw and is also carrying Bud Light, and so the male again was to offer him a ride and leads to the commercial ending (Viralstuff 0:28). In this ad, it attracts a white male, and female audience that has low income, and between the ages of 21 and 30, which makes sense because Bud light sell more to Hispanic males that have low income rate, and are between the age of 55-65 (Bud Light Consumer).

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.

  • Discrimination in Football

    682 Words  | 2 Pages

    It is important for a company to air adverts that cater to the demographic of the viewers, but these commercials were clearly sexist. Most never even mentioned a woman, much less acknowledge that women watch football games as well. In the airline commercial advertising Internet, there was not a single woman on the plane, much less one that needed to use the Internet or wanted to watch the game. The SUV advert used the woman as a ploy to grab a man’s attention, her outfit was revealing and she was driving like she was in an action film. Providing advertisements that cater to women’s interests as well will not result in as many sales and the companies goal is to get more sales, but they do not have to completely alienate women for a dollar. Women like using the Internet on planes too.

    According to Mark Dolliver, “foods account for 39 percent of TV advertising seen by 2-7 year olds, 95 percent of that seen by 8-19s and 92 percent of that seen by 13-17s.On a typical day, the 2-7 year olds are exposed to 4:51 minutes of food commercials.” (Dolliver, 2007. p.1) Dolliver used statistics to show much how children are seeing these commercials. Throughout the rest of the article he talks about the increasing amounts of time that children spend watching television and the types of foods that are being advertised. Depending on the family dynamic in the household, children could be watching more television than the statistics that Dolliver presents in his study. This is what would be characterized as the advertisement of obesity in todays society. Before televisions were made, there were print advertisements that contributed to the purchasing of junk or fast foods like the 1956 Canada Dry Ginger Ale Print Ad. Although for 1956, there is not a lot of information about the obesity epidemic, it contributes to how powerful advertisements can be. These advertisements whether it is from the 1950s or if it is from today, largely influence the food quality that children are wanting or expecting. When children are exposed to television advertisements about unhealthy products in large quantities, they are more susceptible to the risk of obesity. Television

    I’ve always wanted to have my own 1982 C10 Chevy Silverado they're unique and beautiful and reliable. When I was younger my dad owned a Silverado; it was beautiful, it sounded like a monster and it drove like one. This is when my love for trucks started, I remember watching the Chevy commercials and how cool they were. Chevy should be one of your first options when buying a vehicle. One of the reasons is because it rides like it is “expensive” and hey, who wouldn’t want a car/truck that rides like a “ferrari”. I analyzed a Chevrolet ad carefully and realized how much weasel words they use to manipulate people into thinking that Chevy is the brand that’s on top. Also, creating a false need by making a ridiculous assertion in their ad. Chevy
