Some form bonds that become timeless. The 2013 “The Clydesdales Brotherhood” commercial is illustrated as following a single Clydesdale on a journey whereby this foal is presented true dedication and skill by its owner. This simple but heartfelt ad demonstrates the bond between two, such as man and animal; it is a brotherhood. The advertisement uses pathical and ethical appeal to influence adults, particularly men, who value the hard work in forming a strong bond, just as Budweiser wishes to form a bond with the customers of the product. It has passed resulted, just as the commercial, the return of the horse to its owner, just as the return of the consumer to the brand. “Well I’ve been afraid of changing cause I’ve built my life around you, but time makes you bolder even when you get older and I’m getting older too.” Fleetwood Mac sings the melancholy song as the rancher so carefully feeds and nurtures the baby Clydesdale with a bottle (0:00-0:24). The tone intensifies the emotions of “The Clydesdale Brotherhood” commercial. As viewers see in the ad, the small horse grows older, just as the lyrics state that “even when you get older and I’m getting older too,” the farmer …show more content…
grows with it: mentally, emotionally, and physically. Of the many theoretical approaches to elicit emotion, music has an extensive role in it. Slow melodies typically tend to touch the feelings of serenity. When listening to the commercial by Budweiser, the company accomplishes its objective of clasping the attention of the public to their alcohol emotionally. Melodies reach far beyond the ears; musical preferences do vary, but it all means the same to people’s brains. It all makes the same impact to viewers’ heats, and it all has the same impact of persuasion. The colors of the commercial have a calm setting. The color of Budweiser, blue, psychologically evokes innumerable feelings of security and trust. As the logo of Budweiser is red, a warm color, they scientifically extract emotions that can spark a variety of areas in the brain ranging from comfort to warmth to even anger but not in this case. The soft colors of the foal grow abundantly darker as he swiftly grows older. The rancher dedicates his time and skill to this fledgling wherewith he emotionally binds himself to this newborn. The ad wants the spectators to emotionally bind to them, even by only using the colors of this world in a scientifical method. Stereotypically this rancher’s ambience is passion for his work.
The circumstance of the horse remembering him in the end gives a sense of security for this bond. Elements of persuasion - otherwise known as “appeals” - are recognized as ethos, pathos, and logos. They are all by virtue of persuasion to make a precise point to the viewers. Pathos is clearly applied in the 2013 “The Clydesdales Brotherhood” commercial because the author desires to invoke sympathy from the audience. Derived from the Greek language, pathos means both “suffering” and “experience.” Pathos is implied by the emotional tone of the music, the story of heartfelt events, and the unspoken meanings. Therefore this ad that Budweiser has created demonstrates a comprehensible amount of persuasion and becomes successful as of
it. Budweiser wishes to be of exceptional character. Therefore, the ethical appeal is applied in the 2013 Budweiser “The Clydesdales Brotherhood” commercial, meaning to convince the viewers of the credibility and character of the brand. Directly translating from the Greek language as “character” is ethos, and the word “ethics” deriving precisely from ethos. Although no words are spoken besides the melodies of Fleetwood Mac, Budweiser still obtains the attention of the watchers and ethically persuades people of the credibility of their brand of beer. In an interview with Douglas Rushkoff in The Persuaders it is stated, “You can build mystery if you believe the story.” Budweiser wishes to have a personal connection with all the diverse people. In doing so the company builds the story to force us to believe that the product is worthy. These advertisers use our emotions against us. In this ad it is clear that the emotions of men are used against them by showcasing the dedication and hard work of how it pays off. It pays off with camaraderie. As gathered, the advertisement uses emotional appeal to influence adults, particularly men, who value the hard work in forming a strong bond, just as Budweiser wishes to form a bond with the customers of this product. The sincere commercial is successful by means of showing that once forming such a bond, the horse always returns and remembers the ways of his owner just as the customers of this product will always remember and return to the ways of this brand. Pathos is used with feeling, influence, and emotion; ethos with credibility and experience. This heartfelt ad indicates the bond between two, an everlasting bond, and a timeless brotherhood.
People will then associate the product with the positive feeling, making it easier to persuade the person to buy.Pathos is a tactic well used in the commercial because of the upbeat music and colors along with catchy phase “Reese's puffs, Reese's puff, peanut butter chocolate flavor” on repeat it stays in people's
The viewer will see how constant Maddie has been throughout the woman’s life. Maddie was with the woman for all of the good times and the bad times. Maddie was in this woman’s biggest and happiest occasions, including the woman’s graduation. This trigger is effective because people with animals know the estimated life span of that animal. The woman got Maddie when she was younger. The woman knew she would have Maddie in her life while she grew up. When the woman got older she would realize that she would outlive the dog. The commercial uses people’s natural tendencies to nurture and love pets and peoples need for companionship to draw
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.
One of my favorite commercials to watch is the Chick-Fil-A commercials. Their commercials are very ironic but at the same time interesting and entertaining. The main purpose of their commercial is to persuade an audience to go and buy their product or maybe convince an audience to come back again and buy more of their product. They are able to influence their audience through the use of rhetorical elements. Rhetorical elements include: the rhetor, discourse, audience, and rhetorical triangle. Their commercials don’t necessarily target one particular audience, they incorporate different ideas into their commercial to target different audiences such as families, and football fans.
The look on the man’s face when he looks up portrays the emotions that the audience is feeling: shock, joy, and relief. Finally the sun comes back out and the man has both his dog and his horse back at home. There are many rhetorical strategies that Budweiser uses in their advertisement. The biggest being pathos. They use pathos in almost every aspect of their commercial. By changing the lighting, music, and overall relatability they are able to change the audience’s emotions. They also use ethos in their commercial by always reminding you of their brand.
“Every day in America, another 27 people die as a result of drunk driving crashes” (MADD). Budweiser, one of the first national beer brands founded in America, is currently the number three beer brand in the United States. In their “Friends are Waiting” commercial, the viewers see the emotional connection between an affectionate owner and his playful dog. This commercial mainly targets young adults because it is more likely for them to go out and drink. By using these rhetorical appeals: ethos, pathos, and logos; the Budweiser team persuades the readers to always come back home because someone is waiting.

As a child, I always dreamed of growing up. I was eager to have the freedom to make decisions for myself, as well as coming and going as I pleased. I would often fantasize about being old enough to get a job, so that I could buy my own things whether it be toys in my mere ages or purchasing a car once I became of age. Growing up and growing old is inevitable. Although now that I am older, I most certainly wish I was a carefree child again. Contrary to belief most children that become pre-teens, then teenagers & later young adults don’t consider our parents regards for us growing up. We never correlate to how they feel about their children growing up right before their eyes until we become wise adults. This commercial’s catchphrase , "What's between us, connects us," insinuates connections to the window, precisely the glass that was being cleansed by Windex. In the opening scene of the advertisement, the affectionate father first glances
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.
The commercial described in Scholes composition is a “well-known Budweiser commercial which tells…the life story of a black man pursuing a career as a baseball umpire” (Scholes, p. 620). Scholes feels that this commercial elegantly proves his theory that video texts can hold a viewer captive and control his thought pattern through the use of visual effects, narrativity, and of course, cultural reinforcement. The commercial itself tells the story of a young black man, working as an umpire in the minor baseball leagues, risen from the provinces, having overcome great racial tension throughout his life, who “makes it” as he is accepted by a white manager after making a close call during a game.
This advertisement from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) immediately affects the viewer’s emotions. By playing sad music in the background while images of scared and injured animals pass the screen, the creators of this advertisement are successful in compelling many viewers to open up their wallets and donate to the cause. Through the use of common rhetorical devices as well as less obvious strategies, this advertisement targets the viewer’s mind and succeeds in its goal of presenting the topic as a problem that needs to be solved. However, it is interesting to consider whether the problem that should be addressed is really animal neglect or something bigger, like the fact that many citizens prioritize
Dove addressed a prominent issue in young girls’ lives today by their use of kairos. Through ethos, Dove develops a strong ethical appeal to their audience. The commercial would not be impactful without the use of pathos to appeal to the audience's emotion. The use of logos gives an argument and a solution to the self-esteem issue. Although the Dove Self-Esteem Project commercial does have native advertising that sells their product indirectly and commits many fallacies, the ethical and emotional appeal in the commercial makes the project not only relatable, but
The advertisement, "If you let me play," provides evidence to support the implementation of three rhetoric devices: pathos, egos, and logos. Pathos is intended to convince the audience of a specific argument to instill an emotional response. The advertisement uses pathos to make girls and young women feel better about themselves by promoting positivity through sports. Also, the image of the little girl on the Nike campaign poster shows an emotional connection with the audience through her soft smile. The sympathetic look allows the audience to share a common feeling that Nike is
Frontline takes an in-depth look at the multibillion-dollar “persuasion industry” 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. Paragraph 7: Conclusion Rhetoric is easily seen when comparing and contrasting these two forms of advertisement, as has been proven. Between the Doritos commercial and the smoking billboard, examples of pathos, logos, and ethos were not hard to find. Both advertisements, though, were different in their ways of expressing rhetoric.
From the Marlboro advertising campaign, which ran from 1954 to 1990, one of the most striking features of this advert is the image of a cowboy. The Marlboro man has become an iconic figure and is associated with a stereotypical rugged outdoor man. This was very effective in terms of generating sells because cowboys are famous for being rugged, cool and tough. Furthermore, most of their targeted customers were men who like to be independent and respected hence resonate well with the used brand image. However, the cowboy image also works well with the second predominant feature of the ad, the slogan "Come to where the flavor is. Come to Marlboro Country." is as if the cowboy is inviting the viewer where he can embrace nature and freedom while escaping stress of a hard life. Also the repetition and the parallel structure of ‘Come t...
