The Top 22 Commercials Ever According to the Emmys
Every advert that has won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Commercial from 1997 to the present day.
As the Emmys awarded their latest Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Commercial to JohnxHannes and Smuggler's CallingJohnMalkovich.com on Sunday, the agency's ad became the 22nd winner of the prize.
As some of the previous winners include all-time great ads for Apple, Old Spice and Nike, we thought it was a perfect time to take a trip back through advertising history to find every commercial that took the prize home. See them all below.
