Abstract
There is evidence that humor in a commercial leads to effects that are desirable for the advertiser. There is an absence, however, of evidence that an audience still perceives humor in a commercial they have heard numerous times. This study tests the effect of repetition on perceived humor and also tests the effect of a new creative treatment as a tactic when humor wears out.
