"You're not you when you're hungry."

It's so interesting to me how people come up with the funniest and most clever things for a commercial. I was never a huge fan of Snickers, but this commercial has changed that, I now really enjoy Snickers. Is that even possible? Can a commercial like Snickers really change the way you feel about it? Well, all I know is for me it did. My family and I are huge candy lovers, but I never thought Snickers were that great. They were okay, but I didn't really care for them. Thanks to their commercials though, I have become a huge fan. And it's all because they have the best commercials.

Of all the candy commercials out there, I think Snickers has the best ones. Besides the fact that they are absolutely hilarious, they are also very intriguing. I would have never thought of these things. Their commercials always end with, "you're not you when you're hungry" and that's so true. Every time I'm hungry, I get in the worst mood. I become like a grumpy bear. So what makes this commercial so great is how accurate it is, although it's exaggerated, it's true....and very funny.


FEAR: It uses something disliked by the audience like when he tells Jeff, "every time you get hungry, you act like a diva" so he tells him to eat a snickers claiming that will fix the problem. "You're not you when you're hungry."

HUMOR: This ad uses humor by grabbing our attention, like in the beginning when Jeff is actually an African American lady because he's hungry and when he's hungry he acts like a diva. But then after he takes a bite of a snickers he's himself again and changes to a male.

PLAIN FOLKS: This technique is in this commercial because instead of having beautiful people or celebrities, they have normal, regular people. Which makes more people relate to it.

Repetition: The phrase, "you're not you when you're hungry" is in about every Snickers commercial. Repeating this phrase will help make the viewer remember it

How does Desperate Housewives portray women..

In Desperate Housewives there are more women than men, and as you might have guessed, the leading role is held by a woman. The main characters on this show are Bree, Gabrielle, Katherine, Lynette, Mary Alice, Susan, Andrew, Mike, Carlos, Orson and Tom. Although most of the women and men in this show are not young, they still are made up to look beautiful and handsome. You would probably have a hard time finding someone in this show overweight or ugly. They are all dressed and styled to perfection.

The main focus of this show is on women, even though there are men, too. But it's called Desperate Housewives for a reason. The show is filled with mainly beauty and drama, with that said, the intended audience is for women. The women are skinny, beautiful and dressed how you would probably imagine...sophisticated and sexy. As perfect as they may look or seem, their lives are far from that. Secrets and drama explain a lot that happens in this show.

With that said, I would say no, Desperate Housewives does not accurately portray women. But as far as how media portrays women, then yes, it would be accurate. The looks of the women in this show is not how the average women in America look. And as far as their lifestyles, I don't think the normal, average women in this country have that much drama and confusion in their lives.
