Max Headroom - Coca Cola Diner Commercial (1986)

[JHollowayNetwork]

Max Headroom aired on Cinemax at that time (later on ABC in 1987).

Y'know I heard that this Coke campaign sort of backfired and people began to buy more pepsi.

@maxcardun 25 years ago new coke was rolled out. It failed miserably for two main reasons. One - it tasted EXACTLY like pepsi (figure that one out) and two no one wanted to embrace the new coke. So coke released two versions of coke. new coke and coke classic. Within a year the new coke was gone leaving the original coke.

Where there's a wave, there's a Coke!

If you're drinking Coke, who's drinking Pepsi? (Audience yells "YOU SAID THE 'P' WORD!")

Be a Coke-ologist. Don't say the "P" word...say "Catch the wave, Coke!"

"Let's try coke again!" - The official motto of the 80s

Matt Frewer played Max & he was just incredible!

[Mackadoeshez]

Max Headroom had a nice run for Coke- I wonder how much he(the actor who played MHeadroom) got paid for his tenure?

[DCTGoddess]

The radio spots were really funny, too.

do you remember a scene in the movie back to the future II where marty Mc fly was at the "cafe 80's" ronald reagan took on a max headroom like personna on a tv monitor?

[RodimusBen]

There is no part of Max Headroom that is not awesome.

@RodimusBen did you know that max headroom was NOT computer generated?
