Favorite "This is SportsCenter" ad

I like the big buddy one:

The one where Holyfield is looking for Charlie Steiner. "Charlie, come on out and get your whoopin'."

The one where they say we really do cover sports, not just entertainment.

ESPN died in 1993.

I love the one where Roger Federer is talking to one of the Sportscenter anchors (Neal, I think his name is) who wonders where he would rank among other Sportscenter anchors if they were ranked like tennis players.

"Where do you think I´d be ranked?" he asks Federer.

"I don´t know," says Federer. "I don´t want to get into it."

"Come on. Pick a number between one and ten."

"I´m not sure you´d be in the top ten."

"I´m in the top ten, Roger."

how about dan patrick's almost-perfect show... "did he just say 'can't never?'" "that's a double-negative!"

the one where the mascot can't decide which bathroom to use...

as another poster said, the one where they install a natural surface in the office...

stuart scott coming up with taglines, "it ain't iffy if it's griffy!"...

and, even though it's not a sportscenter commercial, but rather an intro to the show, Keith Olbermann vs. Evil Keith. Classic!

after saying that the catch phrases just come natrually, we see kenny mayne sitting in a production room replaying a griffey home run over and over with a different catch phrase... "YAHTZEE!" "Call it a homer, simpson, because the pitcher just went DOH!"

That's good.

I like the new ones with Drew Brees blocking the entrance to the office with the huge float he's driving.

That's my favorite one. Being from Louisiana I'm a huge Saints fan.

The one where the wrestlers from the WWF invade the studios and demand airtime. Dan Patrick ends up cornered by some big wrestler.

More recently, I like the one with Adam Venitari trying to get through the metal detector, but can't because of all of the superbowl rings. Jim Kelly is standing behind him fuming.

I think the Steve Irwin one was my favorite.

Next would be a pretty old one. It shows the feed coming from them taping SC and it keeps going static for just a second every once in awhile and they can't figure out what's doing it. Then the camera goes to outside the studio and Dan Patrick and one of the other guys are chipping golf balls into the satellite.

The one with Peyton and Eli fighting like kids (flicking the ear, wet-willy, etc)while getting a tour of the studio with their Dad and older brother is classic.

I could not stop laughing at the one with the corporate basketball league and they play the New Haven Plumbers Association. ESPN has Cherokee Parks and Juan Howard on their team dunking and setting picks.

One of the plumbers complains about ringers and Kenny Mayne says:

"They're interns. Just play ball plumber boy."

The one where Bob Ley and Keith Olbermann are interviewing Bill Bradley for a job on sportscenter. Bradley is listing all his credentials... 10 years with the Knicks, U. S. Senator, etc. Bob and Keith don't look impressed. It ends with the dialogue:

Olbermann: Have you ever spoken in front of a large audience?

Bradley: I did give the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention.

Olbermann: No, I mean a large audience.

Also the one where all the athletes are handing off the video tape as it's rushed to the studios. When Bill Bradley gets it and starts running through the hallways. He stops at a bulletin board when he sees an announcement about a tax seminar.
