Link to the original video: • The Best 'This is Spor...
Those costumed characters are famous mascots from college and the pros.
A lot of these jokes, you would’ve had to really be in tune with US sports and in the 2000’s and known the athletes personalities a bit to get. Glad you liked it tho!
6 months late but yeah... I was dying at all of these but every single one you needed to have been watching sports 2005-2012sh haha
ESPN is a sports broadcasting network, so that's why they're able to get so many incredible athletes from all sports. It's kind of like Disney being able to make commercials with a bunch of famous actors that have done Disney movies before. But yes, that's a lot of the reason these commercials are so successful and popular is that a viewer will be watching a sport, get a commercial, and one of their favorite athletes from that sport is making jokes and having a good time.
Disney owns ESPN, so that actually makes a lot of sense.
Bryson Turner Disney owns everything 😂😂😂 20th century fox, marvel, Star Wars, muppets, part of epic games 🤣🤣🤣
Bryson Turner haha true! Didn’t even think of that. Also I don’t think Luka knows that “the bubble” is in the ESPN section of Disney (don’t remember the exact name).
EpicMinerNK ESPN Wide World Of Sports
AjTheBest alright that’s what I thought, just wasn’t very confident about it lol
Rip Stuart Scott one of the greatest 😢
Can't believe they didn't have the one with Archie, Peyton, and Eli Manning
By far that's the best one
Or the one with Arnold Palmer making an Arnold Palmer in the cafeteria
Or the one with Steve Austin.
My favorite is the "Arnold Palmer" commercial where he's in the cafeteria making an "Arnold Palmer" (lemonade/Iced Tea) and the broadcasters are in awe.ua-cam.com/video/0rONXxy9kk0/v-deo.html
"Should have gotten Odell for that"
Nah, Larry Fitzgerald is right for that. He's 2nd all time in catches in NFL history, a surefire hall of famer and legend in the game. Still playing too. He'll go down as a top 5 WR, some would say top 3.
Not gonna lie almost EVERY joke went over your head lol glad u enjoyed it tho
Whoever suggested this must not have thought about him lacking context for most of the jokes.
Zach Hershman I mean most of them were not that complex... the devil was just alluding to hell, David Ortiz was wearing a rival cap, the speed bump one was a race car driver trying to go fast in the parking lot. If he just paid more attention
H P Part of it was him not paying attention but it was mostly him not knowing enough about what they were joking about. He has no clue Larry Fitzgerald was (is) an insane receiver who can catch anything. He doesn’t know the backstory behind why Tomlinson wearing his helmet was funny. He quite possibly didn’t recognize Ortiz one as having to do with a rival. Most of the mascot commercials went over his head because he had no clue what most of them were. The devil in the elevator was missed because he talked over it.
Part of the joke is obvious that they athletes are their coworkers as that’s how every day work day is where they work..
He definitely understood the faking injuries in soccer one lol
8:07 Nah man Larry Fitz in his prime was something special, he just didn't have a good QB after Palmer retired
he has more career tackles than drops. as a receiver.
ummmm.... josh rosen??
ITZgecko not good
2:42 The guy doesn't want to get in the elevator with the Devil's mascot when he learns that the Devil wants to go down (i.e. to hell).
9:37 The Penguin mascot (cold) and the Devil mascot (hot) are fighting over the thermostat which is why they put the Do Not Touch sign on it.
Luka: “Welcome back to another sports reaction”
The video: *commercials*
Get a joke
41 people agree
Bruh 41 people got the joke, clearly ur just not smart.
The old espn and ea sports commercials were great also the spurs they got tons of funny commercials
Spurs and all the other teams in Texas have legendary heb commercials
The tree in the 2nd commercial is the mascot for Stanford University
There was a time when every sports fan in America spent every morning watching every minute of SportsCenter. Naturally, athletes wanted to be in these commercials. It isn't like that anymore.
There are so many inside jokes in these, like niche jokes. I’m not surprised you were confused
This is the best one... steve irwin espn commercial
RIP 🙏
React to Donald Sterling: The Worst NBA owner
It's made by the same SB Nation channel that does the Rewinder
Sime'on Manzac11 I think Dom 2K has a better vid on Sterling
The tree is the mascot of Stanford U. It fainted at hearing about all the wood cutting. The Devil is the New Jersey hockey mascot. Wally the Red Sox mascot saw his star player wearing a Yankees hat, because David Ortiz was doing a favor for the catcher on the Yankees and breaking in his hat. Catchers don't usually wear cloth caps, so his was still new looking, is why. Wally was disgusted and left. The football player LT was teased about how dark he liked his visor for day games, so they made a joke out of that. He can't read with it on. Manny Ramirez had a reputation for doing things a bit weirdly, but here they're teasing the sports media for acting like everything he does is weird even when it isn't.
I think it should be mentioned that Yankees and Red Sox are rival teams, at least with fans
Look at Thurston man
Inspirational ish
Only a little inspirational
They left out the one where all the Pirate-themed mascots and McCutchen plunder a random office.
You’ve got to react to Tim Lincecum. He was a really great pitcher for the Giants and won a few World Series rings. His pitches are nasty good
Who else was waiting for the Steve Irwin commercial and was sad when they didnt show it?
The one with the Nascar guy with the pickax was taking out the speed bump which slow you down....they want to go fast
You should react urinating tree's legacy of failures, because it's so good
aww the Steve Erwin one wasn't in there
4 videos today you love to see it- don’t think for a second we don’t appreciate the hustle bro
damn these are old
Love the vids! You should react to some of Jomboys fun sport Friday videos. Very crazy stuff goin on!
Please watch Inside the NBA funniest moments part 2
React to Bob Menery
I'd love to see Jomboy's newest breakdown involving the Dodgers and Astros. Crazy stuff
React to 'Each NBA Star's Most Savage Moment'
damn I've never seen the floyd mayweather one, thats actually hilarious
You should react to An American Coach in London: NBC Sports Premier League Film featuring Jason Sudeikis. Its a comedic short film, only 4-5 minutes long that was used to advertise the premier league in the usa.
You gotta react to joe kelly throwing at the astros, Jomboy just did a video on it last night. The Astros are getting what they deserve for cheating
These would be way more amusing for you if you knew the players
You should watch the basketball ones they have players like kobe and lebron
He should react to the funny footlocker commercials
I can't believe they didn't include the Steve Irwin one with the Florida Gators mascot. Probably the best one.
I thought you might love the one with the guy faking the soccer injury.
Please react to either Rockets vs Celtics or Rockets vs Grizzlies. Hardens been on a tear and you always like when you see his highlights
The one where Dan Patrick hits Stone Cold Steve Austin with a chair was fantastic.
Years ago, there was a series of web based videos/lengthy adverts called "Terry Tate, Office Linebacker". They were genuinely funny.
Seeing as how you know Charles Barkley now you should watch the capital one commercials with him spike lee and Samuel L Jackson
Can u react to Foolish baseball
16:05 “I would love to see more of these. I don’t know if there is more.” You said this right after you cancelled the auto play of one with LeBron, Kobe, and Steph.
I saw in the recommended vids at the end “an American football coach in London” hilarious parody of if an nfl coach was hired by hotspur. You would appreciate it as a soccer fan.
It’s ESPN... of course they got the big names... idk maybe you didn’t realize SportsCenter is part of ESPN
Reebok did a number of Superbowl commercials featuring "Terrible" Terry Tate...Office Linebacker. You would definitely enjoy them.
The Heisman House ones are funny as well.
Luka FYI Larry Fitzgerald is one of the GOATS NOT Odell Beckham jr
Wow those were older sportscenter commercials. Simpler times on ESPN.. RIP Stuart Scott.
You should watch "Kawhi Leonard’s Two-Year Journey from San Antonio Injury to 2019 NBA Finals" by bleacher report, summarizes last years playoffs pretty well
1. Pretty self explanatory.
2. That is the "unofficial" mascot (only the Band program uses it officially, but because they are present nearly every sporting event it's essentially the school mascot) of the Stanford University Cardinals (the word Cardinals here refers to the color red that they use, not the bird). The seal of the school is a Redwood tree which is a common local tree in central and northern California.
3. Making fun of Chad Johnson (later known as Ochocinco) the guy sitting there in the jersey. He was a top receiver and was known for his unusual behavior, antics, and celebrations.
4. New Jersey Devils mascot, declaring he's not "going up".
5. Boston Red Sox mascot catching star player David Ortiz wearing the hat of their mortal rivals, the New York Yankees and being appalled.
6-7. Pretty self explanatory.
8. NASCAR Driver Jimmie Johnson busting up a speed bump.
9. Pretty self explanatory.
10. The red things are called "doughnuts". They are heavy rings you put on the bat in the on deck circle to practice swings with, so your first few real swings of the at bat are quicker since the bat is now a pound or two lighter.
11-13. Pretty self explanatory.
14. Again, another player known unusual behavior and antics.
15. Pretty self explanatory.
16. Matt Ryan, known as one of the more intelligent and sophisticated quarterback in the league that actually would be able to remember a play call so ridiculous.
17. Pretty self explanatory.
18. Two NHL mascots, Iceburgh the Penguin of the Penguins, and Mr. Devil of the Devils.
19. Pretty self explanatory.
20. Joke on no one knowing what Western Kentucky University's mascot "Big Red" is.
The rest are pretty self explanatory.
This didn't include my favorite from early on. The ESPN team in the Bristol rec basketball league stacked with ringers. Juwan Howard and other NBA stars pummeling the guys from Bristol Plumbing. "Just play the game plumber boy!"
Sports Center is the sports "News" show of ESPN . Trade deals, highlights, suspensions, top plays, stuff like that.
Obviously the commercials are based on Inside jokes that sports fans would understand
But they also give viewers the impression that ESPN is the ultimate authority in sports in a funny way. Branding!!
You should watch Tarry Tate Office Linebacker.
I worked at ESPN from 1993-1996, and worked with some of the anchors in these commercials. I happened to be there when they shot a commercial that didn't appear here and that was with Mary Lou Retton. Karl Ravech has one of the best toupees you'll ever see.
Good news! ESPN is going to be making these types of commercials again so you’ll have a whole bunch of new ones to watch.
Oh the 'This is Sportcenter' commercials are classics. Yes, they cover everything from Soccer to NASCAR.
ESPN is one of the largest sports broadcasting networks in the world, and they dominate the US market. NBC Sports, Fox Sports and other channels also have large portions of the market but what makes ESPN and is their main show is "Sportscenter" which is like a news show but all about sports. They do analysis, highlights, predictions, etc and they always have ex players, sports insiders, breaking news, etc. Their anchors are pretty famous in their own rights as it's an everyday show that is watched by millions of people daily. So the entire "this is sportscenter" commercial joke is that, it's like a regular office, but with famous athletes and mascots and all sorts of strange things happening. A lot of the jokes i'm sure are going over your head just because they deal with popular US sports culture and deal with inside jokes about things going on in the sports media. Here are some that I saw you struggle with that maybe can provide some context
- Baseball player talking about the manufacturing of wooden MLB bats in graphic detail while the Tree Mascot is listening and passes out from horror
- Chad Johnson was infamous for his Touchdown celebrations, he got a lot of fines from the NFL for them and this is a joke about a TD celebration brainstorm session at the ESPN offices
- Red Sox vs Yankees are the oldest rivalry in US sports and the Red Sox have a mascot named Wally. This is like if a Real Madrid player put on a Barcelona scarf.
- The green mascot is the mascot for the Philadelphia Phillies which is actually the New York Mets rival not the Yankees Jeter played for, but still New York vs Philly is a classic rivalry
- NASCAR driver is destroying the Speed Bumps in the parking lot so he can go fast
- Watching the tape is a play on the classic sports reference to go back to the tape to fix issues in gameplay
- The rings that he is using on his arms are weighted rings that MLB players put on the bat while they are taking practice swings before batting in games. The idea is that you take a couple swings with this heavy bat and then when you actually bat, you are quicker to hit. So that’s the joke here, he’s using them to make himself type faster
- LT always wore a tinted visor in games and commentators constantly referred to his incredible vision even with a tinted visor. The joke here is that he actually can’t see
- Larry Fitzgerald has made many incredible catches in his career as a wide receiver and is referred to as one the greatest “catchers” in the history of the game. This is a joke on how he can “catch anything”
- Manny Rodriguez at the height of his popularity did a lot of weird/funny/out of the ordinary stuff in the dugout and on the field, the media was obsessed with him and followed him in games always with a camera to catch whatever they could, they also made a phrase “Manny being Manny”. This is a joke about how over the top the media coverage and attention was.
- NFL playbook plays can be incredibly complex and long winded which is why the joke here is what would happen if a Quaterback made the new network password like a play called in the huddle
- The duck mascot is from Oregon university, joke here that he’s hard at work and just wants to be a duck on the pond.
- The red blog mascot is the Wisconsin university mascot, nobody knows what it is so the joke is that he doesn’t know which bathroom he’s allowed to use.
- For a number of years the San Francisco Giants were the best team in Baseball and won a couple of championships behind their strong pitching. This pitcher is their closer Brian Wilson who always had a big black beard and would come in to pitch the end of the game to win. Thus the fans started a motto for him which was “fear the beard” because when he came into pitch, they would win due to his success.
- Tim Lincecum was another of the Giants pitchers that won them championships, his nickname was “the freak” and this is just a joke about him trying to use it professionally
Check out the Manning family commercials, even though they come across as very straight arrow, they are surprisingly funny. One of the best Sports Center ads. That's their Dad at the front, a Hall of Fame quarterback in his own right . ua-cam.com/video/1KpwT3ihBBw/v-deo.html
You should watch more! There are so many great ones. My 2 favorites are "Is It Weird" and "The Manning Brothers".
ESPN = Every Sport Possible Network
So...yeah they got all of ‘em 😆
~_~
3:44 the mascot in that commercial is the Philly Phanatic, mascot to the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team. He's one of the oldest mascot in sports, going back to 1976.
Odell isn't holding a candle to Larry Fitzgerald in terms of consistently catching everything thrown his way over the course of an entire career. Fitz has arguably the best hands in the NFL of all time. Not taking anything away from Odell though, he's a beast and has made some amazing catches. But Fitz had arguably the most legendary WR playoffs of all time and nearly carried the Cardinals to their first Super Bowl Win ever(if it weren't for the Steelers completing 2 one-in-a-million miracle plays).
That red abomination against nature was the mascot of Western Kentucky University, my university’s arch rivals. Nobody knows what the f&@! that thing is.
ESPN used to be huge. Sports Center was basically a sports news and highlights show. They would give you the scores of the games from yesterday and show the highlights from those games. Back when these commercials aired, Sports Center was must watch TV for half the American male population. ESPN would air their one hour long morning Sports Center program three times in a row.....and dudes would just watch it over again. I know I did.
Sadly, today it isn't anywhere close to being as good as it used to be, just like most of the rest of the ESPN lineup. The drop in ratings shows it.
ESPN covers all sports news around the world and in the USA for American TV. I just wish they still did little commercials like this.
Dude there's 100s of these since like 1993. You can waste a lot of time watching them.
The Duck one is my favorite.
my all time favorite...the pirates steal everything from the meeting. also a good one...the broncos/seahawks mascots in the elevator before the superbowl
You gotta react to the NFL Pick Me commercials. Those were legendary
Though it pains me to relive the moment, there's a great Foolish Baseball video thats been suggested after a bunch of the videos you've watched recently. Check out "Baseball Bits, Best Game Ever"
I never felt older than when he said "should've gotten Odell for that" for the Larry Fitzgerald commercial
SportsCenter is a broadcast network. They cover a variety of sports.
My favorite is the one with Wally the mascot thinks David Ortiz of the Red Socks has become a New York Yankee and drops all the bats.
The David Ortiz joke (the mascots throwing the books down in disbelief) is that he was breaking in a rival teams cap, but the mascot thought he was supporting the team.
This didn't even have the Peyton and Eli commercial or the Hip Hip Jorge! with Posada lol still good though
The Derek Jeter one with the Phillie Phantic is my favorite. The Phanatic is the best mascot in sports. There’s a great one with Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda & the Phanatic.
Luka: [over and over again]Man they got everybody on here!
Every time...Me: this is sports center baby
The soccer flop one with Abby Wambach is GOLD
You should watch History of the League by Griffiti. It's really different than the other hockey videos that you've reacted to and does a good job of being informative while also being funny and chaotic. I've put the vid in your discord if you want to watch it.
There are so many little things you can forget to appreciate about your culture until you see it through an outsider's eyes. I do half-wish you had an American pal with you to explain those details that would make it funnier for you if you knew the reference. But all the same, loving your vids...keep it up!!
Please Luka react to Dennis Rodman and his incredible hustle. I promise you haven't seen this type of breed. Fun fact the guy used to party hours before his NBA games 😁 he would still come on court all hangover with a smell of alcohol and still outhustle everyone on the court. Personally to me the guy had a fun lifestyle but on court he was all business. P.S srr for all the mistakes im on drugs
Sportscenter is the sports show of all sports shows in the US, and it's network, ESPN is the biggest sports network. So it's easy to get a bunch of people to do segments and commercials.
I love the Steve irwin Florida gators commercial and the stone cold Steve Austin one.
The premise of the commercials was based on the name of the news program, SportsCenter. SportsCenter was supposed to be the center of the sports' world.
React to the rules of NASCAR racing explained
Larry is a hall of Famer and has the best hands in NFL history or one of the best. OBJ is good and makes flashy plays with TD celebrations but Larry is better all around. OBJ had one of the most drops last year.
ESPN is like SkySports for you it’s the big sports network in America so that’s why you have all the athletes I’m sure even some athletes even asked to get in some
React to top 15 highschool players class of 2020, we need to see you react to different levels of the game not just NBA
There's plenty more...you haven't made it here til you've been in a sportscenter commercial. They've been going on for 25+ years so there's so many more
React to Oakland Athletics funniest commercials
React to Celtics vs Rockets scrimmage please. That game is filled with highlights.
You might want to keep an eye on the Dodger and Astros series currently underway. There was a little trouble during last night's game, demonstrating that not everyone is willing to forget that Houston cheated.
Bro its SPORTS center. Meaning ALL sports
L.T.
You should do some LaDanian Tomlinson highlights.
The concept is all sports are in that building...
Since Stu Scott passed away ESPN has been boring to me
You really should seek out the Lance Armstrong commercial. That was one of the best.
Good choice to react to.I enjoyed that.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
