Saturday Night Live Commercial Analysis

Now because heroin is illegal, this can lead heroin addicts to look for cheap and legal alternatives, called opioids. Opioids can be easily obtained by going to the doctor’s office and be given a doctor’s note stating you need the medicine to relieve the pain. In the Opioid crisis we see many white americans struggle with either heroin or opioids and many wonder why it tends to be more known in the suburban communities rather than the stereotypical urban communities. Some conclude that it was actually due to the distribution of drugs in the urban communities to few members of the suburban community. Others have theorized that white americans are creating the drugs themselves and yet playing along with the stereotype of blacks or mexicans

Sometimes the simplest acts can show the most love. In the Extra Gum Commercial: The Story of Juan and Sara, the high school sweethearts share a piece of gum with one another during some of the most important events in their lives. The Extra Gum commercial uses the song “Can’t Help Falling in Love” to add pathos due to the loving lyrics of the song that also tell the story. The varying scenes used enable the audience to relate to the story and add a deeper purpose to the meaning of the commercial. Gum is a the main component of the advertisement and throughout it is used as a symbol of love while the wrappers represent foreshadowing.

In the United States, we have a culture that accepts the use of some substances over others, regardless of the negative affects of the “acceptable” drugs. For instance, it is socially acceptable to drink alcohol, eat sugar, and, while no longer as in vogue, smoke cigarettes. From a public health standpoint, these substances are also dangerous and can have debilitating affects on both children and adults. What is more, while narcotics use during pregnancy can lead to NAS at birth, there has been no conclusive evidence of lasting negative effects across the lifespan (Goldensohn & Levy, 2014; Miller, 2015). However, the use of other substances, such as alcohol, can be devastating and carry much more risk, leading some reporters to believe that the law has more to do with the people using these substances than the substances themselves (Todd, 2014). In any case, the punishment of mothers who suffer from addiction when they should be receiving support and treatment is a large moral failing on the part of policymakers. Arguments around whether the woman should be held responsible for her addiction overlook possible systemic barriers that led to her substance use as well as the fact that drug addiction is a treatable illness (Todd, 2014). In creating and invoking this law, policymakers are essentially turning their backs on some of the most vulnerable people in our society, expectant mothers, and using their resulting arrests as evidence of corrupt principles, deserving of punishment and

There is an epidemic happening in the United States right now, and it is with the abuse of prescription drugs; Chris Rock has portrayed it in the best way,

This exact imagery I have presented to you is in an ad produced by The Partnership for a Drug-Free America (now called The Partnership for Drug-Free Kids) to raise awareness for meth labs and meth related criminal activity. With the image, accompanying text in the ad depicts the fact that drug use is not as obvious as it is in the satirical visual, and that communities should be aware of meth labs and how they might appear in real life. The

Arielle Duhaime-Ross (2015) concludes, “ [In today’s world] those who are most at-risk for heroin dependence are non-Hispanic whites, people between the ages of 18 and 25, Medicaid recipients, men, people who don 't have health insurance, and people who make less than $20,000 a year” (p.1). Though these are the typical stereotypes for heroin users, heroin addiction can affect any human being no matter their age, wealth, or gender. Straight-A students, millionaires, and people with no history of drug abuse ever before, are all potential candidates for drug addiction. Heroin does not care if your friends miss you being sober, or if your family loses sleep each night wondering where you are. People do not think that one time does anything detrimental, but it can and it will.

“Crack-babies” a media induced phenomena brought about by the climax of public outcry from the results of the 1980’s war on drugs. This term laid the foundation for biased prosecutions which sparked a political crusade during climate of the time. Thus exploiting the public’s fear of children born to substance addicted mother and creating a firestorm of litigation to prosecute pregnant drug addicts. According to Flavin, Paltrow (2010), current evidence points to public stigmas and prejudice as posing a greater danger to both maternal and fetal health than use of the drug itself. Leaving the question as to why addicted women are still publicly reviled for the outcomes of their circumstances. From this abhorrence stems the likelihood that

The television show Saturday Night Live is known for mocking presidents. In the 1970s Chevy Chase impersonated President Gerald Ford. More recently Alec Baldwin has been targeting President Donald Trump, during both his campaign and after the election. Earlier this year, Baldwin was seen poking fun at Trump’s lack of impulse control. Ironically, Trump tweeted during the show saying, “Just tried watching Saturday Night Live - unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can’t get any worse.” Political satirization is often present on Saturday Night Live especially involving President Trump. Baldwin portrays Trump as pugnacious and confused about the power he now possesses. Before his election, Trump’s campaign

The Light break commercial us straightforward in its development, according to different viewers it demonstrates the ladies as being sexualized, They are deciphering this advertisement in a wrong manner, all that is indicating is the all over body and light skimpy clothing of the lady. I may see the motivation behind why they viewers interpret this notice in that way. Two promotions that were as of late gotten various grievances were the barcadi champagne advertisement, which shows up in a various measure of spots for the most part being magazines. The other promotion being the makeshift route protein bar notice which is highlighted on announcements and magazines. Being to a great degree sexual and giving numerous sexual and sex generalizations

Ads are made to grab our attention and persuade us to buy or support a product. When it comes down to TV Shows and ads, it depends on what type of show it is. If the show is a supernatural show, the ad could be a very dark. If the show is a comedy, the ad would be very light. For example, an ad for the TV series Buffy The Vampire Slayer shows the titled character’s eyes staring at you and the tagline reads: BUFFY LIVES (whedon.org). Contrasting that, in an ad for the comedy series Cougar Town, the main characters are happy and drinking wine like they normally do on the show. The two separate ads clearly explains to the consumer that Buffy will go through a dark time on the show while on Cougar Town, they will be happy and carefree like they usually are. But one type of show, teen dramas, are going for the controversial route with their ads

During the 2016 Super Bowl, an advertisement titled “All American Girl” aired. The ad, sponsored by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, depicts a young white woman who represents the typical girl next door. It follows her life as she transforms from a cheerleader to a heroin addict. Her decline is accompanied by a gloomy song that describes how “she had a couple pills on a little dare” (NCADA, 2016). The ad culminates with a message that asks people to be vocal and share their stories about how heroin has harmed their lives, whether directly or indirectly. However, what the ad really shows is how the opioid epidemic is turning a segment of the population into noncontributing, repulsive citizens. On the other hand, when we

In my commercial I chose to do the Doritos ad. It takes place in the hospital with what looks like a married couple , that’s expecting a new baby. They are getting an ultrasound and to see how far away the baby is from coming. The husband is eating doritos and the wife doesn't seem to happy about it nor does the doctor. As he goes to eat the chip he notices that the baby in the ultrasound is following and “trying to grab it” and the wife seems to think he’s taking the whole baby thing as a joke and she smacks the dorito out of his hand. When she smacks the dorito out of his hand the baby seems to be mad and “jumps out of her stomach”. They all start screaming as they are all confused about what is happening.

Drugs have been consumed by humans over thousands of years; whether it was a Native American eating peyote for a spiritual experience, or a more modern day liberal smoking a joint to relax after a day at work. As more types off mass media began to emerge throughout the twentieth century, society was exposed to polarizing views on drug use. For the sake of this paper, I will be focusing on a comedy that gets most of its humor out of the various side effects of this widely debated drug. Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle is a film about two friends in their mid-20s who, at the beginning of the movie, don’t seem to be going anywhere with their lives. The two aren’t necessarily burnouts per say, but neither one of them are taking full advantage of their previous educations or the resources around them. After a particularly stressful day at work, the guys are watching television while smoking a new strain of marijuana that Kumar had gotten his hands on. As they were staring at the TV, getting high, a commercial for White Castle came on which had them drooling. Throughout the rest of the movie we watch as the two of them go on an adventure in search of the cheap sliders.
