Taco Bell's Quesalupa Cheese Commercial
“Cheese In The Shell, Oh My!”
Taco Bell's Quesalupa cheese in the shell, it's going to be than anything you have ever heard of. At least that what Taco Bell wants you to believe with its new product. With them not only airing it on SuperBowl Sunday, but using the appeal to the people and using famous faces, and all different age groups of people, I believe this commercial was effective in making a humor-based advertisement to draw in many hungry bellies.

The Taco Bell commercial is humor based and plays on the appeals of all age groups. It starts out with a few people in their twenties, with a young woman introducing the product by saying cheese in a shell, it's going to be bigger than man buns (men with their hair in buns.) After that, two young men with man buns say “This is going to be bigger than Tinder (dating site)” while the rock song Welcome to the jungle begins playing creating a somewhat anticipating feeling. Immediately after the young man says his line, he poses for a picture for

The first one I spotted right away, and that was the bandwagon appeal. The Advertisement makes you believe that everyone is going to like this product, because it's going to be so “big” when it comes out. Also, people of all types and age groups were eating this product including many famous people, which eventually goes into the faulty use of authority. By using Bryan Wilson the Texas Law Hawk, you can automatically tell he knows nothing of this product other than what his stomach feels about it. He is not an expert on whether or not this product will be bigger than drones. The same goes for Giorgio with James Harden's beard, and so on. The last fallacy I found was hasty generalization. Every person shown in the commercial just assumes the product will be bigger than all the examples, without any given explanation, thus, creating many hasty generalizations used throughout the entire

    Taco Bell uses humor as one of their many techniques to draw in the audience to the commercial. Humor is a good technique that most commercials use because it tends to make people happy and more interested. Taco bell did exactly this. After the old man sneaked out of the nursing home the commercial takes us to one of its first scenes. This scene shows the senior citizens stripping down, jumping into a pool, while laughing and having a good time. This scene is very humorous because how often do we see the people that we know as “Grandma and Grandpa” stripping down into their underwear for a late night swim.…

    The first of these is Non Sequitur, the fallacy of drawing a conclusion that does not follow from the evidence. This happens when the ad concludes that the teens in the studies got leaner only because they drank milk instead of sugary drinks. The second one is the Post-Hoc Fallacy, this assumes that because one event precedes another event, it is the cause of that event. This is evident when the ad states that after teens began to drink milk instead of sugary drinks, they began to be lean. Hence, drinking more milk makes you lean.…

    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.…

    This years Superbowl commercial I picked was the Mountain dew puppy monkey baby because it was catchy and kind of weird and that's why I remember it. In the beginning of the commercial it starts off with three guys who are sitting on a couch and want to go out. Until one of the guys say " I think I just want to chill tonight" and that is when a weird looking monkey comes out and keeps saying " Puppy monkey baby."…

    For example, television advertisement is telling our young and mature women they can be beautiful and near goddess like if they simply buy their company’s product. From what I’ve seen as long as I buy Covergirls™ latest wrinkle cream I’ll never age a day in my life and I’ll look remarkable similar to the model advertising it. Not only women are being effected by this “image” but men too. Another example of these false advertisements are the Axe Deodorant™ commercials that are constantly implying to men that as long as they buy this particular deodorant and use it they’ll have dozens of beautiful women crawling on them all at once. I can’t be certain…

    With their corky sense of humor and clever commercials, they are able to grasp the audience and connect with them through comedy. By creating a happy emotion while advertising the product simultaneously, marketers can create a commercial that will dwell in the memories of the audience for a longer period of time. Placing first place in the Super Bowl Admeter, Doritos commercial was undoubtedly successful in grasping attention. In the commercial, a young kid torments his younger brother and grandmother with a bag of Doritos, whilst dwelling in his playhouse some odd feet away and above. This tormenting then leads to the grandmother pulling back the younger brother(a baby), who is attached to his bungee, and catapults him towards the elder, resulting in a slow motion, high flying snatch of the bag. The older brother, shocked at what just occurred, can only stare at his grinning grandmother and triumphant baby brother holding a chip in the air as a trophy. The commercial was beautifully put together with funny expressions and relative background music. The clear cut motive was to show what people would do for a bag of Doritos, except in a comical fashion of course. The commercial was successful because it was perfectly suited for all age groups to enjoy. Doritos was expected to release great commercials to follow in their footsteps from the previous year. It’s safe to say that they exceeded those…

    The 2009-2010 Doritos advertising campaign was one of the most liked commercials during the Super Bowl. For this advertising campaign, I explored, explained, analyzed and critiqued the “House Rules” Doritos commercial. This 30-second commercial cost Frito-Lay approximately 3 million dollars to air during the Super Bowl. This campaign was very successful in increasing the sales of their product.…

    As Don Draper said in the popular AMC TV show Mad Men, “It’s Heinz. It only means one thing.” Draper was right. When you think of Heinz, do you not immediately think of ketchup? Unfortunately, Draper’s advertising pitch was turned down in this fictional TV show – but that didn’t stop the actual Heinz company from using his pitch idea 4 years later. The Heinz marketing team paired up with the TV show to use their creative, yet impactful ad as their newest way to draw in new consumers. The ad features a juicy, mouth-watering cheeseburger centered on a clean, white background. Across the top of the white background in bold, black letters are the words: “Pass the Heinz.” No product logo, plus the daring absence of their notorious ketchup bottle…

    Fallacies are defects that have the power to weaken an argument. Fallacious arguments are much more common than we may think, and they tend be persuasive to the casual listener or reader. Politicians, celebrities, and advertisement commercials constantly make use of them. As an example of a fallacy, I’m going to use the Hollywood celebrity Alec Baldwin in the commercial for Hulu.…

    It doesn’t matter how creative or original an ad is, advertisements inherently lack credibility. This can be attributed to the fact that advertising considered to be the self-serving voice of a company anxious to make a sale. Consumers don’t trust corporations and often reject ad messages. Then again, a brand that no one has heard of has no credibility either, “they can’t be any good if I’ve never heard of them,” is the attitude of many consumers upon being introduced to new, unfamiliar…

    As Good Reasons with Contemporary Arguments states, writers use logical fallacies to gain audience approval, but all the statements are false (Faigley). One type of logical fallacy is the appeal to pity fallacy. For this fallacy, the arguer appeals to the audience's emotional side to gain support on a claim that should be decided on more relevant or objective terms. Examples of this fallacy can be seen on commercials, campaigns, and various methods of advertising. The given examples reveal how advertisers and campaigners use irrelevant information to persuade Americans and people all around the world by evoking sympathy to gain funds and/or support for a certain cause.…

    Many commercials during the Super Bowl were geared toward the male consumer. For example, there were many automobile ads yet there were no ads for family oriented vehicles such as mini vans. The automobile ads were for pickup trucks and sports cars. This says that men are tough and rugged like trucks and they like fast sports cars. One ad for Chevy depicted an apocalypse with a Chevy truck driving through the aftermath. There was nothing but rubble, a crashed UFO, burning buildings and a tough Chevy truck comes driving through the ashes. The driver of this Chevy truck meets up with his…
