Nolan Cheese: Super Mouse

The Nolan Cheese advertisement targets audience of all ages and both genders. The ad grabs the audience’s attention with lighthearted music, melodramatic music, and upbeat, youthful music. It shows an endearing mouse enjoying a piece of cheese happily, with no care in the world because the cheese is from the Nolan brand. Unexpectedly, a tragic event takes place that was unforeseeable by the mouse. Some of us would laugh, others would feel sad but no matter the emotion, the fact of the matter is that the ad is able to get a reaction out of its audience. Our attention is held captive by our not knowing what the fate of the mouse is. At this point in time, the audience is unsure of what direction the advertisement is going. The first thing that really grabs the audience’s attention is the mouse. People have mice for pets, and the entertainment industry has made millions from movies such as Stuart Little where a mouse lives as a functional member of a human family, and Ratatouille, where a mouse plays a big part in a French chef’s culinary skills. The epitome of the mouse character is undoubtedly Mickey Mouse. A major icon as a part of Walt Disney’s franchise, people from all across the world are able to recognize Mickey Mouse. Children grow up singing and dancing with Mickey, they learn their ABCs with Mickey , and they dream of one day visiting Disney World to meet Mickey Mouse. Whenever there is a mouse, it would be difficult for the general population to not think of Mickey Mouse, the father of all mice. The advertisement uses the endearing mouse to target the animal lover in us. We love our pets, we treat our pets like family and upon seeing the mouse in the commercial, we automatically care for and are invested in the mouse’s fate - or at least enough to watch

    When creating advertisements, companies work hard to find a way to catch their viewers’ attentions. Whether it be by making a viewer laugh, cry, or even just by providing facts, the company always has a purpose in creating the advertisement. In a new commercial by Extra Gum, viewers’ emotions are on the rise, as the commercial illustrates a love story built on their gum wrappers. The company uses a dramatic tone, pathos, and repetition to emphasize the importance that their gum wrappers played in this story.…

    Chipotle Satire

    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.…

    The screeching cry of a lost child sounds across the entire building through the crowd of people after a young boy is alone for only a minute. This image comes from an advertisement which includes a gloomy setting showing the sadness of something to appeal to the audience’s emotions. The “Quit Smoking” commercial, produced by Fiona Sharkie, starts with a mother and her child walking together through a crowd of people; toward the middle of the video, the mom and her child get separated making the child very upset and scared. The sadness of the child makes parents feel guilty for possibly leaving their children for good. This advertisement does not use logos because smokers do not often look at logic or they would not smoke to begin with because the box of cigarettes exclaims that smoking causes cancer; therefore, logos would not persuade this specific targeted audience. This advertisement uses pathos and ethos to target parents that smoke and smokers who plan to have kids in the future. Although this commercial does not use logos, it still conveys the message that parents do not want to leave their children alone, due to death, successfully using two other rhetorical strategies to persuade smokers to quit smoking.…

    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…

    The most propagandistic part of the commercial I think would be the song, Angel by Sarah McLachlan. ASPCA used this song because it seems like it is directed towards you. Additionally the song plays with your emotions causing you to feel sad for these abused animals. Making you want to donate or rescue an animal. In the song she sings “In the arms of the angel, fly away from here.” The lyrics make you think you could be an angel to save the animal from any harmful situations it was once fighting. It also making you think you could comfort a hurt or an abused animal yourself and make that animal happy and healthy again.…

    Advertisement, is a bait that were casually caught on and we don’t realize until where pulled in. This absurd idealistic method of Ad is a continuously changing strategy of producing a new generation of people.

    Jay Chiat, and expert in the advertising field, looked at advertising differently than those in the advertising business today. He launched the Energizer Bunny and Apple commercials. Not only that, he started a new age of advertising during the Super Bowl. Chiat was an amazing advertiser; however, he reached a point in 1997 where he desired to leave the marketing industry. He no longer agreed with the ideals of the advertising world. In Chiat’s essay, “Illusions are Forever,” he uncovers the true ideals of the marketing industry. His essay discusses how the lies in advertising “lie in the situations, values, beliefs, and cultural norms used to sell a message.”(212) Through this essay, Chiat uses strong, vivacious words to create an image of the true face of advertising. In the same manner, he includes examples and descriptions that embellish that image and grab the attention of the reader. Amidst all of this, Chiat composes his essay in a manner that allows for a clear, insightful message to come across. Chiat is indeed bitter of advertising, but that does not affect his message. He remains conversational throughout the course of the essay. The technique that Chiat uses throughout his writing is superb, and he does an excellent job of getting his message across.…

    Nolan’s Cheddar isn’t the most recognized or known brand, but those who have seen the commercial for it know that it’s “seriously strong” cheese. This advertisement features a curious mouse, who is apparently on top of the world, and a mouse trap. Set in the trap is a chunk of Nolan’s Cheddar, which seems to have extreme powers. The commercial was the winner of the 2010 Best TV Advertisement Award, and is very humorous and a little surprising.…

    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.…

    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…

    Throughout the entire commercial Ford shows all these different scenarios where children, parents, and even cats are in situations they cannot get out of. By choosing those certain people and animals, it appealed to America’s emotions. As well as to those single parents locked out of their house or the little boy who wrecked his tricycle calling for his moms help. They use children and pets to their advantage, due to the fact that people will always find pets and children adorable and cute. Especially with humor added to it, as well as sympathy because it may seem painful and stressful.…

    This is what gives the company their public image. Budweiser uses the golden retriever puppy as their face of the commercial, while Budweiser is the actual speaker. This puppy is relatable because dogs are considered man’s best friend and golden retrievers are family oriented dogs. The other main character, the Clydesdale horse is used because they are the living embodiment of America’s great industrial spirit. The location of the farm gives the audience an image of America. The man used in this commercial is a white, American man who wears a Budweiser hat throughout the commercial, appears to be a farmer and looks like a trustworthy man. He is almost the image of the ideal American man. With the use of this particular actor, Budweiser is showing that they are for hard working…

    The public is filled with Disney products and endorsements. Disneyland is known as the happiest place on Earth and all in thanks to the creator, Walt Disney. Children now look up to Disney as a source of hope, faith and inspiration for the future. Disney left behind tracks to what a child needs to grow and to become happy with the idea that magic exists. His first creation was brought to life by placing upon the name “Mickey.” It is interesting to note that Mickey Mouse started out as an impish, mischievous character that played a cow's teeth like a xylophone in his first movie. He also performed other nasty little tasks as well. This image was soon changed, though, in order that he would appeal to a much wider audience. The most noticeable physical differences between the first Mickey Mouse and his modern day appearance include the addition of white gloves on his hands. There appeared many other changes as he evolved over the years, though. Today, Mickey Mouse is normally dressed in red shorts with two buttons on the front, large yellow shoes, and his trademark white gloves. He sports a bulbous black nose, and he has large eyes. The only similarities he has to a real mouse include his large mouse ears, and his long, skinny tail. Other than those features, Mickey Mouse has his own distinctive look. The small mouse that Walt Disney brought to life went on to star in over one hundred movies. He features as the star in Disney's many theme parks, and his image is recognized around the world. Mickey also has appeared in other media such as video games as well as merchandising, and becomes a real life character at the Disney parks. Walt Disney looked upon the future to bring a smile to children all over the world. Drawing and animating became a gateway to happiness and magic. As a child, Mickey gives out hope in an…
