In this commercial it starts out with a man going up to a house and knocking on the door, after he knocks on the door a young lady opens it up. After she opens the door he hands her some flowers showing the us that he is obviously there to pick her up for a date. When the man comes into the house the lady tells him to have a seat and introduces him to someone, you dont see who it is that she introduces him to until after she leaves the room. It ends up being her son, who's name is jaylin. once jaylin see's Kyle (His moms date) he drops his game controller and gives him "the look." Kyle thinks he can just come in and make himself at home, but Jaylin thinks otherwise. Then Kyle made a mistake by picking up a Dorito from a bowl of Jaylin's Doritos. As he's about to take a bite of the dorito, Jaylin slaps him across the cheeck and says, "Keep yo hands off my momma keep yo hands off my Doritos."
Most people may view this commerical as funny, but it also has some value behind it. it basically shows a young boy who watches out for his mom and won't let any man touch her, or treat her badly. If you put humor and a cute little kid in a commericial, most people are going to like it, and it may persuade them to buy the product it's trying to sell.

Q:5
In this add, the mother is obviously a single mother which makes the child very dependent and concerned about the mother. When another man comes in the house and obviously "Checks out" the mother, he gets defensive and feels he needs to set him straight. In this situation the kid has the power.
The natural aspects in this commercial that boys tend to play video games. The twisting of the commercial is that this boy drops what he is doing to protect his mom and doritos. Which it is hard to get a guy out of his video game box and do anything else.
ReplyDeleteThe direct and hidden reflections of ideological values and structures of social power are that the male adult comes in thinking he is in control of the situation when he finds out that the son is actually the man of the house.
ReplyDeleteThe general cultural assumption is that when a child is meeting a parents friend/date that they will behave, be polite and shy rather than in your face.

Jeolusy and how we let things slide with little kids because we think its cute, but none of us after seeing that think about the out come of what the kid will be like as an adult if he will think that is ok. Also we pay attention when they are acting all grown up. We dont think about how it is effecting the child when parents start seeing other people after a divorce and what all kid going through that situation when they see there parents having feelings for someone other than there mother or father. by tori and Aubrie
ReplyDeleteThe general asumption that is portrayed in this ad is how the young child is protective over his mother and doritos to the man that he slaps. He is gaurding his territory.
