Lost Dog Budweiser Commercial Analysis

For instance, the little girl never had to change the batteries once in the teddy bear she received from her dad, they were perceived to be long lasting. Also, the girl always trusted her dad that he did love her and even if she was upset and didn’t understand why her dad was gone for a long time, she brought the teddy bear everywhere, until finally, he came home. This parallelism was a big literary element in the commercial because it helped the audience clearly see the connection between the story and the

Budweiser is one of the best-known brands of beer in America. Their ads and commercials have always been known for being humorous and entertaining. Millions of people look forward to seeing the Super Bowl half-time commercials mostly because of Budweiser’s notorious commercials. Budweiser takes advantage of its reputation and makes commercials that are witty and fun for people to watch. They incorporate humor and a certain kind of sex appeal into their ads to sell their beer to men and send the message that there is nothing more pleasing in life than drinking Budweiser.

Most commercials that advertise products often throw them in the viewer’s face. Companies believe that their product is the best and people should buy it because of their many different reasons. Commercials normally share important information about the product; maybe how much it costs, the special features that make it so great, and how someone can get their hands on it. This one is different. The Chevrolet commercial “Maddie” creates positive attitudes and emotional connections to promote its product with a down to earth, heart touching story that audiences can relate to.

is also a great example of pathos. Having a happy song in the background brings more to the commercial as a hard core rock song would change the entire mood of the commercial. The ethos in the commercial is the happy family dressed up in all the bottles. Heinz was smart when it came to choosing who would be wearing the costumes. If they would’ve chosen bearded old guys it would have changed the outlook of the commercial, but thankfully they used a happy family which is their main target audience. Logos, meaning logic, is having the dogs running in the field in the mountains.

Budweiser is known for creating advertisements that convey messages that you wouldn’t otherwise tie with beer. In one of their more popular commercials “Lost Dog”, they attempt to show that your “buds” will always have your back, just as Budweiser will always be there for you. Budweiser managed to relate this life lesson to their notable company and a wide-range of viewers. In the “Lost Dog” commercial they successfully persuade viewers to buy their beer with the use of rhetorical appeals including ethos and pathos, while also lacking in the third appeal logos.

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.

Because the advertisement was aired five months after the September 11 incident, there were intense emotions among the American citizens. Budweiser was aware of this and created a commercial with strong emotional appeals. With pathos loaded, the advertisement seems to appeal to the viewer’s emotional senses. In the beginning, a character in the form of a man is fascinated by the horses. The image of the horses is reflected in the glasses of the windows. Business takes place in this area, but he takes a break from all the activities to watch the passing horses because of the awe factor that the Clydesdales stimulates. Thus, as an audience, I will resonate with the man by showing the same reaction. The behaviors of the man are expected to the audience how they should react as well. They are expected to stop every activity they were performing and understand the powerful message conveyed by the majestic creatures.

Commercials, such as the 2012 Chevy Silverado Super Bowl commercial, have become part of people’s everyday life, constantly shocking, exciting, and engaging people with the meaning behind them. People see commercials every time they turn on the TV and file the information away for later situations, such as information about a cell phone data plan or a new vehicle just announced available. Each commercial watched promotes some sort of cause, object, or idea that companies want to sell to the common person. Commercials use symbolism, imagination, ethics, logic, and emotion to sell these things using their promoting techniques, one strong example of these things in action being the 2012 Chevy Silverado Super Bowl commercial.

The commercial appeals to the audience’s pathos more than anything. Animals, especially dogs, have a way of pulling with human heartstrings. “...they can be used to transfer desired meanings to the products with which they are associated” (Phillips 1). In other words, using animals in advertisements can link advertised products to the feelings that are associated

Each year the SuperBowl commercials generate exceptionally high advertising revenues due to this event's ability to attract a very broad audience. Advertisers pay close attention to the demographics and psychographics of the viewers, looking for an opportunity to speak directly to their core demographic and psychographic segments with clear, compelling and emotionally stirring messages. The costs of producing and airing a SuperBowl commercial are so significant that many advertisers complete extensive tests of their concepts and multiple versions of their ads before choosing the best possible one for the expensive time slots purchased (Vranica, 2012).

But once that clock hits zero in the second quarter and we here the sweet sound of that buzzer. “We push our public water utility system, to its limits.” (Febreze Commercial 00:00:14) The 2017 Super Bowl commercial about the Febreze Halftime Bathroom Break, relates to every football fan with the fact that everyone has goes to the bathroom at halftime.

Advertising is a major factor in the promotion of a product and/ or a company and it provides a visual element for the customers to remember (Ferrell and Hartline, 2005, p. 182). The commercial that was first created, depicted everything the company stood for in a brief overview of the product and it was essential in marketing the product and company to new customers. In every commercial NBB creates, the marketing team needs to stay focused on how and why the company was created and try to reach as many customers as possible. The company needs to stay true to their roots and not get diverted away from the mission statement of the company because a down to earth approach is more appealing to customers. When a customer can identify and associate with the ad, it is more likely that the ad will help develop and strengthen the brand making it more appealing to customers (Cramphorn, 2014). Therefore, New Belgium Brewing needs to focus on employee commitment to their mission statement and creating advertisements that customers can identify with in order to makes its branding and messaging resonate with consumers in different parts of the

The Puppy Monkey Baby is a CGI character in an advertisement for Super Bowl 50, which was hosted on February 7, 2016. This character has received many reviews, reactions, and fandom in some cases. It begins with three friends sitting on a sofa watching television, but when one states that he is thinking about staying a strange creature emerges from the wall with a bucket filled with ice and mountain dew in one hand a baby rattle in the other. It awkwardly walks towards them chanting, “Puppy, Monkey, Baby”. The creature then jumps on the table and begins to dance as it chants.
