1960's Hasbro Pie Face game TV commercial

[cmburke7]

slide whistle sold separately.

[heine71]

@cmburke7 You mean slide whistle not included.

But why a pie whistle in this commercial?

[jb20092009]

Not to mention all the other clones of Soupy Sales Worldwide.

[jb20092009]

Note how, Number One, this 'game' came out during the height of Soupy Sales' popularity (around '65) and Number Two, it didn't stay on the market more than a week. I mean, what parent in their right mind would want their kid to have THIS? What? So they can mess up their house? Oh well, even Channel 11 (NY) came out with a Soupy clone called Hank Stohl in 'The Surprise Show' after Beachcomber Bill quit after being hit with a pie on his show.

[heine71]

@jb20092009 I think it was inspired by Soupy Sales Pie in the Face gags or something like that.

[jb20092009]

@heine71 Thank you. That's what I was saying.

Yes, and since I don't believe in coincidences, and Archie Comics even put out a Soupy Sales fanzine that year, i would say that that is VERY accurate.

[BBInsanity]

Ok. Who the h-ll would think of that as a fun family game!

[heine71]

@BBInsanity You mean what the heck!

[heine71]

@BBInsanity Spinner, mask, pie thrower, fun for you and grown ups too!

[chuckula66]

I keep thinking of a change in one word making this game horrendous....."Sh-t Face". O_O

[heine71]

@chuckula66 How about SLIME FACE?

[chuckula66]

@heine71 HA! Nice!

[Suyamu]

russian roulette bukkake style...

[heine71]

@Suyamu What do you mean by "bukkake style"?

[Suyamu]

@heine71

"creampie in the face" style

[heine71]

@Suyamu Oh....I get it...LOL!

[KingOfNewYorkHacks]

It really was more fun before video games.

[heine71]

@KingOfNewYorkHacks It counts as a board game!

[chuckula66]

@heine71

heh heh heh .....is it a "board game" or "bored game"?

[heine71]

@chuckula66 board game! not bored game!

[chuckula66]

@heine71 Yes, Terrible! The Pun Gods had me in their grasp....I was helpless.

[heine71]

@chuckula66 Who are the PUN GODS??

[chuckula66]

@heine71 I guess that isn't the right choice of words...."The Pun Muses" seems less wonky. They are the ones who inspire very bad puns. : D

[heine71]

@chuckula66 Pun Muses??

[karenamanda1958]

"ask your parents to apply whipped cream"? how many children have died that applied the WC by themselves? lol

[1merrelgamezgecko]

cool!!

[o0thenatigirl0o]

Wow, yeah, being hit in the face with a wet sponge sure is my kind of fun! lol

[heine71]

@o0thenatigirl0o If you dip it in water and don't put whipped cream on it.

[chubbylilloser]

[heine71]
