The funny thing is, there's nothing sexual about the game other than the name... and the commercial TOTALLY played that up for laughs! Especially the voice! Hahahaha!
True story... I remember seeing this commercial back then. Couldn't believe it. Over the years I convinced myself it didn't happen, that it must have been a SNL parody half-remembered. I just thought of it a few minutes ago looking at another retro commericial; a quick search, and here it is. Absolutely amazing after all these years. I would not be surprised if it ran only once or twice before saner heads took it off the air, and I just happened to be one of the few that saw it.
I just got this commercial in a lot of classic TV commercial reels I bought it is so hilarious..there are two versions a longer one with kids in it..the kids all laugh and say "I busted your balls!" "Sis you busted my balls!" It is soo funny..I bought 6 reels of old commercials man they are a hoot..
The term ballbuster was known and widely used in the 70s. I remember this commercial, I was just a young kid but I remember hearing my parents talk about it and how they couldn't believe it was for real. With in a week or so it was only shown late at night, I'm assuming because of complaints. That's when I finally saw it. But shortly there after it was banned completely.
I don't believe it! Looks like someone made a retro-looking commercial, with a controversial name! I'm 52, and have NEVER heard of this game. "Bust your opponents balls!" Woulda never happened back then!
@magillagorilla420 It's an actual game, it did not last long though due to it being too shocking for viewers.I remember readinb about it in this trivia book.
At What Point In Time Did The Name "Ball Buster" Seem Like A Remotely Good Idea!?!
Why not call it "Sphere Smasher", or "Cirle Clacker"?
Actually nothing seems like a good name for this. :/

Interesting...when the announcer says "It's a family game..." the kids get up to leave.

When the kid gets up to leave he touches his balls, then comes back for another feel!
