    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.…

    Of all the 2016 Super Bowl commercials, the commercial I have concluded the most effective is the Hyundai commercial with Kevin Hart. However, effective is a subjective word in this case, but the criteria used in my perspective of it is that the commercial created a connection with the viewer, was able to be memorable, and set itself apart as more than “just a product”. Through a mix of storytelling, playfulness, and outrageous acts; Hyundai was able to achieve and surpass those criteria. The first thing that many people, from peers to big companies, pointed out about the Hyundai commercial was Kevin Hart. Hart is an extremely recognizable star for his hilarious comedy and his playful personality.…
