Lipton Ice Tea - ''Tokyo Dancing Hotel'' Ad
My favorite Advertisement’s name is ‘’ Tokyo Dancing Hotel’’ , for the drink Lipton Ice Tea. Ironically, it wasn’t shot in Tokyo, but in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It stars the actor Hugh Jackman, who is known for his role on the ‘’X-Men’’ series as Wolverine and in the ‘Van Helsing Movie’ as the main role.
In this ad, the only thing you see him doing is basically dancing. Hugh Jackman plays a man who seems a little tired, run out, and who’s in a place where he doesn’t have anyone around him that he knows. He then has a sip of the drink and starts to feel alive and positive, skillfully dances through various rooms in a luxury hotel, with hotel staff and guests joining him and mirroring his energetic moves.
I liked it because it has a feeling of happiness, the music used is a cheerful, funky, disco song, the dance brings out the feeling of energy and liveliness, and also because the actor Hugh Jackman is one of my favorite Australian actors.
This ad isn’t targeted at one particular generation, but everyone as a whole, because the ad is selling a drink which can be consumed by people from all ages. And as some of most of you know, Tea is originally from the East Asian countries, like China, Japan, Korea and even India. So the place where the ad takes place wasn’t chosen randomly, but because Japan is one of the places in the world where tea is very appreciated and used in the everyday life.
The main message of this ad is happiness, energy. Like, sometimes you feel worn out, tired. Who wouldn’t want a little bit of energy and happiness, so you could continue what you were doing? And just by watching this video I feel happy, and I even find myself smiling while watching the video, because in some ways, it’s kinda funny. It’s not like you can see an actor who plays serious roles on action movies play and dance to a cheerful music like this one.

Overall, I think this ad is positive, healthy and does not send a wrong idea to the public, for example, it does not try

    The commercial uses the element of ethos to appeal to authority. The commercial does this by using a physically attractive male who immediately demands your attention at the beginning of the commercial by commanding “look at me; now look at your man, now back at me”. This immediately builds up a sense of respect and authority from the speaker, and helps build up the credibility of the commercial.…

    On the other hand, this advertisement is not entirely based on sex appeal and masculinity. It flashes from the bathroom to him being on a boat in an ocean. It also shows him on a horse by the beach. This gives the viewer a sense of happiness that comes along with being at the beach and by the ocean, and even shows a sense of need to escape.…

    The ad starts out by creating a serious mood by using a gray, cloudy, and cold scenery. The lights in the bar are dimmed. There is rain and snow in the commercial which are known to set thoughtful, dour, and sometimes sad moods. The commercial used these details to have the audience want to keep watching to see what happens next, therefor it keeps them from skipping the ad. In the article of Making Sense of Ads stated that advertising researchers devote large sums to testing consumers’ responses…

    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.…

    This advertisement is trying to convince its viewers that if you buy the foods they are selling, you can have a dramatic loss in weight. The ad shows a before and after picture comparing the two and how much skinnier she is now just because of eating these foods. Also, it shows a text of how much weight she has lost, and article of how it changed her life, a quote in big bold letters, samples of the food and at the bottom, and it shows the name of the product that is in big bold letters so it gets every ones attention. The emotional appeal I think this one has is the need for attention because of the face that you want to lose all this weight to look good for other people and is not happy with the way your body is already. In my opinion, this does manipulate the public dramatically because everyone wants that great look you can get by slimming down easy.…

    Meet Smiling Bob

    • 951 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The commercial starts off with a once popular catch phrase coined by Enzyte: “Meet Bob.” There is no mistaking that Bob is a happy man, given that throughout the commercial, his facial expression is occupied by a painfully awkward smile. As the audience is given a peek into Bob's life, it is apparent that his place of work is riddled with monotony and mindless routine. As the camera takes the audience from the elevator to Bob's cubical, coworkers seem to barely exist in their lackluster work environment. Everyone that he works with show little signs of emotion aside from disappointment, and envy when they gander into Bob's workspace. After a trip to Bob's work, the audience is then taken to Bob's neighborhood, which is seemingly reminiscent of 1960's style suburbia. Bob's neighbor is seen watering his garden, and after he sees how chipper Bob is, his hose goes limp (an obvious sexual innuendo). Finally, we meet Bob's wife; the only other person Bob’s utopic world that shows any emotion. Together, they are…

    The first thing that grabs my attention with this advertisement is an example of “ethos” because they used a well-known figure, Katy Perry, to promote their product. When you see celebrities that are promoting brands it makes people think “If this product is good enough for them, it is good enough for me.” I feel this mentality occurs more frequently when a celebrity is promoting make up and skin care products. With celebrities having money, they could buy the best brands out there, so when you see them promoting a product that is in a better appeal for many people (ex. Drug store brands) it can sway someone’s opinion.…

    The first commercial is an Old Spice commercial starring an Afro-American man with a body type that is between healthy and athletic, leaning more towards athletic. This is to help appeal to the buyers that if men were to buy the product for themselves or women for their men, then they could smell as good as the actor looks. He is standing in a pearl colored bathroom with the shower running in the background, which is supposed to help sooth people from the sound of running water. The actor is alone with no shirt on and a towel wrapped around his waist so as to help show off his muscular upper body and have more sex appeal.…

    At first glance, you see a giant waterfall with a beautiful display of a variety of colors that stand out the most. At the next glance, you see the man rowing an old-fashioned one-seat boat in the lower right hand corner. It takes a few seconds to understand what exactly is supposed to be going on in the ad. However, as soon as the audience sees the noise reduction headphones on the man’s head they finally realize he cannot hear the waterfall behind him. By letting the audience figure out the ad, it adds to the humor that is already present in the ad. This ad keeps the audience thinking about it by making them wonder what will happen…
