The product being advertised is an internet webaddress. The commercial attracts my attention because there is a man wearing a ball suit in it and he makes weird facial expressions while looking into the camera. Maybe it is because of the commercial being so weird that so many people know about the product and remember the name of the business but I don’t think it really attracts people to actually buy a web address there. The language that is used to make you want to buy the product is formal and directly into the camera but like I said it does not tempt me to buy a web address by Strato. Even though the commercial is funny and a lot of people remember it, it doesn’t look like a professional business and it doesn't seem like the quality is very well.

The product being advertised are Durex condoms. The commercial attracts my attention because of the whole happy summer waterballoon vibe it is made in and because of the funny end where the show how strong their condoms are. In the end you see two boys throwing condoms filled with water out of their window on a womans head. They bump off and fall on the street but it doesn’t break, showing you how strong they are and how much they can handle. I think that that is why people would want to buy them, because of the funny commercial and because it shows how much they’re able to handle.

A woman talking about death, that is what this commercial is about. While she is talking about death, there are people crying and praying. The product that is being advertised in this commercial is a funeral insurance. The music and the way she speaks attracts my attention, but in a negative way. The way this commercial is filmed is different than most other commercial and the information is going deep. The atmosphere is cold and depressive, but others might find it beautiful and peaceful. The fact everyone dies and this commercial is open about it, can attract people. This commercial is about something that is going to happen to everyone and that is what makes it true and safe. The women speaks in a serious and clear Dutch language. There is some music playing at the background, but there are not a lot of visual techniques that have been used. This commercial would not influence me to buy the product. Why? Maybe i’m too young for this, but it also makes me feel a bit scared.

This commercial is about christmas and a bunny. The bunny is what attracted my attention. The intention is to let you think the bunny is going to die, but he is not going to die. The bunny is getting a huge hutch for christmas. That makes the commercial funny and interresting to watch. There is not just one product they want to sell (like the christmas lights or the knife), but they want you to rememer and talk about the commercial so people can spread the name of the webshop. You can hear a happy man voice talking. The visual techniques (like the fake snow) are making the commercial pretty and nice to watch. I would take a look on Bol.com to see what they have got.

We Love the Subs Quiznos commercial – Spongmonkey’s
This commercial is about sandwiches from the Quiznos restaurant. The commercial attracts attention by the highly annoying sound of singing creatures that apparently are called Spongmonkey’s. The Spongmonkey’s sing about how much they love the subs, how tasty and how cheap they are. There is absolutely nothing about the ad that makes the product desirable apart from the pictures of the actual subs. The commercial is in English, the creatures sing with a Mexican accent, while playing a guitar. The lyrics are simple and weird. The visual techniques used in this commercial are not really great. The little rat-like “Spongmonkey’s” are horrible, yet funny to look at. They move around the screen. Though hilarious because it’s so bad, I don’t think people will go to Quiznos because of the commercial. I would still go because it’s so weird and I’m kind of curious about the subs now, but not everybody seems to appreciates this commercial.

Pin Reclame met Rob de Nijs
Everybody remembers the PIN ad from Dutch 90’s television. The commercial attracts attention by the exciting soundtrack and photographers saying that “there’s movement.” And seeing a biker from the photographer’s point of view. Then there’s a chase. All the photographers take pictures of Rob de Nijs while he’s on his bike. We then see a couple of headlines in magazines including pictures. Rob de Nijs is trying to pay by card at a gas station but the photographers are still harassing him. He raises his arms and says “Okay, guys you can ask me anything, know everything about me…except for my PIN. We then see another headline saying “Rob de Nijs, pays quickly, safely and simple!”
This is a good commercial because the serious subject is brought to the viewers in a funny way to show that everyone should keep their PIN private. It’s effective, fun to watch and important. The way they filmed this ad and the story is something people still talk about today.
