Top "This Is Sportscenter" Commercials

This has been done before, most notably by bleacherreport.com, but their article was posted in 2009, and since then we have had a host of new and hilarious "This Is Sportscenter" commercials.  I will do my best to rank the Top 5 commercials of all-time, with the criteria being simply how funny they are.  Now, there are very many "This Is Sportscenter" commercials.  I tried to watch all of them, but soon realized that it was an uphill battle.  So I trust that the ESPN Youtube page provided me with the greatest hits.  Without further ado, the Top 5 "This Is Sportscenter" commercials of all-time.

5. Scott Van Pelt and Jimmy Rollins


My favorite "This is Sportscenter" commercials are funny because of one or two hilarious lines.  This one has a couple.

4. Arnold Palmer


Simple yet funny, Arnold Palmer making an Arnold Palmer comes in at #4.

3. Landon Donovan


The best part is that he gets a red card for saying "I didn't even do anything."

2. Manny Ramirez


The performances of Jay Harris and Steve Levy are what make this commercial great. 

1. David Ortiz Betrayal


Put nicely, I hate the Red Sox.  So how did members of this franchise end up claiming the top two spots in my rankings?  They're both hilarious. 

Honorable Mentions


I'd love some feedback on this one.  Did I miss a top 5 commercial?  Do you think the rankings should be reorganized?  Were any of the honorable mentions deserving of more than just a mention?  Also, in case copyrights keep the top videos from being viewed here, the links for each one, in order, are posted below.
