Scrabble 60th Anniversary

By Miss Cellania in Advertising, Toys on Dec 2, 2008 at 11:23 am

The board game Scrabble is 60 years old, or maybe 70, depending on where you start counting from. PES created this eye-popping stop-motion ad to honor the occasion. Link (embedded YouTube video)

    ACGINRZ on the first rack and RACING is played?!

    CRAZING is 72 more points!

    but Scabbler, animating ‘crazing’ with plastic toys probably doesn’t make as good an ad

    I thought it would be worse. That was realy funny and entertaining. I loved the car skidding.

    It’s patent probably expired 40+ years ago becoming public domain yet Milton Bradley is still able to knock down every free version or variation they find on the web.

    DaveL: Well, not quite. Networdz is still out there, running feral. It’s still far better than MB’s own version even after all these years. Simple, uncluttered and unfussy.

    No matter what I do I can never bet my wife… at scrabble, she’s just that good.

    I’ll be here all week, try the veal.
