Superbowl Advertisements Analysis

Improved Essays
This year’s Superbowl commercial ads were very socially spoken, from beer products supporting immigration rights to car commercials promoting their eco safe car. The one commercial that stood out to me the most was the Audi #DriveProgress ad. The commercial starts with little girl competing in her hometown’s downhill race car derby. As the scene plays out, we hear her father’s voice asking provocative questions. We see her defending all the boys in the race, while the background orchestra gets louder, her father asks, “ What do I tell my daughter? That her grandpa is worth more than her grandma? That her dad is worth more than her mom? Do I tell her despite her education, her drive, her skills, her intelligence, she won’t automatically be valued as less than by every man she meets? …show more content…
Or maybe I’ll be able to tell her something different.” The commercial ends with a cut to a black screen and text on the screen appears that say, “Audi America is committed to equal pay for equal

    My favorite Superbowl commercial, was the Prius commercial. Mainly because it reminds me of one of my favorite movies, The Blues Brothers. My favorite part especially was at the end when all the cop cars were really close together, and the car put on the breaks automatically, then they just swerved their way through the cop cars because the cops were sleeping. Also, I know it had to do with three very illegal things, robbing a bank, stealing a car, and running from a police chase, but oh well. If anything that commercial will inspire people to get a Prius than it would to rob a bank.…

    This year the the super bowl commercials I thought were very unique and different than previous years. For example, in the past years most commercials were very American oriented with a lot of classic american images being broadcasted. This year commercials ranged from being very American to unique and different. In a very broad sense, the target audience was 25-35 year old men and families throughout America. The commercials were a lot for beer, insurance, skittles and food/drinks which are all messages for a that specific group of people watching the superbowl.…

    When a phone company puts out an advertisement, their main goal is to promote a message to prevent such tragic events from occurring in society. There are many advertisements trying to grab the audience’s attention to make a difference. In this advertisement, AT&T, uses a real life situation to show the audience how risky it is to use your phone while driving. Since AT&T is a major phone seller, they take advantage of that to reduce the number of accidents in a majority of people to make sure that the products that they sell aren’t a major cause in deaths. I believe that this advertisement is very effective, because not only does it provide a message to the audience, but it may save many lives as well.…
