VOLKSWAGEN MEETS DARTH VADER

1) Volkswagen tapped into our inner geeks, featuring a mini Darth Vader in their commercial, which already has over 15 million views. May the force be with you:

JUSTIN BIEBER AND OZZY OSBOURNE FOR BEST BUY

2) Even before it aired during the game, the Justin Bieber and Ozzy Osbourne Best Buy spot had everyone buzzing (ahem, I mean tweeting):

EMINEM FOR CHRYSLER

3) Eminem dominated commercial buzz with not one but two separate ads. The first for Brisk and another which he shot from his hometown of Detroit for Chrystler:

NFL'S "BEST FANS EVER" COMPILATION

4) This has to be the best compilations of awesome TV Super Bowl moments ever from our favorite shows including "The Simpsons," "Golden Girls," "The Sopranos," "Seinfeld," "90210" and many others:

BUD LIGHT PERFECTS PRODUCT PLACEMENT

5) Any Super Bowl couldn't be complete without a beer ad. Look no further than Bud Light to deliver the ultimate product placement commercial. If you're going to do it, might as well own it:

GO DADDY.CO "NEW GIRL"

6) The Big Game might go on without adequate seating, but without a revealing Go Daddy ad? And how about the big reveal?

PEPSI MAX: "LOVE HURTS"

7) See, his wife is only looking out for his health, preventing him from tucking into high-calorie foods. And jealousy has nothing to do with it.

GM SERIES: "MISS EVELYN"

8) Among several spots for Chevy was this Camaro ad that somehow features everything you could expect in a car commercial crammed into an ad client's pitch meeting. (And she's a teacher!)

GROUPON: "SAVE THE WHALES"

9) Oscar-winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr begins the ad with a heartfelt plea to save the whales. But that's not where he's heading ...

CAREERBUILDER.COM: "PARKING LOT"

10) The chimps are back, this time proving that if there's anything insanely easier than a monkey holding down a job, it's a monkey getting a driver's license.

I couldn't understand any of the ads. None of them identified the product they were selling and none of them had any redeeming social values. It's like the producers were on acid.

The geezers watching the Chevy Cruze commercial was the best. I can identify with them! "42 Wild Italians!"

One of my favorites that seems to be overlooked a lot was the one where the Chevy truck acts like Lassie. Very original, funny, and well done. Don't know why it's not getting a little more love!

The Doritos commercials were all better then any of the ones listed here as choices. Looking at other sites I see confirmation of this. CBS, how to you wind-up not listing any of the Doritos commercials in you poll?

The Kia Optima commercial was the best - stolen by one person after another until the Mayans finally call it to them thousands of years ago. Brilliant.

I miss the majestic (and funny) Budweiser commercials with the clydesdales. This year's was not as good as usual. They are my favorites from past years.

I think the best was the Miller Lite party dogs. That Chihuahua trying to pick up the hottie was too funny!
