The fallacy displayed in this advertisement is referred to as the bandwagon fallacy. The text mentions that the goal of this fallacy is “…to introduce us psychologically to agree or to go along with something” (Moore, B & Parker, R, 2024). In other words, it is when someone tries to get us to believe or do something by portraying it as trendy. In doing so, individuals agree because they hate the idea of being disconnected from the majority. In the advertisement it states, “America’s favorite mascara”. This statement is an example of the bandwagon fallacy because it suggests that the product is superior simply due to the fact that many people use or prefer it. The fallacy implies that popularity is a valid reason to choose certain products over the other, instead of providing concrete evidence of its overall quality or effectiveness. Hence, it encourages consumers to jump on the bandwagon without critically evaluating the product itself.

A fallacy that I have chosen to speak about this week is called the bandwagon fallacy. In advertising, this fallacy aims to influence people and make them want to do something because everyone else is doing it. A specific example of this is fallacy in advertising are the Carl’s Jr ads. These commercials often show a woman dressed in very exposed and revealing clothing eating a cheeseburger and are attempting to portray the idea that if you want to look good and be confident in your body, eating a Carl’s Jr cheeseburger will do the trick. The message suggests that since a woman with a desirable body are choosing to eat the product, you should too. The bandwagon fallacy is used to imply social pressure, encouraging people to do something in order to fit in with society. This advertisement is the perfect example of using the bandwagon fallacy to get customers to buy their product.
