While Drew Brees and Sean Payton left little doubt as to which football team was best on this 44th Super Bowl Sunday, the victor in the all-important battle for Super Bowl commercial supremacy is still very much in the hands of the viewing public.Last night's ad wars started with a whimper when the much-anticipated Tim Tebow anti-abortion spot failed to be particularly controversial. However, it did feature Tebow coming out of nowhere to tackle the woman who birthed him after a difficult pregnancy.
Tebow's was far from the only Super Bowl ad that featured someone getting unexpectedly hit or smacked. There was also an abundance of animals, pantsless-ness and talking babies, a bit of geriatric abuse, and another rebuke to Jay-Z's assertion that Auto-tune has died.

Best ad isn't even included on your list. It was the Anheuser Busch ad with the horse and the young bull.
Also better than what you listed were the two Doritos: the one with the dog getting revenge and the one called "Playing Nice". "Get your hand off my mom and my Doritos".

This year and all the other years previous the ANHEUSER BUSCH ads are FANTASTIC. Those are the ones I always look forward to. But the E-trade commercials with the babies make me laugh out loud. Those two are my favorite ones.
