8 comments:

  1. This group advertised Old Spice well. It appealed to pathos through humor and appealed to people that may have been in a similar bullying situation. They however could have used more rhetorical appeals. Overall, this group did a great job! :)

    1. The group did a fairly good job in advertising the product Old Spice.
    2. The group appealed to pathos by making the claim that Old Spice will increase your strength and make you appear stronger. Additionally, the humor used in their ad provided another form of pathos.
    3. The only criticism I have is that they should have utilized more rhetorical appeals and clearly defined why their product is better than others.
    4. All in all the ad was very entertaining.

  8. 1. I think the product was advertised well in this commercial.
    2. The group appealed to pathos because people want to be stronger, more powerful, and able to protect themselves against bullies at school/work. Buying Old Spice is the way to accomplish all these things.
    3. I suggest using more rhetorical devices and making it clearer what you're advertising at the start of the commercial.
    4. The commercial was very funny and did an overall nice job of advertising the product.
