Netflix Watch


I saw a commercial on Youtube. The commercial is about The Netflix Watch. It started with a watch with a big screen. The watch looks like a big iPhone. The narrator was saying, “Have you ever wonder what total freedom looks like? Meet the Netflix Watch” and I started to wonder what the commercial was trying to persuade me to do. There are two guys who are wearing the Netflix Watch shaking hands with each other. Also, they both look satisfied with their Netflix Watch. The narrator was saying, “Which mean you maybe tap into watch where ever you were.” The narrator emphasized the sentence “where ever you were” and it shows a guy who is watching a TV show on his Netflix Watch in his car. He is captivated by the TV show so, he just stopped on the road.

There are two ladies who are hugging with each other and one lady is watching a TV show on her wrist while she was hugging. In addition, there are two guys who are running at a park while one girl is watching a TV show on her Netflix watch. The guy is chasing after her to watch it with her. The narrator was saying, “The Netflix watch customized for your preferences and all your day activity because life is too short to waste precious time. Not watching Netflix.” At the end of the commercial, the narrator saying “Will you watch Netflix?” As you can see, the commercial is appealing to emotion and trying to convince the viewers by creating an emotional response.

This commercial used various convenient situations to convince the viewers. Also, it shows how different between Netflix and cable television. After I watched this commercial, I wanted to buy the Netflix Watch because no matter where I am, I can watch any kind of TV shows on my wrist. However, I also respect dissent opinion on this. Recently, many people have their own smartphone. I think buying the Netflix Watch can be a waste of money because we can watch TV show anytime and anywhere. Accordingly, people can think the Netflix Watch is not worthy to buy. If this commercial was not for April Fool’s day, then I would buy the Netflix Watch.

    It's an interesting concept, but I know that there would be multiple people willing to buy the Netflix Watch just because of how are society is today. I'm willing to bet that there are people that wish the commercial wasn't just an April Fool's day joke.

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 ...

Marilyn Monroe's Shampoo

While browsing on Google I found an old advertisement.  The ad was for Lustre-Crème Shampoo. It featured Marilyn Monroe, known for her beauteous looks and her parts in different movies. One of her movies was Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Lustre-Crème was attempting to sell their shampoo through the use of fallacies. By saying that Marilyn Monroe that tells you nothing about the actual product: it simply attracts you to the pretty face in the picture. Using this as an argument of why someone should buy your product is quite illogical. Just because Marilyn Monroe uses it doesn’t provide assurance of its abilities. They attempt using snob appeal by trying to make the audience believe that they could be like Marilyn Monroe if they use the same product as her. They use appeal to illegitimate authority by using Marilyn Monroe to promote their product. Although she herself is a customer, this is still rather irrelevant. She herself has no type of expertise in hair products and knows nothing t...

Is Hip Hop a Cancer or a Cure?

The speech I watched was a Ted Talk presented by one of my favorite music artists, who just so happens to be a Christian rapper.  This rapper’s name is Lecrae Moore, but he just goes by Lecrae.  Over the past five years or so, Lecrae has been able to break out of the small box that Christian music and Christian rap have been put in, and he has been able to get his music out to all types of crowds.  So I was actually pretty excited when I saw that he had spoken at a Ted Talk in Nashville.  The speech he delivered was titled, “Heroes and Villains: Is Hip-Hop a Cancer or a Cure?”  In this speech Lecrae talked about how it is easy to look at certain people in history and label them as heroes or villains, but he talks about how not everyone views historical figures the same.  Lecrae started off by defining where we get the words, “Hero” and “Villain”.  Knowing the origin of these words really gave good context for what came to follow.  He then went o...
