Sure, I could simply just turn to an another channel, but what if all your other desired channels are on a commercial break, too(this happens way too often for me)?
Well in those cases, I just have to leave it on the same channel and brace through commercials.
I've noticed that in some of the commercials where they are trying to sell a product, the advertisers can get really obnoxiously loud.
Ads like the Billy Mays commercials usually focuses on one advertiser that explains what the product is for and how effective it is. They talk pretty loud and makes sure that they are ear-catching. Sure, by the end of the commercial, they are able to get their message across to the viewers. But what is so appealing about one person talking in a monotone voice by himself the whole time? And the need for it to be any more than 30 seconds long?
There are plenty of ways to get a message across and successfully advertise your product in a short, simple way.
I think that many commercials can be really loud and/or obnoxious. But advertisers are not stupid. That kind of advertising technique must work. The last thing advertisers want is to have angry people mad at their product. They just know that the obnoxiousness works. For example, it even worked in Mee-Kyung's response. Mee-Kyung talked about Billy Mays and although he may be annoying, it worked to get his commercial stuck in your head. You probably won't forget what he was selling either.
ReplyDeleteWe also have to consider that many people don't think the same way we do. Some are more serious, others outgoing and wild. There has to be someone out there who thinks that the crazy, loud and obnoxious stuff is great because it lures them into buying the ad's product.
I agree, most of the times tv commericals arnt that bad but there are way too many after during each tv break, ones that repeat constantly after each tv show witch dives me nuts, the only ones that seem to catch my eye are the humurous and obnoxious ones, those commericcals i remember the moust because they aere loud and like yelling at you making you think stupid is funny.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your point. I think some commercials are really annoying, especially if you are watching a movie on TV and during an exciting part, it just goes to the commercials. I also hate it when there are long commercials and it seems like it never ends. But for a lot of people, commercials are really effective. Some commercials help people find what they are looking for. It also gives people a good idea of what products they need or want.
