What Are Annoying Commercials

Decent Essays
My personal opinion is that even though these commercials are annoying, most of the message get across viewers. For example “after 911 call 411 pain” and so many others alike stick with you once you hear them over and over. It is my opinion that the effectiveness of these commercials depends on how well they are made. Some of them make anyone laugh and others make you get out of the chair and walk away. How well people take the message of an annoying commercial depends on the type of audience, culture and other characteristics that make a viewer unique. Before creating these type of commercial one need to identify what is the target audience. Knowing this factor can make the different if one wants the commercial to succeed.

    Advertisements are deceiving; cigarette companies use them to target consumers of different social statuses, race, and ages. The majority of the ads portray an image that makes the consumer believe that if they use their product they will look or be as happy as the person shown in the ad. Yet many ads do not show the side effect that their product can have or the effect it can cause on the consumers health. For example in my ad, it tries to convince young adults to buy Newport cigarettes. The ad targets young adults of all races, making them believe that if they smoke Newport cigarettes they will look as healthy, have a good time, and be cool around their friends and peers when in reality it is not true, therefore this ad is ineffective.…

    In the t.v. genre, commercials are created with the intended purpose of grabbing the audience’s attention and drawing focus to the product being advertised. Commercials can attract a person’s attention with a plethora of devices such as a catchy jingle, flashy pictures, and an upbeat intro with a memorable slogan ( i.e. “Shamwow!”). In Wells Fargo’s “Learning Sign Language” a lesbian couple is seen practicing sign-language, incorporating into their daily routines. The commercial wraps up with the couple being introduced to a young girl for the first time, and it turns out the young girl is being adopted by the women and she is deaf, validating why the moms-to-be were shown learning ASL.…

These commercials have become cultural touchstones, but the advertisements have one job and that is to convince a potential customer to buy or use a company’s product or service. The Weight Watchers advertisement is a perfect example of how effective advertisements can be in only a few short seconds.

The primary audience for this kind of ad are people who emotionally vulnerable and…

    Donna Woolfolk Cross, author of an article called Propaganda: How Not to Get Bamboozled, says “For good or evil, propaganda pervades our daily lives, helping to shape our attitudes on a thousand subjects.” No matter what the purpose is for an ad there is always some type of “tricky” language being used. Usually, this “tricky” language is being used in a way that would persuade an audience to do whatever the ad is wanting them to do. In a political ad the main purpose is usually to get the audience to believe what that political person believes and to do that they use different types of propaganda in order to sway the audience’s opinion. However, the same goes for product ads.…

    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.…
