I can tell you from experience that hunting makes you hungry. Very hungry! I attribute this hunger to two things. The first is that hunting usually requires a lot of walking, sometimes more than 10 miles a day, while carrying a gun that gets heavier as the day goes on, or you may have to drag a heavy animal a long way. The second is that you are spending all day thinking about the meat that you are going for, and what you will do with it, so you get kind of hungry thinking about it. This is where the Arby’s advertisement comes into play. The Arby’s ad brings a hunter’s hunger down to his basic desire for meat, and preys on his natural instincts. The advertisement uses simple techniques to grab the attention of its audience. The ad is a close up picture of a rusty old orange sign on an old fence post. The orang sign has …show more content…

The advertisement says, “THE ONLY THING THAT SHOULD GET BETWEEN A HUNTER AND HIS MEAT IS BREAD.” This is written in a font like what you would commonly find on signs that mark public hunting land, which makes it recognizable to just about any hunter. All of the text, with the exception of the Arby’s logo, is capitalized, which is how text usually appears on these signs. Most of the text is relatively small, but there are some words that stand out that really grab your attention. These words are A HUNTER and MEAT, which makes sense in this ad because all hunters like meat. It is almost like this ad is screaming these words at you, which helps to pound these words into your head and influence your decision on what you will eat. This is true whether we admit we are influenced by the ad or not because, as Kilbourne says in his essay, “In spite of the fact that we are surrounded by more advertising than ever before. Most of us still ridicule the idea that we might be personally influenced by it.”

In the ad, the burger is magnified to the point where fine details are made obvious and flavors can be hypothesized. Fowles describes images of such to be “primary and primitive” and emotionally appealing, which attempts to find its way into the minds of viewers (Fowles 76). The burgers position is placed in such a way to where it becomes the primary object that captures the consumer’s attention and interest. Also, in the ad there is a contrast of colors that help bring depth to the burger, such as the black background, to make it appear as if it’s easily attainable to the consumer. The contrasts of ingredients in the burger (bright green lettuce, bright red tomatoes, and orange burger buns) help make the burger stand out, especially when placed over a dark background.

The final rhetorical device they use at the very end of their commercials is logos. They finally show the burger in question with the text and it's price; the message is finally revealed. Along with the three rhetorical strategies evident in the Padma, BBQ's Best Pair, and Upton Carl's Jr. commercials, the audience ultimately ends up buying more than they bargained for in the form of gender role, class system, sexual-orentation,

This advertisement is an excellent example of a good advertainment using very few information to express a lot. First, the imagery in this advertisement is very creative. Most this advertainment is covered in black; not only it forced the audience to focus on the three images in the center, but also represented the view through a telescope. From another point of view, the blackness could represent the darkness of the night sky, the darkness of our universe, waiting for the consumer of their telescope to explore.
