Snickers Super Bowl Ad 2010

Advertising is what draws a majority of Americans to watch the Super Bowl. Year after year corporations compete for the most memorable commercials. In the 2010 Super Bowl, Snickers uses logos to display that you aren’t you when you’re hungry. That you will embody a different personality and that Snickers satisfies. Snickers are candy bars sold at any grocery store, market or gas station. Snickers consist of peanut nougat topped with roasted peanuts and caramel inside a milk chocolate bar. Snickers are manufactured by Mars, Incorporated and they claim that a Snickers bar is what a person should eat when hungry. Snickers’ memorable advertisement sets the tone for future comedic commercials, but also displays a problem with nutrition in this country. Snickers’ strategy was using humor for the audience to remember the product. The commercial starts with an intense game of park football the audience hears groaning and fighting between the two teams. Next the audience sees that Betty White is playing. Then you see the ball being thrown to Betty White and being tackled into the mud as she misses the ball. Betty White is immediately called out for her bad performance as she walks back to the huddle. Her teammates are calling her by the name Mike and giving her a hard time about not playing well. One of the teammates tries humiliating her by claiming that she is playing like Betty White, which is the punch line of the commercial because she is Betty White. She responds with a memorable funny comeback, “That’s not what you’re girlfriend said.” This is really funny just because Betty White is about 90 years old and she is talking smack on the football field. When all of the guys start arguing, a woman steps in and hands Betty White a Snickers bar and when she takes a bite she transforms into ‘Mike’ and he heads back to the huddle. The commercial ends humorously with Abe

    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…

    In society, everywhere we look we are surrounded by advertisements whether it is television commercials, billboards or flyers. The main purpose of advertisements are to get people to purchase their product. It is important to not only make the advertisements clear that they are trying to sell, but also to actually make the advertisements mean something to us.

    The commercial I choose to do my paper on was a Doritos commercial from Super Bowl XLII. In a Doritos ‘commercial, a man working in his garden becomes suspicious when he sees his Great Dane burying what appears to be the collar of a missing cat. Next thing the man knows he’s staring eye to eye with the pooch, who’s realized his master has caught him getting rid of evidence of a heinous crime. To buy his silence the dog slips his owner a bag of Doritos with a note attached reading ‘You didn’t see nuthin.” The man acknowledges the dog with a smile of agreement and it shows the Doritos logo. The commercial’s punch line comes when the man takes the Doritos inside and happily devours the bag. As he finishes the bag and is scourging for crumbs his wife from another room says ‘Honey, have you seen the cat?’ The man from the kitchen looks up at the sliding glass door to see the Great Dane standing on the other side with another bag of Doritos and says “Nope”. The commercial then ends.…

    The screen fades up to an image of a soldier being greeted by his wife in an airport. “On Jan 8th, Lt. Chuck Nadd came home” is printed across the screen. Soon after, it cuts to a clip of the couple driving home in a red Ford Explorer with the caption “we gave him a homecoming he’d never forget” in white. It is unclear at this point, however, who “we” is referring to. The camera cuts to signs that reads “We love Chuck”, “We’re glad you’re home”, and “We’re proud of you” with a soft song featuring a woman’s voice plays in the background. The soldier is visibly overcome with joy. Following his warm welcome home, a parade takes place for the soldier. Him and his wife ride in a horse drawn carriage while hundreds of members of the community wave and cheer. The camera focuses on one woman in particular, jumping up and down and waving with one hand, while holding an American flag in the other. The soldier runs up to and embraces her, and the viewer can infer that she is his mother. “Every soldier deserves a hero’s’ welcome” then appears on the screen, and dissolves to Budweiser’s slogan with “#Salute a Hero” displayed underneath it.…

    “Need a moment? Grab a Twix!” We all know this famous line from every Twix candy bar commercial. The question “Need a moment?” as a general question can refer to a variety of things, ever realize though, that in every Twix commercial that the ‘needed moment’ is a moment for the men to find a cover story to save their ass? And how after ‘taking a moment’ to eat a Twix they come up with a believable excuse that every woman accepts without question. If you’ve never thought about that before you now are. One question that came to my mind when I found this similarity in commercials, which just might also be going through your minds as well, was why. Why would a company choose to advertise their product this way? The answer is simple; because it works. The commercials are using simple rhetoric to convince its audience to buy their product.…

    The Super Bowl is the main sporting and entertainment event of the year. Not only is it a program action packed with football, but, it is also a showcase for some of the most stellar television commercials produced annually. An advertisement in the Super Bowl costs several million dollars because the Super Bowl football game is often the most viewed television production globally. Therefore, companies work exceptionally hard to construct effective, passion-filled advertisements for this function. They aim to captivate the audience through rhetorical devices such as emotional appeals, humor, uniqueness, etc. As a result, these commercials are easy to analyze for rhetoric and production. Budweiser generated a commercial for the Super Bowl in…
