Super bowl commercials over the last few years have been built up to be the sudo advertisement of the year. Companies will spend thousands for a 30 second time slot in this prime time show. They will spend careful time planning out their smashing new commercial just for this occasion.
I thought the interesting looking dog was hilarious. Audi in a way was using our need to nurture but not in the traditional sense. It wasn't like an "Aww this dog is so adorable I want an Audi becasue i can have an adorable dog too." It was more of an "Ugh that dog is so ugly I don't want a dog like that so I should get an Audi because they look so beautiful in that close up of the car."
It also uses the technique of wit and humor because whoever came up with that doberwawa thing is some smart cookie. I had no idea it was a car commercial until the end of the ad. Instead I focused on the funny doberwawa story.
Goodness that dog is so odd, it's reminding me of the technique Gestalt. The suspenseful music and the drooling and growling dog sounds gave me the chills.
ReplyDeleteAn obvious technique used in this ad is wit and humor. When I saw the ugly Doberwawa and heard the public's reactions to it, I couldn't help but laugh. Every year, my parents throw a Super Bowl party at our house. I'm not a huge football fan, so I usually just focus my attention on the commercials and the half-time show. Over the years, I've noticed that most of the commercials are either selling cars or food products, and nearly all of the car commercials are high-concept ads.
