Blog Assignment Week 8: Commercials

Ahhh....I love football game commercials, and football games.

Commercial One

1. Southwest Airlines

2. They show a young man at a dance club, and the dude is jamming out in order to impress his babe. He goes for the sure dance move that would truly impress her, the head and shoulder spin. On his first spin to the rear he kicks over the mixing table. The music stops and the girl has an unimpressed look on her face. A voice comes on and says, "Wanna get away?" Then the camera pans to a jet airliner flying serenely through the clouds.

3. The commercial wants me to purchase tickets from Southwest Airlines and fly away whenever anything doesn't go the way I plan.

4. No, the commercial does not work. While I find the fact that the idiot kicked over the mixing table entertaining, it doesn't effect whether or not I would fly Southwest. Besides, I can't afford airline tickets, if I could it would be cheap tickets through Expedia.com or another site like that.

Commercial Two

1. Pontiac automobiles

2. The commercial is in all black and white except for the Pontiac symbol on the vehicles and the tail lights. It shows the cars driving through a black and white city, with water around. At the end of the commercial it has some quotes like "Faster than a Porsche".....blah, blah, blah

3. Buy a Pontiac

4. No, I do not want to buy a Pontiac. In the first place I own a minivan, and you know what they say; once you go minivan you never go back. On top of that I about fell asleep during the commercial and that's hard to do in 30 seconds.

Commercial Three

1. The Olive Garden

2. The commercial shows extended family and friends sitting around laughing and having a wonderful time while consuming great quantities of delectable delights. They obviously enjoy their company and the food. There are such wonderful delights like; chicken tuscany, fetticine alfredo, and shrimp scampi. Then they show their recent specials, and they conclude with their infamous motto; You're family here.

3. They want me to go spend money and eat at the Olive Garden.

4. Like all the others; no the commercial didn't work for me. In the first place, I just polished off about a rack and a half of ribs. I wouldn't touch a plate of pasta right now. In the second place, I can make better pasta at home than the Olive Garden, on top of that if I were to go out for pasta I would find a better place than the Olive Garden, unless of course they could offer me the same great time all those beautiful and happy people were having.
