Super Bowl advertising: Which ad is really the best?

Adrants.com gives us the lowdown:


"No Clear Winner Among Super Bowl Commercials


There were no standouts,commercially speaking, in last night's Super Bowl. Unless of course, you believe USA Today's Ad Meter which ranked the Betty white/Abe Vigoda number one. Or if you believe the Mullen/radian6 Brand Bowl which, through social media comment and positive sentiment, gave top honors to Doritos (the brand, not an individual spot). Or if you place credence in Bob Garfield's watch-them-all-before-the-game approach then the top slot goes to Audi."

Plenty of sites to view the ads; here is the USA Today site: http://www.usatoday.com/money/advertising/admeter/2010admeter.htm
