Ballbuster Commercial talk

[Mikey]

Everytime I see the Ballbuster commercial I have to laugh

YouTube - Ball Buster

Question,
Was that commercial ment to imply what we think it's implying ?
Or are we looking at an innocent 70's toy commercial with 2008 perverted eyes ?

I've wondered the same thing. I'm pretty sure the phrase existed, but it might have been left for the lockerroom and, hence, a bit of an inside joke. I'm pretty sure I didn't know the phrase back then. Then again, my 4th-grade girlfriend was always nagging me about this or that.

look on wife's face at end of commerical

I have the commerical on a tape with other Mego commercials. I love the look on the wife's face at the end of the commerical. When her husband call her a ball buster.

As for type1kirk question in post 1. Maybe a little of both. I mean words or phases, do take on different meanings as time goes by. At one time being referred to as gay meant you were a happy/lively person, not limp wristed. Another example in the UK, Canada, Austraila, New Zealand, AKA British Common Wealth; you ask someone, if they have a ***? That means a cigarette not a gay/homo lover.

You might want to be more tolerant here. We have several members who would probably take great offense to your last comment. You could have gotten your point across without the derogatory remarks.

As for the commercial, it sure seems like a double entendre was purposely in use there. Are we sure this commercial aired? Many of the Mego commercials on those collections were presentations for Toy Fair, and were never broadcast on television. Ballbusters is so obviously meant to imply "that", that I would think 70s censors would have yanked it off the air.
