You might not remember the final score of the game, but you'll always remember the most memorable Super Bowl ads.

For some, the commercials are the main draw of watching the game. This year, a 30-second spot is going for $3.5 million -- and many companies think it's worth the price.

free doritos crash the superbowl 2009 was the funniest, the apple superbowl ad was definitely the most memorable.

Interesting fun fact about the Apple ad - more people have seen it in videos on the Internet than ever saw it during the air date - and because of that, it's one of the most hated advertisements among people who sell advertising space on TV and Radio because it pulled the curtain back on one of the biggest secrets in advertising - venues need the commercial far more than the commercial needs the venue. A good commercial isn't made by the venue, a good commercial is made by a good artist.
