This Budweiser commercial was aired in 2014 as a part of the company’s campaign to reduce drinking and driving. This commercial was about the importance of finding an alternative ride home or a place to stay for the night if you have been drinking. By finding an alternative ride home or a place to stay would prevent you from causing an accident on the way home. The producers of this commercial used the bond between a yellow lab and his owner to show the importance of getting home safely after you have been drinking. They were able to achieve this by starting the commercial when the owner brings the dog home for the first time and then showing clips of them together as the dog grows older up until the night that the owner decides to go off with …show more content…
To ensure that this commercial was about the effects of drinking and driving and not just the dog’s relationship with his owner, Budweiser incorporated text into their commercial. As the day shifted to night, the screen goes black and the phrase, “For some, the waiting never ended … But we can change that”, shows up on the dark screen as you hear the dog whining in the background. After about ten seconds of these two messages being on the screen, the music switches back to the original happy music and the owner returning the next day. The commercial ends with another black screen with the phrase, “Make a plan to make it home. Your friends are counting on …show more content…
Since this commercial was only a minute long they were able to use the same song throughout the commercial. They chose a song that represented the bond between the dog and his owner but the lyrics would have also worked if it were two humans instead of a human and a dog. The producers were probably very careful when selecting this music because they wanted it to transition into everyday life and have not just be applicable with the relationship between the dog and his owner. This is evident in one of the lyrics of this commercial, “A lifetime is not long enough to show you what you mean to me.” If you were only listening to the song, then you would unable to know that this was not about a couple who were falling in love but about a dog who does not want his owner to leave him behind. Using a song that would also apply to many different types of relationships was a smart choice because it will have the ability to gather an emotional response even if some people do not like dogs. This song selection was also a smart choice because it was not overpowering the message of the Budweiser commercial but rather it enhanced the message that people and pets are waiting for you to return home safely after
It is incredible how advertisements can lure an audience into trying out their products. Certain advertisements and commercials may seem simple, but at the same time, those are the ones that people remember and talk about. When people think about beer advertisements, they usually remember the ones like this one because it demonstrates things that people want. This advertisement shows how BudLight is interconnected with Paradise and makes people remember the picture. The luxurious aspect of this ad and the
This commercial presents a simple story, unlike a more common vehicle commercial that typically endorses the product by delivering facts and information. Chevrolet, nor anything about their vehicle, is verbally mentioned at all in this commercial. The idea of this commercial is obviously to advertise Chevrolet’s product, an Equinox in this case. However, the purpose is deeper than just to show off and market their vehicle. The clear purpose is to touch hearts through its warm story of a golden retriever named Maddie who has
The commercial doesn’t actually have a narrator, but instead the storyline is shown through the use of the golden retriever puppy. The use of a dog as the spokesperson for Budweiser evokes the idea of looking at the pup as “man’s best friend”. The dog’s objective throughout the ad is to find his way back home. This plot causes the viewers to get a sense of trust and loyalty from the “face” of the ad, the dog. Through “man’s best friend” Budweiser was able to make the viewers believe what they were watching. Also, the history of Budweiser’s beer from 1876 helps build trust in the audience.
For this essay I will be using the commercial made by Budweiser for the 2015 Super Bowl, “Lost Dog.” This advertisement is about a tiny lost puppy getting far away from home and most importantly, the friendship between this puppy and some Clydesdale horses. In the beginning of this commercial, the puppy is shown hiding under some hay, and then he proceeds to jump into a random trailer which initially gets him lost far from home. There is no dialogue in this commercial aside from the music in the background, but the advertisement shows the distress of the owner through facial expressions and scenes where he puts
In February 2015, Budweiser released a commercial named “Lost Dog.” Unlike many other commercials, “Lost Dog” tells a story of an incredible friendship between two different animals. This friendship successfully catches the audience’s attention and captures their hearts. The commercial effectively persuades the audience to purchase their beer through the use of pathos, logos, and ethos. Although Budweiser uses the fallacy of non-sequitur, the commercial still works in their favor to prove their point. Through the use of different rhetorical strategies, Budweiser’s commercial was able to triumphantly make their audience feel several emotions in just one minute.
The color gives a fun an youthful appeal. The heading is a supposed quote from the pup stating, “I enjoy licking faces. And toilets’ -Koji.” This ad also has a slightly medical appeal as it has the medical cross right at the top of the advertisement. This ad appeals to logos in the fact that it is promoting a product that boosts the immunity of your pet because “dogs will put their mouths on anything” and “every dog has his can” so this ad is saying that in order to protect your dog, pick this product, and that you can pin point which food to buy based on the buyer’s dog’s specific needs. This ad also appeals to pathos as it mentions that this food is going to not only be tasty for your dog but also have the healthy ingredients needed in order to protect them, letting the buys know they are making the right choice fro their animal by buying this product.
First, the subject of the commercial deduced after watching it is one, which cannot be ignored. Almost everyone was affected by the September 11 attack and paid attention to any opportunity that shows respect for the victims. Secondly, the audience only realized that it was an advertisement at the end of the commercial when the company logo is shown. But more influential is the use of rhetorical appeals.
The advertisement opens with a young man walking through his front door carrying a puppy and saying, “Welcome home buddy.” From there, we watch the two grow up together. They spend their days playing fetch, vacationing, barbecuing and even sleeping together. The two are inseparable until one night when the owner goes out with some friends to have a good time. The camera is focused on the case of beer one of the owner’s friends is holding, implying that the group will be drinking. What happens next is what affects the audience most, giving the commercial its strong pathos. The dog is seen staring out the window, waiting patiently for his best friend to return to him. The waiting continues all night long and Budweiser takes this opportunity to pause from the commercial and display the words, “For some, the waiting never ended. But we can change that.” When the words exit the screen the owner returns to his home, hugs his dog, and says, “Hey! I’m sorry. I decided I shouldn’t drive home last night. I stayed at Dave’s.” The darkness returns to the screen with the words “Make a plan to make it home. Your friends are counting on you.” Budweiser uses these screens to emphasize just how important it is to make it home, adding to its use of caring
Budweiser first released its “Lost Dog” commercial during Super Bowl XLIX (49). The advertisement centers itself around a small dog who, out of curiosity, enters a truck trailer without the knowledge of his owner. The dog then attempts to find its way back home but encounters an obstacle that it cannot overcome- a hungry wolf. When all hope seems lost, the dog’s best friends, the Budweiser trademarked Clydesdale horses, come to save him. The dog and horses all make it back home to their owner at the end of the advertisement.
That is for the “Incredibites” brand as well. The story of the ad is being implied that if you’re small dog eats the Beneful incredibites that it will be just as healthy and strong as the dog in the ad, and be able to do what he’s doing too. The advertisers construct the audience by using the little strong dog by pulling the wagon of the dog food it eats in it, and that’s what makes the dog capable to do so by eating the dog food.
This commercial tells us a remarkable story of love/bond between Labrador retriever puppy and a Clydesdale horse. First there were the majestic beautiful horses on a horse ranch, and then there was this adorable playful Labrador retriever puppy on a puppy adoption center, who daily escaped and made his way to the horse ranch to play and be friends with his favorite famous Budweiser Clydesdale horse. The horse trainer/caretaker religious picks up the puppy and hands him or
First of all, through the persuasive appeals, the advertisement shows the new mothers the importance of giving their child a companion that will grow old with them. Second, through the language and sound, the company targets their audiences on an emotional level by letting them know that they are devoted to their customers. Finally, in the appeal strategies, being youthful is one of the many ways that IAMS gets their customers to buy their products especially with this specific target audience. This advertisement has done a fantastic job of targeting their audience and persuading them into not only buying their product once, but buying it for their dog’s
In the beginning, love is shown through somber facial expressions as he is seen stapling lost dog signs around town. The love is further displayed in the stables while snuggling up next to a horse that evening and the music “I’m Gonna be” by Sleeping at Last. The lyrics “I know I'm gonna be” and “I'm gonna be the man who” are repeated throughout the song indicating the man is pushing to be the best he can be for those that he loves (Sleeping at Last). Love is further displayed at the end of the advertisement with further facial expressions, as the pup is running down the path coming home the actors face lights up and he appears to be in shock that the puppy is returning home. As the advertisement closes, the actor is sitting in the stable with the two things that are important in his life, his horses and his dog. To play on words, the advertisement closes with a #bestbuds, leading the viewer back to the brand, Budweiser, as well as the fallacy, a dog is a man’s best
The Ford Commercial showed different scenarios of people getting stuck in bad situations and they couldn't get help, until ford came by and rescued them. For example, there was a man with his car that was stuck in the snow and he was waving his hands at passing vehicles trying to get them to stop so they could help him out. Then when nobody came, the next scene with that man showed a Ford truck towing his car out of the snow. This commercial also had Narration throughout the whole video so it was would be easy to understand what was going
In the 2015 Budweiser’s “Lost Puppy” commercial, we immediately see a special bond between a dog, owner, and horse. The commercial starts off with the relationship between the horse and dog, and how they don’t want to be separated. Throughout the making of Budweiser commercials, Budweiser has created a strong connection with puppies. Budweiser has used the puppy to create a story line to create more than one advertisement. The commercial then gets to our emotions when the puppy goes missing after jumping into the back of a
