This advertisement goes through a day in the life of Peyton Manning and doesn’t mention once that this advertisement is for car insurance.…

    In the Mercedes Benz super bowl commercial, the devil is trying to get a man sell his soul for a car and “everything that goes along with it,” which in this case is a lavish, famous, and popular lifestyle that most people would dream of. Mercedes Benz uses these images to portray the life of a celebrity and persuade the audience into buying one of their cars.

That is the point of going through the emotions of the commercial because you will eventually make the connection that the point of the commercial is for the car to act as a “dog” in life. Another message that can be taken from this commercial is that Chevy is thinking about your life journey when the company is mass manufacturing their cars.…
