There are many ways that 2012 Super Bowl XLVI retail advertising commercials are being judged as being the best or the worst. Declaring the winners and losers of the Super Bowl XLVI advertising game is not nearly as easy as declaring the clear winner and loser of the Super Bowl game itself.
Since the name of the Super Bowl advertising game is exposure, the best and the worst retail advertising commercials should be able to be judged at least in part by the exposure each of the Super Bowl commercials received, compared with the exposure that other retail Super Bowl ads received. There are few better places to judge exposure than YouTube.
Not only is it possible to measure how many times a particular retail Super Bowl commercial was viewed on YouTube, it's also possible to measure how many of the commercial's viewers were impacted by the commercial enough to click the "like" or "dislike" button after the viewing.
Based on the number of times the commercial was viewed, as of the Monday day after the Super Bowl XLVI game was played, here are the winners in the 2012 Super Bowl retail advertising game:
