Superbowl 50: Ad Analysis
One new Superbowl 50 commercial is already causing an uproar. Lil Wayne stars in this one minute commercial, where he is seen cooking up George Washington. TMZ shared why people are so upset about the new Lil Wayne commercial that as of right now will still end up airing on Superbowl Sunday. This ad is for Apartments.com and features Jeff Goldblum and a gospel choir singing Jeffersons theme Moving On Up.

— Lil Wayne WEEZY F (@LilTunechi) February 2, 2016 Lil Wayne ends up cooking for George Washington. Of course, Lil Wayne happens to be a black man and years ago George Washington did have slaves and so people are saying this commercial is low-key racist due to Washington's history as a slaver.

— Lil Wayne WEEZY F (@LilTunechi) November 21, 2015 The comments on this article go a bit crazy as some people start to talk about who will win the Super Bowl, while others are very offended by the commercial and think they should have used a more current George, such as George Foreman, to stand by Lil Wayne and make burgers. A lot of other people think that Lil Wayne's commercial is funny just like it was meant to be. It was meant to be funny by putting George and Weezy both in the article, but another George could have been a better choice.

EW actually shared about the commercial before people started going crazy calling Lil Wayne's commercial racist. They explained that this is for the #MovinOnUp campaign, which is simply meant to explain to people that more people are renting now instead of owning and that it is actually a great option. Goldman has been in their ads before, but Lil Wayne has not. This is the first time that Apartments.com has had a commercial for the Super Bowl, but this is not their first commercial by far. Lil Wayne probably got paid really well for this commercial and doesn't seem to have any problems at all with what he

    Doubts About Super Bowl Ad Effectiveness: Article Analysis

    “Massive Exposure, Minimal Impact: Doubts About Super Bowl Ad Effectiveness” is an article written by Greg Sterling. This article discusses the negative effects of Super Bowl Ads. The chance to have an advertisement spot during the Super Bowl is something that can be very beneficial for a company. This opportunity is also a very expensive one. According to the article, “Super Bowl advertisements grants major exposure globally” (Sterling 1). The article also addresses the “division between viewer entertainment, and buying patterns. There is a wide gap between the two. This is an example of the negative effects of Super Bowl Ads. Sterling also talks about a survey done by Genesis Media.

    Hegemonic Masculinity In Super Bowl Commercials

    Hegemonic masculinity is defined as the condition in which men are dominant and privileged, and this dominance and privilege is invisible. This means that men are in the dominant social position and women are in the subordinate social position. A good example of hegemonic masculinity would be found in Super Bowl Commercials. The article “Hegemonic Masculinity in Super Bowl Commercials” by David Mayeda analyzes the impact hegemonic masculinity has on society. According to Mayeda “football is a sport event, in which only men are allowed to participate, where violent collisions are celebrated, and where most of the audience is male. The article discusses how hegemonic masculinity was first developed by theorist Raewyn Connell. Connell used the…

In fact, they are the largest provider of insurance; almost doubling another popular insurance provider, Allstate. State Farm often runs commercials, spanning many channels on television.

    Superbowl Commercial

    The commercial starts out with a young boy in a tuxedo staring at himself when his mother comes in the room wearing a tan shirt, complimenting how good he looks. The boy rolls his eyes and shows a look of disapproval. The mother notices that her son is feeling upset, so she tells him to not feel bad, and that many students go to prom by themselves, but from the kitchen, his little sister who is coloring at the table replies, “no they don’t.” The mother fixes her son’s black bowtie as he makes his way towards the front door. As he grabs the door handle, his father comes from the other room and calls for his son. When the boy turned around, the father tossed him his car keys to a silver 2013 Audi S6. The boy catches them with one hand, and shows a look of shock. His father then tells him to have fun tonight with a nod of approval.…

    Informative Essay: Issues In Super Bowl Advertising

    Nonetheless the company with the best commercial is rewarded with a 1 million dollar prize which I imagine is a bit intriguing. Truthfully the NFL has plenty of candidates to choose from that will essentially cause some companies’ ads to be rejected. Gun and ammunition company Daniel Defense was a victim of this but for another reason which applied to the NFL’s guidelines. In agreement with the NFL’s Advertising Policy for the 2013-2014 season commercials involving alcohol, gambling, prescription drugs and firearms are restricted. Daniel Defense’s argument on the other hand is that their ad does not show any firearms and that its purpose is to emphasize the importance of protecting your family. Despite the fact that the commercial technically does not violate the NFL’s requests it could still be considered offensive to some viewers, especially the younger crowd. In the commercial the guy referred to a gun as “the best tool for the job”. From the NFL’s prospective they probably thought that the ad was too aggressive and went with 1 of the many other…

    The commercial starts out showing several sports stars, Dwayne Wade and Kevin Garnett, playing a game of one on one basketball. The comical twist here is that only their faced is used and it is imposed onto a little kid's body probably about six or seven years old, giving the look of a caricature. The voices of the kids are what they would sound…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Microsoft's 'Empowering'

    During a game in 2006 he blocked a punt which allowed the Saints to win their home game which was considered a symbol for recovery for the team because of the recent damage caused by hurricane Katrina. He has made a lasting impact on the lives of many including his fans, team, family, and countless others because of his phenomenal career and constant perseverance. Unfortunately Steve Gleason revealed that he had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in 2011. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as ALS, is a terminal debilitating disease that impacts the nervous system weakening and prohibiting typical physical function. However Gleason does not allow this disease to control how he lives his life. He has lead a life that inspires others; he refuses to stop looking for a cure, views everyday, every minute, as a gift, and he treats it as such. It was said that (enter quote from fault in our stars) disease defines you and that is who you are, but this is not the case with Gleason.

    Superbowl and culture

    Imagine 96.9 million people watching the same thing, ingesting copious amounts of food and beer, and cheering maliciously for a squad that may or may not be their team of choice. I grew up in South Africa where the Super bowl is not nearly as big as it is in the United States. I was naive to the idea of watching any big game besides the World Cup. When I moved to the US I did not know what the Super bowl was. 198 countries watch the Super bowl and it is aired in 25 different languages across the world. I can’t help but think to myself that this is just a game and I don’t really care who wins, even though my surrounding suggested otherwise. I am sitting in a room full of diehard Seahawks fans. All of the furniture has been moved to each wall in the little room so that everyone can see the big flat screen TV. Beers are cracked, chip bags are opened, and we are about to watch the most watched TV program in United States history, the Super Bowl. Bronco’s fans are turned away and the guys roar at them as they try to enter the small apartment. “If you are not supporting the Seahawks you can stand up and get the hell out” one of my friends yelled as non-supporters walked away. Bud Light is the beer of choice in the room and Doritos are the chip of choice. As the game is about to start the room ignites and everyone is immediately fired up. The commercials play through the loud chatter in the apartment and they seem to be unimportant except for a few that are considered memorable. The Super Bowl is a spectacle and there is nothing else like it. The Super Bowl is a large reflection of American culture. Through media, commercials, and the atmosphere that this game creates, patriotism and masculinity are unintentionally the main aspects of this spectacle.…

    Rhetorical Strategy Commercial Essay

    Commercials are not always just informative, some convey a message so strong it leaves you thinking about it when it’s over. Most people could care less about watching commercials and would consider them a waste of time, but an opposite handful comes to find them interesting and useful. Many commercials target certain audiences, having the ability to draw the viewers in closer and closer wishing that it were never over. The Guinness Basketball Commercial of 2013 was a top-viewed ad around the nation for it is something that you do not see everyday. When watching this commercial rhetorically, you see things that many normal viewers would not and how well directed this piece of work really is. The Guinness Basketball Commercial exemplifies the aspects of Pathos and Ethos, delivering a inspirational message nationwide through the use of dedication, loyalty, and friendship.…

    Super Bowl Commercial Analysis

    Unlike the “Like a Girl” commercial, Super bowl commercials reflect the sexuality of women. Super Bowl commercials can be described as the funniest, and most entertaining commercials of the year. However when looking into them they poke fun of women’s sexuality in various ways. The Doritos Super Bowl commercial presents the idea that the only way to get a man to pay attention to you is to offer your body as a prize (Doritos Super Bowl). The whole concept is that a Super Bowl commercial emphasizes the idea in which is supposed to be funny. This further questions medias purpose in society. Media is forcing the knowledge on society that women are used as props to draw viewer’s attention to the screen. It emphasizes that Women are just toys to play with when they are there, but if they were not there it would not be a problem.…

    Super Bowl Argument Analysis

    There were numerous of insanely and outlandish commercials during the Super Bowl of 2015. Most of the commercials would have to advertise sex, kids, animals, or randomness in order to appeal audience. Then there are ads like the Dodge commercials. It sends a message that needs to be sent - respect wisdom. Social media can be cruel and demeaning especially to elderly people. The Dodge commercial that aired during the 2015 Super Bowl started off pretty pleasant, but that took a major turn quickly! While the elderly featured in the clip were giving a valuable advice to the audience, they then become a little aggressive. For their Super Bowl XLIX commercial, Dodge decided to recruit some pretty awesome centenarians to drop some wisdom on all of our collective heads. Why? Because Dodge is 100 years old too.…
