Just as last year, I’m posting my own ranking of the best Super Bowl video commercials (this time I’m doing 5, not 3 like last year). However, in 2011 I’m happy to have a chance to do it not after the big game, but seven hours before it. Thanks to Mashable, we know which video ads we’re gonna see well before the Super Bowl.

So, 6.5 hours before the start of the big game, here’s my ranking of the top 5 video ads, these 1-minute-or-under masterpieces:

#5 — Careerbuilder “Parking Lot” commercial

#4 — Kia Optima “One Epic Ride” ad

#3 — Doritos “Pug Attack” commercial

#2 — Volkswagen “The Force” video ad

#1 — Cars.com “The Reviews Are In” commercial

Have my picks matched yours?

I’ll be honest with you: I haven’t watched one second of the Super Bowl. I was shoveling my snow after the super snow weekend. I’m just not a big fan of (American) football (I’m a soccer man). What I did watch, however, were all of the Super Bowl commercials. Those that know me, know that I’m a big fan of well-put-together-ads, and here’s my personal rating of the top three Super Bowl 2010 ones:

#3 – Bridgestone “Whale of a Tale” commercial

#2 – Doritos “House Rules” commercial

#1 – Volkswagen “PunchDub” commercial

Have I not picked your favorite ones? If so, feel free to post about them in the comments area blow.
