Abstract

Humour and drama appeals have become one of the most widely employed communication tactics in advertising; yet, our understanding of this advertising genre’s challenges still needs to be updated, as most of the literature on the subject, particularly drama, needs to be updated. In the meantime, concerns about their effectiveness continue to arise. Concepts, methods, models, types, and elements of humour and drama were examined through conceptual review. Premised on the Elaboration Likelihood Model of Persuasion (ELM) theory, which explains how persuasion occurs and the strength of attitudes formed as a result of those processes, the paper concludes that while humour and drama are not a guarantee of better ads, their impact can be enhanced with careful consideration of the goals, audience, and situation. In addition, since this paper is only a conceptual review, it is anticipated that it will contribute to a further explanation of humour and drama and their mediating role in the relationship between advertising appeals and consumer intention. This may then be further investigated to yield empirical findings about the dynamic nature of these advertising genres
