Seconding the other guy, Red and Yellow had a decent dynamic and weren't any worse than the infinite other mascots at their worst commercials. I even liked the famous Santa commercial one.
All the others were just one note jokes that ran their course in one go but kept going.
Red and yellow originally had a good, "Mean guy, Dumb guy / boke tsukkome" dynamic that is seen in various comic relief duos in many types of media. Unfortunately, it doesn't work anymore because in left wing influenced media, having a character be mean without either the character being openly evil, or a minority dressing down a white man, is a big no no. So they made red less mean, yellow less dumb, and added a bunch of side characters, and none of them have much in the way of personality.
Still can't believe the yellow one was J.K. Simmons.
Seriously--he got the role before his big break, and continues to voice the character out of gratitude.
The red one is the great Billy West.
