Commercial Observation



I chose this commercial because of many aspects. First off, I’m familiar with the Bud-light or Budweiser beverage. I’m not going to explain to you how, but you can use your imagination. I would say I’ve become more accustomed to this brand than any other brand. Second I like horses and obviously, there are horses in this commercial. I have a lot of respect for Clydesdales because they are a large breed of horse. They’re known for their work capacity and power, like me. Third, I'm a country oriented person, which is where this takes place so I enjoy that aspect. I would say I prefer to be in the mountains than somewhere else like on a beach. I like the beauty and how majestic the horses are. I grew up around horses so this only adds to the liking for them. And finally, the horses are playing football, and I love the game of football so that works out as well. When I watch this commercial, I see the mountains and trees off in the distance. I don't hear much, but the sound of the replay machine. I love peace and quiet in the countryside. There’s not a lot of noise going on which adds to the scenery. Now, as I continue to observe, the horses are waiting for the replay, which I'm accustomed to because as I stated earlier, I love football. It’s funny because eventually, you see a zebra with his head in a replay video machine. It’s also humorous how referees are often referred to as “zebras” because of their stripes. At the end one of the cowboys stated: "this referee is a jackass," and the other replies "no, I believe that's a zebra." Just some old fashioned humor to go with the solitude of being in the mountains.
