It’s Super Bowl time and companies have rolled out their special event campaigns. Hyundai takes a hypnotic approach and attempts some mass hypnosis within their commercials . . . with tongue in cheek but hypnotic operators in full effect.

First, we are reminded of our pre-existing hypnotized trance state.

HYPNOTIZED

We follow up with some overt re-conditioning that is both an dishypnosis and a conditioning hypnosis session all in one.

DEPROGRAMMING

Now, this one’s not overtly hypnotic but notice the hidden hypnotic operators at play.

ANACHRONISTIC CITY

Now, that’s fun . . . and a useful example of influence at work via humor.

All the best,
