Super ads: See, vote on your favorite commercials from 2013 Super Bowl

The stakes were high with 30-second spots going for as much as $4 million this year and more than 111-million viewers were tuning in.

About 28 of the 35-plus advertisers released ads early this year, trying to get a head start on capturing the buzz through social media sites.

One of the most popular and touching ads was a very simple Dodge Ram spot that used a speech by former KRMG mainstay Paul Harvey.

You can hear the entire audio from that spot here.
