The UConn Husky running around with a bunch of possibly stolen trophies is what gets me every time. That and the two anchors reading NBA highlights by headlamp and candlelight.
@chrisbg99 To me, the joke there is how calm he is. Normally he was always talking and worked up. With civilization collapsing around him he was as cool as a cucumber.
@@BruiserKC Thank you! I scrolled down to ask about that exact moment. I don't know football, and I figured someone down here in Comment Land knew both who he was and what the joke was. I knew there had to be a joke on that particular player, and maybe the ESPN guy sitting next to him. It seems they're in the basement, since you can't hear the pandemonium upstairs. Generator running the lights, although the computers are off, and the ESPN guy is playing Solitaire while the football player quietly eats out of a can. LOL.
"Follow me, follow me to Freedom!" 😂😂😂 Charlie Steiner is my boy!

i don't think I ever laughed at a youtube comment so hard in my life ... thank you
and a NFL trade
SportsCenter today just used this ad as its opening in reference to the CrowdStrike outage. Well played, ESPN.
The GOAT of the ESPN ads. Period. 🐐
Absolutely!
Yep!❤
This and the "going up?" *NJ devil shakes head no* ad
This commercial is the first thing I thought of when just about every sporting event was cancelled due to Coronavirus.
I love that maniac look in McGuires face
‘Roid rage!
Charley Steiner, Kenny Mayne, Dan Patrick, Stuart Scott, Rich Eisen...ESPN was fantastic in the day.
You know John Randle is smart. A generator and beans.

I just love how folks developed entire personas in the 10 seconds the lights go off.
I can't believe this was 19 yrs ago
I miss ESPN having a sense of humor.

My wife worked on her company's Y2K team. She thought this was hysterical.

I keep forgetting, who's the guy stealing the TV???
If I'm not mistaken that's Knicks legend turned politician Bill Bradley
*who's
@@krlm2280 Dammit.. Good call..
The good ole days of ESPN before loud mouth, politically charged opinion shows destroyed the network.
Before ESPN became liberal crap
Oh bug off.
pipe down dave
Maybe ESPN is "normal" and you have skewed farther right (wrong)??
No one:
This isn’t a conversation we need to have, ever.
