Snl Commercial Satire

Decent Essays
The SNL commercial is a satire due to it exploring a serious issue in a humerous way to make a point. They don't make it offensive in any way. I find the commercial hilarious. There are many problems with protests nowadays and the Pepsi commercial depicts horrifying gruesome experience into a delicate pleasant one. The commercial shows the creator pitching in the idea to different people and all of them saying how stupid the idea is. This of course brings the humor into the picture. Me personally I also think to myself what was going on through everybody's head who was on the making of this. Why do they put a white beautiful woman solving the protest? Why does everybody in the shoot look like models off of American Eagle? This all contributes

    This commercial contains a lot of logos due to the responsibility the main character possesses. The main character in the commercial has the image of an “American Hero” since he doesn’t drink and drive and always returns home to his loved ones. He also is shown as a responsible adult since he always returns the puppy to his rightful place after it escapes. Since the commercial has this view on the main character, the viewers idealize this man because he drinks Budweiser but also makes smart decisions as a responsible adult. With the dog in the picture, it also shows the audience a whole different type of responsibility.…

    Satire In The Simpsons

    • 707 Words

    In today’s society we are introduced to many problems that are always put to the side and is never taken care of because people are so in denial and don’t want to face the truth. In the simpsons intro the writer uses satire( the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues) to explore the flaws of society through his made up fictional characters. Some issues that I have come to a realization are the fact that parents in this century are not paying enough attention to their children and holding them fully responsible for their own actions. In other words children are doing whatever they please with no care whatsoever in the world because they know that there is no consequences for their actions. This also causes these children and teens to misbehave in class which leads to a distraction that takes away learning from kids whom parents actually send them to school to learn.…

    I chose to examine a Bud Light Super Bowl commercial that was aired in 2011. When I started the assignment I thought that there was not much more than met the eye when it came to the meaning of the commercial. Once again I thought that I was going to struggle to get to the required page length. I used what we talked about in class like the rhetorical situation and audience to examine the commercial instead of just watching it without a purpose. Looking at the advertisement through this different lens, I could see how everything that Bud Light did in the commercial from product placement to the setting of the ad all was done for a specific purpose.…

    The ad I chose to analyze is the controversial Coca-Cola “America the Beautiful” ad. It was aired during the 2014 Super Bowl. It caused plenty of controversy due to the nature of the ad, which features many different people singing “America the Beautiful” in their native languages. Many believed that that was taboo, since “Americans” and “America” are founded under the language “English.” This is not true, but many were furious that the song was “tainted”, with being sung in a different language.…

    There is nothing more refreshing than drinking an ice-cold can of Pepsi on a hot and sizzling summer day. For over a hundred years, people have been drinking Pepsi.
