Budweiser broke out the Clydesdales to win USA TODAY Ad Meter 2025, the ninth time the brand has claimed the prize as the Super Bowl's best commercial. The beer brand brought back the beloved horses in its spot titled "First Delivery," featuring a foal's journey to deliver a keg to claim the contest for the first time since 2015.

Either way, USA TODAY's Ad Meter champions have over the years displayed the wide range of approaches that can deem a Super Bowl commercial a big winner in the eyes of the viewing public. Some of the notable ads for the 2025 features the return of Budweiser's beloved Clydesdales and Sydney Sweeney making an surprise appearance in a "When Harry Met Sally" spoof.
