The commercial then proceeds to show us his "less attractive" alter ego. His alter ego is depicted as unattractive, a failure, and socially awkward. The real Rob Lowe has DirecTV, but his alter ego has cable. After introducing these two…

viewed as the patriotic event in the United States. With half the population watching the game of the year, the high profile businesses do make use of the opportunity to broadcast ‘sought-after’ television commercials commonly known as the Super bowl ads.

Budweiser’s 2015 ‘Lost Dog’ Super Bowl Commercial Found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWeKtqWc2EA. The commercial took us through many vicissitudes. The reason I choose this commercial is that it is one of the few commercials that takes you through emotional difficulties.

The travesty of the dog running away takes the viewers heart and then brings them some joy when the dog is safely…
