As if girls need to LEARN that game :/
We are born with the ability, straight from the womb.
The ability to fling balls around? Disturbing.
I dont understand, most men carry their balls in their purse so this game is really useless…
As someone who has over 20 years in the industry, I can tell you that this is fake, from Kentucky Fried Movie, perhaps???
Any time you see a post start with “As someone who…” you know it’s going to be worthless.
As someone who has over 10 days in the Fail Blog, I can tell you that I don’t have nothing to say.
Do tell…*sits and prepares for story time*
… “As someone who’s been getting his balls busted for the last 20 years”
As someone who has been busting balls for over 40 years, I can tell you that the sky is blue, and sometimes cloudy.
catfewd…you have some serious skills in screwing around with peoples comments…you have won 5 internets as a special surprise!
but wait, if you pay 10 dollars now, not only do you get 5 internets, but you get a free gift too!
no but seriously. matir. your an idiot.
As someone who thinks posts that start with “As someone who…” are not worthless, I think that posts that begin with “As someone who thinks posts that start with ‘As someone who…’ are not worthless…” are worthless.
Brevity, clarity, and wittiness fail…
That made my brain hurt… meanie
Tehshay claps her hands excitedly.
oh boy, story time!
Psst… Tehshay… it’s not an actual rule, but we usually don’t talk about ourselves in the third person.
I am glad I am not the only one who understands double negatives.
Certainly, you are so right…
Once upon a time there was a fail.
Once upon a time, there was duck with two heads. Then they chopped
off one the heads and then there was only one head left.
As someone who has been posting on the Internet for more then 10 years i have the right to say your comment was a fake.
You’re a professional ball buster?
ya i’ve had 20 years busting balls everywhere
Definitely
If this is a fake game, then explain this:
http://www.megomuseum.com/catalog/1975/ballbuster.shtml
I guess there are games that came out more than 20 years ago…
Industry Expert Fail.
BWUAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!
This guy is making a reference to troll from a previous fail.
Clickie my name to read the comments on that thread.
Ah! 20 years in food service and 20 years in the board game industry. Interesting career paths. I wonder what’s up for the next 20 years. Locksmith, maybe?
someone should make a fail out of matir’D’s obvious lack of a life… he’s spent over 40yrs in two different industries and still can’t use google to look up things…
or maybe when he googled “ballbuster” all he got were pics of women in stiletto heels and vinyl… and thought of his mom…
As someone who has over 20 years experience in comment posting on internet blogs, I think I can say with some authority that your estimate is accurate.
probably 20 years of busting balls
He can’t, his van is kinda tied up at the moment.
20 years of ball busting (with his mouth)
Actually, looking at that whole thread, this professional waiter/game industry expert never *once* spelled “you’re” right… I’m guessing he also has a huge tattoo on his back…
He put up more of a fight on the Service Fail thread… but I think Mr Mitty’s mother called him home for his medication… It’s full moon tonight.
Apparently it’s “past Failblog reference ignorance fail”.
FIRST!!
its not fake. the game really exsisted. look it up on google.
Dude! I don’t see what the fail is on THIS? (Other than maybe hitting someone’s eye, but we can avoid that.)
(I couldn’t have the sound on ’cause I’m in the library. Was it something they said?)
The sound is everything! They are talking about… Well, I cannot say, you will have to listen to it.
What is the sound of one ball breaking?
Crackolotofotofus.
No no no… that is the sound of hitting the fart button.
It’s a play on words, the game’s name is Ball-buster.
Well..”The name of the game is “Ball buster”
the game is called “ball buster”
They flick balls around
Ball buster? As in t*sticle buster?
It’s called “ball buster.” enough said.
ball busters, what else
makes inference on how the game bust ballz…
It is definitely the sound. It’s ball buster. You can bust someones balls with strategy
well you could say that the voice over says : “The name of the game is Ball Buster. It’s a family game. Fun for joking. And for adults it’s exciting! you make stratigic offensive and deffensive moves. Then try to bust your oponents Balls. It’s as easy as checkers. But exactly like pool. YOUR A BALL BUSTER. *lady turns around and winks* BALL BUSTER. A GREAT NEW GAME FROM MEGO.” The music in the backround was the Entertainer.
Now I guess it isn’t wrong, but the way he says it and if you think gross, yeah it’s a fail.
ball buster = nut knocker = nard gnasher = codsack sack = gonzo grinder =
coinpurse crusher = huevo whammo = testicle tazer = 85% of the videos from America’s Funniest Home Videos.
The game is called ‘Ball Buster’ and the narrator said ‘Make strategic offensive and defensive moves, then try to bust someone’s balls!’
Patience fail. If it’s a video, wait ’til you can watch with the sound on, especially if you feel tempted to question the fail.
Patience fail. If it’s a video, wait ’til you can watch with the sound on, especially if you feel tempted to question the fail.
In other words, yes. The sound does matter.
yeah, you really need to sound to get it
BALLS ARE TOUCHING. It’s gay.
(If you don’t get it, ask your Mommy and Daddy about the birds and the bees.)
the game is called “ball buster”
Try the name? “Ball Buster”
Ballbuster? The object of the game is to bust your opponent’s balls?
really?
The name of the game is “Ball Buster,” and they say to “bust your
opponent’s balls,” and at the end of the commercial, the husband
says “You’re a real ball buster!” I guess this one really doesn’t
work with no sound!
You really need to listen to the sound. The name of the game is Ball Buster and you win by busting other people’s balls. The game had me snickering for awhile.
there’s nothing worse than taking balls to the eyes…
and by worse, i mean better!
The name of the game is “Ball Buster” ENG.
Man cant you see the name “BALLBUSTER” Helloooo
It’s the title of the game itself… “Ball buster”!!!
You had to have the sound on.
It’s a commercial for an old gmae called Ball Buster. “Exciting for adults!” XDDD
lol, the game is called “ball buster”. Fail much?
Computer technology fail
well you tell me what happens when a male and a female get together to partake in some ball busting action :] its family fun !
“Ball Buster. A Family game. Fun for kids, exciting for adults!!”
Well, it’s called BALL Buster…
Your goal is to BUST you opponent’s BALLS…
Yes.
Yeah dude, the game is called Ball buster
fun for kids
and exciting for adults
lol
Sad to day, Mattie… But it was a real game.
http://www.megomuseum.com/catalog/1975/ballbuster.shtml
And I got it for Christmas. We played the game for EXACTLY 15 seconds, before we were hitting each other with the plastic balls and it got taken away from us. :’(
Or maybe Amazon Women on the Moon? Or The Groove Tube? (Ha! I know waaaay more old school cult classics than you do, so there!)
20 years in the industry?! Wow! That must make you an expert on borad games of the early 1970s (almost 40 years ago)!
Epic Appeal To Authority Fail.
No, this was actually real. It’s the name and that comercial that turned people away from it.
http://www.megomuseum.com/catalog/1975/ballbuster.shtml
It’s real. Being born a couple of years before 1975, I saw old copies of it around, with pieces missing as a child.
This game is 33 years old. Its from 1975.
*sigh*
Aren’t we all.
Commercial Decade estimation fail.
You’re right – a fake. Not sure if its from KFM or not, but the voice is the same voice as the guy who does the comedy routine for using the F-word skit…
F the F-ing F-ers!
No, this is the real thing. I remember seeing it mentioned in the book ‘Forgotten Fads and Fabulous Flops’ several years ago. The entry described what happened in this commercial exactly.
this is not fake. this commercial was featured on this like dvd of like 4,000 ads that my dad got for christmas
Women come prepackaged with several emasculinating powers apparently.
The only thing we need to learn about it is just how creatively we can do it. That one does take some practice.
I’ve discovered that the tireless, ceaseless, daily dose of nag usually yields the best results.
Nah, it’s the subtle ones that get the most points. More if you can do it in a crowded room.
I love it when they don’t notice they’ve been emasculated till weeks later…and they go “heeeeyyyyyy… wait a minute!”
According to my experience, all it takes to emasculate most men is height and brains. I never bothered learning any of the other methods.
Height is an unfair advantage! You’ve got a double whammy there!
A Double Whammy.
While I’ve met a the odd woman with height, and the even more elusive 1-in-a-billion with brains, I’ve yet to meet one with both. You might think that you’re an exception, but you’re probably wrong.
Erm…what on earth made you think I counted myself as so unique? I have absolutely no doubt that the earth teems with very tall, brilliant women. That doesn’t change the fact that when faced with these characteristics, most men (in my experience) feel somehow emasculated–and often act like complete asses to compensate for it.
Tilda Swinton!
Suddenly I feel like doing the laundry and cooking dinner.
You do that, just don’t bust your balls.
Lady Bracknell did pretty well with this combination too
Hence why you do not have any.
We don’t need to learn it, but it’s nice to keep in practice. *socks scotteh in his package* Yep, still got it!
*slowly moves his hands between his legs for protection*
*Uncomfortably crosses legs*
*Checks to see if the Vienna Boys’ Choir is hiring…. just in case*
*masturbates*
*puts on lead codpiece*
let’s see you try that now mookie!
Are you trying to protect in from Mookie or Superman’s peeping?
hey, it’s got multi-purpose cod piece. it’ll even protect me from nuclear war and dragon’s foom…
i’ve got extras, for a marginal price… interested?
drat… *codpiece
Nothing can protect you from the *FOOM!*
…Nothing.
*evil grin*
bwahahaha! try me, dragon. try me!
Well, the thing is, it will protect. Or rather, part of him. Just one part. The rest is ashed.
Hee hee, it’ll look like a turtle on casters.
*snork!*
*makes sure his athletic cup is securely in place*
Can’t you just find a dummy to practice on???
(Is that too obvious a setup?)
Cant you find a dummy to practice that on???
(Is that setup too obvious?)
*wears a cup*
*made of reinforced steel*
Ball Buster = I dated her is high school
ball-les ftw?
is=verb, in=preposition
Use of correct vocabulary fail
is=verb, in=preposition
Correct vocabulary usage FAIL
Who the little girl from the commercial?
No wonder you guys broke up!
I was too lazy too read all the comments but did someone else mention that this ad was sampled on an UNKLE CD or EP?
It’s fantastic regardless.
You’re a BALLBUSTER!!!
Hahaha agrred. I was disappointed to see i got beaten to it. I was going to say that sisters are always good at ball bustin’
ow…
First?
Failed?
Taze him!
*tazes JustinTime*
Sorry, you can’t taze anyone anymore, BondFan.
By decree of Avis & Ryannon, anyone who fails firsts shall now have his National Pride questioned & shat upon.
Don’t worry! I GIVE YOU HUGS!
*HUGS*
I think the FAIL police is abusing the tazer power, firsters and trolls have feelings too!
We need some laws forbiding the excessive use of tazers and troll cruelty!
Couldn’t we just forbid trolls from having feelings?
They have feelings. Sticky, slimy, and so on.
That would require a lot of local anesthesia around the ass regions, to prevent trolls from having feelings. After all, that’s where they do most of their social interactions: Talking out of it, pulling their opinions out of it, butting into fun threads, and generally having their head up it.
…The Zurack Failblogger Rights Commission protested against the recent tazering of trolls. A law has been passed decreeing that people will now be tazed if they say ‘first’ repeatedly.
What? you think this is a democracy?
SILLY MORTAL!
RYANNON & AVIS, THE HOLY DUO, RULE ALL!
C’mon, gurls! Get him! Spank BF like you spanked Diego!
After all, he’s doing the same thing Diego did…
urwrong,
Do you really think you can outwit me?
You seem to have forgotten that the regulars comprise of Dragon, Loz, Avis, Ryannon, raelalt, Admiral, skwerlly, pob, Mikey D, Zurack, Christopher, etc., etc. And me. Please do not forget the intellects rule all.
BFF, having dealt with this yesterday the best course of action is to ignore. Just flat out ignore. He’s too tiresome to bother with, and why would you challenge the unarmed to a battle of wits anyway?
Of course, the diego situation.
Why do trolls get more frequent during Christmas?
*whistles jingle bells*
Christmas Trolls..
Christmas Trolls..
Failblog all the way!!!
Oh what fun, it is to taze…
Assholes everyday!!!
*takes bow*
It’s a well-known fact that trolls leave their caves to steal Santa’s presents.
College students. With finals done, we have more time to surf the tubes.
For some reason they think they’re entitled to ruin others fun. What better time to ruin fun than “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year”?
I apologize for the earworm.
omg is that Avis!?
*HUG*
*sprays anti-troll repellant*
College students…
*twitch…twitch…*
lol
*HUGS BFF, too*
Who’s next!?
Bondfan. Anti-troll repellent is called deoderant.
Dragonwriter! I missed you! Come, correct my spelling some more!
*HUG*
No butting in line, Chris. You already got your hug…
ah wth?
*HUGS CHRIS AGAIN*
Off you, you scamp lol
STOP HUGGING PEOPLE!!!
THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE HUGGED BY YOU!
*Reflexively breaks urwrongs arms*
You see them when you’re sleeping
You see them while awake
They know when you’re in class or lunch
So thank god for winter break
*Reflexively shoves urwrong in troll cage*
My hugs are UNSTOPPABLE!
*FREE HUGS FOR ALL*
FEEL THE POWAH OF DAH HUG MASHEEN!
You are aware that hugging people without consent is sexual harassment?
Thanks, Marius…I found it!
Not these hugs, Marius.
They are full of sugar & luv & unicorn rainbow farts (was that from this website? I forget)
Anyway, after what some of these people were saying yesterday, I think they need a hug, don’t you?
Then again, EVERYONE needs hugs.
Here’s yours
*HUG*
That argument would get you a restraining order and mandatory sexual harassment training classes.
*Ducks*
And those actions are going to get him banned.
Srsly.
I am the complete opposite of a troll, because I want everyone to be international super friends. Really. Cross my heart.
I think the best way to do it is with hugs.
*HUG*HUG*
Stop hugging ppl… it’s just creepy…
Butteredtoast, let me shake you by the hand, sir.
*SHAKES BTR’s HAND IN A COMPLETELY SINCERE & NONCREEPY MANNER*
…I‘m a college student.
*slinks off dejectedly* Might as well get a hug from urwrong now…
Awww.
*hug*
I’m sowwy. Hazard of the profession.
Whoa whoa WHOA! Lets not get crazy here. You have to be a college student in order to be a college graduate, so you are pardoned.
There there, Titaniumspork. Buck up!
They didn’t mean it. I would offer a friendly, cheering *HUG*, but they seem to be creeping some people out.
In its place, I offer you a sterile, noncreepy, Avis-approved *HANDSHAKE*
Spork, I have nothing to do with this one. It is not pleasant when someone uses your name to ingratiate themselves with others.
Why he thinks MY name would do that is beyond me.
MASHEEN?
POWAH???
DUH?????
*shakes head*
You’re right, Avis. I took a liberty. I”m sorry. Can I offer you a hug of apology? How about a handshake, if the hugs are too creepy?
As for Titaniumspork, I was completely serious in my attempt to cheer him up.
Her, and I would rather you leave me alone.
drat… i’m a college student too…
Her, sorry.
Avis, I now officially offer you the…
*SINCERE LEAVING ALONE OF FRIENDSHIP & HAPPINESS*
@Dragon: *hugs back* *brightens up* You’re forgiven. It’s fine, you couldn’t have known.
@Avis: …anything to do with what?
@Christopher: Thank you. And you have a great picture on your myspace.
@urwrong: *dons a sterile glove and shakes hands* There, much less invasion of personal space. And I should just put the female symbol at the end of my name, there would be much less confusion.
iliketurtles, I would offer something to cheer you up, but that’s illegal apparently. I now offer you a sarcastic “efff you ;P” instead (with the understanding that I mean exactly the opposite & that I really am trying to cheer you up, ehehe)
I have a nice picture on myspace. That has to be the nicest thing anyone’s said to me in hours. I would eat with you anytime.
.
.
.
.Because you’re a spork. Made of rare-earth metals.
(You are a cutie, Christopher.
)
XD Well, it is.
…And I would accept that offer.
I have no problem with handshakes as long as they’re firm. I don’t like those people who hang their wrist when the offer a shake. It like completely defies the purpose of a man’s handshake.
*takes a free hug*
AAAAHHHH! Help me!!! I’m drowning in urwrong’s love! Help! And on a side note, its STICKY! EWWWWW!
Wow! I’m a regular now? I’m so proud of myself!
All that fiber paid off in the end.
Your comments have served you very well, Zurack.
*applauds*
*pushes Zurack’s button*
Ooh, kinky!
It’s not a button, it’s a prism on top of a square.
Zurack, sweetie, it looks like a button. A big red button. The kind that begs to be pushed. But we’ll try to remember that it is not one.
Will not.
*pushes button again*
I want to push it.
*pushes button*
Yay this is fun!
*repeatedly pushes button*
*gets tazed by BondFan*
You will have a nice surprise if I tell you where my “button” is located.
It does quite resemble a red button *more specifically one that says do not push*
But if you say it’s a prism on top of a square I’ll take your word.
*suddenly stops pressing button*
awkward…
Bullshit! It’s a damned BUTTON!
A BIG RED BUTTON!
*PUSH!* *PUSH!* *PUSH!* *PUSH!* *PUSH!* *PUSH!* *PUSH!* *PUSH!* *PUSH!* *PUSH!* *PUSH!* *PUSH!* *PUSH!*
HA HA HA!
oh! shit!
*RUNS* *RUNS* *RUNS* *RUNS*
Oh. A little sign lit up saying ‘please do not press this button again’.
The sign needs to be bigger than that.
apparently, zurack, you really push avis’s button.
Just call me Mr. “etc”…
That’s ok ja fail, I think there’s a lot of us who fall into that category
*sigh*
That’s ok ja fail, I think there’s a lot of us who fall into that category
*sigh
That’s ok ja fail, I think there’s a lot of us who fall into that category
*sigh
More like “Etc. Jr.”
- Mlle Etc.
Hey, don’t leave me and Mookie out! lol
Which Dragon? Me or Dragon writer?
Did I just ask a stupid question?
I’m afraid so, sweetie.
*hug*
Don’t forget Rockstar. ^-^
Yeap, it would be hard for him to outwit a witless person.
Really? What nationality did BondFan label as stupid.
Wheee!
And I believe it was the nation of Trollselvainia.
lol, I would concede the point…
But, after yesterday’s little performance of ignorance & hatred, it’s pretty obvious that Diego is more than just a little justified.
.
I’m trying to change that by making everyone happy friendly neighbors with hugs!
*HUG*
I’m sorry I seem to be a little slow today.
Did you just state ignorance justifies ignorance?
*DUCKS*
Thank you for pointing out my slip in words. I could have chosen something more clear. After all, I worship the Golden Rule as preached by her Holiness Dragonwriter “Two wrongs make a fail.” I should have been more vigilant.
.
What I meant to say was, Diego, basically, asserted that Americans were stupid. The ignorant, hateful deluge which resulted _substantiated_ his assertion.
Rather than proving him wrong, yesterday’s performance made him correct.
.
I would like to see us Americans change our ways from knee-jerk reactions of hatred & ignorance into offers of friendship. Thus, I offer free hugs to anyone who wants them
*HUG*
Please give examples of this hateful deluge you speak of.
*DUCKS*
Sure thing.
Practically everything in the…
http://failblog.org/2008/12/10/cult-procession-fail/?cp=all#comment-201284
…thread is a prime example.
.
Every instance where an American attacked Diego is an example of the hate that contributed to the deluge.
*HUG*
I have read that thread from top to bottom already. What I would like is a single example to support your previous statement.
*DUCKS*
(I know Dragon *Hugs back*)
Wow, take a little break from failblog and I return to chaos.
See? See what you did??
:p
*Sobs uncontrollably*
I’m sorry dear Dragon, I will never take a failblog leave of absence again.
I’m glad to hear it!
*hug*
It’s good to be back, I missed all of ya’s. Well most of ya’s anyways…lol.
Just been crazy busy with work and kids, mostly work. We got 15 inches of snow up here, and the whole county was basically “snowed in”. I live the closest to work, so I get all the overtime. Yaah me.
The first time I tried to post didn’t seem to take. Please forgive if this is a double post.
.
To Dragonwriter: I’m sorry if my use of your words has caused you any distress. I found your phrasing to be witty, amusing, & apropos to the forum, which is why I have repeated it so often. In fact, you were the one who showed me the error of my ways, convincing me that spreading the love was better than calling out the hateful & ignorant. If my words have caused unintended hurt, then I sincerely apologize & offer a *HUG OF RECONCILIATION* in peace in love. If a *HUG* will not suffice, may I offer a *SINCERE HANDSHAKE* in its place?
.
For Marius, if you have read the entire thread from top to bottom, then I do not need to provide any more examples of the ignorance & hatefulness of the comments. Although, hate/violence is never justified (as Dragonwriter demonstrated to me), that the ignorance & hatred (with the sometimes implied & sometimes overt violence) expressed towards Diego has greatly substantiated his claims is clearly obvious.
.
For Crow, welcome back! *HUG*
It’s as you thought, Marius…he can’t come up with a single concrete example of either Ryannon or Avis being either hateful or violent towards Diego. Big shocker there, huh?
first first first first!
first first first first
DON”T TAZE ME BRO!!!!
Just in time for what?….. oh wait.
BFF, urwrong is a troll of the utmost magnitude. Ignore is likely the best option.
I don’t know about the utmost, but yeah, definitely irritating.
It’s a good thing it’s impossible to reach through the computer and throttle someone. He’d probably be dead eight times over, judging how many people he “annoyed”.
*WHAM*BAM*THANKYUMAM*
TRIPLE HUG INCOMING!!!
*HUG*HUG*HUG*
SPREAD DAH LUV!
AHH! TROLL LOVE… it burns…
*HUGS* are not burns. They are the opposite of burns.
For example…
*HUGS BUTTEREDTOAST*
… Did you hear something Avis. *Cups ear intently*
… No, I guess not. But I could have heard what sounded like a sad cry for attention. I must be getting old.
I accidenty my (?) What do I do?
Ask again?
You said you heard something? Funny, I didn’t. Not a peep.
Eh, I’m already sprouting grey hairs. Must be my age catching up with me.
*laughs*
Age? You? *laughs some more*
Young’un!
You can’t see the grey in my avatar, it’s such a tiny pic. Also, the daybefore my hair was dyed. Sadly it never lasts. Grey all over the place.
You better watch out, Avis. One of these days I’ll make you laugh like I made Ryannon laugh this morning, & then you’ll be in for such a HUGGING!
.
INTERNATIONAL HUG DAY! SPREAD DAH LUV! STOP THE HATE!
Gosh, the silence in here is deadening. Lets go hang with the cool people, Avis.
You’re telling me! I’ve been to livelier autopsies!
autopsies?
I wonder if that hearing guy will be there looking for a date…
Young’un? Lady, I’m 27. I remember the beginning of the 80s.
Fraggle rock? I was there.
Slap bracelets, traper keepers and treasure trolls – yep, yep and yep
Remember when wearing neon pink and green together was cool?
Hightops, L.A. Gear lightup shoes, and tying your shirt in a knot – aw yeah.
… Showed you.
You mean neon pink and green together is not cool anymore? Oops!
You forgot the knee high triple striped socks with the runner cut double striped shorts and tight rolling the jeans…
Born in 82!
*High fives Christopher*
*Foregoes high fiving Ja to do the Arsenio Hall arn-copter*
*arm-copter, and I’ll be taking that bukkit now*
*snork*
I could be your…older sister, Christopher!
Christopher, I remember all those things too. And the rubber bracelets, the FIRST time they came around. I remember Reagan’s election. I saw Starwars IN THE THEATRE.
ARRRGG! Star Wars. Grrr, I hate these tiny boxes.
I doubt it. We’d have to be more than 9 months apart, sweetie.
We are. I was born in the 70’s.
I think he was talking to me…you smooth talker you!
However, I am not at all self-conscious about my age. In fact, I’m absolutely thrilled to be this age. I very nearly died when I was 20 (it was so close that the docs called my parents and told them to prepare themselves), so I figure that every year after that one is a gift with gravy on top!
Yeah, I realized that when I scrolled up. And I for one am ecstatic that you are still with us! I imagine the admiral is too, for… different reasons.
Oooh, Christopher you won me over with the Slap bracelets reference
Those were banned in my elementary school after kids accidenty their wrists with them.
(ps – *high five* for being 27)
Geez, I leave for a couple of days and look what happens…..tsk, tsk.
*snork*
You should check out the “cult” thread…you missed quite a lot on there!
completely off topic commet…
how do you do those avatars? this petty design isn’t so pretty anymore….
Go to gravatar (dot) com . They’ll walk you through it. It takes a bit before it shows up, just so ya know.
groovy. gracias.
Bah in my day we didn’t have slap bracelets, we just slapped each other. Speaking as a child of the 70’s …
*slaps the boss*
Oo. That actually felt kinda good. :p
that sounds dirty… is that what people call it these days?
Child of the 70’s here, and yeah we had all of the original trends.
Crow man, where you been?
Working my tail-feathers off. That mini blizzard really screwed things up around here. That and some idiot on day shift got a nice lil virus on the comp’s at work so they had to kill our net connection until they could get it fixed. Plus after sittin in front of 5 computer terminals all day for 8-16 hrs a day, the last thing I want to do is jump on my PC when I get home…lol.
*hugs*
*offers Crow a
coldGuinness at roomtemperature*
Sounds rough man glad to see you back.
You’ve got to be very immature to see the fail in this. Lol
James, I totally disagree.
Although the innuendo is accidental, it is funny in a subtle way.
that innuendo is far from accidental.
In Soviet Russia… the innuendo is still intentional.
And it’s about the farthest thing from subtle that I’ve ever seen.
As opposed to Big Dicks Halfway Inn?
Okay, second farthest.
James Randi? Omg!
True. You have to be very immature to fit in here, as well.
Or else you’ll end up only halfway inn.
BALL BUSTERS!!!!
It appears to be an older commercial. Remember when the Flintstones had a GAY old time?
If there’s something strange,
In your neighbourhood,
Who do you call?
BALL BUSTERS!!!!
It’s “Who you gonna call”, not “Who do you call”.
Fail.
It’s “Who ya gonna call”, not “Who you gonna call”.
Double Fail.
It’s “who-ya-gonna-call”, not a clearly enunciated “who ya gonna call”
Too much enunciation Fail
It’s “Who-ya-gonna-call?”, not a lower-case declarative “who-ya-gonna-call”.
Lack of appropriate capitalization/punctuation fail.
it’s “who-ya-gonna-call?” everything before that is simply prepositional phrases, thereby meaning this line is still a part of that same sentence, henceforth not capitalized.
lack of 4th grade grammar fail.
Are none of you going to point out he put BALL instead of GHOST?
don’t mock them dude…. the ghost busters will come and kick ur- OMG! LOOK!!! It’s the BALL BUSTERS!!!!! EEEEEEKKK!!! *faints from excitement*
Did I just read “*faints from excrement*”???
EEK. Indeed.
first!! lol, what a game
fail.
fail..
*shines the Bondfan light into a cloud*
No, you’re not.
I can’t imagine why this game is no longer being sold. It looks like a lot of fun, apart from the unfortunate name.
No, “First Game” is not a lot of fun! And I don’t see why it’s an “unfortunate name”.
Last. What now?
In communist Russia balls bust you.
In communist Russia KGB bust you.
In fundamentalist USA, DHS busts you.
In Space Invaders, Alien blast you.
In sonic the hedgehog, robotic bunny rabbits kill you.
In Mario, dragon kidnaps you.
In Pacman, yellow circles eat you.
In Monty Python, rabbit eats you. Somewhat.
In pac-man, white dots eat you.
Gah! Fail….. *facepalm*
I do not. :p
*kidnaps dragon*
*SQUEEZE*
*gets chased off by pesky princess*
damn, never mind^^ but, still…very very strange game..balls busted
busted
Ah yes, those innocent times when we didn’t turn everything into a sexual innuendo.
The guys voice when he talks about it being fun for adults too is bordering on the creepy side. You have to admit that.
Yeah, and how about the look on the wife’s face? *Shudders*
There was such a time??!
Are we sure this isn’t a “SNL”-like parody?
This is a real commercial.
Yikes! Whatever happened to “Don’t Break the Ice” or Pick-up Sticks”? No innuendo there at all! Although there was “Hungry Hungry Hippo”…I always got a bad feeling about that game:-)
What about Mr. Bukkit?
Mr. Bucket was a horrible game idea. At least Mouse Trap was somewhat entertaining.
I agree. It’s a parody and probably from SNL. The “mom’s” clothes and hair are definitely from the 70’s and the quality of the clip puts in that era as well.
Not paordy:
http://www.megomuseum.com/catalog/1975/ballbuster.shtml
Wait . . . so the fact that this commercial looks authentically 70’s means that it is, for sure, a parody? What am I missing? I don’t follow the logic here.
Everyone knows the 70s didn’t exist.
It was a ploy by the KGB to keep us distracted while they put monkeys into outer space.
So then I was never born??
Well hell, me neither then
*fades away due to it all being a lie*
Wait EB, don’t fade away yet. We need to figure out where all of us non-existent people are fading to, then we can meet up there.
Nor me. So technically I couldn’t have told you that.
Dun Dun DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.
“Are you sure this is how the game is played?”
“Yes. Shut up or I’ll get out the vice grips again.”
*Masterbates*
*facepalm*
Oh Draaaagon…
Spell check *masturbates*
If your gonna masturbate, use a dictionary please.
Do you look up all the rude words too?
I read the dicitionary for the articles only, honest!
Me too! You wouldn’t believe how many definitions there are for “the.”
I tried that once, but all I got was a really bad paper cut.
*Sloshed petrol around master baitor*
No need for Dragon, as he’s met his match.
*strikes*
No wonder you have Dragon’s heart.
… now give it back. She needs that to live.
She has a very big heart, and I only need the smallest fraction of it.
Really? *Examines heart forensic style* Well, according to the DNA analysis, you take up a huge fraction of it.
*
*Washes hands of any further sappiness*
*smile*
The Admiral knows that he has my heart, but he also knows he doesn’t have to cage it to keep it.
So you have no idea why the caged bird sings.
Well…I do, really. For things unknown, but longed for still…the caged bird sings of freedom.
*hears voice in the background yelling “Sing Freebird!”*
One of my favorite required-reading pieces of literature. The Lynard Skynard, not so much, despite coming from my hometown.
I ♥ Maya Angelou. She’s a damned fine poet and a truly beautiful soul.
But for whom does the caged bell toll?
None of that here. Take it over to the fir lain.
Ballbusters, brought to you by the makers of the game S&M. Wonder if it came in a travel version?
And why do the children left the room? I guess something special happens when the game is over…
Scream until Daddy stops?
Another shift in tense and that sentence would have collapsed.
Something seems up here. They seem to definitely know the meaning of the term.
I doubt this ever ran on American TV.
I don’t understand what is a fail about this. Am I missing something…?
Apparently, a set of cojones.
The fail is that the colors of the balls are weird…
or the fact that the point of the game is to grab some balls and watch them swing back and forth, some might touch eachother. Don’t get too excited!
According to 4chan, this game is gay.
According to The L, this game is gay
According to Raito, this game is gay.
And he would know.
Putting the gay in gayme?
No, they are just painted in festive colours. Nothing wrong with that.
I do that all the time.
*high fives*
*High Fives right back*
Nothing gets the chicks going faster than painted sacs.
*blink*
Faster … as in “away from you faster than you can run”?
Don’t worry, i (for one) know of sarcasm..
Eunuch to look at the video again.
The fact that the lady winked at the end made my balls hurt D:
i found it seductive
rectal bleeding
The medical terminology for what you’re suffering from, is Potatoroids
I recommend talking to your vicar. They seem to know alot about that sort of thing… & hanging drapes…
*AMBUSH HUG!*
*yells in a 70s leading lady voice*
oh my g- christopher look out!
You find rectal bleeding seductive?
Your mom
Sorry, but you are not my mom, that’s totally impossible, I can see her right now and she is not using a computer.
But was she five minutes ago?
Hmm.
This commercial looks like it was made a long time ago. I wonder if this means that the culture was different?
Maybe “ball busters” meant something different back then.
Maybe they didn’t literally have any “ball busters” walking around like we do today in present day America.

Your comment looks like a bad self-promotion!
Maybe you created the Ball Buster?
No, but I’ll gladly perform the service for you
I just googled for “ball busters” mego and poof!
I don’t know if I want your ball busting services…
Gives a new meaning to the phrase ‘wrecking ball’.

We all sound the same.
We do, Mookie, we really do.
We all sound like Sean Connery. From the SNL skits, not the actual guy.
I’ll take famous titties for five hundred, Alex!
I’ll take The-rapists for 600

Well I forget the rest but your mother’s a whore.
The hell? He says “I’ll take the, uh, ape tit…” Not “Famous titties.”

What state allows male-boardgame marriages?
I don’t know, but whatever one is immediately the greatest one.
*Eyes Stratego seductively*
male-boardgame marriages not available in California, Virginia, New Hampshire…
tho many have campained to revoke the ban…
(urwrong are you feeling ok? you didnt harass any one..have you finally learnt you lesson?)
lol, and here I was thinking “harass” was two words.

Nah, I never harass anyone. I’m all about spreading good will & happy cheer via *huggin*

I’ve long since fallen for Connect 4. So many holes to choose from.
The announcer’s voice is creepy.
Bhaaaaaal buster. Now bust a move.
If this is a real game…it makes absolutely no sense. The balls are all so close together it looks virtually impossible NOT to hit one. I’m still a bit skeptical.
Balls are touching.
Sometimes when playing with multiple partners, you just have to grit and bear it.
Ack! Earmuffs Bondfan EARMUFFS!!!!
*puts on earmuffs and runs out of room*
You realize you just caused Bff to get some muffs and run out of the room with them…right?
A couple weeks worth of penicillin and it will clear right up.
They grow up so fast, don’t they? *sniffles, wipes lone tear off or proud face*
Dragon .. you saucy wench!
Ball Buster. From the same people behind Nut Cracker, the fun game for the holidays, and Dick Crusher, the game about the little-known superhero.
Anpu and Lincoln don’t understand Ball Buster. What do you do? How do you win? Why are the womenz winning? If only they knew.
But that doesn’t answer the questions. Anpu really wants to know how to play, how to win, and why girls are so good at it.
The full audio from this commercial was sampled by UNKLE on their album Psyence Fiction. The track is titled “Getting Ahead in the Lucrative Field of Artist Management Samples”
It’s nice to see where it comes from.
Oh yeah, it is….
Sample identification win!
Glad to see someone else who listens to U.N.K.L.E.
I’m glad someone else noticed that.
Get ready to bust your opponents balls!
It fails to be a game?
yet another win
Please work…..
Yeay me!
Okay, but…I’ve never done this before.
*yeays Blue2th*
Hee…!
Glad to see you back B2TH!
I loved the plea in your first post back.
That’s what I’m reduced to after all the screaming and cursing at my computer.
I know what you mean, I think I invented a couple of new words when my post were not posting….words that would surely get me banned.
*high fives B2th* Welcome back, duuuude!
*HUGS B2th*
Thanks. I guess I need to fly under the radar for awhile. I would hate to be banned again.
You were banned??
…That’s just absurd.
It’s just a guess but I believe so. I really have no idea why. It started about 3 or 4 days ago.
Well, I’m glad you’re back!
*hug*
Wow, they ban people around here?!
Usually only for egregiously bad behavior, but yes, it does happen.
Looks that way, maybe someone complained that my nickname was offensive to Fairys or Blue…er…stuff.
Regardless, I can’t post with my original account anymore.
*Hugs* DW!
Maybe they just got you confused with someone Else.
Glad to see you back! *hugs*
Thanks!
*hugs*
Don’t see HOW anyone could make that mistake though.
We could have used your help a few times, too!
lol, the *hugs* are spreading!
*HUGHUGHUGHUGHUG*
Hey Buddy…
*offers out the most manliest grip of handshakes*
We could have used you yesterday… A lot of fun went down a couple fails back…
*fries urwrong to a crisp with one, decisive *FOOOOOOOOM!!*
*sweeps up the ashes and tosses them onto the garbage heap*
And you can stay there until you learn the difference between affection between real friends and asses seeking unwarranted and unwanted attention.
*sadness*
All I want to do is spread the love. This is really true.
*HUGS SELF*
Better again
.
Anyway, good to see you’re back, B2th. I’ve enjoyed your posts int he past.
Glad I ducked in the knick of time
I would like to also say that I have never felt fear like I did when I first glanced at the *FOOOM*ing or urwrong. Have you ever “thought” you were *FOOOM*’d? My heart fell to my stomach…
*wipes brow*
Woops.
*hug*
But you play nicely now, so you don’t need to fear.
I think DW would only *FOOM* you by accident. Would you like a beer to calm down?
*points to double case of beer*
It’s nice to know I can count on you Avis.
*crack! Sssss*
Damn, I lack beer, but I have a full case of free hugs which I can offer. Would you like one?
It’s below. Feel free to read & thus receive said free hug. Please note I am in no way forcing my way into anyone’s personal space. I am merely offering happiness & friendship to anyone who would like a little noncreepy friendliness
Continue scrolling for the free hug.

You lack WAY more than beer my friend.
My god.
How sad is it when someone insists on forcing his company on people he knows does not like him? I think we should get him and my unnameable stalker together. Then they could just play with each other.
I think this is one of those people the Admiral was talking about yesterday.
*throws can at urwrong*
Thanks, ja fail! But, I don’t drink beer. I just don’t like the taste.
Below is a hug, if anyone should need one

RE: *throws can at urwrong*
Maybe it’s the lack of sleep but that comment made me laugh out loud. I got a metal picture of some faceless guy (ja fail) throwing a empty beer can at another faceless guy (urwrong).
*giggle*
anyone seen the metal picture I had?
*mental…crapola.
The can was not full.
..
..
Ahh, B2th… So glad you’re back.
Is it this pizza-shaped thingie over here?
“The can was not full”?
Is that a koan? Like “the cake is a lie”?
No. I threw an empty can at you.
*throws another can*
thanks again, lol
*looks at the can, hoping for a pepsi twist*
*sigh* No luck.
*passes the can back to ja fail with a HUG attached*
Are you going to answer my question?
*sigh*
.

*starts the van and the search for Avis*
Re: Are you going to answer my question?

I’m sorry; was that directed at me? If so, what is the question? The beer knows all….
*crack! SSsss*
Are you talking to me, Marius? If you’re asking about mistake in using the word “justified” earlier, I have already addressed your point in an above post.
.
ja fail! While you’re out, can you pick up a case of pepsi? kthxbai!
Yes I was talking to you URW. I see it now.
throwing a can at urwrong, all I could see was
“Throwing a can at your wong,” like I threw a can at a mans
junk. Far more humorous that way.
*sigh* Maybe I’m softhearted, but I don’t think urwrong’s that much of a troll… at least he’s not swearing at us or posting sexually explicit terms. *throws urwrong a teddy bear* Here. You can hug that when none of us let you near.
Ahh you are soft-hearted my curvy spork. And yes he is a troll. Currently he is not spouting any of his previous vileness but he is still acting in a trollish manner. Which includes continuously posting in such a manner as to purposely annoy other commenters on here. His attempts at foisting off hugs and
friendliness is about as amusing as Janet Reno.
He is a troll with his constant attempts of ‘hey look at me’ and attempts at proving his intellect by arguing semantics and belaboring a point which he has already contradicted himself on and he has completely missed the
irony that his actions have validated other peoples opinion of him.

that was cool! can you do it again?
You fail. Try google.
This is a George Carlin sketch… you can tell from his voice.
Your joking, right?
Want! This one and the laser game. Looks like my Christmas list taken care of.
hehe, this game is for sale on ebay.
wait, its a different game with the same name…saddness.
Do you want your ring, then?
Aw, damnit, I just lost the game!
hehe kid koala sampled this a while back
I just like how he emphasizes “Then try to bust your opponent’s balls…”
old news is old
Doesn’t look fun at all
this sample is used in a record of dj shadow. just fyi
The music is called “The Entertainer” and it’s from a movie called “The Sting” that came out in 1973. Just FYI.
Fun yet irrelevant?
Fish! Yikes! Indecent!
What’s funny is that before I even began the video I recognized it from an UNKLE sample. What a great lapse in thinking; the ending is the best/worst.
What Kyle said. I just thought it was something UNKLE made up. Trippy to see it!
The sketchy announcer voice is just a metaphorical cherry on top of this sundae of fail.
The cherry is metaphorical, but the sundae is not? I really want to try a sundae of fail!
this website needs more cowbell!
Wow, that game does indeed look boring!

GUESS WHAT! GUESS WHAT! GUESS WHAT!
IT SNOWED HERE, ACTUAL SNOW! THE WHITE FLUFFY STUFF! LIKE 3″ OF IT!
It never, ever, ever, ever snow here, EVER!
It was Hilarious!
The News People Freaked OUT!
The populace of South Louisiana was “frozen in fear!
SCHOOLS, BUSINESSES, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES all CLOSED!
White Stuff was just everywhere, it stuck well.
They can barely drive in the rain that happens constantly here.
I smartly stayed home and slept!
Now it’s gone! It’s raining again! Now it’s safe to go out.
Oh, you are so lucky! It snowed here 33 years ago.
And I was not alive to see it!
where you at?
what!?!? you never see snow!?!? if you want some we got plenty to spare here in the woods of wisconsin. i’ll fed-ex some your way.
Zurak where you at?
And the reason so many trolls and idiots are about, Christmas / Winter Vaction Time has all the kiddies with nuthin’ better to do except harass us for the trivial sadistic thrills it gives their otherwise empty useless lives.

Nothing like failblog kicking you when your down.
Yay!
FailBlog double posting and making ME look like an Idiot, gee that’s nice.
Sorry guys—this vid is a SPOOF. No such game ever existed. This has fooled people for years.
You have ruined my day. I hope you are happy
(( Ignorance really was bliss.
O rly?
I didn’t know mattmigl meant ‘dream crusher’ in latin :<
Game fail, my ass… this is an Epic Win. And of course, the wife is the best at busting balls.
first?
God I hate this site. So many lame comments that just turn into chats. You know, there are many other ways to communicate with your friends.
So, about the clip. Fun game! But the announcer sounds a bit slow, almost retarded.
first!
I can never understand why people who hate this site come here. There are many other ways to spend your time.
so nobody is gonna taze me god damnit
Well alright if you insist. . .Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzap!
They come here to “flame” and look for attention. Remember that negative attention is still attention, and maybe thier life is so shallow that even getting told to “shut-up” is a bright point in thier day.
There are also many other ways to show your disdain for good times among friends and witty banter, i.e. say it out loud to yourself and and not foisting it on others.
Well, yes, but not on this site. It doesn’t have that handy “send a private message” option, and we can’t really post email addresses for fear that trolls will get them. I’m surprised Dragon even has her site linked. So the only way we can really stay in contact (besides myspace, which some don’t have) is through comments.
Wow, a Nickname. I’m so cool. Now I can call myself Dragon and post “first”.
*ahem*
I would advise against that.
I have now read the entire failblog. Productive use of time fail.
Also, this video is quite SILLY.
thats not fail it looks kind of fun.
That actually looks kinda fun.
apparently they made this game just so they could have a guy call a woman a ball buster in their commercial and get away with it…hence the wink.
*winces*
or as U.N.K.L.E. called it, “Getting Ahead in the Lucrative Field of Artist Management”
Wow. There was another game by the same name. Link under my name.
Maybe it’s just me, but when I heard the name of the company I thought “Mi-Go?! As in the Fungi from Yuggoth??!!”
Just me, or did that voice sound like George Carlin?
DJ Shadow samples this whole ad on Endtroducing. I always assumed he was making it up or somehow exaggerating it. But, no, DJ Shadow almost doesn’t elaborate, at all. I still can’t believe it actually exists.
*winks… it kinda turned me on!
BALL BUSTER… who came up with that name!?
Does anyone else feel like failblog is turning into whateveryoufindaslongasfailissomewhereinthenameblog.org?
My wife plays this game all the time, although we have never owned the actual board game
is football funny, too? i mean…it’s footBALL.
Or basketBALL? lol how funny!!
Ha, this is so familiar. It’s on the great great greeeeaaaaat UNKLE-Album “Psyence Fiction” under the name of “Getting ahead in the lucrative field of artist management”
I SWEAR that is Adam West doing the V.O. for that game
ommmm good
DJ Shadow Win!
Fail from a company that had so much win going for it when I was a kid. (Micronauts really need to make a comeback!)
I just failed, because this made me lose the game.
I lost the game.:(
five hundred fifty-third!
I just lost the game
I’ve seen a video on this before. I can pretty much see the fail, but the fun has been sucked out.
Tbh, I find the fact that they called it “fun for the whole family” and then in the commercial repeatedly showing them getting frustrated and walking away from the game to be a bigger fail than the name is. But maybe that’s just me not being immature.
Why the hell do they use the music from the movie “The Sting”?
Makes me wan to buy it for the kids……
I’m drinkin’ all that Booty Sweat and Bustin’ The Nut!
Lol. “Its as easy as checkers.”
It looks like the easiest game in the world.
LOL i it you with my BALLS
ballock busters….
“bust your opponent’s balls” what?!!?! actually that game looks pretty fun.
I’m crying

“Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
