         Living in a technologically advanced society, we are bombarded with advertisements all the time! Whether it be commercials between our favorite television shows, pop ups while playing games on mobile devices, provocative and unrealistic ads in gossip magazines, or even walking down the street and seeing billboards, marketing is constant and everywhere! Although they can be annoying, certain ads that have catchy tunes or that make me laugh always stick with me. My favorite commercial of all time is the Education Connection television commercial from 2010. The song that the woman sings is so catchy that I was able to sing along with it every time it came on.. which was very often. Commercials that make people hum the song after watching it are the ones that seem to have done their job in advertising. A person may not use the said product but they know what it's from and can correlate the song to a commercial. Commercials that use popular songs in their ads also attract me. I like to hear songs that I like in commercials so it holds my attention. I also really like to watch infomercials. There is a plastic container that is made to stack on top of all of the other containers enabling a cabinet to be organized and neat. The prior situation, presented in black and white, had containers shoved in the in cabinet and falling out anytime the door was opened. It makes me laugh to think that anyone would even buy the the stackable containers and I hope that the audience can see that organizing a cabinet will rid the clutter and keep containers from falling out. The ridiculousness of the products makes me laugh so they are enjoyable to watch. Advertisements for television shows with laugh tracks or animal/ children commercials with the sad music are  my least favorite. I don't want to hear fake laughs for something that isn't funny or feel guilty for not adopting or donating money.
