Super Bowl ads aren't just an afterthought of the Big Game but considered a main attraction. We chose our favorite ads from the past 10 years to share with you. Which ones were your favorite? 

2005 - Heineken 

Beer, Brad Pitt and The Rolling Stones, what’s not to love? Oh, did we mention David Fincher directed? 

 

2006 - Budweiser 

Our second beer brand pick. This heartwarming Super Bowl commercial was one of the most memorable in the Anheuser-Busch vault.

 

2007 - Late Show with David Letterman

This one pins Oprah and David together on a couch and in love. It was short, sweet, to the point and shows the comedic chops of both.

 

2008 - NFL

This short story of a commercial killed it with fans who tuned in. Here Ephraim Salaam talks about meeting oboe player Chester Pitts at the grocery store and convinces him to play football. 

 

2009 - Pepsi Max

The famous “I’m good” ad was ranked most-watched during Super Bowl XLIV

 

2010 - Snickers

Two Words: Betty White

Two more words: Abe Vigoda

 

2011 - Chipotle

This commercial is the most thought-provoking on our list, artfully spotlighting the effect industrial farming has on our planet.


2012 - Chrysler 

This nationalistic commercial features Clint Eastwood embodying half-time as a call to American morale during a slumped economy, specifically in Detroit’s Motor City.

 

2013 - Samsung

Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd star in this commercial, where they pitch the “Next Big Thing” to Samsung headquarters while poking fun at each other. 


 

2014 - Radio Shack

Hulk Hogan, Dee Snider and Alf all guest star in the brand's self-aware ad and comical ad. 

 

2015 - Locite

For a glue brand, this wildly weird commercial kept viewers glued to their screen. It was strange, but it was memorable.
