  3. 1. I think this commercial was presented in such a funny and intelligent way.

    3. To improve the commercial, they could use more appeals or examples of how Orbit gum is beneficial.

  4. 1. The commerical was funny and advertised the product well.
    2. The commerical appealed to pathos because no one wants bad breath and Orbit Gum gets rid of that problem. It also appeals to ethos beacuse Dr. Mattes is a credible source and people trust him when he says Orbit gum is a good product.
    3. I think the commerical should be a little bit longer and should include more persuasive devices.
    4. The commerical was comical and the message to buy Orbit got across well.

  5. 1. The product was advertised effectively.
    2. Logos is used when a doctor is approving of the product at the beginning of the advertisement.
    3. More illustrations as to why Orbit gum is better than any other gum out there in the market could have been added.
    4. The advertisement was very unique.

  6. 1. The commerical comical and well advertised.
    2. The commerical appeals to ethos because they used Dr. Mattes as a credible source for the product. It also appeals to pathos because no one wants to have bad breath.
    3. I think the commerical should include why Orbit and not another type of gum because each brand of gum, one way or the other, uses "bad breath" as the fear into buying their product.
    4. Overall, the commerical was cute and funny, and i liked the Romeo and Juliet kind of reference.

  7. 1) The commercial was clever and advertised the product effectively.
    2)The allusion to Romeo and Juliet enforced the downsides of bad breath and how it can break up the most iconic couple in literary history. If they had used Orbit gum, that never would have happened.
    3)The audio was a bit hard to hear, so maybe fix that.
    4)Very clever commercial.

  8. 1. This commercial used a variety of appeals in order to effectively advertise Orbit gum.
    2. The ad appealed to logos by using statistics to tell the audience that 4 out of 5 people have "terrible smelling breath." The use of Dr. Mattes as the source of this information is an appeal to ethos because he is considered a credible source. The allusion to Romeo and Juliet also makes the audience think of this classic love relationship and how tragic it would be if it were ruined by foul smelling breath if it weren't for their product.
    3. I think Romeo and Juliet should have kissed at the end to show a full and happy ending. Of course, to appeal to pathos for the audience.
    4. The use of the classic Orbit slogan to apply to Romeo and Juliet was very creative.

  9. 1. The commercial was very effective in advertising Orbit gun.
    2. The ad appealed to ethos and logos by having "Dr. Mattes" deliver statistics from a credible source. It also appealed to pathos because no one wants to have bad breath. The allusion to Romeo and Juliet as the ideal relationship being broken up because of bad breath emphasized the importance of good breath.
    3. They could have said why Orbit is better than any other gum.
    4. I liked how Ariel used the classic Orbit slogan at the end.

    2. The group used the allusion of Romeo and Juliet very well in its advertisement to further the appeal of Orbit Gum. Additionally they use ethos and the credibility of Dr. Mattes to give their product leverage in its benefits for users.
    3. At times it was difficult to hear voices because of the music.
    4. The allusion was very creative and a great way to advertise the product.

  18. 1. This commercial did exceedingly well on advertising this product.
    2. There was a strong indication of appeals to pathos because Dr. Mattes, a credible source, helped to support the effectiveness of Orbit gum. There was also a reference to the famous play, Romeo and Juliet, which showed that despite beauty, bad breath will even stop someone from loving the other person.
    3. Some improvements could've been lowering down the music just a slight bit and providing more information about Orbit gum.
    4. I thought that Juliet's statement was hysterical and and the advertisement was very clever.

  19. 1. I think this commercial worked well in advertising this product.
    2. It used ethos because it was doctor recommended and used pathos because the proposal appealed to the viewers emotions.
    3. I recommend making the beginning of the proposal louder because it was hard to hear.
    4. I thought the video was very entertaining and creative.
