I feel like I lost brain cells for watching the original Whassup commercial. I do not see the connection between the commercial and the product they are trying to sell: coca cola. Although the Whassup 2008 commercial was quite funny in comparison to what was going on in the USA in 2008. Even though I hadn’t seen the 2008 commercial before- apparently it was pretty popular for the Obama campaign- it didn’t make me feel like an idiot after watching it.
I dislike free writing…. It keep my thoughts short and to the point… at least there isn’t a word count minimum like my last class….
Whassup- stupid, immature, irrelevant, pointless, annoying, waste of time
Whassup 2008- ironic, purposeful, relevant to the times problems,
A commercial is supposed to give enough information in a 30-second window to persuade you to agree with what they are trying to advocate, sell, or promote. I felt the connection more with Whassup 2008 rather than the original Whassup. Maybe because Whassup 2008 was mimicking the stupidity of the original Whassup commercial that made it more pleasing to watch yet threw in a positive outcome that many persons wanted during the 2008 elections. It brought humor to topics that were depressing, heated, and relevant.
