August was a sleepy month for commercials on YouTube, with only five videos posted during the month able to break the 1 million view mark—and two of those just barely.

The three spots that fared best on YouTube and Adweek's monthly Ads Leaderboard were all sports related: Nike's new "Just do it" commercial; NBC Sports' Jason Sudeikis video for its English Premier League coverage; and Jordan Brand's new Blake Griffin spot.

Further down the list were Honda, Motorola, a couple of EA spots—and even a campaign ad from New York City mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio.

The view counts are as of Sept.
