The crop of Super Bowl commercials 2021 used a large contingent of A-lest celebrities in front of and behind the camera and contained major Hollywood brands. It is not surprising that they dominated the game of the Super Bowl ads on YouTube during the game.
Google on Sunday night released data on the Top 10 Most Viewed Ads Worldwide on its 7 to 19 hour PT video platform.
At the top of the list is the Alexa ad by Michael B. Jordan, the Jeep ad by Bruce Springsteen and the Edward Scissorhands sequel to Cadillac with Timothée Chalamet and Winona Ryder.
Also in the Top 10, there was another setback to the early 1990s, the Uber Eats track by the Wayne’s World duo, accompanied by Cardi B; the David Fincher-manufactured Anheuser-Busch ad; Doritos is 2D Matthew McConaughey; the star-studded Paramount + ad; and trailers for Marvel / Disney +’s The falcon and the winter soldier and Amazon Prime Videos Come to America 2.
