BEST COMMERCIALS FROM SUPER BOWL XLVI
Children of the 80’s proved to be a successful demographic when marketing ideas for commercials, as Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Star Wars both shaped the two most popular commercials from yesterday. Hondo came out strong with “Matthew’s Day Off” and Volkswagen also did well with “The Bark Side” and “The Dog Strikes Back.” But which one was crowned the king?
Hulu’s AdZone 2012 took votes, and while “Matthew’s Day Off” was the most watched, “The Bark Side” was the most beloved commercial that ran during the Superbowl.
Hulu teamed up with Ad Age and Toyota to “build the ultimate Super Bowl commercial experience.” Basically, you can watch them all for free, even if you didn’t bother to see them during the actual Super Bowl.

Because this was on Hulu, we have reason to believe people were skewed in voting and that’s why Will Arnett took first place in celebrity cameos over not just Matthew Broderick but also Jeremy Seinfeld, Adriana Lima and David Beckham.
