The Super Bowl is one of America's favorite times of they year. Who doesn't want to watch the best two teams in the NFL verse each other to see who's champion? That's great and all but what is really special about the Super Bowl? The Super Bowl commercials is what I think pulls it off. A Super Bowl commercial is when major companies spend a lot of money for funny commercials that everyone will remember.There were a few good ones this year but by far, my favorite was the hotline bling commercial. So in the Hotling Bling commercial, you would have to hear the song to get the joke T-Mobile is making. In the song, Drake says "it can only mean one thing", they were implying that other phone companies charge you extra money on the down low. They
A commercial designed by the duo Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal was published in April 2009. The commercial featured a furniture store located in North Carolina called The Red House. Following the first week of its publication the commercial became a sensation, drawing in viral recognition from million of people due to its satire and comical way of conveying the intended message.
Budweiser Clydesdales commercials are always one of the most recognized commercials during a super Bowl. They have been aired every year starting on Super Bowl XX in 1986, because of this, many consider Budweiser ads as part of Super Bowl tradition. From the many, I chose the one aired on Super Bowl XLVII (2013), titled “Brotherhood”. Not only was this one of the top Budweiser commercial but it broke record over other commercials as one of the most shared Super Bowl Ad.

It is that time of year again! Super Bowl LI is just around the corner. The only exciting events are the commercials and half time performances.
Superbowl Commercials come from all company's, and they can have many different products to sell or points to prove. There has always been one commercial that caught my attention each year. Doritos usually has the great commercial that is funny and make the breaks in the game worth the time; however, last year it was Audi's commercial that caught my mind.
For instance, Sprint uses name calling and plain folks by saying that their prices are better than T-mobile and Verizon. They even offer the cut-your-bill-in-half deal, which shows people speaking of how much they have saved by switching to Sprint. Additionally, plain folks is also mainly used as a propaganda technique in this commercial. The commercial depicts regular people speak of how much money they have saved since they changed their plan to Sprint. At the end once the people are done speaking, they then throw their old phone bill behind them were there is a huge pile of old crumbled phone bills. Their intent is to tell other people that if they saved a large amount of money so can
The Nutrigrain Choices commercial begins with a woman getting off the subway and moves to her working in her office. The screen splits and two scenarios are set forward: one where she chose to eat a Nutrigrain bar on the left and the other where she chose a donut on the right. There is a voice-over about one decision leading to another. The woman on the left is shown eating a burrito, brownie, and pasta as the commercial continues. On the right, we see her choosing a salad, a cup of fruit, and vegetables. The woman on the right is seen walking up an escalator with a smile while her counterpart rides up with a wearied expression. The woman on the left walks away after drying her face, but the one on the right continues looking at her face with a smile. An image of wheat appears and shifts to picture of Nutrigrain’s strawberry cereal bar, as the audience is told the product is made with real fruit and whole grains.
I chose to review Lane Bryant’s “I’m no angel” commercial. It is a commercial for Cacique garments sold exclusively at Lane Bryant. The women in the commercial look like curvaceous, voluptuous, full-figured women of different ethnicities. The women are in bras and underwear stating that full-figured women are sexy. Advertisers used key words to promote their products. For example, the women in the commercial used words like “sexy” and “I’m no angel” several times. Advertisers also used close ups and movement to sell their products. They are targeting women because it is a brand for underwear, bras, and lingerie. However, they are specifically targeting full-figured women to rival the campaigns by Victoria Secret. The commercial is focused on
The Super Bowl is a big deal for many Americans, with merely 103 million viewers this year alone. It has become tradition for friends and families to gather for this nationally televised football game. While watching the football game may be entertaining, many people are focused mainly on the commercials. Major advertisers spend almost 5 million dollars for 30 seconds of television time. With money, these commercials also take a lot of time and effort, and advertisers have to be sure that they represent America and its people well. Sometimes they show the negative sides of Americans in order to provide entertainment. These commercials imply that Americans are unhealthy, ignorant, and unmotivated.
There are so many Super Bowl commercials in its history, and my favorite one is the Pepsi commercial Coke Guy Caught on Cam (Your Cheatin' Heart) in 1996. The commercial portrays a funny betrayal story that a Coke – Cola delivery guy was caught by the security camera since he is attempting to steal a can Pepsi from the refrigerator. Although he intends to hide his actions, the crushing cans from the shelves announces his cheating and makes him escape from the convince store. Simply, there are several reasons that I believe this is one of the greatest Super Bowl commercials.
The commercial worked so well because it blends old advertising and new advertising. The constant mentioning of clean clothes and Tide represents the quality of the product, which appeals to old school advertising. Yet the hip, ironic suggestions that every super bowl commercial is a “Tide” commercial dude to the clean clothes pleases the new school of advertising. This idea was intriguing from a viewers’ standpoint because it made the viewer associate most commercials with Tide for the night. The way the commercial was presented was what made the commercial work so well.
The Super Bowl commercial I want to talk about isn’t my favorite one in any sense. I do however think it is a great commercial in that it did excellently what all commercials aim to do. That is it got people to talk about it long after you have seen it. It is Nationwide’s “Make Safe Happen” commercial that aired during the two thousand and fifteen Super Bowl. This commercial got a lot of bad flak with people saying it was dark and depressing, this commercial however pulls at your heartstrings.
The amount of money spent on Super Bowl commercials never ceases to amaze me. What also astounds me even more is the lack of investment in making these advertisements clever. Several years ago Pepsi, Budweiser, and other big name products would incorporate imaginative ads to entice potential customers. Many people looked forward to the commercials more than the actual game—but after the last few years of mundane ads and big name products scaling back, the commercials are nothing to get jazzed over anymore. Cell phone and car advertisements seemed to dominate this year, leaving snack, beer, and soda commercials in the marketing dust. One cell phone ad (or I should say ads since there were three) that stands out the most to me are the T-Mobile
Have you ever wondered about your phone plan? Do you have enough coverage? Are you getting the most for your money? Well many network providers have put out commercials to advertise their network. Some might stick in your head because of a catchy song or because a celebrity endorsed it. If you have watched the 2013 AT&T commercial, Queen my Dishes Please, with the little boy telling his joke, its most likely that you remember it because of the joke. AT&T, like any other provider tries to get people to start with or switch over to their plans and that’s what this commercial is about.
The song’s title, which Drake sings in the song, is slang. “Hotline Bling” is slang for a person, likely an ex-lover, who would call late at night for love. By describing his cell phone as a “hotline,” he references phone hotlines. Notably, Drake uses “bling” to describe the appearances of his phone lighting up and ringing. Another practice of slang is in the line “Why you always touching road/” which contains Jamaican slang “touching road” often spoken on the streets of Toronto, Canada to convey going out. Also, the slang “bendin’ over backwards” and “getting’ nasty” which supposedly imply to have relations with a person are also present in the song. Language is a constantly developing entity, and this stage of our language articulated by our current society is yet another concept perfectly captured by Drake’s “Hotline Bling.” Such language would seem alien to anyone from a past century, but mainstream and widely understood by anyone in our
