Rhetorical Situation In Pepsi

This SNL commercial was a satire because it showed the three qualities it takes to be a one. Those three qualities are talking about a serious social issue, it is interpretedin a humorous way, and it makes a point. What this satire is talking about is the Pepsi commercial that came out earlier this year. The Pepsi is about a protest that is going on in the streets, and people of all races are apart of this protest. Then, Kendall Jenner comes noticed the protest and walked out of her photoshoot to participate in it. At the end, the protesters and police men face off and Kendall saves the day by giving one of the police men a Pepsi and everyday cheerings. This commercial was very offensive to most protesters. The satire reenact the commercial

When it comes to disputes on executive sales, companies prefer to keep the war on paper, but regardless, the battle can get quite intense. Ira C. Herbert is a representative for Coca-Cola while R.W. Seaver represents the Grove Press Company. Both employees send letters in order to dispute over the usage of the catch phrase “It’s the Real Thing.” Each representative addresses his reasoning behind why each respective company has the right to the use of the phrase. To persuade one another, the use of rhetorical strategies is apparent throughout each letter. Whereas, Mr. Seaver’s letter is straightforward and sarcastic, Ira C. Herbert’s response is more persuasive due to its use of evidence in justifying Coca Cola’s priority in the use of the slogan.

The intentional purpose of the Kendall Jenner Pepsi Ad is to increase their sales with a younger crowd. PepsiCo tried incorporating cultural and political views into their ad to influence the millennials to buy their product because the millennials are involved in and outspoken about the current political situation. If one could only watch this commercial once they would think that PepsiCo is trying to make something to the equivalency of Coca Cola’s Share a Coke with the World advertisement.

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

"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" this is an old phrase used to inspire hopefulness and an encouraging, positive can-do attitude in the wake of hardship or disaster. Lemons symbolize the inevitable sourness or difficulties in life, while lemonade is the sweet drink that is the product of the lemons. Often life offers trivial disappointments with almost no explanation and sometimes it seems almost impossible to break the misfortunate spell. However, for some people, each mishap in their lives leave them not only perplexed but eager to see the glass half full rather than empty. Beyoncé is a prime example of making the best out of a bitter situation. On April 23, 2016, Beyonce released her groundbreaking fully visual album “Lemonade”. Lemonade debuted as number one album on the billboard charts and allowed Beyoncé to have the biggest first-week sales count. Nevertheless, with greatness comes a few flaws and “Lemonade” was no stranger to faults. To some, “Lemonade” was the cultural awakening that they needed but for many it was the conversation starter that would strike both emotionally and politically which is why it is such a powerful album but an even more important conversational piece.

Coca-Cola has been around for 125 years with the same logo, taste, and design. Making it one of the most recognizable brands in the world. Coca-Cola’s “Mean Joe Greene” commercial was an iconic Super Bowl XIV commercial in 1980. In this commercial, their goal was to persuade the audience that a bottle of coke can bring happiness and a smile. By choosing a notorious football icon, Mean Joe Greene, to play the mean guy was a great choice. Mean Joe Greene is a hall of fame defensive end football player from the 1970’s. He was known for his temper and cruelty on the field. Thus, the name Mean Joe Greene. He was an excellent football player which is why people loved and still love him till this day. By using all three rhetorical concepts, logos (appealing to reasoning), pathos (appealing to emotion), and ethos (appealing to credibility), Coke creates a motto that persuades its audience to “Have a Coke and a Smile”.

To what mode of persuasion does this author appeal -- logos, ethos, or pathos? Logos and ethos because it discusses the benefits and purpose of coffee while connecting to the potential buyers because it's good for workers, pregnant women and specific ethic.

Although the critically acclaimed album titled Lemonade received positive feedback for the way its visuals captured the struggles of black Americans, specifically black women, there is one song off the album that obviously emphasizes the adversities they are facing. In the beginning of the first verse of Freedom (featuring Kendrick Lamar), she uses the imagery of storm to reference her struggle towards being free. This is a reoccurring theme throughout the song, she continues to use words that are synonymous to disaster and generally negative.

American’s most savored beverage is beer. It’s one of the top consumed drinks and can be drank for different occasions. Budweiser, one of the most top selling beer companies puts out their commercials to advertise their beers. While their commercials are used to produce sales, what most don’t see is the message they associate when drinking a Budweiser. These commercials often use rhetoric to persuade us. Rhetorical devices are used to be the most effective way to persuade and audience into thinking. Pathos, ethos, and logos are used to make a powerful statement to be successful in their beer sales.

The media and design in the ad helps The Coca Cola Company take on the deeper parts of a person to get to its purpose. They do this by creating an image with the aforementioned pictures collaged together to focus the attention of the

The intended purpose of the Kendall Jenner Pepsi Ad is for Pepsi to increase their sales with a younger crowd. PepsiCo tried incorporating cultural and political views into their ad to influence the Millennials to buy their product because the younger generation is involved and outspoken about the current political situation. If one would watch this commercial even once they would think that PepsiCo is trying to make this advertisement the equivalent of Coca Cola’s Share a Coke with the World advertisement.

PepsiCo Inc. is an American multinational corporation that manufactures, markets, and distributes grain-based snack foods, beverages, and other products. Of all the products sold by PepsiCo Inc., Pepsi is one of the most representative and well-known brands and therefore is selected for the analysis, (Bryson York Emily, 2012).

What if a drink could not only stop protests, but bring peace and harmony to those who drink it? Pepsi wanted to show the world that their product was said drink; however, a controversy broke out. During the Spring of 2017, a huge marketing blunder occurred when Pepsi released a commercial featuring Kendall Jenner. The commercial starts off with a model during a photo shoot, played by Kendall Jenner, who then walks outside while a peace protest goes on. She sees all of the people smiling and holding up signs saying “Peace” and “Love” when her attention goes to something else. At the protest, numerous police officers are on guard; ready to stop anyone who gets violent. In order to stop their intimidating presence, Jenner hands an officer a Pepsi soda (“Kendall Jenner…”). This one act single handedly brings everyone together in peace and harmony, but how does this advertisement cause controversy? The advertisement was released after multiple movements of the Black Lives Matter protest and riots. During these protests, many people got injured and some even killed while trying to stand up for what they believe in. The controversy deals with whether Pepsi intentionally made this commercial trying to use the serious movement to market their soda or if it was just a misinterpretation of an innocent advertisement. The advertisement can be seen trying to use the Black Lives Matter movement in order to sell their product, using the theme of protests and marches in a failed attempt to sell the drink. However, Pepsi refuses this and claims that the commercial had no intentions of using the movement to sell their product.

In this particular ad Pepsi recreated a scene of a protest, during a time in which the country was divided by the Black Lives Matter campaign. In Pepsi’s protest, people were smiling and laughing and the line of protest was very calm. When Kendall Jenner comes out of the crowd and hands the police officer a Pepsi, everything is immediately solved and everyone starts cheering. Viewers were impacted by this as they believed that Pepsi was trying to say that one can of soda could erase the tension and anger between protesters and police. In reality, the company told viewers, “Pepsi was trying to project a global message of unity, peace and understanding” (Smith). They want to inspire others to join together to create peace, just as Jenner did when she left her photoshoot to join the protest. Instead, the company sent a message that if a twenty-one-year-old model led the Black Lives Matter campaign with a can of Pepsi, everyone would get along. Activist DeRay McKesson told NBC News correspondent Gabe Gutierrez, "This ad trivializes the urgency of the issues and it diminishes the seriousness and the gravity of why we got into the street in the first place” (Smith). Viewers saw this ad as insensitive as it suggested that the Black Lives Matter protests were unimportant.
