A Rhetorical Analysis Of Truth's Anti-Smoking Campaign

119 Words1 Page

My favorite ad is #CATmageddon by the organization, Truth. This commercial started running in the beginning of the year and used video of current internet cat memes such as, Keyboard Cat, Roomba Shark Cat and Pirate Cat along with facts and slogans to address Truth 's anti-smoking campaign, "Smoking Kills pets too". The video first presented the fact that cats are twice as likely to get cancer if their owner smokes. This demonstrates the use of rhetoric logos to convince the audience with logical reasoning. In addition, the video also uses pathos, the love and enjoyment people get from watching cat video. However, pathos is also applied to the heartbreaking reality of loss when, "smoking= no cats= no cat videos".

    330 Words  | 2 Pages

    I think the clip about Ronald Reagan is the most effective. It showcases what Reagan has achieved as President. Rather than making promises about what he will do or attacking the other candidate the ad simply talks about how the country has improved with him leading it. No, none of the ads really crossed any lines so to speak but the “Daisy” one did come pretty close by basically saying if you voted for Goldwater then the world will die in nuclear fire, however it was a different time. As for negative ads, they can, if not executed correctly cause a backlash that can hurt the other candidate.

  • Analysis Of Lynx-Dumb Animals

    Lynx – Dumb Animals (1983), personally, got my attention, because with a powerful message on its slogan, shames whoever wears furs for confectionary ends; the message was ‘’It takes up to 40 dumb animals to make a fur coat, but only one to wear it.’’ What is very interesting about this ad is that it is not particularly targeting women that wear furs; it is targeting other people to put pressure on those who wear them. Moreover, the ad uses a very controversial image of a woman dragging a coat leaving traces of blood behind; which was used to draw attention to the suffering of the animals. Benetton – Unhate (2011) , was also a controversial and successful campaign from Fabrica and 72andSunny, that featured world leaders such as: Obama, the
