This research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach with the advertising object “Extra Joss, and Molto,". This study focuses on the selection of talents who play masculine and feminine characters in the advertisement. The data used in this study were obtained from various steps, including observing television advertisements as a form of population, selecting advertisements containing elements of gender stereotypes, and explaining the meaning of advertisements on television with contextual aspects. The results of the study show that advertising has a major impact on the preservation of gender stereotypes that have long existed in society.
