I also noticed that as the years got closer to present day commercials started to turn away from the incident funny ads to completely sexual packed. I think that ads change over time to either shock or try to out do the competitors ads. I think that humor and cuteness work the best as ads. This is because I feel like I pay more attention to the commercials that are cute or funny compared to the sexually themed ads I do not get how half naked women have anything to do with anything if they are not trying to

    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”.

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.…

    Everywhere we go nowadays, advertisements are prevalent all over; making it difficult to depict an underlying meaning seeing as you are constantly surrounded by them. Whether you are out and about, or sitting at home watching TV, products are constantly being displayed that you “need to get.” Some gimmicks and sayings that are used to promote these services or items are completely ridiculous, or even offending.
