Bbq's Best Pair Ad Analysis

Improved Essays
In the Carl’s Jr. commercial, “BBQ’s Best Pair”, they advertise to men by showing women in a sexual nature and having an overall sexual theme. This is an effective and common way to advertise to men, but not the best way to reach men. There are other companies that use other strategies to target men as their main audience. There are many different ways to advertise to me, and some are more effective at targeting more men than others. Along with appealing to men, the Carl’s Jr advertisement also has a negative impact on women. Some of the other way strategies still target men without repulsing women. The best way to reach the most men is by blending the most possible strategies together and making an advertisement that attracts men using different …show more content…
Old Spice does this in their “your man could smell like this commercial.” This commercial appears to be directed toward, so that they will buy this product for their man. While it still does make women want to get this product so their man will be that masculine. This commercial also gets men to wonder what that smell is and if they need to smell like that to attract women. The Bushmaster rifle company also does this well in their “Consider your man card reissued” advertisement. They tie not having their product with having your “man card” revoked for not being manly enough. This will make man want to buy their product just so they can say that they are manly enough. Miller Light is another example in their “Man up” campaign. They use this advertisement to say that only confident manly men can drink their beer. They have a man walk up to a bar and ask for a light beer. When the bartender asks if he “wants more taste or less taste”, he responds with “it doesn’t matter”. The bartender comments on his scarf being feminine and gives him the non-Miller light beer. She is implying he is not man enough to drink the Miller Light. The Carl’s Jr. advertisement does not use this form of advertising and fails to attract men using this

    To begin with, it is essential to keep in mind the cultural literacy used in advertisements, movies, and images.

    In Dan Neil’s article “Company Town: Seduced by a Juicy Burger” published in the LA Times, he criticizes the fast food advertising industry in a sarcastic manner while wondering if the industry has gone too far. The article, written in 2009, is almost laughably outdated compared to today’s carnal advertisements. Today it seems unfeasible for companies not to objectify women in their commercials. This primitive approach fuels the fire in that women are nearly props more so than the product that they’re supposed to be selling.…

    In the Miller Lite “Man Up” commercial, I see there was an overlap between man’s man and man’s woman. At the beginning, the main male character came over to the bar and asked for a bottle of beer. He was good-looking, maybe he was a businessman, and had a nice muscle body. He told the bartender that he didn’t care the taste of beer. After that, the bartender, who was beautiful and attractive, gave him a Miller Lite beer and teased him about he was wearing a purse.…

    Too Hot For Tv Analysis

    • 5 Pages

    The Carl’s Jr. commercial Too Hot for TV gives a minor insight into one of the major controversies we face today. We have somehow taught ourselves that it is okay to objectify women, to sell products with sex, and to wrongly construe how men perceive women. Too Hot for TV is about a woman walking through an outdoor market, seemingly naked, while a series of men are caught off guard and stare as she nonchalantly walks by. There are a few parts that are made to be comical; for example, they place an apple in front of the camera where her butt would be, and we see a male’s hand reach out and pinch the apple as she turns around and acts surprised. Too Hot for TV is an excellent example of the polluted way in which we have begun utilizing women’s…
