Even on AOL, Charlie Brown’s Only as Good as Third Place

AOL just now released its results for the top-ranked ads in its 6th Annual AOL Super Sunday Ad Poll, sponsored by Verizon. Here’s the top five:

1. Budweiser Clydesdale/dalmatian ad
2. Bridgestone squirrel spot
3. Coca-Cola’s Balloons
4. Life Water’s Thriller
5. E-Trade’s talking baby spot

“Advertisers bring their ‘A’ games to the Super Bowl commercials, and Budweiser scored an impressive victory this year as the best of the best,” gushed GM Derrick Heggans of AOL Sports. Nothing new there.

Gotta say we’re glad the Coke Balloons spot made it into somebody’s top five. But what’d we tell you? There’s no beating Rocky. Maybe next time, Charlie Brown.
