Hey Kids!

I know it can be hard but try to remember when we were kids how much we all loved to wake up early on Saturday morning, sneak to the T.V., and watch our favorite cartoons. We loved to do this not only so that we could see our favorite characters go through troublesome dilemmas each episode, but also that we could see what was new on the market and try to convince our parents to spare a few dollars and buy it. This tactic has been used from years upon years and will likely continue occurring for the simple reason that it works. Businessmen in the marketing know that kids will see the latest and greatest thing and insist to their parent that they must have it. And with a little persistence and maybe a temper tantrum or two, they usually get it. Sometime commercials will appeal to not only the child, but also to parents because they can see the new toys that they are able to buy for their kids. Because there is always a constant demand for new toys, there will always be a entrepreneur trying to make money by creating a product, and market it in the way of commercialization. It is a never ending cycle which will always occur as long as there is T.V. because it is how they make their money.
It had been years since I had woken up early on a Saturday morning to watch the “early bird” cartoons so when we were told to pick a show I knew what it would be, HEY ARNOLD! HEY ARNOLD! is played on NICKELODEON in the morning each day of the week. HEY ARNOLD! is a cartoon about a group of young kids that live in the city and go to school together. A similar theme that many kids can relate to. I used to watch this show as a kid and I knew that they still played it on KICKELODEON so I woke up at the same time that I used to watch it, 7:00 a.m., although it was not on until 8 a.m. it was okay. I sat down from 8 o’clock until 9 and watch two episodes of the show. When I thought about what commercials I would see I had a pretty good idea. Sitting down and watching them proved my ideas correct.
Before I sat down to watch the show I made a list of types of commercials I thought would be on just to see if I would be right.

  • Pepsi and Heineken Commercials: Promoting American Devotion and Compassion

    930 Words  | 2 Pages

    Today’s commercials cloud the viewers’ brains with meaningless ritzy camera angles and beautiful models to divert viewers from the true meaning of the commercials. The advertisers just want consumers to spend all of their hard-earned money on their brand of products. The “Pepsi” and “Heineken” commercials are perfect examples of what Dave Barry is trying to point out in his essay, “Red, White and Beer.” He emphasizes that commercial advertisements need to make viewers think that by choosing their brands of products, viewers are helping out American society. As Rita Dove’s essay “Loose Ends” argues, people prefer this fantasy of television to the reality of their own lives. Because viewers prefer fantasy to reality, they become fixated on the fantasy, and according to Marie Winn in “Television Addiction,” this can ultimately lead to a serious addiction to television. But, one must admit that the clever tactics of the commercial advertisers are beyond compare. Who would have thought the half naked-blondes holding soda cans and American men refusing commitment would have caught viewers’ attention?

Most of all, I noticed that people were getting rid of acne as they used the product.

The show is about a handyman named Manny Garcia who goes on fixing adventures with his helpful talking tools, who make repairs and fix problems in a fictional small town of sheetrock hills. Each episode of Handy Manny lasted for 30 minutes, which was enough to keep my interested, as well as my little sister’s attention whom I also watched it with. Due to the show being on Disney Junior, the commercials are kept very short and to the point. The commercials are very appropriate, which talks about upcoming shows and what kids should look forward to.

    The first commercial I chose was the Tide commercial with Kelly Ripa. The commercial depicts a small dinner party occurring at Ms. Ripa’s house. A guest clumsily spills wine on her white table linen and Ms. Ripa jumps into action to clean it. Theatrically, she pulls the white table linen cover from under all the glasses on her table and none mysteriously break. She then proceeds to tell her guests to follow her enthusiastically with the linen in tow. An hour passes, and the viewer sees Ms. Ripa giving a detailed breakdown of the laundry detergent and how well it can clean garments. Shortly after, she exclaims that the group and herself should then clean the napkins and everyone looks at her funny. The second commercial I chose was the Old

    As a little girl I loved watching television shows on Saturday mornings. I’d get upset when a show would proceed to commercial. That is until I watched the shiny new toy being played with by the girl my age and of course the cool new one that came into the happy meal, then I’d forget. After seeing the appealing commercial I’d run to my mom and try to slickly mention it. “You know McDonalds has a new Monster’s Inc. toy in their happy meal. Isn’t that great? “Now I realize that back then I was targeted by big companies to beg my parents for things that I didn’t need or that wasn’t good for me in order to make money.
