In an unprecedented feat, there are also no video game preview ads on this list. Instead, we could tally things up this way: References to classic sci-fi (2), A-list actors (2), animals behaving badly (4), stunts (4) serial killer turned good guy questioning the religious beliefs of another killer (1).

My favorite? Glad you asked. The ad for Byturen that illustrates what you think you look like when you're drunk and what you actually look like. But the website's even better because you can get the same effect by running your cursor over the action. As far as PSAs go, this is powerful stuff. Then again, the lesson of another ad here is that one of those drunken nights might just land you George Clooney.

As always, we thank our friends at Unruly Media for compiling the Mashable Global Ads Chart. In raw numbers, these are the YouTube video ads that the world spent the most time watching in September.
