Nervous but also excited about discovering who I truly was and what brotherhood really meant I found myself becoming the best of friends with these guys for 7 days.

The comedy that is throughout the Kia Niro’s advertisement is an appeal to pathos. Laughter is said to be medicine for the soul, and the commercial uses this well to their advantage. Kia uses Melissa McCarthy attempting to save the whales. Then she is trying to stop the deforestation. She is then seen protecting the ice caps.
