Superbowl Commercials for Classes in Society :)

This week we did not have class, however, our assignment was about the classes.

The lower, middle, and upper classes of our society and how they are given to us in commercial ads for the Superbowl. I was surprised how many commercials I saw with celebrities, such as bands, actors, models, or professional athletes to try and sell these products for people in the lower and middle classes. I was not sure about the lower class ads i chose because I do not really know what to look for when I think of lower class and I do not think commercials use too many of them anyways. The middle class was obviously the one most relatable to everyone in this class and almost all commercials seem to be for the middle class. The middle "working" class is the one who watches most of these ads and probably buys the most too, just not the stuff that is so expensive like the upper class does. The commercials try to attract watchers by making them funny or very odd and weird. Usually, people hate commercials and ads on the television but not Superbowl commercials. People love watching those commercials because the people have to pay so much money for them to put their craziest or most creative commercial on the television because they know most of the world is watching this channel right now. Which is very smart and very true, they are the best of the best when you are talking about commercials. In my opinion, I hate them either way, I would rather just watch the show, game, or movie without any interruptions. It was very weird having this assignment because I never really pay close attention to commercials and how they are given to which class in society, but, now It will always be in the back of my mind every commercial I see.
