“EAT MOR CHIKIN”

This advertisement is from Chick-fil-A. The slogan features cows that are seen holding signs that read: “EAT MOR CHIKIN” in all capital letters. Chick-fil-A is an American fast food restaurant specializing in chicken sandwiches. Founded in 1946, it has been associated with the Southern United States, where it has become a cultural icon. Chick-fil-A has over 1,700 restaurants in 38 U.S states. The corporations culture is heavily influenced by its founders evangelical christian beliefs.

The main audience for this advertisement is for people who are hungry looking for food. Or simply just people that like to eat chicken. As people drive by the advertisement they may want to stop at a Chik-fil-A to get some food, since they can see that they serve chicken. Americans who dislike beef are also an audience for this advertisement. By looking at the advertisement people can automatically know that beef is not sold at the restaurant which would make them want to go get food there.

To persuade is the main purpose of this advertisement. The cows are trying to persuade the people to eat more chicken, instead of beef by holding the signs. To inform people that the restaurant sells chicken is another purpose for the advertisement. Another main purpose is to show the cows opinion on what they would prefer Americans to eat.

In this advertisement ethos is illustrated by having the cows hold the signs that read “EAT MOR CHIKIN”. The cows are not really saying it because they really want us to eat more chicken, but instead it is to show that the cows have united in an effort to reform American food, in an effort to reduce the amount of beef consumed. They wish the American public to refrain from eating beef burgers, and instead focus on eating chicken.

The pathos in this advertisement shows that the cows are really working together to stop people from consuming beef. It makes audience feel bad because it

    The claim that the farmer is using in this video is that "Fatter , Bigger, and Cheaper" livestock isn't better than grass-fed livestock. The rhetorical appeal they used in this video is Logos due to the everything they talk about that is a system for farmer markets and farms. Some evidence that shows he used logos, is when he talked about the way they grow their livestock is in disagreement with the USDA when they have been successful by paying attention to the ecological problems. The USDA kept using the performance of how sanitary they are even thought they had an average CFU of 130. They also grow animals that are mainly grass fed which is way better than corn-fed cows along with taking care of the heavier harvest, transport of cows, food,…

    Since then, Chick-fil-A has steadily grown to become the second largest quick-service chicken restaurant chain in the United States, with over 1,700 locations in 39 states and Washington, D.C. In 2012, their annual sales were over $4.6 billion. Today, Chick-fil-A is still privately held and family owned. They have endured 45 consecutive years with positive sales growth. When examining Chick-fil-A against its competitors, it is easy to see that the company has set itself apart by pioneering innovations and delicious products—including the ever-popular Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich. For the past 66 years, their mission has been to build a commitment to service. This includes service to their customers, service to their franchised restaurant operators, their team Members, and most importantly service to the communities in which Chick-fil-A restaurants reside. Truett believed that this begins in the restaurant – one customer at a time. He firmly believed in treating every person who came through the doors with honor, dignity, and respect. He also taught this to everyone who came to work at Chick-fil-A, and this concept has made this multi-billion dollar company what it is today.…

    Advertisement companies use logos to provide their audience with credible facts and statistics that will persuade the viewer to either buy their product or pay more attention to the message being conveyed in their ad.

    Not only is Pathos used in this commercial, but also Ethos is used generously. Ethos is another rhetorical appeal that is used to appeal to the audience by creating credibility. Pretty much everything that is said in this video is a rhetorical appeal. The “Mom song” says, “Old Spice sprayed a man of my son,…

    The commercial follows a man, that slowly amassed a following of those that need help. The way I view the commercial, is the man isn’t being followed by an actual group of people but is being haunted by the thoughts of those in need. The commercial relies heavily on pathos, ethos, and logos; the use of melancholy music sets the tone of the whole commercial. Putting all this together, allows the viewer to realize what a difference one person can make if they see someone in need of help. This commercial was made to show the various issues in the world.…

    The ad shows four women standing around a sign that says “For MEN Only.” They don what the average housewife wore during the 1940s –aprons. There is a play-on with diction under the sign stating ‘ “He-Man” is the word for these hearty soups! But, Ladies, you’ll like ‘em too!” A he-man is a robust chap, and what ways to best describe a product that is tiered originally towards men. The sentence that says “But, Ladies, you’ll like ‘em too!”, could mean that women find strong men irresistible. In the case of beef soup, womenfolk would love this product just as much as they love manly-men. The problem displayed within the ad is that they stigmatized women as being a hopeless bunch without a man to be there to guide them. They are circumscribed towards just being a housewife. There is a “gendered split between the public and private [spheres]” (Day 127). Tracing “back to the Industrial Revolution…men began to perform paid labor outside of the home and women continued to perform the unpaid family labor (Medved, 2007).” (127). This soon became “the product of hegemonic patriarchal power structures that privilege men’s work over women’s work (Fletcher, 1999)” (127) due to the “separation of domestic and professional spheres…” (127). Because of this, “Men’s paid labor has historically been valued more than women’s unpaid domestic labor,…

    The use of pathos is one of the effective techniques that the marketer uses in the advertisement. Pathos are used to affect the audience emotions and are probably one of the most persuasive content of the advertisement. The marketer uses statements such as, “No Dust Bag, No Paper Bag, Nothing to Take Out, and No Dirt To Handle Ever.” Just to think of not having to face the headache of buying and changing bags will cause the potential consumer to have feelings of excitement and happiness. Not only does the advertisement use text as pathos to appeal to the potential consumer’s emotions, but the ad contains images and coloring as well. In this particular advertisement, there are two beautiful women at the top of the ad that are talking to each other. The women are showing facial expressions that reflect the information they are talking about is very informing and interesting. The advertiser also uses…

    Chipotle Satire

    • 620 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In the early 2010’s fast food, with health twists was popular. The population was becoming more worried and conscience about what they fed themselves and their families, and this, combined with the always-busy, modern-day society in need of quick meals, gives an opening for fast-food restaurants like Taco Time, Chipotle, and Taco Del Mar to spot light their greasy-burger-free, and sometimes organic, menus. In 2010 Chipotle released a commercial called “Scarecrow” showing an animated scarecrow witnessing the cruelness and fraud and of big food corporations, and then starting his own organic restaurant, which the audience assumes is Chipotle; all to the tune of “Pure Imagination” covered by Fiona Apple. Funny or Die, a well known comedy web site, made a satire of Chipotle’s “Scarecrow”, called “Honest Scarecrow”, which changed the lyrics and added other words, images, and sounds in order to mock Chipotle’s, and other restaurants’, emotional and exaggerated way of advertising. “Honest Scarecrow” by Funny or Die, released in 2013, convinces fast-food consumers, to not let ads determine where we eat, because ads can be misleading and can play on emotions.…

    Example the chicken is on a belt and they put a shot in and he gets big than they box them up. The scarecrow then covers it up with a board symbolizing that farmers do not want anyone to see what is happening. Randy Krotz explains the ad as “It’s a fabrication of how food is produced and fabrication that drives the sales for food they produce,” (http://www.politico.com) Then one day the scarecrow gets a seed and he moves out to the country and starts a farm. The first thing they grow is a chipotle than he raises cattle and chickens that are so happy and what not. In these ads you will never see a tractor, farmer, cattle eating, or any type of…

    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…

    Advertisements are everywhere. From billboards, to magazines, to newspapers, flyers and TV commercials, chances are that you won’t go a day without observing some sort of ad. In most cases, companies use these ads as persuasive tools, deploying rhetorical appeals—logos, pathos, and ethos—to move their audiences to think or act in a certain way. The two magazine ads featured here, both endorsing Pedigree products, serve as excellent examples of how these modes of persuasion are strategically used.…

    Animals which are used in advertisements usually don’t have any or much relevance to the products being advertised. An example of this is the adverts for Dulux Paint, which uses an Old English Sheep dog in their adverts. They have used this breed of dog in their adverts since 1961 because this breed of dog has been used for so many years people associate it with the Dulux Company. The adverts catch people’s attention and as the dog has no relevance to paint products and therefore people will discuss the adverts. Another example of animals having no relevance to the product in which they are being advertised is the Andrex adverts, they use Labrador puppies in their adverts for toilet paper. When the adverts first came out, Golden Labrador puppies became extremely in demand. However some of the people who were buying the puppies had done little to no research about the dog. The appeal of owning a Labrador was having a small, cute dog. However many owners didn’t realise the size that they would grow to, many owners then re-homed them as they grew larger.…
