I've used SMF occasionally:

http://www.simplemachines.org/

In fact, the first link in my sig uses it now if you'd like to see an example.

It's pretty decent for free software. It can be a little buggy, but it's moddable and the support community is both friendly and helpful.

vB is paid, as is IPB, but are both the best paid-options at the moment.

Free options include MyBB, SMF and some other newer ones about (e.g. see HotScripts). Avoid phpBB IMO.

If you're going to be a big forum board, then definitely take vB or IPB, it will be worth the money in the long term.

I think vBulletin is the best out there - for security and for mods.
Here are a couple more examples:

They look different to the youtube ones. What are the clicks like on those Alien, compared to regular adsense?
