The YouTube AdBlitz Champion of 2016 is …
Another football season is in the books, but the Big Game ads continue to live on – on YouTube. While there’s been plenty of Monday morning quarterbacking about the best Big Game spots, fans have been weighing in this week by voting for their favorite ads on YouTube AdBlitz.
All the votes have now been tallied, and it’s time to reveal the Top 5 winners. With more brands and more overall ads competing in this year’s YouTube AdBlitz than ever before, the competition was fierce. But one brand rose to the top as the clear-cut fan favorite:
Congratulations to Pokémon! With over three times as many votes as the second place ad, and more votes overall than the other four winners combined, Pokémon has been voted by fans as the YouTube AdBlitz Champion of 2016!
Here are the rest of the Top 5 – all fan favorites as determined by your votes. Second place belongs to T-Mobile’s “Drop The Balls” starring a completely faultless (this time) Steve Harvey:
In third place is … T-Mobile again! This time featuring a very agreeable Drake:
It would be hard to imagine a Big Game ads season without puppies, monkeys or babies. So Mountain Dew Kickstart came to the rescue, snagging fourth place with Puppymonkeybaby:
Finally, KFC became the first brand ever to make the YouTube AdBlitz Top 5 without airing their ad during the Big Game’s national TV broadcast. The ad aired during the CBS live stream of the Big Game, connecting with fans online who then came to YouTube AdBlitz to cast their votes.

YouTube AdBlitz votes are in, and the winner is …
The last great battle for big game ad supremacy was waged last week as votes for your favorite ads came flooding in. Not only was this the biggest year ever for big game ads on YouTube, this was a banner year for the ads on the YouTube AdBlitz channel.
With nearly 40 percent more total votes cast this year than last, this year’s fan favorite received 60 percent more votes than last year’s top pick. And which brand landed on top of the list this year?
Congrats to Nissan, voted by fans to be their Favorite Super Bowl Commercial of 2015. Nissan tugged your heartstrings showcasing their “With Dad” commercial, and garnered the most votes against some very stiff competition to become the YouTube AdBlitz 2015 Champion!
Here are the rest of the top 5 favorite big game ads as determined by your votes: Landing in second place is Clash of Clans’ “Revenge” spot featuring one “Angry Neeson.”
In third, Dodge inspired us with some generational “Wisdom.”
Last year’s winner, Budweiser, had another strong showing with their “Lost Dog” commercial coming in fourth.
And rounding out our top 5 is Jeep, who explored the beauty of the globe with “Beautiful Lands.”
