The Tricksters Strike Again

Techniques

Keep yo' hands off my Doritos! In the Doritos commercial they use emotional appeal. They use emotional appeal to get you to buy or agree with something. This Doritos commercial uses emotional appeal to make you laugh and get you to buy their product. Emotional appeal is meant to touch your emotions and get to buy things that in reality, you don't need! In the next commercial they use name-calling. Name-calling is exactly what it sounds like! In this commercial its a battle of the phones. They make the iPhone seem over rated, and they make fun of the size of the galaxy.

My Thoughts

In my opinion I think this Doritos commercial will make money. I think this because it uses emotional appeal to make you laugh and everyone loves to laugh! However, I think the Nokia Lumia commercial will not make a lot of money because they don't talk about their phone. They are to busy making fun of other over rated phone brands. In the Doritos commercial, I think their targeting teens. I think this because everyone loves an after-school snack. In the Nokia Lumia commercial I think they are targeting thirty through fifty year olds because it has a great camera and you can use it for a child's special event.

 

 

I think I would buy the product shown in the Doritos commercial. I would want to buy it because the commercial used my emotions as a way to persuade me to buy some and that's what people fall for. I don't think I would buy the phone because it doesn't talk about the phones features besides the camera what so ever. Overall I liked both of these commercials. I liked the Doritos commercial because it was humorous. I also liked the Nokia Lumia commercial for its hurtful, but true statements!
