Rhetorical Analysis Of Budweiser's Commercial: 'Lost Dog'

The appeal logos, is probably the rhetorical strategy that lacks the most in this commercial. There are only a couple instances in the commercial that I believe Budweiser was trying to use logos to persuade the audience. Throughout the advertisement the producers of the commercial try to create an image of friendship between the horse, dog, and the man (the owner). They also portray the qualities of trustworthiness and pride through the golden retriever. By portraying these qualities through the dog, they furthermore reflect those qualities in the company, Budweiser. Since they used a dog as their spokesperson, they had to get the audience to appeal to the puppy in order to understand the message presented by the company. When the commercial

The second way in which this commercial uses pathos is through its use of families. Family is supposed to be people that you love and care about that want the best for you. They are supposed to be supportive and influence you to do positive things. To many people, family is the most important thing to them. So, when advertisements use them they attack the audience’s emotions. There were multiple families in the advertisement. There were families involved in the accident as well as a family who witnessed the car accident. All of their lives were changed over a text. The families having to go through this causes strong emotion for the audience. According to a study done by Aaker, “In advertising, warmth

Television advertisements have been a part of pop culture for years, these quick minute long clips gain the popularity of its viewers through humor, shock, or simply good salesmanship. The ShamWow infomercial has become one the most well known television ads in America. Its popularity came from its snappy dialogue, believable offer, and enthusiastic spokesman. But what made this infomercial so successful? Today I will be analyzing how the ineffective use of the appeals of ethos and kairos, and the highly effective appeal of logos and pathos effect the audience in the ShamWow commercial.

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.

In this rhetorical analysis, the value of uniqueness and the use of flavors are expressed in an ad by Dr. Pepper, a well-known and popular company. These values are found within the appeals of logos, pathos, and ethos.It also states the history of how this soft drink was created, the creator, and the year it was created. Logos is expressed when the brand states that it contains 23 flavors and also includes an image of a bottle with the number 23 as well with other phrases. Pathos is used in the ad when the company states that no other drink has these flavors, which means the drink is unique, targeting the audience and persuading them to be special and different. Lastly, ethos is used by us knowing the history behind the 23

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.

television advertisement companies, main intention is to captivate the audience in other to purchase their product that they are portraying. In this essay, I will be analyzing these two ads, “Whale” (Old Spice) and “Susan Glenn” (Axe). These ads are formulated to get their products noticed, along with sparking the interest of the other goods they may offer. Countless methods are used to convince the audience that’s being targeted to buy the product. Therefore, these ads are similar in its ability to gain the attention of their audiences by appealing to pathos. Through this essay I will analyze the rhetorical effects that help bring these commercials to life.

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

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

Ethos, the appeal to credibility. There are many examples of ethos in this ad; one of them would be the use of doctors in the advertisement. During the commercial, the audience sees the doctors conducting research,

This Super Bowl Budweiser commercial showed a pup being brought to a Puppy Adoption farm, which is next door to a horse stable. However, the puppy goes over to the horse stable and make a friendship with one of the horses. First, the pup keeps getting loose and always end up over in the horse stable, and the owner of the pup goes and pick him up and take him back to the adoption farm. Now, as the pup grows, he still visits the horses and by this time the horse handler is taking him back to the adoption farm. In conclusion, the horse accept the pup friendship, and now the puppy are being adopted and about leave with his owner; as the pup cries out the window the horse runs out the stable jumps the gate and stops the car with the pup in it, with

The Star Wars commercial is Ethos because Darth Vader uses his position as lord to convince people in going to the darkside. THe SPCA Rescue The Animals commercial uses Pathos because it's using your emotions to persuade you into helping the animals by spending money to the company.

The iconic messages in the advertisement are also at work to achieve the cross-promotional result. The non-coded Budweiser logo works in conjunction with the tag line "We All Make a Difference" as discussed above, to promote the brand of beer. What is more interesting however, is the use of the band's image as a coded message. Each of the five band members are looking directly at the reader, with serious expressions on their faces, presenting a sense of importance in the

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.

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
