The top 10 'This Is SportsCenter' commercials of all time

For more than twenty three years, the "This Is SportsCenter" advertising campaign has taken viewers inside ESPN's headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut and shows you the life of their staffers as you've never seen before. These mockumentary-style commercials offer a comical taste of life at ESPN; with players across every sport imaginable interacting with anchors, sports mascots pulling pranks on ESPN employees or just simply poking fun at sports practices.

However, all good things must come to an end as the "This Is SportsCenter" campaign which was created by advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy will be discontinued in order to make way for a brand-new ad campaign which will be created by Droga5 which will debut on ESPN early next year. So without further delay, here are the top ten "This Is SportsCenter" commercials of all time!

10. "Long Week" (2014)

As the very first Super Bowl in New York City looms on the horizon, things get tense in the office elevator as Denver Broncos mascot 'Miles' and Seattle Seahawks mascot 'Blitz' show plenty of animosity towards each other. Steve Levy and former anchor Jay Crawford look on in bewildered bemusement!

9. "Ice Cream" (2015)

Even though this ad is only fifteen seconds long, it is still one of the funniest! New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey eats a regular batting helmet-sized ice cream sundae while anchors Lisa Kerney and Jay Harris stare in absolute awe of his tremendous appetite!

8. "Handshakes" (2012)

When then New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano visited ESPN's headquarters in Bristol as a way to pump up the ESPN atmosphere, he had virtually no idea that he would give numerous ESPN employees the flu. Ouch!

7. "The Machine" (2010)

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols isn't afraid to speak his mind and neither are anchors John Anderson and Steve Levy. Even the copy machine has a say!

6. "The Kid" (1996)

In an era where high school seniors bypass college to declare for the NBA Draft (notables included Kevin Garnet, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James), ESPN decides to hire Seth Hayes as a SportsCenter anchor. Unfortunately for ESPN, he turned out to be a total bust!

5. "Musical Chairs" (2005)

It's good to be the King when your name is LeBron James. Watch what happens when anchor Scott Van Pelt steals James's prized throne.

4. "Arnold Palmer" (2009)

Another short but entertaining commercial where the late, great golfer Arnold Palmer prepares the famous drink that bears his name. All this takes place in front of ESPN cafeteria patrons, including anchors Stuart Scott and Scott Van Pelt.

3. "Spy" (2011)

Washington Wizards winger Alexandr Ovechkin is seen doing some filing in the dark while curious anchor Steve Levy questions him and suggests that Ovechkin is really a Russian spy, which he turns out to be!

2. "John Clayton" (2012)

Though he no longer works for ESPN due to recent layoffs, NFL insider John Clayton will always be remembered for this ad in which he unveils his true colors as heavy metal music fan, complete with a ponytail. "Hey, mom! I'm done with my segment!" he screams!

1."Y2K" (1999)

As the year 2000 is fast approaching, ESPN employees get very nervous when all of a sudden, ESPN Headquarters suffers a complete power outage. Panicked ESPN employees as well as Minnesota Vikings linebacker John Randle and St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Mark McGwire run for cover. Former anchor Charley Steiner eventually shows up in hippie attire and comically yells, "Follow me, follow me to freedom!"
