I was a regional champ in 1981.I was kind of a big deal in that world.The pressure my father put on me to win at all costs finally robbed me of all enjoyment of the sport and I gnopped my last in mid December almost 30 years ago to the day.I never think about it much anymore but once in a while I go down to the basement and watch old super 8s of the glory days...
lol reminds me of that one american dad episode where they turned steve into an old man and he said when ever he walked it was like playing a game of gnip gnop with his knadz XD
Jesus, this commercial irritated me! Channel 12 would gnip it, and it was too much trouble to gnop the channel (years before we had a remote) so I'd just suffer through that gnip-damned, mothergnopping, gnopsucking piece-of-gnip everytime.
As my parents would have been able to attest to at 4 am Christmas morning, 1972, this game was far noisier than what you hear in the commerical. Let the beatings commence...
Try to buy one of these things to your kids now and they will Openly laugh at you if not kill you, back then we were very innocent and easily entertained not like today when you need big bucks to entertain your children.
My brother and I had this, it was really fun to play. I remember that we had fun saying the name of the game, to the annoyance of the adults around us.
They mention this game in an episode of the Family Guy cartoon. I was expecting something with knocking balls that swing from an axle. How much fun was this kids? Trade you X-Box?
I have a photo of me at Christmas with this toy box in the background. I couldn't even remember what it was and now that I've seen the video, I don't remember playing it LOL!
How many people heard about this on American Dad in the episode where Stan and Francine are playing with Steve's age, went to Wikipedia, and followed the link to this ad?
Always amazed me how no matter what new amazing game Milton Bradley came out with, they always ended the same: In a fist fight with my little brother.
That's the type of game that would reach it's peak "high usage" on Christmas Day, get used maybe a weekend or two after that, and then go back in the box, then to a closet or under a bed for 1-5yrs until residing in an attic or a (hopefully) dry basement for a time some leading scientists estimate to be anywhere from 5 - 39 yrs. Some are even there as you read this. Stop this travesty Meet the challenge ATTEND THE NEAREST YARD SALE NEAR YOU
Agreed. Seems like there would be no winners at all. Unless,I guess,if your fingers finally get worn out and you end up with all the balls on your side because you're tired of sending them over to the other person. Then the looser is the one with "the most balls" I assume? I simply have no clue about this and could care less.
wow. this brings back memories of times when I would play this with a neighbor kid, we had fun with this game, and the old, "Don't break the Ice" game.
ok, lets recap, two boys playing a game where one tries to put his balls into his opponents hole and the other kids tries to put his balls in through the hole on the opposite side .......hmmm yeeeeah!!!
I had Gnip Gnop in the 1970's. I loved it. Hours of fun!
