Paramount is continuing its “Anchorman 2” marketing blitz with the release of Anchorman 2 Scotchy Scotch Toss. The mobile game, available for iOS and coming soon for Android, tasks you with tossing ice into Ron Burgundy’s glass of scotch. The game features over 300 sound clips recorded by Will Ferrell himself and has four different levels, each one based around a location from the second film.
The levels include: Ron’s Apartment, Ron’s RV, the Channel 4 news desk and Tino’s Jazz Bar. The game itself is simple enough; all you do is toss ice cubes into a drink. However, it’s the one-liners and the artwork that truly make things awesome. Anchorman 2 Scotchy Scotch Toss is just the latest in a long line of promotional efforts that include a run of commercials for Dodge and Ron Burgundy co-hosting sports shows and events for TSN and ESPN.
