Scrabble 60th Anniversary

Posted by Miss Cellania in Advertising, Toy & Video Games on December 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)

    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.
