Ad Dissection Joe Kolley Chris Johnson
Ad 1 Dissection • Attention is drawn toward the glass with off-center placement and bright, contrasting colors, change of slogan used to seem fancier • Directed more towards an average adult that could recognize the imitation and would still buy Oreos • Creates a want to be fancier by imitating a drink that is served with a garnish, which is more typical of expensive or exotic drinks
Ad 1 Dissection • Intended to make Oreos look more desirable and classy • Fairly successful • Snob appeal, due to imitation and change of slogan • Nothing exceptionally unethical about the ad
Advertisement 2 • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-NaKb44xQ8
Ad 2 Dissection • Quick cuts based on the Bing vs. Google challenge process, real life footage designed to believe Bing won • Directed towards both Bing and Google users, mainly Google users • Shows a variety of people taking the challenge and presumably voting for Bing over Google, creates a want to conform because of this
Ad 2 Dissection • Designed to make Bing look like the more common choice among random people • Successful to a point, no real conclusive evidence is given, taken as an act of faith • Bandwagon appeal, weasel word claim, some statistical claim • Fairly unethical. No real statistics, confirmation bias, may not be random

Ad 3 Dissection • The commercial is designed to show off the main character of the game and what they can do, high contrast and epic situations used heighten viewer interest • Directed at 17+ year-old hardcore gamers • Creates a want to be as epic as the character in the commercial
Ad 3 Dissection • Successful • Glory appeal, uses the desire to achieve glory as a selling point, “use our product and this could be you” • Ethical, while advocating violence, it is all fantasy and isn’t intended to bring any form of harm to anyone
