For me, this ("Chevy Happy Grad") is the best 2012 Super Bowl commercial. 



Funny thing is how it was produced.

A 26-year old Long Island resident and filmmaker, Zarch Borst, produced it and sent it to Chevrolet’s Route 66 Super Bowl ad contest, beating out submissions by independent filmmakers from around the world.

GM asked filmmakers to depict life's journey and how Chevrolet is there along the way. Borst´s ad was chosen from nearly 200 entries that came from across the world.

Zarch Borst won $25,000 and the Big Game slot. He has been producing films since his childhood and founded his own production company, Goat Farm Film, based in New York.
