Okay so I know it's not sports, but it is sports-related. Just curious as to which commercials you all like. Here's a few examples that I find particularly amusing:
SERIES commercials 1. Southwest Airlines "Must be football season" commercials. Especially the grocery store one where the clerk activates one of the checkout lanes and yells "I'm open!", and a guy shopping in the produce section tags him in the head with a pineapple.
2. Bud Light Presents: Real Men of Genius (Real American Heroes). Today we salute you, Mr. Really Fake Toupee Wearer. The guy singing in the background cracks me up.
SPECIFIC commercials 1. During one of the past Super Bowls, one of the beer companies had the "Jerry, Jerry, Jerry" commercial. Some poor bastard was meeting with a guy who looked like a mafia boss, who was scowling at him across the table. Every time the guy would start to take a drink from his beer, the mafia guy would go "Jerry, Jerry, Jerry...." and shake his head.
2. Last weekend I saw a new one where a guy and this pretty blonde were hanging out at her apartment after a date. The blonde is extremely ditzy and annoying, and when she leaves the room to get changed, the guy takes a call on his cellphone. Eventually the guy tells his friend, "Yeah, she's pretty annoying but I'm desparate..." The girl comes bouncing back into the room and sits down next to him and goes "Ohhhh did you meet Coop?" She points behind him and there's a parrot in a cage. The parrot, right on cue goes "RrrraAAAH! She's pretty annoying but I'm desparate!" and the guy of course ends up getting kicked out of the apartment. Anybody else see that one?

Not quite along the same lines, but has anybody seen that commercial where there's a bunch of athletes sitting in chairs outside of a conference room, bored out of their minds while a guy gives a presentation on the company's fiscal profile? He says:
".. we shifted our paradygm, bolstered our sales to an all-time high, and leveraged our core equities. That's what I call.... strategillusions."
Then a narrator says "Watching pro atheletes do their job is just more fun"
For some reason, that commercial cracks me up. Maybe it's the look on the corporate guy's face when he's walking back to his seat, like he just hit a homerun.
