Group members: Carlos, Andy, JJ, Joseph Commercial #1 Testimonial was the chosen fallacy for this commercial because of how the commercial shows Ali Landry (Miss usa of 1996) ate a smoky hot dorito. Because of this the fire alarm went off because of how smoky the dorito was making the room all smoky. I think the commercial used this fallacy because of Ali Landry being miss usa in 1996 showing that she was “smoking hot” and since the product is smoking hot doritos it all relates. Of course this was back then in 1996 and no one of this year knows who that is anymore because it was long ago. This in my opinion is a very effective commercial because of Ali Landry. Of course this wouldn't work now but back then when everyone knew her it all made sense as to why doritos decided to use her. It made the customers persuaded to buy doritos back then because of how she was miss usa and she was smoking hot. Commercial #2 …show more content…

In the commercial there was a pregnant woman getting an ultrasound check up for her baby. But to the right of the women there was (what we assume to be) her husband who was eating doritos during the ultrasound. Because of this the baby was shown in the ultra sound to be trying to grab the doritos and the husband was messing around with the baby moving the dorito around with his hand. The wife got mad and threw the dorito and the baby came out of the wife for the tasty dorito. This all shows emotional appeal because of how funny it was and I think it was an effective way to persuade customers to buy doritos because if a baby who never had a dorito in its life goes out of its way to come out of the women and eat the dorito then dang it must be a really good dorito. I think doritos used this fallacy to humor its audience but also persuade them with their comedy showing how tasty the dorito is making it a good blend of humor and

Some of the logical fallacies that I was looking for and identifying are very identifiable. The dog's ability to say “Yo quiero Taco Bell” is the most glaring, as it is impossible for a dog to pronounce words. Though they are able to understand tone and some specific words, they cannot fully comprehend language or even suddenly speak it. “Scientists have explored whether dogs can tell the difference between similar-sounding words, and they can’t quite make those distinctions,” provided by A-Z animals. This makes the logic in the commercial

Introduction “The term ‘misleading advertisements, is an unlawful action taken by an advertiser, producer, dealer or manufacturer of a specific good or service to erroneously promote their product. Misleading advertising targets to convince customers into buying a product through the conveyance of deceiving or misleading articulations and statements. Misleading advertising is regarded as illegal in the United States and many other countries because the customer is given the indisputable and natural right to be aware and know of what product or service they are buying. As an outcome of this privilege, the consumer base is honored ‘truth in labeling’, which is an exact and reasonable conveyance of essential data to a forthcoming customer.”
