It appeals to both men and women. Near the end it is revealed that the person cleaning with the woman wasn’t an sexy Mr. Clean but was her husband the whole time.

    I think using the men biased game for a commercial for men was a very smart idea so it would be easier to grab their attention. With using pathos in most of the commercial, they also used ethos when the Von Miller was comparing the Old Spice Sport Spray to using a sander like tool in representation of ‘other sport sprays’. In this comparison, the appeal ethos established credibility by people not wanting to have uncomfortable and harsh underarms after using different sport sprays. As the rhetorical appeals are used in this advertisement, it came more of a persuasion of how people should come use the Old Spice Invisible Sport Spray instead of other sprays. At the end of the commercial, where the coach is determining whether he should let him go out and play after he has told his coach that he is delicate enough to have to use this sport spray, the humorous side of the commercial of all the stand fans in the background yelling, “Let him play!”…

    She comes to a conclusion that most of the ads for cleaning products are there to appeal to women. She states, “ According to 2008 study from these University of New Hampshire, only about 2 percent of commercials featuring men showed them doing domestic tasks.” She strengthens her argument by stating that the world as a whole looks as women as the cleaning lady. These few statistics that I’ve stated logically support her argument that men do not do their fair share of chores.…

This quote relates to the commercial because we see how excited a mother gets when her son has used the “potty” and it sparks a connection between viewer and actress on screen. Then when the mothers’ voice changes and becomes upset because of the spilling of urine, viewers can also connect with it because they know what it is like to have to clean up after children and how mothers become upset or angry when things like this happen. Now, it is safe to assume that everyone has their own method of cleaning. However, because of viewing this commercial, viewers are now persuaded to buy the Clorox Bleach because of the connection from one mother to the next.…
