Infographic Summarizes Super Bowl 'Ad Brawl' Whispr Group looked at all publicly available Tweets about the Super Bowl posted from January 25, 2012 - February 3, 2013 to determine the main drivers of Twitter traffic across several categories including: The Super Bowl, Advertisements, Brands, Commercials, and Hashtags. Here are the highlights. Ram Trucks Tops Hulu AdZone Super Bowl Ad List Ram Truck's beautiful So God Made A Farmer ad as voiced by the late Paul Harvey topped the HGulu AdZone ranking of most liked ads. Rounding out the top five were Budweiser Brotherhood, Taco Bell Viva Young, VW Get in Get Happy and, WTF, Universal Pictures Fast and Furious 6. Fan votes were tallied for all Super Bowl XLVII commercials on Hulu's AdZone and the results reflect all votes that were in as of 8:00pm PT / 11:00pm ET Sunday, Feb. 3. For the first time ever fans watched, voted, shared, tweeted and "liked" their favorite ads on iOS and Android supported mobile devices. Budweiser's Brotherhood Ad Tops USA Today Super Bowl Ad Meter Anheuser-Busch took the top spot in the 25th annual USA TODAY Super Bowl Ad Meter for its Baby Clydesdale ad. Panelists gave the ad a score of 7.76 (on a scale of 0 to 10). In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Ad Meter, USA TODAY expanded the vote to thousands via a password-protected site. More than 7,600 panelists voted on the more than 50 ads that ran during the game. The Five Best Super Bowl Ads of 2013 We have to say we're in complete agreement with Tim Nudd over at AdWeek whose top five Super Bowl ad picks mirror ours exactly. Now, picking the top five Super Bowl ads, of course, is pure speculation and opinion because, of course, the only thing that really matters is did the ad sell any product. And we certainly won't know that for a while, if ever. That minor detail aside, here are our (and Tim's) top five Super Bowl advertising picks for 2013. Here's Will Ferrell's Old Milwaukee Super Bowl Ad This year's Super Bowl will be dubbed The Year of the Kiss. Why? Well two always makes a trend, right? We had Bar Refaeli suck face with a geek in a GoDaddy commercial. And we had Will Ferrell, seemingly on his way home from basketball practice, sucking face with an Asian lady on a bus. The spot aired in Sherman, TX; Ardmore, OK and Glendive, MT. In true clandestine form, the spot isn't even on Old Milwaukee's YouTube channel. A few viewers captured it on their own after, perhaps, being tipped where and when it would air. Ram Truck's Paul Harvey Spot Best Super Bowl Ad of 2013In what will perhaps (and should) ultimately be dubbed this year's best Super Bowl commercial, the late Paul Harvey's famed So God Made A Farmer speech was incorporated into a Ram Truck ad. The words come from a speech Harvey gave in 1978 at the National FAA Convention. The speech is moving and the images that accompany truly encapsulate the message; there are some people out there who work really hard for little money and out of love for their craft. The ad, created by The Richards Group, is brilliantly crafted and carries a powerful message. Likely, it won't rank as high as some of the more humorous spots in the game but that doesn't make it any less great. Oreo Wastes No Time Capitalizing on Super Bowl Power Outage Acting quickly during the 35 minute partial power outage during the Super Bowl, Oreo wipped up an ad which carried the headline You Can Still Dunk in the Dark. Brilliant and quick thinking. Oreo was able to achieve this feat because it's agency, 360i, and the client were all together in one room during the game and could make the necessary quick decisions to result is this ad. Bud Light 'Lucky Chair' Borrows From VW's 'Sunday Afternoon' OK maybe just a little bit. But while we were watching the Bud Light Luck Chair commercial which has a couple of guys taking a friends chair to Stevie Wonder so he can shift the chair's luck giving properties, we can't help but think of VW's 2006 Sunday Afternoon commercial. Watch them both below and tell us whether or not we are on crack. Likely we are. Oprah Delivers Touching Message to Military in Chrysler Super Bowl Ad There is a camp that thinks brands who thank the military for their service are pandering and gratuitous. There are others who think there simply isn't enough we can do to thank out military for their service. Chrysler and Oprah delivered a touching two minute commercial just prior to the second half of the Super Bowl. In the ad, Oprah delivered a strong and touching message to the men and women who serve in our military. She said they are missed. They are needed. They are loved. Oreos Super Bowl Ad Incorporates Instagram The Oreos Super Bowl ad in which a bunch of people in a library argue over whether it's the cookie or the cream that's the best part of the cookie is funny enough. Nice nod to Instagram though it's not entirely clear what the brand wants us to to when we get to Instagram. OK, it's a little clearer once you actually vist the brand on Instagram: OREO Cookie or Creme? This is where it all gets settled. Tag a photo #cookiethis or #cremethis, and we might just re-create it using your favorite part. http://oreo.ly/XpWThI On Thursday, the brand's Instagram account had 2,200 followers. It's now climbed to 30,000 mark. To our knowledge, it's the first time Instagram has been called out in a Super Bowl (or any)ad to date.
