Six Flags Mr. Six Commercial

In this advertisement, Six Flags’ Mr. Six is trying to carry everyone to Six Flags. The audience of this commercial is people who are always busy working and because of this never have time for fun. The ad wants to sell the idea of Six Flags being a place where people can play and have fun. In the commercial, there is an old man named Mr.Six that gets off the Six Flags bus taking his time walking down step after step to show that he is rather old. A possible myth behind the advertisement is that old people do not have fun or, even though it is quite funny, that old people cannot dance. The ad takes place in a suburban area where everyone, down to the kids, is busy working. This location was chosen to represent the average American home. The melancholy voice over gives the advertisement a feeling of boredom until, the Six Flags bus appears and the old slow moving man, Mr.Six, begins dancing. Cheerful fast paced music begins to play changing the mood from boredom to fun and excitement. After hearing this music and seeing Mr.Six dance, the occupants of the suburban area dance and follow Mr.Six to Six Flags where they ride a rollercoaster and other theme park rides available at Six Flags. After showing many images of people having fun on many of the rides at Six Flags, the slogan of Six Flags appear, “Six Flags. It’s play time.” The ad makes doesn’t make any promises but people can infer that if they are having a boring day, they can just go to six flags and they will be full of joy, laughter and fun.
