The path to Super Bowl 50 continued with last weekend’s wild-card games and Tivo is helping the countdown to the NFL’s biggest game by focusing on everyone’s favorite part, the ads.

The DVR service’s research and analytics arm surveyed Americans between the ages of 18 and 64 to narrow a list of 100 ads down to the top ten to be aired during the championship game.

Budweiser dominates the list, as do ads featuring animals and children. The panel also showed a strong preference for new ads over classics, with the exception of Mean Joe Green’s famous Coca-Cola ad.
