White Honda Advertising
I’m Dreaming of a White Honda

“All dreams are worth chasing, all you have to do is keep moving towards them.”
-Viola Davis

Viola Davis’ quote was arguably one of the most inspirational moments of the 2017 Super Bowl. This Honda commercial featuring many famous people including Jimmy Kimmel and Tina Fey used these famous peoples’ yearbook pictures to help you develop emotions about the advertisement. Honda was implying that if you buy a Honda then it will help you accomplish your dreams. By using the yearbook pictures they are showing that when you set a goal, if you persevere, then you will accomplish it. It doesn’t just come naturally.
Since it was a Honda commercial and Honda creates cars, the demographic that they were advertising could only apply to people. Certain people that are at the age of getting a new car or purchasing a used car from a Honda dealership. Honda’s cars favor no certain gender, so their cars are for everyone. This is the same with people of all ages who have a license. My brother has his learner's permit and is about to receive his license. His car is a Honda CR-V, which is the car that is coincidentally advertised in the commercial. He enjoys his car very

They used the sensitivity appeal when they were saying motivational things that made people emotional. One of the quotes, like the one above, quoted by Tina Fey started the commercial out to a good start. The words that Tina Fey used were inspirational and was pure evidence of the emotional/sensitivity appeal. This commercial used a lot of the endorsement appeal because of all of the celebrities. Viola Davis and the rest of the celebrities weren’t really talking about the Honda, but their pitch seemed to sell the product. All of these appeals made me want to buy the product even though I don’t have twenty thousand dollars of spare cash or a driver's

    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 was filmed in a way that pleasantly frames the Impala convertible’s features, purposely pushing viewers to purchase the product. The boy’s excitement and the way the producers contrasted the Impala with the boy’s current car, making the Impala seem impeccable, sways viewers in a favorable direction. The slogan, “What a gal, what a night, what a car!” implies that the car impacted the night and made it highly memorable and enjoyable. However, there isn’t much real evidence. The advertisement relies too heavily upon the use of pathos, which doesn’t have confirmed facts to back the feelings that it evokes. If the commercial had significant logos, or factual evidence, to back it up, it would show itself to be consistently reliable. Examining the source of the commercial, it also becomes obvious that it came from a highly biased one. Since Chevrolet’s goal is to sell a large volume of Impalas, they’re quite willing to enact anything that it may require to convince customers of its worthiness. Combined with the fact that commercials are essentially meant to persuade customers that a certain product is superior, it becomes obvious that Chevrolet was not a reliable source for the production of the commercial. Along with suggesting that the Chevrolet Impala convertible is superior, the commercial evades addressing other competitors’ products. This suggests that Chevrolet doesn’t have enough evidence to demonstrate that their product is superior to that of its competitors. Analyzing the overall content of the commercial reveals that the commercial doesn’t have a firm, factual…

    Driving is something that most of us do on a daily basis, and probably without much thought of the risks involved. The ad takes advantage of how commonplace driving is, and uses a simple reminder to make people feel vulnerable in their everyday lives. In addition, it compares the dangers of driving recklessly to the dangers associated with firearms, which have a particularly bad image in the present age. As many people have a fear of guns, it seems like a great way to generate similar fear arounds a grossly unrecognized killer. Arranging the car keys in the shape of a gun is also a great way to catch people’s attention, as guns are considered much more interesting than a pair of car keys. I love how the advertisement draws people in with a certain expectation, and then crushes it, as the focus switches gears toward a completely different…

    All commercials appeal to a person using at least one of three ways: logos, pathos and ethos. When I think of an ad that displays pathos, I think of the disheartening commercial for the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). It is an advertisement that is on TV often whose purpose is getting its audience to support its cause through donations. Because the video shows such resilient emotional appeal, it more effectively targets women who tend to be more susceptible to sentimental propaganda than men. The video is saying that many animals have been helped, but more has to be done. There are still animals out there in need of being rescued from their abusive homes. More donations are needed. The…

    Williamson is interpreting this as when differentiating a brand; advertisers want to stand out from similar products or brands. They want to develop an image that is only successful in so much as if it is part of a system of differences. The identity of the brand depends upon what it is not. It sets up boundaries distinction of the brand. "Subaru owners are 'experience seekers ' -- they want to live bigger, more engaged lives. They choose Subaru as a conscious alternative to the mainstream. To them, the car is the enabler of that bigger life." By focusing on the love they have for their car, Subaru is challenging non-owners: do you love your car? "Love is the most powerful emotion and "I love my Subaru" is the most used phrase. They wanted to show the bond between Subaru owners and their cars through this work (Korzeniewski, 2008). As you watch the commercial, you can’t help but smile because you see can love, compassionate and emotional feelings, and memories between the owner and his…

    The best way to present credibility in is to use reliable resources. In this commercial, the speakers past times of living in Detroit express the understanding of the city’s struggles. Eminem, the rapper, has lived through the ups and downs of Detroit and that’s why he is a perfect example. For instance, many think of Detroit as a place of drugs and Eminem once had a problem with drugs, which gives him credibility. Other effective, credible examples can also be perceived. Like Detroit’s statue, “The Spirit of Detroit” reminds the viewer that the commercial is not only about the car, but also Detroit. The Chrysler 200 advertisement was very effective due to the credibility, the ethos, of the voice and images presented.…

    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…

    When it comes to car buying, there are hundreds of models to choose from. Everyone needs something different from a car. Car manufacturers use advertising to target different audiences with specific needs. Consequently advertisers use color, text and images to fight for the reader’s attention; so that they can influence the viewer’s opinion of their product and therefore persuade them to buy their vehicle rather than any other. This ad for the Honda Odyssey builds a theme of tranquility, through the use of cheerful colors, a peaceful setting and carefully chosen words.…
