Many most popular YouTube ads will never have been seen on TV. YouTube’s top 5 ads were not designed with TV in mind. Budweiser, Always # like a girl and Nike Football brands each cracked the list with ads made originally for the web.

If YouTube’s top 5 list is any indication, advertisers are starting to realize what works online isn’t always what works on TV. They’re also starting to take advantage of digital as a way to shoot ads that would be hard to imagine ever airing on TV and it’s paying off.

YouTube ranked the ads primarily based on how many paid and non-paid views they garnered and how much of a video people typically watched. It also considered other factors such as likes, shares and total watch time.

Following are the 5 most watched ads so far on YouTube:
