Don’t expect to see a puppy during Bud’s Super Bowl ads

Budweiser’s cheesy “Puppy Love” ad from 2014 is the most popular Super Bowl commercial of the past 50 years, according to a new survey — proving cats may own the Internet, but dogs drive TV ratings.

The spot features a golden Labrador puppy running away from the Warm Springs Puppy Adoption farm and back to its Clydesdale horse friends. The second-most popular commercial, according to the study conducted by TiVo of 18- to 64-year-olds, was “Lost Dog,” also produced for the beer brand.

Sadly, Budweiser won’t be featuring a puppy in ads during next month’s Super Bowl 50 on CBS because the company said the ads didn’t shift beer sales enough.

Budweiser’s 9/11 tribute “Respect” and its “Designated Driver” ads also placed sixth and 10th, respectively, on the most popular list. Budweiser spent around $150 million on Super Bowl ads over the past five years.

In third place was the now-disgraced corporate car giant VW, which won the love of consumers with its spot named “The Force,” starring a little boy dressed in a Star Wars costume trying to exert superpowers. In real life, VW pretended it could work magic by scamming eco-standards efficiency tests.

Doritos snacks clocked three places on the top 10 list, with Coca-Cola and Snickers also charting.

This year’s Super Bowl must top 114.4 million viewers to beat the record NBC broadcast last year. Of course, that was when the New England Patriots beat the Seattle Seahawks.
