Volkswagen Wins AdBowl 2012

And the results keep rolling in. In yet another metric that, let's be honest, amounts to a popularity contest, Volkswagen's Dog Strikes Back landed the top spot in this year's AdBowl, a Super Bowl commercial ranking system launched in 2001 by McKee Wallwork. Rounding out the top five were Doritos Man's Best Friend, Bud Light Rescue Dog, M&M's Ms Brown and Skechers Mr. Quiggly.

During and after the game, viewers who wanted to vote went to the AdBowl website or app and rated the commercials on a scale between one and five, with one being a "fumble" and five being a "touchdown." The scores were averaged in real time and a winner declared at midnight Eastern.
