My Favorite Ad



This ad for E-Trade is my favorite commercial ever. All of the E-Trade ads are absolutelty hilarious. Puting talking, singing, mature, grown-up like babies in a commercial was a brilliant idea. The concept is something no other business has done before continuously. Not only is the commercial always shot with the same babies but its always something easily relatable with adults which coming from the mouth of a baby makes it humorous. The ad targets mainly older, succesful men and women or any person who wishes to invest.

Every time this commercial comes on television I want to go check out E-Trade, even though the product is of no interest to me. I now know what E-trade is, where before seeing the ad I had no clue. This ad is effective in that it persuades viewers into checking out the website and possibly becoming buyers of the product because the humor is relatable to the audience and its not just another corny and annoying commercial. They keep people intrigued and viewers are excited to see what the E-Trade baby will come up with next!
