The purpose of the paper is to explore the influence of verbal impulses of selected German television commercials on triggering emotions. The research aimed at finding out the interconnection of verbal and psychological dimension of television commercials and the comparison and analysis of the data, obtained with the help of test subjects, including the dimension of the gender of test subjects. In addition, the standard techniques and instruments of collecting quantity data were applied – a questionnaire and a grading scale. The data, obtained with the help of the questionnaires, completed by the test subjects, were statistically analysed.
