Blog 2- Commercials


Over the past few days, I have watched commercials on GSN and HGTV. Some commercials that I have seen are very strange, and since the audience for GNS is so varied, there are MANY different kinds of commercials. There are commercials for everything from Humana, a company that gives Veterans insurance, to cookies. On HGTV, there are a lot of commercials for home improvement, such as paints, home depot, and furniture stores. The audience that watches this channel may be looking for ways to improve their home, or they might be looking to move, and they want to watch to get an idea of the different kinds of houses that are out there. No commercials are very memorable to me, but if I had to choose two, I would have to say that one is for the Papermate InkJoy pen. The commercial says that it will become one of the most stolen pens. It is the commercial where the woman using it thinks about stealing it, and then there is a guy hanging from the ceiling in a trap telling her that it’s a trap and that she shouldn’t take it. It might be the most memorable for me because it is the commercial that I think that I have seen the most often, and maybe because I hate most pens, and it makes me want to try it to see if I can find one that I like. Another one that is memorable to me is the one for personalized M&Ms. I remember this one the most because I have wanted to get them in the past, and every time I see the commercial I think about what I could possibly get them for. In high school I wanted to get them to ask somebody to our turnabout dance, because I thought that it would be cute, and then I told my sister that that she should get them to put on her tables at her wedding. I just think that it is a very cute idea.

  1. Wonderful job picking out the target audience(s) for each channel. I have never heard about these pens, but I will have to see how they write. I, too, am picky about writing utensils. I've been using felt pens lately and have been loving it.
