After watching James’ presentation about Panda Cheese, I had to go and look for other Panda Commercials. I watched the Never Say No to Panda in the Supermarket. Once again, the commercial starts out with a dull and inactive setting. Then you see the father and son shopping for groceries together and you can notice that the father has a dull, grey shirt whereas the son has a bright yellow shirt. This in itself shows the difference of personalities between the father and the son. The son then picks up the Panda Cheese and suggests buying it, but his father quickly scolds him and I am assuming that he is telling him that they have enough food already in the cart. As soon as the father finishes saying that the Panda appears, again, giving the father a cute smile with a couple of blinks. The Panda walks up and knocks the cart over and kicks the groceries multiple times.
This commercial clearly shows that Panda Cheese brings joy and liveliness into the lives of people who enjoy this product. The people who do not want this seem to hate life or just not happy at all. In addition, rejecting this product means that you will be receiving the wrath of the Panda and after watching the multiple series of Panda Cheese videos, you do not want to mess with the Panda.
As I watched the numerous Panda videos, I think the advertisers did a very good job in attempting to sell their product because I really want some Panda Cheese. I WILL find Panda Cheese and when I do, I will bring it to class sometime in the future.
I think the commercials are friggin' hilarious. A gentle creature such a panda is portrayed with having selfish goals and uses violent means of reaching them. When I visited Egypt this past December, I got some Panda cheese just because I saw the commercial... it stunk though. But I definitely was intrigued by the product because of the unique style of advertising.
ReplyDeleteBased on the fact that you went in search for more Panda commercials and are interested in buying the actual cheese itself, it seems that Panda did its job in catching your interest and attention! I might have to check out some of the ads myself!
ReplyDeleteThe Panda ads are definitely something worth showing to other people. They are just so surprising and unexpected. The advertisers do a good job of catching everyone's attention and making their product famous. After seeing the commercial, I was also a little bit curious to find out how Panda tastes.
ReplyDeleteThe commercials definitely bring an interesting approach to advertising. The approach is somewhat extreme and odd, I mean, they're honestly going to try and use a big stuffed panda to beat people up as their way of selling the product? As crazy as it seems, it does work. It's out of the ordinary, and doesn't use the same tactics that every other company uses to appeal to its consumers. It brings attention and allows the viewer to remember their ad, thus effectively remembering Panda Cheese too.
