Message Appeal

Message Appeal

What are my favorite commercials..normally the funny ones. There are plenty of commercials that I like from the ones that are funny and seem almost pointless to the ones that are funny but still portray a message underneath. For instance the cigarette commercials. The ones that have people singing in the streets Broadway style. They are funny to watch and catchy to sing a long to but you remember the message no matter how hard you try to. "If you smoke you might lose your life, if you don't you might lose your life" Kind of harsh but it gets the message across through humor and it captures the minds of young and old people to realize the sincerity of the message.


Another commercial that I like is the new commercial with Lebron James and Nicole from the Pussy Cat Dolls. The commercial is selling Lebron's shoes by Nike. In the commercial he is romancing Nicole with his shoes. The commercial is absolutely hilarious. Basically the message is that girls can where his shoes too. Here is a link to the commercial..




Now I have never really had commercials that I just didn't like but I have had commercials that I didn't really understand the message. Like the skittles commercial with the old man that when he touches something it turns to skittles. I just felt as if that commercial made no sense and had no message. It's sort of humorous but has nothing to do with skittles and why you should buy skittles.
