Cadbury Gorilla Advert



This Ad is a very entertaining and enjoyable which had made me pick this Ad. The main interest that grabbed my attention was the idea of how they made just that one simple chocolate bar, into a very entertaining and marvellous Ad. The reason why I talked about it was because, how often do you see a Gorilla playing the drums in a mood that you cant describe while Advertising a chocolate bar "Cadbury Chocolate".

Often when people look at an Ad, there is always one main part that mostly attracts the audience, which I would think it would be the part when the Gorilla full starts playing the drums in a beat that we have never heard before. But for me, it was the whole thing. The reason why i liked the whole Ad was because how it started off slow, with soft and peaceful noise, then when time pass and more, it gets higher and higher, then leads the audience who are watching this Ad to the main part, then finishing the Ad off this the chocolate bar. Showing that this Ad was made because of this Chocolate Bar. Inflicting on showing the audience the chocolate bar "Cadbury", it gives people the time to have an imagination about the Ad, the reason why they made this Ad?, the reason why is there a gorilla playing the drums? But this is one simple answer for that. It’s different to the other Ads which leads the audience of this Ad to remember it more than others because its one of a kind.

The Interest of the Ad is to show people a different thing on the TV while advertising their chocolate bar. The reason why it Interest people watching this Ad is because its different to the other Ads on TV, which makes this Ad stand out from others. Standing out is the most important aspect for an Ad because it has to attract the audience and give the audience a better chance on buying the chocolate bar. Without entertainment, creation and interesting ideas, the audience wouldn't even consider buying the product of how it shows that the company that is advertising the product, isn't serous in selling. Saying that their is no point for buying the product which have been advertised because the way that they have shown it to us, is to simple or to basic.

The desire that this Ad wants to provoke is to let people want to have this chocolate and that the time that they are watching the Ad, it the time that they want it most. Its a feeling that many people have while watching Ads, mostly around night times because people eventually get hungry even after having dinner. This shows that not just this type of chocolate can advertise for its brand but also of what it is, "food". By having this, it helps the company and especially of how its chocolate! everybody likes chocolate.

The imperative that this Cadbury chocolate bar Ad is leaving us with is, buy this chocolate bar. By doing that, it shows us that this Ad has done what its a pose to do, attract the audience to buy the chocolate bar, or if you have already brought the time, it may imperative people to eat the chocolate now.

Will you buy this Cadbury Chocolate Bar??
