BANG BOX Game 1970s TV Commercial

Vintage early 1970s television commercial for the game BANG BOX. I actually had this game when I was 8 years old but was totally disappointed because when the flimsy plastic nails got nailed into the holes, they would just slide across the balloons without ever breaking them. The commercial for the game SWACK! is my favorite: • SWACK! Game 1970s TV C...

It was filmed in Germany and he never got to see it on air. Yesterday was the first time he ever saw it. :-D

This commercial was actually filmed in Munich, Germany and used American dependent children from the military base in Munich. I don't remember who the other children were, but I was the blond haired boy. (By the way, the voices were dubbed).

That's great! Glad to know you found this.

[@CatherineAndersonTX]

The dark haired boy is Peter Lussier, my boyfriend. I can't believe we found this... HAHHAHAHH!!

So many toy names,food names,whatever were changed back then they were perceived as "offensive" hard to believe Bang Box got by ?

This is not the kind of result I expected when I did a Google search for "bang box"... ;D
Someone could make a fortune by reviving this game with the title "Hurt Locker". :)

The little girl with the brown hair looks just like "Carrie" from Little House on the Prairie, which was also made in the 70s. Could that be one of the twins who played Carrie?

[@leiali3419]

The sound of the popping balloons are unsettling for me personally. 😬

@StaticCharge759 oh well that makes sense

[@ginaven1]

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

@CherryFrog321 No that's not her but it does sort of resemble her. I can tell it's not her.

The voice in this video makes me really, really, irritated

[@ToonyKid]

Does anyone know who’s doing the voice? I think it’s Mel Blanc or Stan Freberg?
