About Funny advertisements

The main goal of the persuasion in advertising is to change/strengthen one's attitude toward a certain product or service. An attitude refers to the general evaluations that people may hold of themselves, others, objects, and issues.

Many advertisers of beer, cigarettes, and vacation products and leisure services use the products appeal to a person's desire for fun and pleasure.

There are many examples of advertisements that use this sort of appeal. One such campaign is the recent "Joe Camel" series of ads. Another by the cigarette company Newport has had a successful long running campaign called "Alive with Pleasure." The pictures in these ads depict young men and women as horsing around and having fun.

This ad uses the peripheral route to persuasion in that it tries to avoid the active and conscious cognitive process of the central route. The advertisers focus on the peripheral route so that their audience, the consumers, will overlook the real task of the ad- to sell cigarettes.

The advertisers would like the consumer to associate the fun that the characters are experiencing with Newport cigarettes. Peripheral route processing ignores the facts of cigarette smoking which would be more noticeable during central route processing. Many people fail to realize that there aren't any cigarettes in the ads even though these ads are cigarette ads.

Since the emphasis is taken away from the cigarette itself, peripheral route thinking would fail to recognize the dangers of smoking, especially Cancer. Instead, the ads try to induce the consumer to identify or attribute the people having fun with Newport cigarettes.

On the upside ... At least they're not a bore to look at...
