What are the best TV ads.... series, not individual ads?
My vote:

1. Only in Vegas.

2. AFLAC

3. Royal Bank of Scotland ("Less talk, more action"... or something like that)

1. CITIBANK

3. Yes, the Emerald Nuts ads are very funny.
And, with all these ads, you know what the "product" is, which is not always true.

4. Geico
The first ads where you were drawn in to thinking you were actually seeing a valid ad i.e. homeowners buying a new house, bald man getting a hair growtihtreatment from a doctor, etc -- they were hilaious and CLASSIC and I will never forget Geico because of them. The newer ads suck i.e. dancing gheko etc.

5. I agree 100% on the GEICO ads.
Almost all the ones that feature the gekko suck.

Some of the ones with the "baldness" doc are pretty funny.

6. "Need to get away?" Southwestern Airlines.
My friend and I were just talking about this last night. We were recalling a day at work a few years ago where, everytime someone was badmouthing someone else, that person was walking right up behind their shoulder. It brought these commercials to mind...

7. Definitely AFLAC.
I love those ads; that duck is great. I especially liked the one with Yogi Berra and the one when the duck joined the women in synchronized swimming.
