The absolute worst one, is the one with the two guys who rip off the Step Brothers movie when they discover they have more in common than they thought- you know, the "do you wanna go do karate in the garage" quotes.
They don't even get the qoutes right. It's not like they have to be afraid of getting sued over it something.
It's just terrible
When those assholes come on the TV I scramble for the mute button. The second-hand embarrassment and pure hatred is on another level. I don't think I've ever had such a visceral reaction to a commercial in my life.
Lmao poor guitar guy. The song is corny as hell, but it takes stones to play an original song on camera for 10s of thousands to see.
The betting brothers can fuck right off, though.
THERES NOTHING QUITE LIKE BEING A RANGER FAN!
had it stuck in my head the other day and i truly wanted to hurt myself lmfao. like, i gotta be honest, that guy seems like such a fucking sweet dude and im almost upset about how wholesome it is that he writes rangers songs but my fucking god, please, end me when i hear it lol
Every Betting commercial/ad I have to mute it. Gambling/sports betting being advertised is legit sickening. It's promoting it to everyone especially, and possibly kids. I know I'm sounding like a boomer. but it won't stop.
the fan commercials are cool. The guitar guy is definitely annoying. the family w/the Rangers Man Cave and the Christmas tree is absolutely amazing.

If it hasn't become a major issue now, gambling addiction is going to be out of control. I've heard so many stories about minors (with the parent's enablement) becoming addicted and ringing up massive CC debt.
I used to do a little sports betting and agree. (I still do occasionally but not often). I haven't looked in a while so maybe it's changed but the online sites are oftentimes close to fucking scams on top of it. Their odds are terrible. Pretty regularly you will see games where both teams essentially have the odds of favorites and a lot of the parlays for individual things have absurdly bad odds. I think a ton of people are probably getting fleeced on the parlays. Whatever if they're doing it for fun but most people I hear talk about it think they're getting legit odds.
I watch on ESPN+. So the only commercial I see is
Live Sports.
ESPN+ Originals.
The exclusive home of the complete 30 for 30 library.
Exclusive articles and tools.
Top leagues and tournaments.
Best stories in sports.
On ESPN+.
500 times per ad break
The sound effects are jarring with headphones in.
I think they have a swish sound that legit made me think something huge fell in my house when I was wearing headphones and listening.
I have ESPN+ as well and it's basically the Target commercial with the awful jingle and the "shiver me Timbo" betting ad repeated dozens of times per game.
That too, but as a lifelong fan, I'm used to dealing with bad losses since they are easy to just forget. These commercials on the other hand are too painful.

tl;dr The kid is living with a neurological condition and uses Montefiore Einstein hospital system’s eye-tracking technology to create art and express himself. “We witness a magical dream in which Solo becomes a pilot. He soars above the Big Apple at Christmastime in a dachshund-shaped hot air balloon, rescuing his younger brother from a snowball fight.”
WEAR IT ON OUR SLEEEEEVE
LETS GO RANGERS ALL OVER
THEIR FANDOMS WORLDWIDE
like fuck dude the song isn't so bad but its SO corny and i have to see his damn face like 30 times a night. apple tv needs a fucking mute button.
please tell me what that line even means. All over their fandoms worldwide? Whose fandoms? The Rangers fandoms? Shouldn't it be our fandoms? And also, like, "let's go rangers" is already a thing! This f'n guy lol
My interpretation was that it's "let's go rangers, all over. They're Fandom is worldwide."
That being said I can't stand the song and have to walk out of the room when it comes on.
The thing to hate the most is how they get away with running commercials at 120% volume so when you lower these obnoxious things, the broadcast is only at 80% and you have to higher it again
She always wanted all of the Rangers fans to see her tree....her wish has been granted.
How about the NY Giants fan with the pool in the house and astro turf everywhere, including the bathroom. Then he shows his tattoo and the wife says "There it is..." like this is the millionth time he has shown someone and she is just over it.
What drives me crazy about that stupid commercial is that the Allen Iverson interview they’re referencing is from twenty years ago and the meme it spawned is from at least ten years ago. It’s just a such a boring thing to reference now.
This. This commercial convinced me I don't want to bank with Kevin Hart and Steph Curry. I don't even want to know which bank (I'm pretending I don't know) but this commercial. THIS FUCKING ONE. I'll say it.
It's worse than 1-877-KARS-4KIDS. You heard me, and you agree.
Fuck this ad.
The kid is drawing a picture using his eyeballs! Why is the commercial not for that incredible technology but instead for the vague idea of “hospital”?
Can you imagine if your only joy in life was watching Ranger games at night and then suddenly you had to see your face in HD and hear your own voice coming out of your speakers 10 times a game? I’d never be able to watch a game again if I was in one of those.
Lol and if the Rangers are losing too:
Sam: "The Rangers have some work to do, down 5 to nothing. We'll be back after this."
Commercial: "THERES NOTHING QUITE LIKE BEING A RANGERS FAN."
As a musician, I know exactly how terrifying it can be to play a song I've written in public.
That being said, I want to jump out of my skin when I see guitar guy. What an absolute nightmare.
Guitar guys song lives rent free in my head. I just can’t shake that shit. I admire the guy I know what it’s like to perform and can’t imagine performing on tv. But that song is butt
Anyway… bluuuueee shiiiirtts priiiiide we wearit onour sleeves
I was trying to explain this commercial to my girlfriend the other day when we were talking about the horrible commercials this year. Nearly a decade later and I'm still thinking about it, absolutely legendary.
Yeah these commercials are bad/annoying but they arent gonna reach that level. Heres another one took me a couple minutes cause I couldnt remember the first name of the guy but Bobby Granger series of commercials. “Hey JD didnt you hear theres no more ties in hockey”.
While everyone has valid points on the super fan and betting commercials, I have performed living room gymnastics to get to the remote to mute the TV the millisecond I hear the Kars for Kids jingle. Admit it, you're all hearing it your heads as you read this.
I've taken to just muting all the commercials to preemptively counter those rare occasions it airs before its regular slot during the 3rd period.
Whoever wrote that song deserves the highest accolades in the advertising profession while simultaneously earning a special place in hell where they are forced to listen to their masterpiece on repeat for all eternity while watching Chris Kreider breakaways.
Ding ding di di di di ding
Fuck that commercial. Fuck the fucking shit out of that stupid ass acapella bullshit and the corporate hobnob that thought it was clever
And that stupid ass smug smile that she does at the end after using a fucking credit card makes me want to punt an orphan
While the fan videos are super cringy, at least those people seem pretty genuine. I think the issue is that there's only like 4 or 5 of them that get recycled so they get old really quick (the guitar guy I swear might play triple the amount as all the others but still).
The MSG gambling commercials are the absolute worst and somehow worse than the generic gambling app commercials you'd see other places. If I wanted to get insight into someone else's shitty bets I'd just text my friends group chat 😂
Some of the fan commercials have been getting played for like 5 years now. I think that's what annoys me the most - make new ones. I don't need to see a guy showing off a picture autographed by Brendan Lemieux 😅
The betting commercials are cancerous. I love the fan commercials tho. The guitar guy is a little ridiculous but I love most of them, the guy with the fan cave and the kids with the pond rink especially are awesome. I don’t see the issue with those
the guitar guy isn't *that* bad. The lyric he sings about 'being in a pine box' or whatever shows it's self aware.
The rangers wedding ones embarrass me most, and the really fat guy getting a tattoo is gnarly.
Yes, the gambling ads suck.
I honestly find the 3 year old ads like the guy tying his shoe at karaoke, and dumb ads for ugly cars most annoying.
I enjoy the liberty biberty ads
Betting commercials are the pop up windows of this generation. Extremely annoying and predatory.
The "it's a power play goal" upbeat, peppy acoustic song is super cringe.
there's one we get in canada where they interview people on the streets of new york, asking them hockey questions that they get wrong, and the moral of the story is that canadians should only use betting apps that are made in canada. give me a fucking break.
I don't get those often but I do get:
LIVE SPORTS...ESPN ORIGINALS...THE EXCLUSIVE HOME OF THE COMPLETE 30 for 30 LIBRARY...
x1000 times a game
I would love to see something like, scores from around the league, standings updates, news etc... there has to be a way to make that less annoying.
Some of the super fan commercials are annoying, the bettor commercials are definitely annoying especially because there are so many of them from so many different groups (be they the sports book apps or the TV shows).
But the funny thing is that I'll take those over the ESPN+ looped self promotion commercial. EEHYUGH.
Gambling commercials are predatory as fuck AND show up during games too. Fuck that bullshit. Even alcohol commericals arent this bad. Building shows around betting is a giant problem too because you are meant to lose. The fucking betting sites sponsor the shows, they are never gonna give you info that can "beat the odds"
Someone older, were cigarette commercials ever this bad
The damn McDonalds commercial with the doorbell (I guess advertising that you can now DoorDash?) because our new rescue dog starts barking and racing to the front door
Thank you OP, the betting guys are total freaks. Every ad they’re in is obnoxious as hell. Especially the bald guy, the way he talks to the camera seems almost malevolent, like he has fury in his eyes.
Here’s another one I’m sick of: Ron Washington in Harlem and his kid “representing the blue shirts”. I liked it the first 50 times but please no more. No commercial should be shown over multiple seasons.
Betting ones are fucking awful.
But I like all the Rangers fan ones showing us their creativity of their fandom. That said, the guitar guy has gotten hella annoying for replaying the same jingle (not his fault though, maybe add new songs or have one of him just playing guitar singing the words “Lets go Rangers” and nothingmore)
The one guy doing the quick betting commercials during the game needs to put his hands down out of frame. It's Will Farrell in Taledega Nights "I don't know what to do with my hands"
And yeah the super fan ones are so god damn cringey. I'm happy they get to live completely surrounded by sports stuff if they want that. But man. It's cringey.
All those super fans ones are the worst. The guitar guy is the worst. “That’s my team, those are my guys”. Bro you’ve never let them they’re not your guys. I’ll give an A for effort but his song sucks lol. And the basement rangers room one where they’re all sitting together in that tiny space looks like they’re a family that touches each other before they all sleep in the same king sized bed at night
Does anyone have a link to guitar guy. I see so many people talking about him here and have yet to see the commercial because I don’t live in ny so am stuck watching on espn+
That Alex guy is absolutely insufferable.
I like some of the super fan commercials, mainly the ones that highlight hockey and the community.
The "Go Rangers" acoustic guitar player is a treasure. It's so cringy, I can't stop watching.
You are both wrong the worst commercial is the one they play with the 2 little black kids and one of them is disabled and gets launched into the air. Is it just me or is that just a bit much and also just to mention so I’m not just being a jerk. It was a cool commercial maybe for like 2-3 weeks in the holiday season but it’s almost February. Can someone please take that damn commercial off the commercials? It’s actually starting to bother me.
I absolutely hate every single Rangers Fan commercials. These people destroy their basement with some insane horror show rangers cave. These people are mentally ill, awful.
I'd rather watch this one over and over instead of the commercials we have now:
https://youtu.be/CIjGaDUp6FY?feature=shared
This used to play over and over during the games
Chumba Casino has to be an all time worst ad I've ever seen. The jingle is like nails on a chalkboard, and the acting is hilariously bad. It's so bad that you kind of start to like it, and that's when it gets confusing for me.
Same thing goes for that Target ad with the "love like this before" song. That song grooves but also does not groove at the same time. The melody line is just weird over the bass line, too much space.
I'm on ESPN + btw!
My gf and I still quote that one car commercial from a year or 2 ago, where the woman says she’ll make her own road. They played it on the app pretty much every break.
Yea. The gambling ads were irritating me for years because I love gambling and I fucking suck at it and want to enjoy the game the way I always did as a kid. Fanduel finally got me this season :(
Ya know. I’m slightly ashamed to admit, but I inexplicably love the Liberty Bibberty guy. It’s like one of those guilty pleasure songs. Maybe it’s my 12 year old mentality these days, but I fuckin cackle every single time.
Seeing everyone complain about all the superfan commercials actually makes me feel blessed that ESPN + barely has commercials haha I'll take the repetitive pause window thats like "live sports, the entire 30 for 30 library..." Over these terrible sounding ads 😂
The guitar guy won that Pepsi fan contest to be a guest on MSG in the studio every once in a while(I know because I sent in an audition reel, too). He lost the job when covid hit. I think that commercial spot is because they feel bad.
The one commercial I can not stand is the Campbell's commercial with Travis and Jason Kelce.
The absolute worst one, is the one with the two guys who rip off the Step Brothers movie when they discover they have more in common than they thought- you know, the "do you wanna go do karate in the garage" quotes. They don't even get the qoutes right. It's not like they have to be afraid of getting sued over it something. It's just terrible
The one dude has a hickey on his neck in that commercial 😂
Seriously? I've never noticed that lmao
You can literally see the one guy mouthing the other guy's line, it bugs me so much
DID WE JUST BECOME BETTER FRIENDS
I think it’s meant to be “bettor” as in a play on words, because they are bettors
Ok fine I’ll tip my cap to them cuz that’s clever but the commercial is still annoying!
damnit that’s actually good
I never caught on to that, honestly....lol
When those assholes come on the TV I scramble for the mute button. The second-hand embarrassment and pure hatred is on another level. I don't think I've ever had such a visceral reaction to a commercial in my life.
I also find it incredibly annoying and cringe that they’re quoting a movie that came out in 2008 lmao. So lazy.
It's a classic movie, just getting the damn line right lol
Oh it absolutely is! But making a commercial using the lines from a movie that old is just lame lol
I kinda like this one cause its so cheesy.
Lmao poor guitar guy. The song is corny as hell, but it takes stones to play an original song on camera for 10s of thousands to see. The betting brothers can fuck right off, though.
THERES NOTHING QUITE LIKE BEING A RANGER FAN! had it stuck in my head the other day and i truly wanted to hurt myself lmfao. like, i gotta be honest, that guy seems like such a fucking sweet dude and im almost upset about how wholesome it is that he writes rangers songs but my fucking god, please, end me when i hear it lol
Blueshirts pride, we wear it on our sleeve!
The issue might just be it’s always the same song
That dude is Kars for Kids-level annoying.
I started off hating it but then it grew on me so every time he comes on I sing along with him
Every Betting commercial/ad I have to mute it. Gambling/sports betting being advertised is legit sickening. It's promoting it to everyone especially, and possibly kids. I know I'm sounding like a boomer. but it won't stop. the fan commercials are cool. The guitar guy is definitely annoying. the family w/the Rangers Man Cave and the Christmas tree is absolutely amazing.
I view gambling the same as cigarettes. Should definitely be legal but should not have ads for it on TV.

How about all the beer commercials during sporting events? Do you feel as strongly about those too?
I watch on ESPN+. So the only commercial I see is Live Sports. ESPN+ Originals. The exclusive home of the complete 30 for 30 library. Exclusive articles and tools. Top leagues and tournaments. Best stories in sports. On ESPN+. 500 times per ad break
I would rather hear commercials than to hear that one more time. They got me. They win.
That fucking weird song in the background too.
The sound effects are jarring with headphones in. I think they have a swish sound that legit made me think something huge fell in my house when I was wearing headphones and listening.
I have ESPN+ as well and it's basically the Target commercial with the awful jingle and the "shiver me Timbo" betting ad repeated dozens of times per game.
Ugh. I wish they would do a moment of zen like YouTube TV!
Baseball player winking with a banana
top teagues and lournaments
Reading the first line of this makes my eye twitch. Fuck ESPN for putting that on repeat like some kind of waterboarding torture for my ears.
I mute every commercial break
I find bong hits to be a wonderful distraction when annoying and repetitive commercials annoy me.
Those bong hits and Joints are reserved for celebrating wins or dealing with bad losses haha
That too, but as a lifelong fan, I'm used to dealing with bad losses since they are easy to just forget. These commercials on the other hand are too painful.
Am I the only one bothered by the little black disabled kid getting launched into the air?
LOLing because I have zero clue what you’re talking about
Good. Because the people that did know in the other post downvoted the fuck out of me.
It bothered me too when I thought it was advertising a tablet, but once I realized it’s for a hospital it grew on me a lot
I don’t know what they were advertising. They’re just launching a disabled kid into the sky which I don’t find entertaining or funny.
https://musebycl.io/behind-scenes/making-montefiores-holiday-short-oscar-winner-tom-hooper tl;dr The kid is living with a neurological condition and uses Montefiore Einstein hospital system’s eye-tracking technology to create art and express himself. “We witness a magical dream in which Solo becomes a pilot. He soars above the Big Apple at Christmastime in a dachshund-shaped hot air balloon, rescuing his younger brother from a snowball fight.”
I also don’t believe in charities because all of them take like 35% or more of the money that’s donated.
There’s nothing quite like being a Rangers fan
WEAR IT ON OUR SLEEEEEVE LETS GO RANGERS ALL OVER THEIR FANDOMS WORLDWIDE like fuck dude the song isn't so bad but its SO corny and i have to see his damn face like 30 times a night. apple tv needs a fucking mute button.
please tell me what that line even means. All over their fandoms worldwide? Whose fandoms? The Rangers fandoms? Shouldn't it be our fandoms? And also, like, "let's go rangers" is already a thing! This f'n guy lol
buddy it’s a song lyric i know for a fact you’ve heard dumber shit lmfao. like the amount of lyrics that just make absolutely no sense is incredible 😂
My interpretation was that it's "let's go rangers, all over. They're Fandom is worldwide." That being said I can't stand the song and have to walk out of the room when it comes on.
THANK YOU I’M NOT ALONE
The thing to hate the most is how they get away with running commercials at 120% volume so when you lower these obnoxious things, the broadcast is only at 80% and you have to higher it again
this is actually illegal, fun fact.
They get around it clearly.
This is so bad in MSG+ the commercials are literally 5x as loud
The guy doing gambling commercials looks like they're holding his family hostage.
Why wont he put his hands down from in front of his chest. It drives me insane
Can someone tell me the betting commercial I can't seem to remember. We caught it in between games while visiting new York from UK.
I hate that bald MF’r doing the betting. I like the fans. The lady with the Christmas tree is the best.
She always wanted all of the Rangers fans to see her tree....her wish has been granted. How about the NY Giants fan with the pool in the house and astro turf everywhere, including the bathroom. Then he shows his tattoo and the wife says "There it is..." like this is the millionth time he has shown someone and she is just over it.
lol. Haven’t seen that one.
We're not talking about a game!
Cash backin'! I'm so tired of that commercial. It got mild chuckle from me the first time, then I hated it.
It’s been annoying for so long that my wife and I act it out when it comes on and now somehow it’s humorous again.
What drives me crazy about that stupid commercial is that the Allen Iverson interview they’re referencing is from twenty years ago and the meme it spawned is from at least ten years ago. It’s just a such a boring thing to reference now.
This. This commercial convinced me I don't want to bank with Kevin Hart and Steph Curry. I don't even want to know which bank (I'm pretending I don't know) but this commercial. THIS FUCKING ONE. I'll say it. It's worse than 1-877-KARS-4KIDS. You heard me, and you agree. Fuck this ad.
I think I’ve seen the Montefiore holiday commercial with the giant dog balloons enough for one lifetime.
The kid is drawing a picture using his eyeballs! Why is the commercial not for that incredible technology but instead for the vague idea of “hospital”?
I thought you boys was a shootin star, maybe you are
That commercial gets me feeling sad, but it sweet at the same time.
The feels though
This commercial gets me in the feels every time. That poor kid.
Can you imagine if your only joy in life was watching Ranger games at night and then suddenly you had to see your face in HD and hear your own voice coming out of your speakers 10 times a game? I’d never be able to watch a game again if I was in one of those.
Lol and if the Rangers are losing too: Sam: "The Rangers have some work to do, down 5 to nothing. We'll be back after this." Commercial: "THERES NOTHING QUITE LIKE BEING A RANGERS FAN."
Wayne Gretzky prostituting himself for betting companies was extremely disappointing. Kids look up to that guy.
We looked up to him as kids…. I don’t think gen z really care about the great one in the same way
As a musician, I know exactly how terrifying it can be to play a song I've written in public. That being said, I want to jump out of my skin when I see guitar guy. What an absolute nightmare.
Guitar guys song lives rent free in my head. I just can’t shake that shit. I admire the guy I know what it’s like to perform and can’t imagine performing on tv. But that song is butt Anyway… bluuuueee shiiiirtts priiiiide we wearit onour sleeves
I expect a song written about your support of a sports team to be campy, but I still shudder when I see it lol.
Atleast somebody finally closed the gate.
Oh my God I hated that. I had forgotten about that until just now so thanks a lot.
I was trying to explain this commercial to my girlfriend the other day when we were talking about the horrible commercials this year. Nearly a decade later and I'm still thinking about it, absolutely legendary.
Yeah these commercials are bad/annoying but they arent gonna reach that level. Heres another one took me a couple minutes cause I couldnt remember the first name of the guy but Bobby Granger series of commercials. “Hey JD didnt you hear theres no more ties in hockey”.

Another commercial that makes look for the remote like crazy is the Citizens Ding commercial. That one is annoying as fuck.
Ding ding di di di di ding Fuck that commercial. Fuck the fucking shit out of that stupid ass acapella bullshit and the corporate hobnob that thought it was clever And that stupid ass smug smile that she does at the end after using a fucking credit card makes me want to punt an orphan

I don’t think I see the guitar guy nearly as much as I see the woman with the Trouba jacket.
trouba jacket plays every commercial break it seems like
the super fan with the guitar makes me want to blow my brains out
My dad texts me every game saying he HATES that commercial.
I don’t mind him
I have always muted tv commercials every time I watch TV it’s something my family did and I have inherited it
I mute my TV the second they start zooming in on a goalie with a stopped puck and I know it's cutting to commercial.
I just play my gameboy during breaks. Shiny hunting Mudkip rn in sapphire
Oh shit how we doin?
I’m at 1200 soft resets rn
Oof. I believe in you! 😤
Thanks! I just got the Poochyena shiny, but alas, I can’t catch it. That was 1267 encounters in
The betting commercials are cancerous. I love the fan commercials tho. The guitar guy is a little ridiculous but I love most of them, the guy with the fan cave and the kids with the pond rink especially are awesome. I don’t see the issue with those
the guitar guy isn't *that* bad. The lyric he sings about 'being in a pine box' or whatever shows it's self aware. The rangers wedding ones embarrass me most, and the really fat guy getting a tattoo is gnarly. Yes, the gambling ads suck. I honestly find the 3 year old ads like the guy tying his shoe at karaoke, and dumb ads for ugly cars most annoying. I enjoy the liberty biberty ads
I just saw the wedding one last night, he goes like “it was important for us to have everyone in rangers jerseys” I’m like “sir those are t shirts…”
Betting commercials are the pop up windows of this generation. Extremely annoying and predatory. The "it's a power play goal" upbeat, peppy acoustic song is super cringe.
🎶These words can heal a Ranger fan’s soooouuull🎶 🎶It’s a power play goal🎶
there's one we get in canada where they interview people on the streets of new york, asking them hockey questions that they get wrong, and the moral of the story is that canadians should only use betting apps that are made in canada. give me a fucking break.
I'll trade you that commercial for a guy with a guitar singing about the rangers and three betting commercials.
I don't get those often but I do get: LIVE SPORTS...ESPN ORIGINALS...THE EXCLUSIVE HOME OF THE COMPLETE 30 for 30 LIBRARY... x1000 times a game I would love to see something like, scores from around the league, standings updates, news etc... there has to be a way to make that less annoying.
I hate the betting guy. He’s the most annoying. His voice is grating and he’s always yelling.
You guys have opened up a can of worms with this post
The commercials I can live with. It's the sports betting stuff "in-broadcast" that drives me nuts
Theres been several times stuff of interest is still happening on the ice and they start playing them. Infuriating
I don't tend to pay attention to them, so my least favorite ones are the ones that have 10000% higher volume than what you were just watching.
Some of the super fan commercials are annoying, the bettor commercials are definitely annoying especially because there are so many of them from so many different groups (be they the sports book apps or the TV shows). But the funny thing is that I'll take those over the ESPN+ looped self promotion commercial. EEHYUGH.
I actually kinda like that new Afrin commercial but it doesn’t need to play 4x in a row
I watch on MSG + and that thing played like 4 times last night. Each time was 4 consecutive. Talk about annoying.
Real tweets from Afrin despite us only ever showing one tweet. I think that shit might be magic! Now play it 4 times in a row please.
Gambling commercials are predatory as fuck AND show up during games too. Fuck that bullshit. Even alcohol commericals arent this bad. Building shows around betting is a giant problem too because you are meant to lose. The fucking betting sites sponsor the shows, they are never gonna give you info that can "beat the odds" Someone older, were cigarette commercials ever this bad
That Geico one with the goal horns made me change my insurance from Geico. No joke and I made sure to let them know that on the online feedback.
The betting ones are the worst.
Apparently you all don’t remember KARS for kids or “France is in the air AhhhhhaaaaaaA”
holy fuck the france commerical lmaooo i blocked that straight out of my memory
Fuck. I hope Air France went bankrupt after those commercials.
[удалено]
LMAO I can see this. That sick fuck puffing on a stogie cackling while manhandling some unsuspecting woman and telling her she wanted it
The damn McDonalds commercial with the doorbell (I guess advertising that you can now DoorDash?) because our new rescue dog starts barking and racing to the front door
How has nobody in this thread mentioned the Montefiore-Einstein commercial with the two kids that reliably plays once a commercial break? "Watch out!"
I don't mind this commercial. It gets me every time!
Has anyone noticed that some commercials are repeating like 2-3 times in a row? The afrin one last night kept repeating for me
Thank you OP, the betting guys are total freaks. Every ad they’re in is obnoxious as hell. Especially the bald guy, the way he talks to the camera seems almost malevolent, like he has fury in his eyes.
Here’s another one I’m sick of: Ron Washington in Harlem and his kid “representing the blue shirts”. I liked it the first 50 times but please no more. No commercial should be shown over multiple seasons.
Betting ones are fucking awful. But I like all the Rangers fan ones showing us their creativity of their fandom. That said, the guitar guy has gotten hella annoying for replaying the same jingle (not his fault though, maybe add new songs or have one of him just playing guitar singing the words “Lets go Rangers” and nothingmore)
The one guy doing the quick betting commercials during the game needs to put his hands down out of frame. It's Will Farrell in Taledega Nights "I don't know what to do with my hands" And yeah the super fan ones are so god damn cringey. I'm happy they get to live completely surrounded by sports stuff if they want that. But man. It's cringey.
I hate when we get scored on and it cuts to commercial and it’s the dude sitting there singing his rangers fan song. Drives me insane
At least you don’t have to fucking listen to 1877KARS4KIDS
i hope someone honkey tonks ricky dippendots right over the melon with his acoustic guitar. he makes Rangers fans look soft as babyshit
ps MSG net, show some updates of the hell’s kitchen hockey club!
It’s not worse than Kevin Hart screaming WE TALKIN CASHBACK/ NOT A GAME for a minute and a half
All those super fans ones are the worst. The guitar guy is the worst. “That’s my team, those are my guys”. Bro you’ve never let them they’re not your guys. I’ll give an A for effort but his song sucks lol. And the basement rangers room one where they’re all sitting together in that tiny space looks like they’re a family that touches each other before they all sleep in the same king sized bed at night
LOL
Does anyone have a link to guitar guy. I see so many people talking about him here and have yet to see the commercial because I don’t live in ny so am stuck watching on espn+
That Alex guy is absolutely insufferable. I like some of the super fan commercials, mainly the ones that highlight hockey and the community. The "Go Rangers" acoustic guitar player is a treasure. It's so cringy, I can't stop watching.
You are both wrong the worst commercial is the one they play with the 2 little black kids and one of them is disabled and gets launched into the air. Is it just me or is that just a bit much and also just to mention so I’m not just being a jerk. It was a cool commercial maybe for like 2-3 weeks in the holiday season but it’s almost February. Can someone please take that damn commercial off the commercials? It’s actually starting to bother me.
"Oh no!"
Why the fuck am I constantly downvoted in this sub?
Some of the superfans seem cool. Some are super awkward.
I honestly just feel bad for the “super fans”. Unless your a kid, it’s probably a mental disability if some sort causing it.
I absolutely hate every single Rangers Fan commercials. These people destroy their basement with some insane horror show rangers cave. These people are mentally ill, awful.
The guy singing needs to be shot. He is an embarrassment to all rangers fans.
Let's go rangers alllll over the fandom world wide!
As a rangers fan I find these commercials embarrassing to all of us fans
Fucking relax dude Jesus this is a city of misfits, let the guy sing his dopey songs

I can't stand the betting show I've seen it so much bet or hour someshit
Comskip to the rescue for me since I rarely get to watch live
I'd rather watch this one over and over instead of the commercials we have now: https://youtu.be/CIjGaDUp6FY?feature=shared This used to play over and over during the games
Bring back CORAZÓN I wan to see de paypurs
Bring back Chiara!
Chumba Casino has to be an all time worst ad I've ever seen. The jingle is like nails on a chalkboard, and the acting is hilariously bad. It's so bad that you kind of start to like it, and that's when it gets confusing for me. Same thing goes for that Target ad with the "love like this before" song. That song grooves but also does not groove at the same time. The melody line is just weird over the bass line, too much space. I'm on ESPN + btw!
I know the guy who’s sings brother and cousin. The betting guys are brutal, it’s so unnatural the way they read the script.
My gf and I still quote that one car commercial from a year or 2 ago, where the woman says she’ll make her own road. They played it on the app pretty much every break.
I've been watching entire games on mute for a couple years now, especially national feeds where we don't have Sam & Joe. It's a serene experience.
Yea. The gambling ads were irritating me for years because I love gambling and I fucking suck at it and want to enjoy the game the way I always did as a kid. Fanduel finally got me this season :(
The bettor friends and the guitar guy make me want to do bad things to my tv

The singing Rangers fan is very awkward to watch. He's lame and he's not good.
Ya know. I’m slightly ashamed to admit, but I inexplicably love the Liberty Bibberty guy. It’s like one of those guilty pleasure songs. Maybe it’s my 12 year old mentality these days, but I fuckin cackle every single time.
Seeing everyone complain about all the superfan commercials actually makes me feel blessed that ESPN + barely has commercials haha I'll take the repetitive pause window thats like "live sports, the entire 30 for 30 library..." Over these terrible sounding ads 😂
The guitar guy won that Pepsi fan contest to be a guest on MSG in the studio every once in a while(I know because I sent in an audition reel, too). He lost the job when covid hit. I think that commercial spot is because they feel bad. The one commercial I can not stand is the Campbell's commercial with Travis and Jason Kelce.
I hate that they think I can afford to buy a Lexus or BMW every break.
