Logical Fallacies in advertising

Through researching logical fallacies I realized that in today's society, logical fallacies are everywhere. I decided to research logical fallacies in advertisements because it shows how we are influenced by these logical fallacies on a daily basis.
Slippery slope:
 
Allstate teenage girl commercial:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtP-S9OS0o0
This is slippery slope because the driver is a teenage girl it will inevitably lead to a car accident.
Appeal to celebrity:

Commericals use celebrities constantly based on the logical fallacy that if a celebrity uses a product, you should too.

Commercials use a variety of logical fallacies which we as consumers can uncover to not get influenced in buying a product based on a fallacy.
