Advertisement Analysis: Avos in Space (Avocados From Mexico) For this linguistics analysis, I have chosen an ad from 2016 for Avocados From Mexico titled “Avos in Space.” The premise of the ad is that aliens have taken some of Earth’s most notable objects, and used them in a museum of sorts.

They end their night (morning) at Taco Bell eating tacos and looking partied out. The hilarious commercial was directed by Noam Murro, who directed movies and previous year's Super bowl commercials.
