Now that the Giants are awarded the Super Bowl XLVI title, Hulu AdZone users have named this year’s Super Bowl commercial winners.

Nostalgia trumped, and the fact that really good movies like Ferris Bueller's Day Off are a rarity these days saw the real winner with Honda’s “Matthew’s Day Off” and Volkswagen’s “The Dog Strikes Back.”

Bueller ultimately beat the Dog, but only by a hair, and the overall most liked ad on Hulu AdZone was Volkswagen’s “The Bark Side” preview ad.

The votes have been tallied across the Super Bowl ads currently on Hulu’s AdZone 2012. Votes were counted as of 11:00 pm PT Sunday, Feb. 5 / 2:00 am ET Monday, Feb. 6.

Also note, Universal Studios Hollywood debuted the Super Bowl commercial for Transformers™:  The Ride-3D! In addition, they’ve just launched a brand new Transformers skinned YouTube page in anticipation of their thrilling ride which will open this May!

Also Battleship:

Peter Berg (Hancock) produces and directs Battleship, the epic-scaled action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force.  Inspired by Hasbro's classic naval combat game and starring Taylor Kitsch, Brooklyn Decker, Alexander Skarsgård, Rihanna, Asano Tadanobu, and Liam Neeson, Battleship hits theaters on May 18, 2012.
