So, tonight I watched Law and Order Criminal Intent. I think that show can gear towards like three types of audiences: adults, young adults (20ies), and higher up teens (17 & up). A lot of the commercials that came on had to do with cars, name brand food items, restaurants, and dogs. Two commercials that i found interesting were one of the car commercials and a Chile's commercial.
Honda had a commercial about one of their new cars. It appealed to my eyes as an individual viewing the commercial because the car was a cool color (blue), and seemed to be driving smoothly. It wasn't like some old whooptie clunking down the street. The unseen narrator of the commercial also named improvements/new features the car had. Near the end of the commercial, the narrator was saying how the price was such a great deal, but how it was limited time only. As a person viewing something like that on T.V. I feel the pressure that if I want the car, then I not only want to get that product, but have to get it by a certain time unless I'll miss the sale.
The Chile's commercial had like a waitress bringing out some of the restaurants signature dishes. The restaurant isn't only advertising the food by just showing what it looks like, they make it so the camera is zoomed in on the product and slathered or dipped in whatever sauce there is involved. And then there was scene of like a waitress bringing out a platter of food to a whole group of friends. So the restaurant is showing that they don't only have good food, but that you can also have a great time with your friends in the process by just being in the environment of the restaurant.

heyy girl heyyy !
I liked your idea of watching Law and Order Criminal Intent. That sounds like a pretty interesting show to people around our age, meaning ones that are probably about to go to college and are using the show as an influence to future studies.
I understand your point about the Honda commercial. With the fact that the commercial includes "limited time only", it pressures you to get this such beautiful, new, smooth car soon. Also, let alone feeling the pressure to get the car within this limited time, you are wanting this car more just to be in the modern day fashion. I guess it deals with the fact how many people want to be "hip" or have all these new things, that with this car, you can be just that. However, I do not really believe the car commercials when they say limited time only. I think they say limited time just so they can get you in a dealership and you buy they car and they get their money quicker.
About the Chile's commercial, just like almost all other food commercial, of course they try to make their food look all good and grab people's attention and hopefully their appetites to come in and get these signature dishes they are advertising. But in reality, I think Chile's is gross. They grabbed my appetite by one of those commercial and I bet you they will never grab it again.
But good blog girl.
P.S. "La" ? this is not spanish.
HAHAH, jk.
