One of my favorite commercials to watch is the Chick-Fil-A commercials. Their commercials are very ironic but at the same time interesting and entertaining. The main purpose of their commercial is to persuade an audience to go and buy their product or maybe convince an audience to come back again and buy more of their product. They are able to influence their audience through the use of rhetorical elements. Rhetorical elements include: the rhetor, discourse, audience, and rhetorical triangle. Their commercials don’t necessarily target one particular audience, they incorporate different ideas into their commercial to target different audiences such as families, and football fans. The Chick-Fil-A commercials never fail to entertain my family. …show more content…
In the Chick-Fil-A commercials, most of the time the cows write something similar to “eat mor chikin.” Their message are usually very short and bold. The reason behind their bad spelling is because Chick-Fil-A wants the audience to see that the cows are really just kids with a big imagination. Research shows that “Children are more creative and are natural inventors. Their worldview is incomplete and demands discovery. They prosper because they embrace their ignorance instead of ignoring it. And they are willing to explore, investigate and put their ideas to the test because they are willing to fail.” (Killing Creativity: Why Kids Draw Pictures of Monsters & Adults Don 't) The Chick-Fil-A company gives the cow this characteristic because it is important to the commercial, this characteristic is the reason why the commercials is so funny and entertaining to …show more content…
Logos is one of the three parts of the rhetorical triangle. In the Chick-Fil-A commercial the message that the cows are portraying is “Eat mor chikin” (cow campaign). The reason why the cow wants the audience to eat more chicken is because in their mind if people “eat more chicken, they will in turn not be eaten. (Meet the cows behind Chick-fil-A 's most successful campaign). The cows don’t necessarily show that they have emotions because they are supposed to be “fearless cows” (cow campaign) but if you connect the dots from my point about how it’s ironic to have a cow as the main character for a Chick-Fil-A commercial to the other point about the message “eat mor chikin” and to my last research point about why the cows want the audience to eat more chicken, then you would realize that they do have emotions. The literary term for emotion that appeals to the audience is called pathos. Pathos is the second part of the rhetorical
Persuasion is found all around us there is always someone trying to persuade you into doing something. For the Nabisco’s Oreo Commerical they are trying to persuade you to buy their cookies. To get their viewers to buy their product they use rhetorical principles. Within the Oreo commercial they use a question which do you like better, the cookie or the cream. The 2013 Super Bowl Oreo Commerical is effective for all ages of viewers.
I am analyzing a commercial put on by the Hawaii State Department of Health's statewide health promotion campaign. This commercial is titled Re-think your drink and shows why choosing water, 100% juice, and low fat/1% milk is a healthier choice in beverages. Drinking one can of soda or juice a day can make a person 10 pounds heavier a year! Rhetorical devices that I have found in this text are pathos and ethos. The purpose of this analysis is to determine whether this commercial is effective or persuasive. The re-think your drink commercial for the start living healthy campaign is both effective and persuasive. Its pathos affects my emotion because it compares the amount of sugar in soda to a cup of orange junk. The rhetorical devices in this text have made "re-thinking my drink" very effective. This commercial is important because people that drink soda or juice don't realize how much sugar and fat that one can contains. To see orange junk come out of a can besides drinkable liquid is not appetizing at all.
Advertisements are one of many things that Americans cannot get away from. Every American sees an average of 3,000 advertisements a day; whether it’s on the television, radio, while surfing the internet, or while driving around town. Advertisements try to get consumers to buy their products by getting their attention. Most advertisements don’t have anything to do with the product itself. Every company has a different way of getting the public’s attention, but every advertisement has the same goal - to sell the product. Every advertisement tries to appeal to the audience by using ethos, pathos, and logos, while also focusing on who their audience is and the purpose of the ad. An example of this is a Charmin commercial where there is a bear who gets excited when he gets to use the toilet paper because it is so soft.
Walking through the door of Mrs. Saxton’s room in the beginning of September is like walking into a sauna on the sun. Waves of unbearable heat roll through the room and despite the efforts by the numerous amounts of fans, nothing can cool the occupants. Children and Mrs. Saxton alike despise the palpable warmth. It was this universal knowledge and shared disgust of the environment that gave us our inspiration for our pop: Chill soda. As we went through early drafts and ideas for our product, we wanted to come up with something that everyone could relate to, and Mrs. Saxton’s hot, sticky classroom seemed like the common ground we were looking for. Our thought was to create a product that would relate to the kids’ struggles and remove these troubles from our consumers. Thus, the idea for Chill was born. The main form of rhetoric we used was ethos- the idea of common ground and relatability with our focus group. Despite the lack
Chick-fil-A’s marketing strategy is to build off their brand. In 1995 the logo of the cows with the “Eat Mor Chikin”, the cows became the face of the Chick-fil-A brand. The cows are really popular and do really well with customers. They're on billboards, posters, television and they even have their own merchandise. The company has done very well with marketing the cows. The cows are telling customers to “eat more chicken” instead of beef. Another marketing strategy that has set Chick-fil-A apart from other fast food restaurants is they don’t have promotions such as limited time
Each time I drive on the freeway and see the advertising billboard for the “Chik-Fil-A” Restaurant, I smile. The billboard features cows in trying to convince a public to eat more chicken in many different ways. The billboard gets my attention due to its comical, but cleaver simplicity. This ad is one of the series of this restaurant advertising campaign. Most American public easily recognizes this campaign. This particular ad of three cows are holding a protest poster with hand written message saying to “EAT MOR CHIKIN” is clearly a promotion for the well known “Chik-Fil A” restaurant serving mostly chicken meals.
Scalding steam bellows swiftly out from the smartly tiled shower; screeching echoes of the shower curtain escapes deafeningly as a moist, attractive African-American man begins to descend with a white, constricted towel across his waist. The man begins to shout at the audience that Old Spice’s products will transform them from a mediocre, poorly dressed man into a magnificently attractive, cool, and powerful fellow. At first glance, Old Spice commercials are innocently selling hygiene products to the average consumer, but the commercials have a subliminal message for the audience — they will become improved once they use Old Spice’s product.
Advertisements are all over the place. Whether they are on TV, radio, or in a magazine, there is no way that you can escape them. They all have their target audience who they have specifically designed the ad for. And of course they are selling their product. This is a multi billion dollar industry and the advertiser’s study all the ways that they can attract the person’s attention. One way that is used the most and is in some ways very controversial is use of sex to sell products. For me to analyze this advertisement I used the rhetorical triangle, as well as ethos, pathos, and logos.
It all starts with the phrase “your friends are counting on you.” Opening on a cute yellow Labrador retriever as a puppy, being carried home by his new owner. Immediately the audience notices the adorable puppy eyes and wet nose and people began falling for it. We follow it through its journey and adventure of every new little puppy and his owner, or best friend we should say. From the commercial we see the owner and puppy start to establish an unbreakable bond. We watch the owner take the puppy to the park, to the beach, around the house, anywhere and everywhere slowly becoming mans best friend. Slowly, we see the puppy start to grow bigger and bigger until he has matured into an adult dog. The man and the dog are now inseparable and the connection between them is unbreakable. Then we see the man leave for a night without the dogs company, and instead the company of 3 human friends and a case of
In “Advertising’s Fifteen Basic Appeals,” Jib Fowles a professor of communication at the University of Houston Clear Lake, states that the goal of advertising is “to tug at our psychological shirt sleeves and slow us down long enough for a word or two about whatever is being sold” (114), which implies that advertisements helps take the audience’s attention in order for the audience to notice the product being sold. The attention is taken psychologically through emotions which is called emotional appeals. It slows down the audience through emotional manipulations. Fowles states that there are fifteen basic emotional appeals that distinguish every ad. I will be analyzing a Cooking Light magazine, which provides healthy food recipes. I believe advertisement companies hired by Cooking Light targets women between the ages of 30 and 50 who have families they want to feed healthy. In Cooking Light, the emotional appeal used most often suggest that the audience has children and care a lot of small animals, and suggest that the magazine’s typical readers are seen as wanting to create bonding families.
Chick-Fil-A is a well-known fast food restaurant that serves chicken. It started out as a small business in a mall in Atlanta. It was founded on family ideals. Try to remember your last visit at a Chick Fil A, were the workers moody like most fast food chains or did they have a big smile and greet you warmly. You seldom ever hear anyone saying they have had a bad experience whenever it comes to Chick-Fil-A. The main reasons that people go to Chick Fil A is for the food, the atmosphere, and the employees.
In everyday life we are bombarded with advertisements, projects, and commercials from companies trying to sell their products. Many of these ads use rhetorical devices to “convey meaning [,] or persuade” their audiences (Purdue OWL) . Projects, such as the Dove Self-Esteem Project uses native advertising in their commercials, which refers to a brand or product being simultaneously and indirectly promoted. In this essay, I will analyze the rhetorical devices, such as ethos, pathos, logos, and kairos, as well as the fallacies corresponding to each device, that the Dove Company uses in their self-esteem project .
Trix cereal commercial uses an effective technique to get children’s attention. They are using a friendly familiar animal to catch the children’s attention but, they give the rabbit talking abilities. “Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids.” The company’s slogan is memorable and gets the viewers’ attention having the use of logos.
After researching and viewing several commercials and analyzing the persuasive techniques that were used, I found the McDonald’s Sweet Chili Sauce the commercial that tries to influence its target audience. This commercial is targeted at mainly general public, and athletes, but the general public is more crucial in this case. For instance, the commercial makes you generalize that the cause of it is very new, and is a limited time only, the audience have to be the first one to get it. The technique that was portrayed in the commercial is called avant-garde. The product McDonald’s used to influence the audience is the sweet chili sauce. Accordingly, McDonald’s paid and used athletes and Olympic stars to be in their commercial, so the audience
The commercial does not exactly use logos in a very effective way. In order for the commercial to have logos in it, it would have to have facts in the commercial, showing us that it is a given fact that “football is family”. I do not exactly know when this commercial was aired on television, or who were the two teams playing in the super bowl. Since the commercial doesn’t not give us facts or any kind of expert testimony that Football is family this commercial does not use logos in an effective way.
