Commercials create those impulses through humor, sex, and high budget special effects. They can flash on the screen sometimes randomly with no story The reason they are not art is because they have no connection with the creator, or a message the creator is attempting to set forth. They are simple reactionary.
I mean, if I were to go into a crowded mall, and randomly shoot somebody that'd create a reaction of hefty impulse, but it wouldn't be art. Same if I just flashed a million random images of emotionally stirring high budget effects to people with no intention. Now, you can use violence to tell a greatly artistic story but that's only if you know how to apply the right subtlety. Too subtle, and you risk alienating a commercial audience. Hence, you guy the high road, and avoid subtly all together because it's a proven formula. Even at expense of artistic integrity.
Some music videos make exception of this. I mean, some artists make them even without a want to air them. However, Gaga is not an exception as everything she does is about business, and no more viable than a ford truck commercial with a truck randomly driving over desert hills. Hence, Artistic as a bag of cheetoes.
