The NFL's Play 60 commercials have typically been a random collage of kids and athletes playing outdoors set to music. They were never the worst commercials on television but they also weren't ones we were thrilled to sit through. That all changed when Cam Newton's Play 60 ad debuted during Thanksgiving - a spot where a small boy steals the show. 

Unexpected hilarity. We love it. The boy's lines about taking Newton's job and becoming Newton's mom's favorite player is incredible. Props to Play 60 for not only having a commercial that's different from what we've typically seen from them but also for potentially having the most enjoyable football commercial of the season. 

The NBA will feature special "BIG: Color" uniforms during their games on Christmas Day. Did the league elect to preview the jerseys with a traditional highlight reel of the matchups in store? No. They went a much more creative and much more enjoyable route. 

We can't help but notice Dwayne Wade was barely involved as the farthest player on the right. Let the lazy Wade jokes commence! Still, it was an ingenious idea by the NBA to make a basketball xylophone and play an iconic song for the Holidays. This is one Christmas commercial we definitely don't mind watching.

Humorous sports commercials are dominated by the usual cast of players: Nike, Adidas and ESPN. Foot Locker decided to up the ante by depicting what Kyrie Irving is really doing during one of those cinematic dunks. 

You've officially arrived, Foot Locker. It's rare that we laugh during an advertisement. Foot Locker pulled off the improbable and actually made us laugh several times during this spot. Irving plays the part perfectly, eating, sleeping and performing a wide range of random activities as he waits for his dunk to finally end. 

Koala!

Trends in television programming are fascinating. When one channel sees big numbers, other channels scramble and offer their own take on the given topic. We've seen auction shows, gold hunting shows, redneck shows and most recently a wave of programming focusing on the Amish. Yes, the Amish are one of the hottest topics on television. Discovery Channel was eager to get in on the action, as seen in the commercial below for the very real show "Amish Mafia". 

Looks like something straight out of Saturday Night Live, doesn't it? "Amish Mafia" is the latest in a string of shows covering the lifestyle. Other networks have focused on the typical Amish life and what it's like for an Amish person to abandon their old ways. Now Discovery brings us inside the "Amish Mafia", a group that in the commercial looks like a version of the Goodfellas. It's believed that the "Amish Mafia" as it's called on the show is actually the "Amish Aid", a group that does indeed look out and help their own but they aren't crime bosses as the commercial depicts. Our guess is that the minds at Discovery thought the term mafia would attract more viewers. 

Give it time, folks. The Amish craze will die out soon enough and we'll be on to the next trend. 

Who says you have to be a successful athlete on the field to receive endorsement deals? Tim Tebow - yes, the same Tebow that's constantly discussed on ESPN despite hardly ever seeing playing time - has already released his first commercial for TiVo explaining his relationship with the brand. There's just too much here to point and laugh at. 

First, it's appropriate that we found out about this ad through ESPN. It's shocking they'd cover a Tebow story, right? Next, it's tough not to cringe when Tebow opens by saying you might know him from playing football. Well Tim, we know you but not because of your time on the field. The bench knows you better than any of us at this point. Tebow then explains how TiVo is like a "magic box". We'll let you make your own joke there. He ends by cracking a joke that he can't help laugh awkwardly at. 

At the very least, TiVo is creative by having Tebow market their product. He's a familiar name, especially to those of us that watch ESPN, and his name sounds a whole lot like the company's name. Still, it's a bit odd seeing a player that has really done nothing on the field sign a major endorsement contract. 

This past weekend I saw Skyfall, the newest James Bond film. As always, commercials and trailers for other movies preceded the main feature. One trailer began to play depicting a typical romantic comedy for the Holidays where two people fall in love at the airport. Cue audible groan from the males in the audience. Except this wasn't any ordinary trailer. It was in fact a brilliant, deceptive ad from Sears. 

It's rare that a commercial can provoke a legitimate feeling of surprise but Sears pulled it off with this ad. Not only was I convinced this was a trailer for an actual movie, the idea that this might be a commercial for Sears was the furthest thought from my mind. There was even an audible gasp from the packed auditorium when everyone realized that Sears duped them with a trailer for a film that thankfully won't exist. 

This is advertising at its best. It's creative, innovative and most importantly, fun.

The relationship between Danica Patrick and Go Daddy continues. A report from NBC Sports indicates that Patrick will have two Go Daddy commercials airing during this year's Super Bowl. Patrick initially joined forces with Go Daddy back in 2007 and has since done 22 commercials for the domain provider. 

We appreciate that Go Daddy is giving us all advance notice of the awful advertisements that await us during Super Bowl 47. 

Carnival Kia owner Jerry Christopher Bostick is famous in Tennessee  for his "Don't you leave 'til you see me" slogan that he makes at the end of all of his commercials. On their own the commercials are annoying but nothing too extreme when you consider the strange world of local car advertising. However, when Bostick was recently arrested for domestic abuse, the advertisements' casual slogan becomes a bit more sinister.

We could easily make a joke here about the implications of what happens when you don't see him prior to leaving, but domestic abuse is no laughing matter. Based on the police report, he slammed a door in his wife's face and knocked the phone from her hand when she tried to call the police. Bostick also was charged as a "felon in possession of a weapon", a charge that relates to an earlier arrest from 1989 when he was arrested with a concealed weapon.

Bostick's wife even appears in some of his ads, including the ad below from 2011. Awkward. A big thanks to SoonerCharley on Twitter for pointing out this perfect example of irony.
