Cuyamaca College Amusing Fallacy Pepsi Ads Discussion

 

For the final graded discussion of Unit 2, I want you to locate a rhetorical fallacy that you find amusing. This could be a cartoon, a TikTok, a clip from a comedian’s standup routine, a commercial, or something else. Make sure that you know what sort of rhetorical fallacy is at play; for example, in the Taco Bell commercial below, the two elderly men engage in a slippery slope argument. Once you understand what fallacy is at play, post it, but do not explain it.

See if you can identify and explain which rhetorical fallacy is present in the examples of 2 classmates. Then check out your own post to see how people are doing identifying yours. You are welcome – but not required – to respond to their responses, letting them know if they got it right.

You are welcome to post your responses as short videos or audio statements rather than written text, if you prefer. You can use the native client in Canvas to do so.
