  1. The "Planters Perfume" commercial does a great job with using sex appeal, affiliation, humor and dominance to grasp the audience.

  2. I really liked the advertisement for Dove: Onslaught. It had good music which flowed with the commercial. It also used sex appeal mixed with the need for guidance to pull people away from the social norm.

    1. It also separated their product from others giving them the spot light. It is smart in a lot of different ways.

  6. I loved the physics car commercial...I think its so fascinating how everything eventually worked out for them. I also love the little darth Vader ad. He is so cute. And in awe that he finally got something to work using the force.

    1. I agree, the Honda: Physics ad was fascinating. I like the irony of it also, in how a Rube Goldberg machine doesn't usually work the first few hundred times, and then the ending line of "Isn't it nice when things just work?"

    This is the remake of the "Mean Joe Green Coca-Cola" Ad, for the laundry detergent Downy.

  8. The Honda Physics add was very interesting. The interaction between all of the different parts kept me very intrigued. It definitely used the curiosity appeal very well.

  9. The Honda physics ad was super cool but I think that it would have probably not worked as well for Honda getting people to buy their cars as it would have enticed the viewers to look up other cool examples of physics experiments.

  12. Planters Peanuts: Perfume has alot of humor and sex appeal going on. It made me laugh when the guy gets ran over by the truck and gets up like nothing.

  13. The bunny's actually drew me away, because it was so different. It was like watching a car crash.

  18. I love the Got Milk: Arron Burr commercial. Maybe it's because I love milk but I feel that way when I eat a peanut butter sandwich without milk.
