What Creative techniques are used to attract attention?
As you can see, this commercial from 2013 incorporates all of these techniques to attract the attention of the people.
HUMOR: Humor is one of the big techniques used to attract attention. The two main characters of the show are absolutely hilarious and are basically always joking and laughing. This created a vey lighthearted environment and makes all viewers laugh constantly. In addition, the two main characters are very childlike, but are adults, so they can relate to both kids and adults, making the show appealing to all ages of people. Shawn and Gus (the two main characters) are the dynamic duo of all TV, and are always making fun of someone (respectfully of course) and making odd, but humorous references to the 80s, which make everyone laugh. To summarize, Shawn and Gus attract a lot of attention to the show and bring in many viewers with their hilarious and childlike personalities, which keep everyone laughing.
