The Top 5 - 2nd Edition
The Top 5 Best Sports (and Sports-Related) Commercials (currently running)
(in no particular order)
by Brian
1. Tom Emanski's videos
It is not possible to leave this commercial out. Running since the early '90s, Mr. Emanski has one of the longest-running sports commercials in the history of television. These videos will make your kids play better. Tom would know, he led AAU teams to back-to-back-to-back AAU national championships. Oh, and they're endorsed by Fred McGriff. Cheap grandpa hat's off to this dynasty.
2. Miller Lite's "Man Law" commercials
These are hilarious. There's not a ton more to say about them. It's extremely well-casted, and I really do like the chemistry they all have with each other, with Burt Reynolds as the leader. Plus, one of my personal heroes, Aron Ralston, appears in some of them. Google him if you don't know him. Excellent work, Miller.
3. Coors Light's Press Conference commercials
These are very well made. It's still very hard to tell whether or not they took actual clips of press conferences and edited them in. It doesn't really matter, because they're just as hilarious either way. And you cannot tell me that it produced one of the best commercial facial expressions ever, thanks to Bill Walsh.
4. ESPN's SportsCenter TV commercial franchise
These are hands down some of the most hilarious sports commercials ever, making people believe that ESPN anchors and athletes all mingle in the same place. Not to mention they're all such clever commercials dealing with actual aspects of the athletes' personalities and anchors' quirks. Typical, ESPN makes a good product. Hmm...
5. Just for Men Haircolor featuring Walt "Clyde" Frazier and Keith Hernandez
This is not necessarily a good commercial. It deals with the ridiculous concept of Big Brother-type spying by former athletes, who run a play-by-play and color commentary of poor "Mr. Graybeard" trying to get a date. "Reeeeeeeeeee, jected!!!!!!" Such overacting, but such fun. Thanks, former All-Stars.
Honorable Mention: Reebok's Terry Tate, Office Linebacker
This only gets an honorable mention because it's not currently running. But, this provided one of the most side-splitting sports commercials in the history of all mass communication.
