AOL Computer Check Commercial- Simply Brilliant
The AOL computer check is what I consider to be a gem of an ad. Yes there those out there who may consider it annoying and deceptive, but in my view it really is none of those things.
The ad shows a couple fighting over the possible reasons that could have caused their computer to not be working and how it can be fixed. While their nonstop batter goes on and on, their little child comes and bangs hard on the keyboard and the mouse with a little plastic hammer. The couple is not bothered in the least. The mother also stops for a moment, ordering the child to keep away from the machine.
They eventually reason out the crashing of the computer and decide to blame it on the possible banging and meddling done on the computer but something magical happens when the child bangs the mouse and. As soon as the kid does so, the screen displays the AOL Computer Check-Up, the center for repairing and fixing computer problems.
Today, the advertisers think that the customers are quite smart and although they may have some technical knowledge about the products they buy, they are also aware that sometimes they will need help.
This ad presents to viewers the solution to their PC problems in using the trusted AOL Computer Check-Up and presents it brilliantly. Using a child to find the possible solution (although by accident) is reminiscent of the famous line “and a child shall lead them”. The whole ad is really amusing and brought a smile to my face.
AOL has to be commended for presenting this ad to the general public. They promise you something simple, a solution to your most common PC problems.
So if you are facing a problem with your computer and don’t know how to find out what wrong try AOL’s solution before your child comes along and embarrasses you. Now we just need to find something as simple for apple mac support london and we’ll be off!
