Michael B. Jordan serving as the body for Amazon’s Alexa was the most viewed Super Bowl ad on the YouTube AdBlitz portal, tallying over 77 million views.

AdBlitz program lead Abby Loar shared the five most viewed Big Game ads on the portal as of Wednesday, Feb, 10, at 11:59 p.m. ET:

  2. T-Mobile: While not technically a Super Bowl spot, since it was not allowed to air due to a “protected rights deal” with Verizon, the game’s official telecommunications sponsor, this ad told the fictional tale of how a spotty video call connection led to quarterback Tom Brady and tight end Rob Gronkowski joined the Super Bowl 2021 champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
