The commercial starts off in the retirement home with the nurse
coming into the room to say goodnight to the old man. The old man pretends he’s
going to sleep, but he gets out of bed, sneaks out and hops in a car where his friends
are waiting. The commercial gives an appeal to emotions (pathos) by using old
people to portray teenagers which makes
it humorous and using the song “We Are Young” in Spanish which is ironic.
After hoping into the car, the old people head out for a night
on the town. They begin the night by going night swimming in a random pool in which
they later get yelled at for. The next scene has his friend lighting fireworks
outside of someone’s house and obnoxiously laughing at what just happened. These two scenes are fantastic. It is just
hilarious to watch old people doing something a teenager would do.
Towards the middle of the commercial, the old people are in
a club dancing. One old man is doing the robot, one old woman is dancing by the
DJ, another old woman is growling at the camera, one old couple is “hooking up”
in the corner, and one old woman is coming out of the bathroom stall with a
random man—with a lipstick mark on his cheek. Not to mention there are foam
spraying everywhere in the club. The club scene also adds the sex to this
commercial. There’s one second where there’s someone young dancing with a
bathing suit-like top and her thin, bare stomach is showing. It adds to the
theme of the song, “We Are Young”.
The commercial continues and the gang are driving crazily
and disturbing the public by putting their bare chest up the glass where people
are eating dinner. They then continue on
their wild night by getting a tattoo. They end the night by driving up to taco
bell to get a late night snack as the cops passes by but doesn't stop. This is a great moment because the cops cannot
do anything because they aren't doing anything wrong and the fact that they are
old. If it had been a bunch of teenagers, the cops would have stopped. It’s
like being old isn't so bad---you can’t get caught by the police!
The commercial ends with the Taco Bell sign and below it is
says “Live Más”.
It matches well with the Spanish song because teenagers are young and they
should live and eat Taco Bell.
