    Your favorite bank commercial?

    I would prefer banks use money to pay better interest rates rather than showing commercials, but if they're going to advertise, at least they make it fun. Here are four of my favorite bank commercials. What's your favorite?

    Alec Baldwin's Cap One commercial which ends with Baldwin in the cockpit. His last line was a classic: "That's okay, I've played a pilot before"

    Jimmy Fallon's Cap One commercial with the cute baby who doesn't want 50% more cash and is quite strong :-)

    Ally's old commercials with the kids. There were so many of these, it's hard to pick the best one, but my favorite was the one with the pony.

    Ally's new commercial in which a stranger is asked to watch a suitcase with $100,000. I wonder if they really asked strangers. If not, that guy that watched the money is a good actor.

    My favorite bank commercial was for People's Bank - they always had the tag:
    Member FDIC and the human race.

    Unfortunately, they were bought out about 25 years ago.

      That's a sign of a good commercial when you can remember it after 25 years!

        Aren't the first two commercials for credit cards, not for banks?

          I didn't vote for any of those, and only 2 are bank commercials. The one ad campaign that I've always remembered was for Citibank. The slogan was something to the effect of, "Build a nest egg but remember to have a few omelets along the way."

          I thought that was a great way to say that you need to save for tomorrow but enjoy today too.

            I've never seen/heard any of these commercials. So I can't vote.

              That's why OP gave links to view each commercial.

                Ah, I didn't see that.

                Well, I will still pass - other things I rather do than willingly watch commercials.
