I recommend you download this. Sure as hell beats "The Betty Hutton Show"!

Well made commercial for what looks like a silly but fun game. Effective and Classic.

I've used the visuals from the movie to make a movie called Suburban Swingers. Come on by www.hoppervideo.net and check it out. Also, if you're not yet aware of the vloging movement, there are useful links on my site.

I am old enough to remember seeing this ad on TV. "The Prisoner" used the classic "Dry Bones" song in its awesome final episode a bit earlier, and it ran on TV in the US as a summer replacement series at about the same period as this commercial. Odd.

Pick a card and hold it with a partner between body parts like the card says to. But, ya know, some "bones" aren't really bones and don't connect to other bones, so I'd bet the execs at Parker Brothers realized they were boning the audience with this.

Rather silly commercial for a rather silly game. Sort of like twister, except more perverted lol.

Yup, it's there, but you'll have to watch one frame at a time.

A demonstration ad for a physical card game in the tradition of Twister. Clothing looks about like 73-74. The game is very silly, but the production style is fairly traditional, which seems a little unusual with the common use of jiggly camera techniques and crazy shot angles today.
