This ad wants to persuade people into buying M&M’s but also trying to entertain  them by not making the ad a typical  standard boring ad but by making it funny by using a well know comedian and some intense stunts. This commercial wants you to buy M&M’s because if you buy M&M’s then the company gets some profit. They are addressing this  to everyone because they know that people of all ages will buy M&M’s.  This commercial was effective at what it was trying to do because it made its way all over the internet and not just on standard television but social media, you tube, and much more.

This ad is persuading people to buy these products while also informing because they have some new products available for sale and they want to make profit off of them.They are also entertaining the audience because they are using well know actors and intense songs. The message is that these products are worth buying and you should go buy them. This commercial is addressed to anyone who like Doritos or mt. dew. This commercial was really effective because the companies made really good decisions about who to cast and what to do.

This ad was made to entertain people but at the same time inform them because it says that all commercials are tide ads. Their message is that if it wasn’t for tide then no commercial would be able to get as much profit for the product and that every ad is a tide ad because tide is one of the most used laundry detergent. They are addressing everyone but most importantly the person in your household that does the laundry. This ad was in my opinion funny but not really effective because it kind of was jumping all over the place and hard to keep track of.
