Commercials that make you say - if only for a moment - I have GOT to have it
Edited on Sat Nov-24-07 09:48 AM by bertha katzenengel
My first experience with this strange phenomenon:

The Jeep commercial that starts out with the guy driving a Jeep, alone, singing "Rock Me Gently." Probably one of the best commercials I've ever seen. First time I saw that, I said, "Okay. They got me. I'm buying a Jeep."

Ever had a similar experience? I'm talking about instant, fleeting reaction, not something that actually sent you in to a materialistic fit.

2. usually not the item sold
but the hot woman they have in the commercial, I am instantly and fleetingly attracted to them. Sometimes.

4. i like the commercials that manipulate my emotions and combine desire for a consumer product
with wistful feelings for my family.

commercials that juxtapose flashing images with repurposed classic rock are my second favorite.
