80's Pogo Bal Commercial

[JeanNummer]

omg I had one of these and a flat one with a handle on it.

[juggaleaux]

Holy shit. The socks. Also, notice no disclaimers on the screen during the commercial? Find that now.

[ohiogo363]

The marketing fantasy: happy kids bouncing safely around an awesome castle. The miserable reality: bloody, fractured victims lying dead in their driveways.

[Lightner445555555555]

OMG there were so many toys I wanted I wish I would've had a job back then I would've spent all my money on them lol.

[xJessHall]

we used to have these at playtime in primary school

[jasrogg]

I had one of those pieces of shit.Not Fun Cant use it for travel and my favorite your exhausted after like 2 minutes.

[chattychar]

i never had one of my own, but i'd go to a friends house and play on it and i remember falling. i got good at it though later. it was good exercise. i think i might go and buy one now actually.

[ajwrangler1977]

I loved my Pogo Bal! It was a yellow disk with bright orange ball. It was in my parents basement until a few years ago when they moved and they threw it in the trash :(

[TheDashDoll]

kids these days need toys like this!

[coldlogic1]

[Dreammotive]

"OK guys we've finished filming the commercial but we still have $100,000 left in the budget. Any ideas?"

"I know! Let's have a giant monster hand burst through the window!"

"Damn it Johnson, you're a genius!"

[layomao]

@Dreammotive that is the best comment evar

[BillDezynski]

That thing was impossible to bounce on. Your could never get balanced first of all.

[HeyKim0012]

I had one of these. I wanted a pretty one but all they had at the store were black and silver, but I couldn't wait so I had to settle for that color.

[X2wolverine]

@HeyKim0012

haha i would have gladly traded mine for yours. i had the black and green one. i wanted the black and silver one so very badly.

[MizNelson]

You had a better chance of multiple sprained ankles than successfully bouncing on one of these things. I tried it exactly once and that was that.

[babygiraffe123]

A girl in our neighbourhood had one of these, when we were kids. She let me try it out one time, and I ended up falling and landed smack on my face, on the concrete. Scraped the left side of my face, all to shit. Goddamn, my mom was pissed. It's no wonder my parents never let me have one of these....lol

[oasisbeyond]

Haha these were the days.... man i would record commericla with my tape recorder lol. Aww makes me sad :( Good old days.

[eight6sevenfive3oh9]

I had the black and pink one. You were super awesome if you could jump rope with it at the same time.

[SpankRamen2]

I'd fall off & hit my head all the time & I son't hav N E brane damige.

LOL

[Cance251]

I am 5 years old all over again!

[gsfan99]

Why are the kids wearing kneepads?! Uh, can we say LIABILITY?!

[bwd81977]

@gsfan99 I 

[jayblac]

I MISS ALL THESE TOYS

[METALIST1989]

Pogoball master? Now I know where they got the idea for pokemon

[nextgenfighter1]

80's comercials are fucking radical

[ogdemigod]

these things sucked so hard

[p0479]

The generic ones worked better than the actual "pogo ball" brand.

[Parkape79]

@p0479 that was the lolo ball. it was ok but sometimes the ball itself would fall out of the ring

[ionthegravity]

i remember this damn thing...the first week I got it, I popped it on a nail...lol

[eldgin]

I had 2 of these

[amazingdany]

I had a PB knock-off, last time I saw any of it, the balloon lost almost all of its air...

80s toys were the best.

[amyntut]

lmao!! I have mine from when I was little !! It's neon green and black!! my kids laugh that I can still do it!!

[LeakFreak]

I got one when I turned 5. Well, I begged for it when we went birthday shopping. It had a black platform(The round one, not angled off.) and dark pink ball. Of course I was too small for it. But I would stand on it while against an arm chair and try to bounce. They still make them. They are usually with the ball and summer outdoor toys at Walmart. Not sure who makes them now, though.

[HeliaSanto]

I never made more than three bond with that ... XD

[TomRoykouffVideos]

I still got my Pogo-Ball!

[LegoMasterBros1]

on amazon would cost a but load

[xOneWayStudiosx]

Whoa. I want one! Wonder if I could find one on EBay...

[NJHater]

the ring would pop off of ours too

[tisssssh]

i had one of those.

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

@tisssssh So did I, up until my brother decided to perform a crazy stunt with it. He jumped off the back deck with it, went down one story, *BWAMF!* was launched into the air, shouting, "Whoa, shiiiiiiiit!!" *CRASH!!! Right into a metal table he went. My brothert survived, but both my Pogo Bal and the metal table were casualties of his brainfart moment.

[SinnFein4ever]

@NinjaGhostScorpion

That sounds like a stunt only a male who's hit puberty would perfom.

XD

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

@SinnFein4ever Funny you should mention that. He was about 13, maybe 14, when he did that.

[SinnFein4ever]

@NinjaGhostScorpion

(claps)

I KNEW it!

XD

[bwd81977]

@tisssssh Me too! What fun. 80s toys are still the best!

[HamCheeseOmelette]

ha.....I had one of these things.

[satanicgrower]

fucking thing was a torture device

[Faith10375]

it was difficult, my brother's teeth dented the blacktop on the driveway.

[MB11113]

Never fell on mine either.. but we always bounced on them in barefeet cause it's a better grip, so we'd get blisters all the time.

[sugarrrsmack]

shit, I never got hurt on mine. The ring used to keep popping off the ball though, so I guess it wasn't exactly safe.

[yogertlvr]

I remember seeing kids playing on these, they bloody looked dangerous cause they were falling on the ground and scraped up kneese hurt arms, and so on.  great vid.

[pink1222]

I cut my chin and my elbow....

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

@yogertlvr You think that's bad? My big brother decided one day that he was going to jump off the deck at my house on my Pogo Bal. He hit the concrete floor below, *BWAMF* was thrown back, shouting, "WHOA, SHIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!" And, *WHAM* he landed back first on a metal table. Fortunately, only the Pogo Bal and the table were destroyed.
