2013 Super Bowl Ad Meter Results: 10 Most Popular

Feb 042013

USA Today conducted their annual Super Bowl Ad Meter to determine the most popular commercials shown during last night’s championship game between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers and the results are official.

The big winner was a 60-second Anheuser-Busch ad spot where a magnificent Budweiser Clydesdale horse and his trainer are reunited. It played in the third quarter and received the highest rating of the evening.

Edged out by a nose was Proctor & Gambles Tide commercial. The 60-second ‘Miracle Stain’ ad aired during the final quarter and featured a guy who got pizza sauce on his shirt — the red stain turned out to be a perfect likeness of Joe Montana.

Third place went to a feel good ad by the makers of Dodge RAM trucks that featured Paul Harvey’s moving tribute extolling the virtues of farmers. It also ran during the fourth quarter and was one of the longest commercials of the night, a whopping 120-seconds.

Check out the rest of the list below:

Beyonce and the Harbaugh Brothers All Fired Up

Feb 032013

With Super Bowl XLVII just hours away, Beyonce are about to hit the biggest stage of her career.

Bey and Destiny’s Child will rock the 2013 Pepsi Halftime Show. The popular entertainer, aka Sasha Fierce, promises she’ll be performing live. In fact, she claims “I was born to do this.”

It leaked early that Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams were planning to reunite with Beyonce but the big question remains … will Jay-Z end up on stage sometime during the show that is expected to be watched by 150 million people?

San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, 49, will go up against Baltimore Ravens head coach, 50-year-old John Harbaugh. The match up will go down in history as the first time that siblings will coach competing Super Bowl teams.

Jack and Jackie Harbaugh know that one of their children will be victorious in New Orleans and another will fall short. What’s a mother to do?

She told reporters during a press conference on Friday, “We’re so excited for John and Jim to be in this situation but we’re also really excited for the players and their families. This is a huge event for them. We’re going to hug both of them and tell them how proud we are of them and their teams.”

When asked how her sons differ, she responded, “Really, they’re more similar than they are different. They love their children very much, they’ve done a lot of community work and they are very caring individuals.”

Jack and Jackie plan to remain neutral, as in ‘no cheering’ during the biggest NFL contest of their lives. That seems like mission impossible … but you can bet the cameras will be focusing on the family throughout the CBS telecast.

Feb 022013

Taco Bell’s 2013 Super Bowl ad features the wild and wacky world of senior citizens after they are tucked in at the retirement home.

The old people sneak out of their beds to a waiting vehicle and go for a joy ride through the city. They strip down for a dip in a residential swimming pool, light off firecrackers on doorsteps and get their dance on at a local club.

Next they visit a tattoo parlor for a late night ink session before noshing on a Taco Bell feast while lounging on the hood of their car. Their revere is temporarily interrupted when a police car rolls through and gives them the stink eye.

‘Viva Young’ indeed! Check out the 60 second commercial below:

Go Daddy has created yet another sexy Super Bowl ad, this one featuring gorgeous Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli.

In a 30-second ad spot dubbed ‘Smart Meets Sexy, NASCAR racer and Go Daddy spokeswoman Danica Patrick sets the stage by describing the website with the help of Bar, representing the sexy part of the business equation and her nerdy co-star Jesse Heiman as the smart side.

She declares, “Together, they’re perfect.” On cue they make out as he flushes to the nth degree.

Heiman claims it took 45 takes to get that 5 second kiss just right. We’ve also learned that CBS rejected two steamier versions as inappropriate for the masses. When they finally got it right Jesse said he felt like he won “the championship of men.”

Check it out and let us know if you think this Go Daddy ad will score points with Super Bowl viewers:
