Top 20 Most Shared Super Bowl Ads Of All Time: The Force Is Strong With Volkswagen

Video marketing firm Unruly has assembled a list of the top 20 most shared Super Bowl ads of all time.

Volkswagen has the most appearances of any brand on the list. The automobile company took four of the top 20 spots, including the No. 1 ranking for its “The Force” video which generated 5.24 million shares.

Unruly’s data is based on the number of shares each video has received on Twitter, Facebook and within the “blogosphere.” Of the top 20 Super Bowl ads, eight represent the automobile industry. Food and beverage brands earned five spots, divided between Budweiser, Doritos and M&M.

Three of the top 20 videos were movie trailers, with Universal’s “Fast and Furious 6,” “Fast Five,” along with Paramount’s “Star Trek: Into the Darkness” all making the list.
