My favorite commercial is the Baby Clydesdale: It’s got heart strings, cuteness, just a little bit of branding and even some audience participation. You can name the baby by tweeting #clydesdales names.
Levi is the name I’m going to tweet them, in memory of Levi the Clydesdale in Portage County Ohio. He was the biggest horse around.

Update: Budweiser posted a new photo of the little foal. Way too cute!
I didn’t hear the Name of the Baby.. I thought it was suppose to be announced tonight at the Super Bowl
I think that they want you coming back for more… It hasn’t been announced yet.
Twelve hours after the Superbowl, 5.4 million views on YouTube, almost 5K comments on YouTube, 16K shares of the commercial post on Facebook (and 10K more of the extended version,) and I’m not sure what the number of tweets, retweets about #clydesdales.
They released the ad on the 31st to give it time to build and then a terrific crowdsourcing opportunity. You’ll have to keep checking back to find out the name of the foal.
Wonderful post. Loved the ad, but also really liked the Oprah veterans, and the “farmer” ads.
