What good Super Bowl commercials were there?
We all know that commercials are the most important reason for watching the Super Bowl for a lot of people.
This year, I happen to be in Brasil, and the only thing on TV here is soccer! So, yes, I'm kind of using this question as a way to snag easy links to the best of this years commercials (assuming there are any), BUT please use this thread to hash out your opinions on which ones were good or not. Maybe there were some awful ones too?

Try youtube.
@jsimsace: Read my question. I openly admitted to using the woot question system both as a way to get easy links, and create a healthy atmosphere to discuss the commercials. This medium is better than dredging the bowels of YouTube. :3
for sure the chevy ad.
"...He drove a Ford."
Don't bother looking for good Superbowl commercials on youtube. There weren't any. Not this year anyway.
I liked the m&m's commercial
That m&m's commercial got a chuckle - but the greek yogurt commercial had the whole room cracking up.
The Kia Optima Turbo "dream car" ad was right up there. In my mind, it was the best one of the night (but the bar was pretty low): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHZbXvts0LE
The one thing I didn't get is why is Adriana Lima waving a checkered flag at the "starting line"
Here is a link to some of the commercials:

Please don't take offense at my short response. Realizing that you were in a foreign country I just tried to suggest the most obvious site to check. In all fairness, you didn't rule out youtube as an answer. Peace.
@maggie3052: Yeah this year was really disappointing, there weren't any really memorable commercials.
I liked a few ads, the VW dog one was good. The Fiat one was very good but the car is all fail. The Audi commercial early on with the vampires was good but I loathe those flipping annoying HID lights.
I hated the GoDaddy ads because I thoroughly hate that dirty bastard company. And the worst ad was a locally aired one for some disaster recovery service that, no lie, showed a kid torching his toys with a can of hair spray and a lighter. Next scene he had burned down his house. And, even worse, he winks into the camera. What in the hell did that ad just teach my kids?
My favorite was the Seinfeld Acura commercial, but I didn't really like any other ads this year.
All the ads are up now on youtube. I personally liked the Sonic ad by Chevy cause they were all real stunts!

@gojomoso: Loved the Chevy ad. My son did point out though, and I agreed, at least one of the "survivors" should have been female. Continuation of the species and all.
@mhodges: Hahahaha good point. You know, those guys didn't exactly look like the brightest bulbs (I find pickup truck typecasting in commercials to be pretty funny and a little too true).
The greek yogurt one was good as was m&m's. The rest were underwhelming, especially the 5 each that bud light and coke had. Quality > quantity.
I think Sketchers had the best commercial with the dog which had me laughing out loud, though I think they ruined it with the dance at the end, should have just crossed the finish line.
I liked the Hyundai ad where all the employees sing the theme from Rocky a capella.
And any ad (in this case, the yogurt ad) where John Stamos gets headbutted in the face is instant win.
