In France there was this TV series called "Culture Pub" (translates to "ad culture"). It used to showcase some of the better ads, talk about them etc. I remember it being a pretty cool watch.

That video was great btw. Definitely a high quality ad. But like others said, one good example doesn't a good industry make. (Or like I said in a recent previous post: The ad industry can burn)
And frankly, that last-second transition to a product placement was pretty off-putting. It would have given me a weird taste in my mouth if you hadn't told me it was an ad from the get go. But this might be a cultural thing, too.
If you want examples of great ads, I really like Jay Foreman's goofy sponsorship sketches on YouTube. Here's a video to get you started:

(By the way, Map Men is a fantastic series, quick plug to his channel…)
