Are You Hungry?


This Advertisement is of the Snickers. Snickers in 1930, listed in the United States. After 75 years, it grew into the world's largest chocolate family and is the main brand of energy based chocolate. It contains grilled peanuts and caramel, wrapped in milk chocolate.

In the beginning of advertisement is a soccer match. The goalkeeper is a girl, and she missing the ball. At this time, her teammate gives her a Snickers chocolate, says, "Eat it," and asks her now how does she feel. The girl becomes a strong man and says, "I am good." At the end, the commercial shows a big chocolate and narration which sas, "Are you hungry? Are you hungry? Eat it! Eat it!"

Snickers since the time of the creation as a "movement", "energy", "sweep hunger". In its brand and product communications, the company is closely related to this positioning. Today, Snickers has become the "movement", "energy" synonymous.

    I agree that the girl changing into a strong man will convince the audience that snickers is good. This also suggests by eating snickers it will improve your performance.

    Nice, Leonard! From this ad, it would seem like Snickers really can improve someone's performance and make them a better person. However, it does not seem to convey a good ethos or logos, which can hurt its argument. Overall, it was a good post.

Open Happiness

While at the movie theaters to see The Maze Runner , I saw a commercial that featured rhetoric. The commercial begins with a young woman named Jess purchasing two Coca Cola drinks in a convenience store. One has her own name on it, and one has the name of her friend Alisha on it. The cashier watches her forlornly as she leaves, hinting that he has a crush on his customer. Jess gives the Coke with Alisha’s name on it to her friend, and together the two friends drink them. Later, Jess, Alisha and two other friends come back into the store to buy more Coke, then leave and have a good time together. Jess keeps coming back to the store with more and more friends, each time purchasing Coca Cola with their names printed on the labels. The cashier smiles and watches, but it is clear that he wishes he was with Jess.  Finally, as the cashier is closing the store for the night, Jess shows up at the door with a Coke that has the name Chris on it. She smiles and hands the drink to the ...

Wiener Stampede

In this Heinz condiments commercial, aired during the Super Bowl this past year, a group of dachshunds are shown in hot dog costumes running towards humans in Heinz ketchup and mustard costumes who end up catching the dogs as they leap into the humans’ arms and lick their faces. This commercial is a specific appeal to pathos as the dogs are dressed up and are meant to be cute. The phrase at the end of the commercial is “it’s hard to resist great taste” and this is stated while the dogs are licking the humans implying that the dogs like Heinz and that humans should buy it as well because the cute dogs in costumes did.

You're Not You When You're Hungry

During a Super Bowl commercial in 2010, Snickers aired their commercial featuring Betty White, a 5-time Emmy nominee. She is portrayed as a football player playing with other middle aged grown men, but she is not herself. They are playing on a mud-covered field so they are all wet and dirty. They start playing and the ball is thrown to her, but she is tackled and thrown into a pile of mud. She gets up and walks back to the huddle all angry, covered in mud, and with a limp. One of the guys criticizes her for her poor performance and she chirps back with a sarcastic response. Then one of her friends brings over a snickers bar and says, “Eat a Snickers.” Immediately after this Betty White turns back into a middle aged man and is able to play football again. Snickers ends the commercial with, “You’re not you when you’re hungry.” In my opinion this commercial uses Ethos. Betty White is a 5 time Emmy nominee and one of the all-time best female actresses. She is a lovable 95 year-old lad...
