YouTube's 10 Most-Shared Ads in May

"Hey, man, did you catch that new coconut water commercial? The one where Charles Barkley plays basketball against a minotaur?"

"Wait, what? No! I definitely would've remembered seeing that. Here, let me check YouTube real quick ..."

Does that sound like a conversation you've had at some point? YouTube is undoubtably a hotspot for sharing ads with friends -- each month, millions of page views are directly obtained from commercial views alone.

Our friends at Unruly Media put together a list of last month's most-shared ads on the website. Flip through the gallery above to see the top 10. Just like April, May's most viral ad was Dove's "Real Beauty Sketches," which has been a viral sensation since it first hit the web two months ago. In total, it's amassed almost four million shares across all social networks.

Other hot ads from last month include Evian's "baby&me," Kmart's "Ship My Pants" and Samsung's "Hands-On With the Galaxy S4."
