As you said, it was neither heavy on the Four Causes, nor was it particularly persuasive. Now, I DID say that you should consider occasionally analyzing an ad that didn't meet the criteria, but then I need you to dig really deep and think very critically about it. I understand the desire to use this ad when you came across it--but perhaps it would have fit a later section more closely. I'm just not sure it allowed you to write your best analysis. --Sarah-- I agree that this is a great commercial to analyze–I’m just not sure it was the best choice for this week.

Although it is vulgar (and seemingly un-purposeful in its vulgarity), I think it works as a means to differentiate itself from every other commercials being aired. It’s different, attention grabbing and super witty. It doesn’t bank on sexual innuendo as most beer commercials do; instead it works off of something more basic than that: foul language. I think it’s great. Oh my gosh…I don’t think I have audibly laughed at a commercial in awhile!
