Not to worry, internet! TV networks have been churning out these silly ads — in which all of the network's biggest stars put on a song and dance in one long extended commercial — for decades.

Let's take a look at some of the most enjoyable throughout television history.

Includes America's Most Wanted, Melrose Place, The Simpsons, Married with Children, Misery Loves Company, The X-Files, Beverly Hills, 90210, Party of Five

At the end of the day, it’s 2+ minutes of Broderick being funny among various “Ferris Buller’s Day Off” easter eggs — all set to the classic 80s “Ohhhh yeah” song by Yello.

Since then, a few skilled fans created versions on YouTube showcasing the history of their teams. Are there enough NBA fans with video editing game out there so that every team can get a remix? Note: This is a thinly veiled call-to-action for basketball lovers to make more of these videos immediately.

The Original

Featuring Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors' song "Live Forever" - a song I could listen to 30 times if it meant watching "NBA Forever" commercials for 30 NBA teams.

The Golden State Warriors History

Created by YouTube user Kjestrada, and featuring Warrior greats such as Jamaal Wilkes, Wilt Chamberlain, Chris Mullin, Tim Hardaway, and those classic "The City" uniforms. As a franchise, I couldn't care less about Warriors and watching this gave me chills.

The Sacramento Kings History

I care even less about the team history of the Sacramento Kings, but again, a riveting tribute (courtesy of YouTube user MrMan6577). However, no clips of Oscar Robertson? Tiny Archibald?

Then Someone Created One For Ohio State Basketball...

Not the NBA, but certainly no less awesome and no less compelling. (Well done, YouTube user tedwardoginn)
