The best Super Bowl ads that you couldn't see in Canada

We all know the real reason anyone watches the Super Bowl is to see the ads - at least that's what I've observed. There is usually just as much hype leading up to the big day for the over-priced ads as there is for the over-paid players.

I've also noticed a steady decline in the 'awesomeness' factor of the ads. They used to be so dependable, so reliably funny, smart and entertaining. Now they're mostly whacky concepts and more often than not include animals put in human roles. That said, there were some good ones this year, including a few from Doritos and Audi that I found to be pretty funny.

So without further delay, click the read more link to watch some of the best ads we could find.

Don't forget to let us know which were your favs and if we missed any good ones.

Update: Added another Doritos ad - thanks to Gary for pointing it out!

Doritos: House Rules

Another gem from Doritos. I don't want to ruin this one because it may be my new fav.

GoDaddy.com: Spa

This ad makes the list because GoDaddy.com can't stop producing odd ads starring Danica Patrick

Snickers: Game

Hilarious ad that finally answers a question that has been plaguing me for years: Can Betty White run a button-hook? Answer; yes.

Emerald Nuts and Pop Secret: Awesomer

This ad makes the list because it is a little surreal, but it is also called 'Awesomer' - which is something I can get behind.

Doritos: Snack Attack Samurai

Not going to lie, this one caught me off-guard and made me laugh.

CareerBuilder.com: Casual Friday

This ad is funny because not only does it have a great concept, but it actually finds a way to relate back to the product it is advertising.

Google: Parisian Love

Uh - since when does Google need to advertise? I think when your company name becomes a verb, you're set.

Bridgestone: Whale of a Tale

I like this ad because it is what would happen if  'The Hangover' and 'Free Willy' had a baby.

Dodge Charger: Man's Last Stand

Love the concept - now if only it was for a car people actually bought.

Hyundai Sonata: 10 Years Strong

It is 10 years from now and Brett Favre has not yet retired. Fact or fiction?

Coke: Sleepwalker

Coke finally puts out an ad that doesn't contain creepy animated polar bears.

Audi: Green Car

This is probably my favorite ad out of the bunch. Very well executed concept that is very topical and current.

Kia: Big Game

I am still not 100% what just happened. But I like the soundtrack.

Intel: Lunch Room

Get it? The poor robot is so technologically advanced - but the chip is even more advanced. Fun ad, but why the heck is Intel even advertising?

Taco Bell: It Rocks, It Rocks

Charles Barkley quasi-rapping. What else could you possibly need?

E*TRADE: Girlfriend

The popular E*TRADE baby is back, this time with some real-life issues.
