YouTube 2014 Super Bowl commercial Ad Blitz

Every year during the Super Bowl ad companies try to catch everyone's attention for 30 seconds. Some years have fared better than others. Nearly 50 commercials, at a record $4 million each, it's interesting to see what they get for their money. Jaguar shelled out 60 seconds for airtime, plus another $5 million to alert audiences via Google and other outlets for the spots airing, according to the Wall Street Journal. 

YouTube is doing their yearly Ad Blitz voting. You can watch the commercials that aired during the game and vote on the ones that you liked.

Some of the highlights were the two Doritos ads, which were voted on to air out of five of their commercials.

RadioShack hitting the 80s vibe featuring some cool cameos. 

The Muppets and Terry Crews for Toyota.

T-Mobile is still on the hunt to break up contracts. They featured a song from Disney's Robin Hood cartoon, and had a funny little jab at overpaid movie stars.

Oikos Greek Yogurt was back with John Stamos, and a little help from his friends. I won't give away the spoilers.

Audi had the Doberhuahua.

Microsoft is trying to show us how empowering technology can be.

Squarespace is showing what the internet currently is, and what it could be.
