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

    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…

    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.…

    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…

    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…
