1960s Twister Commercial
I don’t know exactly when this commercial was broadcast but Twister was first released by Milton Bradley in 1966. It’s unfortunate that the commercial is in black and white given that the game involves so many colors.

The first time most people heard of or saw “Twister” in action was on “THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JOHNNY CARSON” in May 1966. He demonstrated exactly how the game was played one evening (with Eva Gabor as one of the players). Everyone involved wound up in “knots”, the studio audience howled, and most viewers went out and bought the game as a result. This commercial was transferred from a black and white kinescope of a live/taped program, so I’m quite sure a color version of this commercial was seen as well.
