One of my all-time favorite ad campaigns. For Holiday Inn by Fallon from 1999-2001 featuring your favorite 37-year-old slacker — Mark L. Harvey (brilliantly portrayed by Ross Brockley) — who lives with his family and argues that kids should stay free when his parents ask him to pay rent.

Also featuring Janet Carroll as Mom and Romany Malco as the Holiday Inn front desk clerk (6:12)

I'm not sure if I got the sequence right but it seems to flow in chronological order. Whatever happened to great campaigns like this? IMO, the entire campaign should've gotten multiple Clios (especially Grandma!). Enjoy!
