For all the fear surrounding ad blocking, there are still a lot of people watching ads. 

Consider Geico's Unskippable pre-roll ad: It currently has more than 8.1 million views on YouTube. Or look to Android's ad featuring unlikely animal friends: It became the most shared ad of all time, with more than 6.4 million shares. 

Whether inspired by an innovation in technology or simply using the corner of a building to tell a story, this year's best in advertising made us pay attention -- and even a little jealous. Check out some of our favorites below:

These ads made headlines for cleverly using the YouTube pre-roll ad format, which you can skip after five seconds.

This surprising ad makes perfect use of the product while also addressing gender norms. 

9) Android | Friends Furever

This was the most shared ad of the year thanks to the adorableness of unlikely animal pals.
