So far my favorite, aside from charlie steiners, follow me, follow me to freedom


is for the spelling bee.....the cords for "Under Pressure" as kids spell it out letter by letter and they get to the "E" at the end of pressure, the little kid just sits their dumbstruck

One of my favorites was when Keith Olberman interviewed Bill Bradley.

Keith: Have you ever spoken in front of a large group or audience?
Bill: I spoke at the Democratic National Convention.
Keith: I meant a large group or audience.

The best part of all these commercials is that, with the newer ones in particulary, there also seems to be some random mascot making a cameo.

I really liked the one where one of the announcers (can't remember which one) blew out his knee in the hallway, so they put natural grass in the office.

I love the "There's no crying in baseball" one with Harold Reynolds and Karl Ravech. :lol:

I like that spelling bee one as well.

A couple of my favorites both involve Lennox Lewis. The first one, where he and Kenny Mayne are in the break room and Kenny is telling him all about Pokemon and Digimon. Lewis has a half confused, half "I'm about to beat the hell out of you" look on his face.

My other is where they have the Star Wars characters on the set. Lewis is walking through the tape room and has to, very slowly, walk by Darth Vader. Vader has his light saber out pointing toward Lewis and slowly turns and stares at him as he walks by.

I also like the Andy Roddick one where the mascot swats the tennis ball off of his raquet.

The first one that comes to mind is Lance Armstrong on the power generating bike.

It's hard to pick a favorite...pretty much every single one of those commercials is genius.

I love the one where the sportscenter guys are playing b-ball against a bunch of 4th graders and stuart scott (i think) stuffs the ball right in the kids face....damn that was funny. Another good one is where they have all the pro's come in to transfer the taped sportscenter tape across the complex to the control room...I think drew bledsoe was in there but i really can't remember who else, but it was funny.


I've never seen the spelling bee one....I fell left out :?

Awesome. I had never seen the "Gaylord's goo" commercial before. I liked Steve Levy's reaction to finding the "goo" on his keyboard: "Argh, Gaylord"

Steiner with the one where he was the pool boy on Melrose place. He was traded for Andrew Shue. He is excellent on that one.
