As I think about all of the different kinds of advertisements we are bombarded with in our daily lives, what I tend to remember most are really funny commercials along with As Seen On T.V infomercials. Being that funny commercials tend to make me laugh, it makes me look at the screen to see what it's about. in result seeing what they are trying to sell me. Due to the amount of funny commercials going viral, a lot of marketing companies are starting to try making their commercials funny and sometimes I find myself not really enjoying the advertisement.
I believe As Seen On T.v infomercials are my favorite form of visual media due to the fact that most of them are really corny. A lot of these infomercials tend to convey that regular everybody people can't either complete simple tasks without failing horribly at it, or are just too lazy to even do the task. In which they then cut to a sells person trying to get you to buy there new product that saves so much time from your busy lives. I actually think this is a really good form of visual media due to the fact that I tend to remember a lot of there reenactments that are shown, from the Snuggie, to ones with really strange names such as Dump Cakes/Dump Dinners. Even after saying all of this about As Seen On T.v infomercial merchandise a part of me still wants to buy something from them but maybe not from the ones I listed above.
Visual media that I tend to not like are commercials that are shown repeatedly over and over again for an extended period of time, anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks. So much so that I begin to learn exactly what they are going to say next. Also I don't really like commercials that are really long and/or have a song that is sung in it being that it tends to get stuck in my head for a while. I mostly try not to really focus on commercials being that I am either looking at my phone or changing the channels during the commercial breaks, but you will still see or hear them regardless.
