The Super Bowl commercials are highly anticipated by the public because, as tradition, they intend to be funny to lighten the mood if the high pressure game happening at the same time. A common theme I noticed throughout all of the commercials was that, to make them funny, they usually take place from the consumers point of view. Brands appeal to their audience by creating relatable scenarios. This allows viewers to laugh at reality and find common ground between themselves and the brand who sponsored the 30 second clip they’re watching. Incorporating humor into an advertisement earns the brand a place in their audiences memory. This is an honorable achievement considering the high volume of media people consume each day. It’s hard to stick out in a crowd of 30 second clips.

This video is about Deep Fake. From this understanding “deep fake” is essentially lies but in a bigger, political context. It’s lies that are told in publicity and public relations. People believe in this deep fake and it leads them to believe in a reality that isn’t true. The decisions they make because of this reality are not in fact the best decision they could make because it is based on lies.

Both of these videos are innocently poking fun of political beliefs by using technology to extract comics meaning from these beliefs. The first video uses poetry to create acapella music and visual appeal to put a light hearted spin on the movements against modernism. In the second video, Greta talks about very important issues, but with the effects placed on the video the focus is taken off of her message and onto the comedy of the video. This is how these two videos are alike; they translate serious messages and movements into a way that is relatable to the people who view it. Film makers do this to express their viewpoints on the situations at hand.

I sailed away to china

In a lil row boat to find ya

and you said you had to get your laundry clean

Didn’t want no one to hold you

What does that mean?

She said…

Ain’t nothin’ gonna break-a my stride
