1. What is your earliest recollection of watching a television commercial? Do you have a favorite ad? A most-despised ad? What is it about these ads that you particularly like or dislike?
I really don't remember what the first television commercial was that I ever saw. More than likely, it was some kind of toy that I thought was the coolest thing ever and had to have. I would have to say that my favorite ad as of right now would have to be the SunDrop commercial on television. My most-despised ad would have to be the Kia Soul commercial with the mice. The fact that the mice rap drives me crazy. My dad also feels the need to go around singing this commercial at least once a day. (That makes me really aggravated). What I like about the SunDrop commercial is that it is creative; whereas, the Kia Soul commercial is a little too much. The commercial seems as if it goes on for five minutes straight.
2. Why are so many people critical of advertising?
