700 Words3 Pages

In the advertisement, Puppy, Monkey, Baby, Mtn Dew takes a unique approach to appeal to their audience. The commercial begins with three guys mentioning how they would like to relax for that day, however, a hybrid animal appears out of nowhere. This unexpected appearance leads to a chain of events where eventually the three individuals follow the animal and drink the beverage it gives them. A few rhetorical techniques were used to draw the viewer’s attention, one of them being repetition. The repetition of the phrase “puppy, monkey, baby” for numerous times helped stick with the audience. Additionally, it emphasizes the uniqueness of the drink and allows the reader to remember the catchy song. Symbolism, being another technique, was also present in the commercial, the symbol being the hybrid animal. The hybrid animal represents a hybrid drink containing three things that should not associate with each other but end up working well together. Understanding that symbolism greatly emphasizes the importance of the drink’s concept. Finally, pathos was another rhetorical technique where the ad appealed to the silliness of the intended audience. …show more content…

The drink’s name is essential for customers to go outside and buy it, yet, in the ad the company hardly mentions the name of the drink.

I seem to absorb advertisements quicker than I can process them; they breeze past any cognitive thought or qualifications and set up shop as doctrines for my life. Moreover, some advertisements are denied with twisted logic, like using brand loyalty to make decisions. In an effort to gain better understanding of advertising’s art of persuasion, I have been studying the rhetorical appeals and attempting to identify them in my daily ad intake. They are: pathos, an appeal to emotions; logos, an appeal to logic and reasoning; ethos, an appeal to credibility; and Kairos, the timeliness of the appeal.
