Definitely the Doritos "Crash the Superbowl Pug Attack" commercial. The link below will take you to the ad but I will give a synopsis below as well.

There are several reasons for why this commercial was the most appealing to me rather than the many others but first let's start with what the commercial was. During the ad, there is a young man who has just opened a new bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos and think that it would be fun to tease his pet dog, a Pug from behind the glass door. It shows this man holding a chip and taunting the Pug with it and just having a blast. Then the ad switches cameras to the Pug and it is running in slow motion towards the man behind the door with the chip. This scene keeps switching vantage points between the two and all the time there is an intense orchestration playing in the background to build up the anticipation for what will happen next. The man get's more and more inviting to the Pug as he taunts the pug with his very excited voice. Then, the man's women friend sitting in the living room insists to not hurt her dog. Then, as the Pug reaches a close enough distance, it leaps towards the door. The screen goes into extra slow motion and shows the Pug from behind, and the man looking through the glass door. When all of a sudden the slow motion is gone and in real-time, the Pug busts the door and the man backwards and onto the floor and successfully snatches the Doritos out of the bag with it's little smashed Pug face. This commercial was especially great to me because I have a Pug and I know and understand just how much they desire people food. My Pug in particular is kind of spoiled because of my grandparents and parents always giving her junk food. So, when I saw this commercial, I laughed and it brought me some good memories of the times I've had with my Pug Maggie. In conclusion, when asked what is my favorite Super Bowl commercial from this year, it has to be Pug Attack!
