    NCAA Tournament Commercials Thread

    We'll start with Willie. The extended Capital One ad:



    Overheard on the set...

    CHARLES BARKLEY: I got a case of the munchies.
    WILLIE NELSON: Oh, you smoke weed too?
    CHARLES BARKLEY: No, I just got a case of the munchies.

    SAMUEL L. JACKSON: What's in your wallet?
    JENNIFER GARNER: Half of Ben Affleck's Batman money.

    Here's the Continental Tire ad with Grant Hill and Christian Laettner.



    While searching for this I found Grant's NBA on TNT ad with his father, and the "I'm a Cowboy" Sprite ad, both from 1997.

    And there's a new Aflac ad for March Madness where Coaches K and Staley go birdwatching.



    And to anticipate a need, here's the old Bud Light ad with Coach K, with a pre-fame Eddie Jemison and Ian Gomez.

    I guess Nissan expected the Heels to be in the tournament. They must have filmed it back in November.

    I may be risking negative sporks with this one, but wait for the punchline.

    Here's a new Nissan ad with Kenny Smith and Candace Parker.



    Good to know that even back in the 1980s, Fats Thomas was supplying free cars to UNC players.

    Jacob Toppin in an AT&T ad - that's a nice NIL paycheck.

    I will be a broken record. I cannot stand the Allstate guy. I do not see why that makes anyone want to buy their product. It makes me despise them.

    It was good at first, very clever. But like all commercial gimmicks and "stars", they run their course well before the ad companies actually take them off. IMO same goes for the Capital One NCAA commercials.

    Your version was a lot funnier. The commercials have been awful this year. I loved the one last year with Grant Hill and the mascots.

    Let's face it, being cute doesn't get old nearly as fast as being...Barkley.

    Charles acting like an idiot isn't so funny when he's actually an idiot in real life. Those commercials have to go. At least Charles.

    The Coors commercial with Vitale isn't bad. I mean, I'm still going to avoid ever drinking Coors again, but the ad ain't bad.

    Old man handing out beer popsicles to strangers. Yeah, this commercial was a good idea...



    If you're feeling nostalgic for not-as-old Dick Vitale, here's a very 1990s Taco Bell commercial.

    Nice of him to lead a Mascots Anonymous group. They need to update the Marriott Bonvoy ad this year without the baby blue ram.



    Extra! A pair of Grant Hill commercials for Fila: one introducing his Grant Hill II sneakers and another with Bill Laimbeer.

    I like the NCAA commercial highlighting that the majority of athletes don't go on to star studded sports careers.
    Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."

    Saw that and the fact that the unc ram was in it made me laugh.

    There's an AFLAC/Coach K ad at a pool as well.
