In Pamplona they have the Running of the Bulls, but here at ESPN...

[Broken Parachute]

**tons of people are running around a corner into a long hallway, being chased by the 4 sausages from the Brewers sausage race**

Stuart Scott: "Is it fun? Maybe not. But is it important...?"

hahaha this is the best commercial ESPN has done in awhile. They always have great commercials though. What's your favorite ESPN commercial?

[preppyak]

The one for ESPN mobile with Reggie Bush is solid

And, the new Shaun White one may be even funnier than the sausages

"I heard it too...it was loud"

Best part of it...he's chastizing the anchor for stealing LeBron's chair in the earlier commercial...he says something like "If you're unhappy with your seat, come and tell me about it..."


The archives btw...http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/thisissportscenter/archive

I still think the Y2k is the best they will ever do

[Broken Parachute]

hahahaha that Shaun White one is awesome.

I like the Fire Drill one where Big Ben is taking people out of the building too.

[Chriz2z]

The one with the spelling bee kid and Scott Van Pelt:

Pujols

Team?
Could you give me the country of origin?
Could you use it in a sentence?
Could you give me the country of origin again?

I'm just gonna get it online.

P U

Got it.

J

We're good.

I always chuckle after that one.

[dekdog11]

didnt there used to be a commercial with old guys on it, or am i just imagining that. i dont really remember what was on it, but i think i remember old guys on it. maybe im nuts.

[Flags of Dawn]

i thought the one when Scott Van Pelt stole Lebron's chair was hilarious...

"are you sure you didnt steal my chair?"

[NetNerdsRevenge]

I really liked the one where the kid grew up with the Cardinals blanket and then passed it on to his kid. I thought those "without sports..." series was clever, but after the Cardinal one they sucked.

[preppyak]

haha...yeah...that's his name. The new Shaun White one is Scott Van Pelt getting chastized for stealing LeBron's chair...so good

Yeah....those were some awesome commercials. The animated one for the Buffalo Bills, where the play gets called back and they lose the game, taht was a good one

[Flags of Dawn]

i caught the tail end of it but i didnt get what it was about...i'll have to be on the lookout now.

also, the one where Andy Roddick is playing with the tennis ball, and the mascot gets annoyed and slaps the ball away was probably one of the funnier ones recently.

That was the umass mascot, my school.

was that after or before the Cardinal one? I think it was after and if so I have to retract my statement because it was a good one. The commercial with the runners sucks, though.

[Broken Parachute]

I like this one haha

[Goodbye Forever]

I can't find out a video of it on YouTube or ESPN, but there was one commercial way back when they started these things called "Don't Walk". I might be the only one who remembers it, but that one was ridiculous.

[LeftWideOpen]

That was the umass mascot, my school.

which umass do you go to? amherst?

[Split2nd]

hahaha LeBron's chair rules all.

"Good luck... finding your chair LeBron"

[bigmike]

i like the one where Michael Buffer is standing at the front desk and the lights go down and he introduces whoever walks in the front door of the office or whatever. that's a good one.

[we are cured]

my favorite was from way back in the day, like 1994 or something, when they had this anti-traveling (in basketball) song called 'don't walk..' all of the mascots, refs, and espn people were singing it. the chorus went like, "don't walk..don't walk..big men you know who you are (and in the background theres like a high pitched voice that sings 'patrick ewing does it every day!)." i can't find it anywhere, though. does anyone else remember that?

[preppyak]

an old favorite of mine...let me see if I can find it on Youtube then...it was Evander Holyfield walking around the office yelling "Come out and get your whooping Charlie"...they referenced it when doing the highlights of a Holyfield fight or interview like 6 years later, I was dying.

But...in further news...lets watch the ESPN Blooper real, featuring Charlie Steiner mostly:

Why dont you guys mention the old sportscenter commercials. The new ones with lebron and shaun white are weak in comparison. The old ones are better because they focused more on the anchors.

I found two sites with a lot of sporstcenter videos, all older ones.
http://espn.go.com/thisissportscenter/sc25k/s/

My personal faves there are the perfect show and turf. In the perfect show, they dan patrick is doin amazing, in between breaks the other anchor won't look at him and puts his suit jacket over his head. Patrick finally says a double negative and the perfect show is called off, haha (not sure if its patrick, i have a mac and the site wont work for me, im going off memory.
Turf is awesome too, people are going down with knee injuries from the carpet so they install natural grass at the studios.

http://www.sportscenteraltar.com/multimedia/video.asp
this one has a bunch too, my fav on this is the one where they sign a kid right out of HS to be an anchor because the scouting report was amazing.
"Jimmy Key? What is he like 45 years old? I could hit him, he sucks, he sucks..." (cut to scene of him announcing his retirement) haha.

I hadn't seen the 2nd link before...some awesome ones there. I had forgotten all about the "Which Sportscenter" series.

"No matter what, I crawl out of bed for the 11am Sportscenter"

Anyone know which one has "Come out and Get YOur Whooping Charlie"...which commercial it was

HAHAHA....and the Dan Patrick "Perfect Show"...haha

[wessa]

this has some more that the other espn link didnt have

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/thisissportscenter/archive#

[wessa]

http://espn.go.com/media/2000/q4/goldenyears.mov

oh man, i just saw this for the first time and it may be the funniest commercial ever. They have old timers day at the studio, and they have all this old dudes doing the sporstcenter show, its great.

"Honus Wagner worked for peanuts!! Literally, he worked for peanuts!"

THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

THANK YOU

[wessa]

i was just thinking, they should release all the sportscenter commercials on a dvd. I would buy it, there are probably at least 50 commercials, and they could have a lot of behind the scenes stuff like how they get the ideas and commentary from the anchors, they would sell A LOT of copies.
