Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

New Nissan Titan commercial. Someone needs to identify for me.

Looks like Flip Flop to me.

I liked that show.

A pinball in a commercial for Tic Tac Gum but not a real pinball but plays like one.

Diet Dr Pepper commercial Expressway in the background can't make out the other. Is it me or are they using more pinball machines in the background lately?

OK no picture but I can tell you where and thought it odd that they had a pinball there.

Diners Drive-Ins and Dives (Triple D)

Season 18 Titled: Tennessee Traditions

The place was the third one I think and had a Mexico pin.

OK saw this on TV but was to fast for me to make out the pin. It was again on Diners Drive=Ins and Dives. A little bit of a puzzle to solve if you can. Details below.

Season 21 ep. 10

All Baltimore All the Time

Clementine

Quoted from schudel5:

That 70s Show season 3 episode 3 'Hyde's Father'. Williams Big Deal in the bar of the opening scene.
[quoted image]

I just saw this on TV about an hour ago!

Not sure if this has been said but "Friday the Thirteenth Part 3". Some of the camp people go to a bar and saw KISS and another that I could not name as it was kind of blocked by the people.

#2449 3 years ago
Quoted from DennisDodel:

Could it have been in Friday The Thirteenth Part 2?

Yes it might, but look on the thread "You might be old" and the answer is most likely there.

Saw a show on Discovery channel called "Small Town Throwdown" and part was on “The Most Boring Town in America" Lubbock Texas at a bar called Flipper's Tavern. LOTS of pinball stuff and games but you will have to watch it to sell all of them. Just a heads up.

#2560 3 years ago

Just to put this out on SNL in the first and second season (as I am watching them again) A what looks like a baseball pin is shown quickly when the credits begin. This has been talked about before right?

Quoted from schudel5:

Watching old 1982 episodes of The Price is Right on Pluto TV. In the showcase showdown one of the prizes is a Gottlieb Volcano. Yes, the girl won the showcase and pinball.[quoted image]

Now you only need to track it down from a 39 year old program and buy it.

Quoted from bssbllr:

Not a movie or or tv show but a Kia commercial.
[quoted image]

I saw this the other day and it caught my eye. But wondered if it was just a made-up pinball or a real one.

OK I looked and could not find this here and am surprised it hasn't been spotted. Piolet show Starsky & Hutch two pinballs in the background before they go in and bust the bookie. Just caught a minute of the show but did spot a few pins!

The guy who is next to the closest guy is at a Ms. Pacman game I know.

Is that a young Adolph Hitler enjoying pinball!

Quoted from girloveswaffles:

Caught an episode of Kolchack: The Night Stalker on Me TV last night that started in an arcade (episode 6: Firefall).
Several pins and lots of EM games in it:
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
More are seen at the forty minute mark:[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Confirmed that Swinger and Four Square in it as well as a Williams Gridiron pitch and bat. There's another pin next to the Foursquare (a Williams) that I can't identify.

I saw that episode and the pinball machines. I think I said something about it in an earlier post about year ago or so. Isn't that the one where he burns the place down with all those pins inside! That is a horror story!!!

Quoted from frenchmarky:

Saw a nostalgia-oriented public service anti-smoking TV commercial about getting your lungs screened and it included a little snippet of folks playing pins in the 70s. You can see it on Screenyourlungs.org front page too. But it was almost like they were lumping the perfectly harmless vice of pinball in with cigarettes, roller-discoing in the middle of the street and driving without a seatbelt. XD
[quoted image]

#card-whiz is the pin after the closest one DanMarino just picked one up on another thread I just read along with a Fireball.
