Commercial Analysis - Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7p_3lITiK_Q


For my speech, I picked a super bowl commercial by Budweiser. I picked this commercial, because looking at the rhetoric triangle, the purpose of this commercial is too play on the feelings of the audience. They use a dog who gets loose and sneaks into a barn and befriends a horse. The owner of the barn finds the dog and takes him back to his owner; only for him to escape the next day and do the same thing. He tries for several days trying to get back to the horse, but eventually they take the dog, put him in a car, and drive away. The horse becomes sad and jumps the fence along with other horses, the driver looks in his rear view mirror seeing the horses running after him, and then looks forward to find horses waiting in front of him. The driver stops the car, and lets the dog leave with the horses. Th dog and the horses are then seen running back to the barn, where the owner of the barn picks him up and keeps him. The commercial then ends with the horse and the dog playing in the yard, and Budweiser's logo pops up "#Best Buds… Drink Responsibly." The commercial uses pathos to play on the sadness of the dog and the horse from being separated, and then at the end they connect that to Budweiser. They want you to know that Budweiser brings you closer, gives you new friends, and then those friends eventually become your #BestBuds.
