''Whoa Nellie! Big Juicy Melons'' (usually just called ''Big Juicy Melons'' or ''Whoa Nellie!'') is a single-player PhysicalPinballTable, the first pinball machine from [=WhizBang=] Pinball.

The game was publicly unveiled at Pinball Expo 2011, and all four tables were quickly sold for a rumored price of $14,000 each. Some die-hard fans have since taken to creating their own tables, with Greg Freres sharing the cabinet art and [[http://www.classicplayfields.com Classic Playfields]] selling playfield plastics.

The creation of ''Big Juicy Melons'' is documented on [=WhizBang=] Pinball's [[http://whizbangpinball.blogspot.com blog.]]

A digital version is planned for ''VideoGame/SternPinballArcade''.

* AbsoluteCleavage: On all the girls.
* AlcoholHic: There's a ''very'' drunk guy in the lower-left corner of the playfield.
-->'''Drunk:''' "''*Hic*'' The brest band ''*Hic*'' best brand ''*Hic*'' ever!"
* ArtShift: The ''Big Juicy Melons'' machine eschews the conventional pinball machine design to look like a series of melon crates stacked on top of each other.
* BadassBeard: Papa Mellon has one.
* BareYourMidriff[=/=]WhoWearsShortShorts: Melony and Ellen.

* BMovie: In pinball form! Feels like a raunchy comedy than no respectable theater would show.
* {{Cap}}: The score caps at 9,999 points, as there are only four scoring reels in the backbox.
** However, the Stern release has a miniature DMD below the left flipper that can display higher scores.
* [[ContemptibleCover Contemptible Theme]]: Many pinheads refuse to even acknowledge this game due to its {{Fanservice}} theme.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything[=/=]DoubleEntendre: The game is ''filled'' with these, shamelessly and unabashedly, usually involving the girls and big melons.
-->'''Hick:''' (pointing at a flock of geese) "Look at them honkers!"

* ExcitedShowTitle
* {{Fanservice}}: '''LOTS.''' Lifting all those heavy melon crates requires the girls to do lots of bending over...

* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Three of them, even.

* HelloNurse: On the backglass, Melony is standing while holding a pair of melons, oblivious to the lustful farm workers (and horse) completely distracted behind her.

In October 2014, Creator/SternPinball announced an agreement with [=WhizBang=] to mass-produce ''Whoa Nellie!'' tables, using a blend of electro-mechanical and solid-state components such as mechanical score reels, real bells, a digital soundtrack, and modern serviceability features while retaining the original's look and feel. These tables are scheduled for release in early 2015.

-->'''Greg Freres:''' "Since we are industry guys first, we looked at this as an opportunity to make a game with a theme that we could never do in a commercial environment."

The game was publicly unveiled at Pinball Expo 2011, and all four tables were quickly sold for a rumored price of $14,000 each. Some die-hard fans have since taken to creating their own tables, with Greg Freres sharing the cabinet art and [[http://www.classicplayfields.com Classic Playfields]] selling playfield plastics. Creator/SternPinball was reportedly exploring the feasibility of a small production run, but nothing has been announced.
