In fact, Einav Rabinovitch-Fox argues in her article “Baby, You Can Drive My Car: Advertising Women’s Freedom in 1920s America” that car companies in the 1920s used women as a symbol for something other than seduction and their heightened femininity.

Advertisements almost always have at least one of these three components, and Super Bowl commercials specifically are renowned for their entertaining use of these strategies. Of the many Super Bowl commercials, two stood out to me for their in-depth use of all three of these rhetorical strategies.
