"Simplest" is arguable. Performance is measurable.

poly[m_] := 
  FromCoefficientRules[
   Thread[Flatten[Table[{i, n - i}, {n, 0, m}, {i, 0, n}], 1] -> 
     1], {x, y}];

f[n_] := (Expand[
    Normal[Series[
      Product[Sum[(q*t)^i, {i, 0, n}], {q, {x, y}}], {t, 0, n}]]]) /. 
  t -> 1

Table[poly[i], {i, 1, 100}]; // Timing

{1.51514,Null}

 Table[f[i], {i, 1, 100}]; // Timing

{4.94317,Null}
