No way that's from 1961.

Pong is a table tennis–themed twitch arcade sports video game, featuring simple two-dimensional graphics, manufactured by Atari and originally released on 29 November 1972.

I think it is a reference to the first filmed “rage quit” by Ralph Baer which was in 1969 over an early table tennis game that then inspired Atari’s Pong.

it's actually a reference to "video games cause violence"
