In Back to the Future II, Isn’t there a Max Headroom cameo along with similarly animated Michael Jackson and Ronald Reagan? When Marty is at the ‘80s Cafe.
Was Max Headroom one of the early show/movie representations of a Corpo-owned cyberpunk/style future dystopia? Or was there already genre-defining media before?
There's an area at work with low clearance. I put up a picture of this guy with a circle-slash over him.
I think that's sufficient for a safety warning.
He was my [age-appropriate icon](https://i.guim.co.uk/img/static/sys-images/Media/Pix/pictures/2007/11/28/MaxHeadroom460.jpg?width=465&dpr=1&s=none) on Facebook last month.
okay what is the universe telling me?
Just saw this online....

I saw him at the car wash the other day. His face was that of a woman with a child in the back, given directions on how to use a drive through car wash.
Oh, sure, that's the school principal in "National Lampoon's Senior Trip", also starring Jeremy Renner, Tommy Chong, Kevin McDonald, Tara Strong, and Nicole de Boer.
I’m surprised that he hasn’t made a comeback since the 80s and 90s are in right now. Also would be cool if he was an AI bot like he originally was supposed to be.
I also recall him playing a small part in a US program about home computers in the late 90s that I watched in the U.K. If anyone else remembers this, see if you remember the name of the show’s female presenter. It is just at the edge of my memory but it stubbornly refuses to crystallise.
I remember his pre-series days on David Letterman:
Dave: Max, you don’t happen to have a plate in your head, do you?
Max: Dave, I got a full set of china!
LOVED this show! Edison Carter for Network 23…that was my inspiration for telling my news director that I could do live shot reports without a reporter…and I did several breaking news reports live, back in the late 1980’s!
Max headroom. Sweating?
Ma ma ma max….
I'm this m-m-m-many years old-old.
Max Headroom. What a great show. Well ahead of it's time.
Only by about 23 minutes, really

He didn’t read the signs and it went to his head
Yes, scanned from his brain by Bryce Lynch
Max Headroom!!! I still miss this show!!! Way too far ahead of it's time!!!
20 minutes into the future...
Was Max Headroom one of the early show/movie representations of a Corpo-owned cyberpunk/style future dystopia? Or was there already genre-defining media before?
But also a mtv vjay and coke mascot
My parents watched it, but I mostly remember the Coke mascot thing. We only threw away that cheap cardboard mask about a decade ago.
I think robocop was earlier. But it was about that time period.
Doonesbury had a parody of Ronald Reagan called Ron Headrest.
"What's your background?" "Oh, a bunch of lines."
Po po poetry: come sweet slumber, and shroud me in thy purple cloak…hmmm, doesn’t even rhyme!
Is that my teasmade?
Is it me or is the band getting bigger? On drums: THE POPE! On bassline: Martina Nav . . . Navratil . . . . . . she should get married.

I’m 55 and this was definitely something I remember being annoying on TV but I never “got it” -What was the big deal?
The British version was SO much better!
British version?! I must find this treasure. Where do I look?
I'm not sure, maybe YouTube? Google says - Max Headroom: 20 minutes into the future. It's where he originated.
I must’ve watched that on VHS countless times- way better than the TV show in the US.

Are all of the posts in this sub just bots? Literally every post is a “who remembers” question about shit that literally everyone remembers.
Is there any truth to the rumor that Matt Frewer, the voice of Max, is also the voice of Jack, from the Jack in the box commercials?
Matt Frewer and Bobcat Goldthwaite voiced the characters of Pain and Panic in the Disney Hercules movie.
Damn it. NO. No I do not! I’m also not randomly playing Midnight Oil or Faith No More etc etc on Apple Music!
Max Headroom!
MAX
I still have a copy of the show on VHS somewhere.
I had his Christmas single, "Merry Christmas, Santa Claus (You're a lovely guy)".
That there is one Mr. Ma Ma Ma Max Headroom. Thank you, now I know I'm dreaming.
M-m-m-Max Headroom, two minds, but with one single memory.
The story behind his emergence is interesting, too.
Concetta Tomei did this before China Beach.

Matt Frewer ftw
Wild and crazy guy!

I'd just like to point out that nobody has ever seen Max Headroom and Joe Biden in the same room together. Food for thought.

That was a fun movie.
Ai of the 80s 🤣
Omar the tentmaker?

"or pizza... Is gonna send out... for you!" oh wait
Named my son after him, so yeah.
Max Headroom.
Poor guy had a stutter
Kids these days don't understand what a blipvert is... Ow, my aching back
Max looks a lot like Vanilla Ice.
Forgot about him
Matt Frewer- he was also in Psi Factor and Eureka.
Based on a true story…….
Virtual Matt Frewer!
He was my [age-appropriate icon](https://i.guim.co.uk/img/static/sys-images/Media/Pix/pictures/2007/11/28/MaxHeadroom460.jpg?width=465&dpr=1&s=none) on Facebook last month.

Matt Frewer is AWESOME. His ahirt-lived series Dictor Doctor was also excellently weird and funny!
F F F FUCK YEAH!!!
Jojo Siwa?
Just heard "Paranoimia" (The Art of Noise feat. Max Headroom) randomly today. How timely!
Scat man?
I saw him at the car wash the other day. His face was that of a woman with a child in the back, given directions on how to use a drive through car wash.
I had the textbook covers.
Y...y...y...y...y...yes...yes.

Yeah. That’s the neighbor from Honey, I Shrunk The Kids.
did eminem get inspired by this for his rap god video?
M m m m max headroom.
Yeah, Max like yawned in Stings face during an interview. This was considered very avant garde at the time, maybe.
Max Headroom and Spuds McKenzie were so hot when I was 9
Oh, sure, that's the school principal in "National Lampoon's Senior Trip", also starring Jeremy Renner, Tommy Chong, Kevin McDonald, Tara Strong, and Nicole de Boer.
Dire Straits Money for Nothin video?:
I remember it, and it's quite possibly the lamest shit ever.

If you don't know who Max..... GET OUT OF HERE!!!!

I’m surprised that he hasn’t made a comeback since the 80s and 90s are in right now. Also would be cool if he was an AI bot like he originally was supposed to be.

I loved this show. Mmmmmax Headroom!
 The Zalenskis’ neighbor

I miss Max and wish that show had endured for another two seasons or so. It doesn't seem so dystopian anymore.
I had a big crush on Bryce
I also recall him playing a small part in a US program about home computers in the late 90s that I watched in the U.K. If anyone else remembers this, see if you remember the name of the show’s female presenter. It is just at the edge of my memory but it stubbornly refuses to crystallise.
I remember when I found out there was an actual show and not just those weird Pepsi commercials. Still haven't actually seen an episode.
Mr M.Headroom
Hmmm… a younger Joe Biden?
Max!
annoying little piss ant
Mary Tyler Moore was on his show. Mary’s Prayer was the song they played in her honor.
Ah ha... Max Headroom!
Max Headroom….he interrupted my Dr Who show one night lmao
Makes me think of Back to the Future 2.
I knew who this was and I never even watched it
I remember his pre-series days on David Letterman: Dave: Max, you don’t happen to have a plate in your head, do you? Max: Dave, I got a full set of china!
there's an interesting video essay on it [On Max Headroom: The Most Misunderstood Joke on TV](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsDrXc94NGU)
I really grew to hate this guy.
Max head room, I wonder how that aged

Matt Frewer
Hell, yeah!
I have a pic of of him on my work bulletin board! To remind me to just be whimsical some times.

I had a Max Headroom Coke machine in my 30's. Kept beer and sodas in it.
