What Were The Best Super Bowl Commercials Of 2012?

Because we certainly don't want to discuss the actual game, let's talk Super Bowl commercials...
Hulu posted every Super Bowl Ad from this year and asked users to "like" the ones they most enjoyed. You can see their lineup at their Ad Zone site. Their users voted Honda's "Matthew's Day Off" and Volkswagen's Star Wars themed "The Bark Side" and "The Dog Strikes Back" as the most liked ads of the 2012 Super Bowl. The Bark Side narrowly edged the Ferris Bueller ad for Honda as the most liked ad of the Big Game.
The funniest ad according to Hulu users was Jerry Seinfeld's "Acura: Transactions" ad in which he makes increasingly absurd offers for the chance to be the first guy to own the new Acura NSX. The best celebrity cameo went to Will Arnett in the Hulu ad, which given the source seems a little biased...
Funny animals are always a big part of Super Bowl ads and the Bud Light "Rescue Dog" spot won top honors in the "cutest critters" category. The "best soundtrack" went to Chevy's "Anthem" spot (for my money it was Audi's Vampires spot with the Echo & The Bunnymen song.)
Finally, the "most nostalgic" ad went to the NFL's own "Timeline" spot. To view of all these ads and to read our reviews, check out our 2012 Super Bowl Ads Stream.

The Clint Eastwood ad was incredible, and I thought the Skechers commercial with the dog was hilarious.
Luxury rap, the Hermes of verses. Sophisticated ignorance, write my curses in cursive
I fell for the Eastwood ad too
I was signing “America F*ck yeah” by the time it was over

That was probably the only one I didnt see! Friend of mine was leaving and missed it! BASTARDS!

hmm... very serious.
Interesting, makes you think. But, will that be the last time we see that commercial? Since it revolves around halftime?

It was great
Would have been better if he signed off with “I am Batman”

I’m just hoping he doesn’t become the next Reagan.
AR should have to wear a Flava Flav necklace until he learns how to manage a clock.
I am the proud target of temper tantrums.
We can use another Reagan!

I thought the little dream dust troll guy who spilled all his dream dust on the one guy sleeping was the funniest. He started dreaming some pretty wacky things. It definitely had me cracking up:
Many Thanks!
Thanks Adamnb87! Glad you enjoyed it. Heads up- we have more videos about the commercial on our YouTube page. Just look to the right of the video to find it. Here you go: http://bit.ly/KiaBGAd

Clint Eastwood ad was my favorite.
Although I did like what one of Letterman’s Late Show writers had to say about the Leno/Seinfeld ad:
Weird. It’s not like Leno to steal something from another comedian.

I liked the one with Adriana Lima. I don’t know what the hell she was advertising, but that isn’t important.

they all sucked ass except for a select few. what the fuck is with all the parades and shit in each commercial? Those aren’t effective at all and are costing millions of dollars to produce not to mention air time.
Prediction: the 3-4 will be out of style in two years.
So no, I will not shut up about stupidity.

I enjoyed the E-Trade “Speed Dating” one. Not sure if that was new.
I also liked seeing The Darkness make a comeback in the Galaxy Note commercial.

trophie?
at least spell correctly when trolling, that way people maybe will think twice about branding you an idiot instead of condemning you outright.

No they won’t. They will get our pick after we trade it to them for an extra 3rd rounder.
Ed Snider is a crotchety old fuck.
That is all.
3rd rounder?!?!?
Ha, who do you take us for, the cardinals? Why on earth would we trade our first for a third when we could rob New York of their 6th AND their 7th? Andy Reid knows all of the good linebackers are in the 6th and 7th….oh wait…

I thought again the commercials were a huge disappointment
It seems like it’s been a few years since I’ve really seen a commercial that was really good/funny/witty.
the M&M one! so its that kind of party
I had alien women suck me off when god said let there be light i turned it the fuck off I'll leave your body drenched in the blood of all your ancestors
You'll never be at peace, like the souls of child molestors I'll cut you and bless your festering wounds with alcohol This is the final call, for all the rappers that wanna brawl Immortal Technique, the wrong motherfucker to diss

I thought that was the best one too.

ugh..
Why am I up this morning after the Giants just won yet another Super Bowl, there is alot of things I understand in this world, being an Eagle Fan just isn’t one of them… this blows.
ok, the giants suck.

So no one's going to mention the Fiat commercial?

yes
she would never make it to a bedroom, but the back window has a good chance of getting broken. May even buy her a cheese steak afterwards
I can sympathize,
this is the best you can do. No problem. There is probably a place in this world for second rate, unintelligent observations such as yours, hard to tell where, that’s all.
my favorite ad
The one where my TV screen went black after I turned that crap off.
Crush them, my Birds!!! CRUSH THEM!!!!!!!!!
The hype for the SB commercials is so high, that when we actually see them, we are disappointed.
Some were good. Some were a waste of $3.5 Mil.

I can't say there was a best commercial but...
most impactful: Clint Eastwood commercial
most likely to give me a boner: Adriana Lima and the Fiat commercial
funniest: I cracked up at the missing cat doritos

Bud Light's Wee-go dog was pretty awesome and its a cool thing for charity too
Trevor Laws: "Thank Giants for kicking to (Desean)."

Matt Dodge: "Snap too high!"
