[Snowuk95]

Your love is fading.

[armandolarch]

Dang! I miss the 80's

[Chupacabrathe2nd]

I'm better than Chuck Swirsky, frickin' liberal!

[JoeAmerica5316]

That guy is actually Matt Frewer, the neighbor dad from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.

[legocontrollerjr]

the actor's real name is Matt Frewer.

[lsmftymf]

File under Incredibly Rotten 1980s Popular Culture.

[squareenixable]

excuse me, what the fucking is this?

[AshleyMarkPomeroy]

@squareenixable It's the 80s. In thirty seconds.

[mst3k54]

@squareenixable Hahaha! It's what happens when you do a lot of coke and vote for Ronald Reagan

[03030303]

Its obvious now what kind of "coke" max was referring to.

[KopOut8]

Max Hedroom was voiced by Matt Frewer. You may know him from Eureka, and also the new movie 50/50.

[ShawnRavenfire]

I think it was brilliant marketing to put Max in the Coke ads BEFORE his show actually premiered. I remember, by the time the first episode actually aired, I was really interested to see just who (or what) Max actually was.

[xthemuzic217]

39 people prefer Pepsi over Coke.

[matthewgaryify]

Jim Carrey copied him just like any other person who gets successful off the first person who did it.!

[TooCool2Khan]

Old School!

[NomaTheFox]

It turns out the man portraying this is Matt Frewer. Look him up.

[awebb005]

lol I was like 3 when this guy was popular.. he freaked me out but i still owned a pencil case w/ him on it lol :P

[squall600]

max headrom is conan o'briens future son :)

[PalerLaze]

CM Punk does not approve.

[philipmarie1854]

This is the same guy who played Moloch in Watchmen!

[nexus6767]

@philipmarie1854 no its not, its matt Frewer, the guy who played Moloch was Jeffrey Dean Morgan. . . .

[philipmarie1854]

@nexus6767 What are you talking about? Jeffrey Dean Morgan played the Comedian not Moloch. Matt Frewer played Moloch.

[Snak37x]

@philipmarie1854

Matt Frewer played both Max Headroom and Moloch watch the movie and see for your self.

[terryfink]

@Snak37x He also played Jobe in the atrocious sequel to Lawnmower man.

[Snak37x]

@terryfink

never saw it and don't think i'd want to.

[jfoley715]

Fuck, what am I watching?

[ExecuteRobot]

He looks like Dennis Hopper in the Super Mario Bros. movie.

[0Anesthetic4u]

Dude sounds like Jim Carrie.

[Refazhe]

@0Anesthetic4u Its Matt Frewer, who pre-dates Jim Carrie

[0Anesthetic4u]

@Refazhe I know exactly who it is. The Neghibor from Hunny I Shrunk The Kids. He still sounds like Jim Carrie, who is mare famous then Matt Frewer.

[dukes0916]

I Remember these from the mid/late 80's! Thought Max would have remaind as an 80's pop icon. (As was suggested in Back to the Future II!) But for whatever reason... he didn't??? I never thought of it before... but I wonder if his mock-interviews with celebrities was the insipration for Space Ghost Coast to Coast?

[MileyCyrusRulesBOBW]

I still see the X...

[Arrowwulf]

Your love is fading

[evilunixuser1]

Was Maz gay? Anyway, I like Dr. Pepper.

[kellywurxfilms]

More MAX!! search  "max headroom rare coke"

[MasterCheifn343]

What the hell did I just watch?

[dandyky]

This was from when Coke was drinkable. Now it has that nasty HFCS! Yuck!

[FRANKIESHANOWSKIY2K0]

the uk television network channel 4 created max headroom

it was a successful hit over here so the shows producers

took the concept to the usa and they bought it but sadly

it was cancelled after the shows second season run

but it originaly was concieved as a tv chat show on

channel 4 in the uk after season 2 brit amanda pays

starred in the wb showtime seried the flash that starred

richard belzer (munch from svu).

[BustersTexas]

headroom looks like a NIGG!!!

[360deeman]

You all know that for the first time in history pepsi is in third place right behind diet and normal coke in sales? Coke sells more = more popular

[darkguardian1314]

I just realized I can see Jim Carrey in Max Headroom.

[TheCottonTop]

@darkguardian1314 Well their both from Canada.

[AvocadoTomato]

@darkguardian1314 You mean you can see Max Headroom in Jim Carey.

[jaworskij]

Coca-Cola Corp should go back to putting Marijuana into Coke instead of sugary Glucose-Fructose that causes Diabetes.

[xanos4225]

@jaworskij I would love some Opium Grape Juice right about now.

[totalrandomcrap]

My brother wore the other one... but it's dirty!

[LaGreatChrisMaxie]

Mitt Romney?

[chadberry75]

isnt max headroom canadian?.

[JustVlogswithJess]

@chadberry75 Max Headroom was a fictional character from the 80's the real guy is Matt Frewer. Matt Frewer was born in Washington DC but raised in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. so Yes He is Canadian. :D PROUD TO BE CANADIAN! 

[tuff47]

@JustVlogswithJess "Blame it on Canada" ..... Song from South Park. :)

[GreenShirtsonPurpose]

Apparently, this actually moved product back in the day. But what can I say, Headroom is a pretty swank dude....

[army7989]

actually now most people prefer pepsi to coke i know i like pepsi better! after all pepsi is for those who think young lol!

[skuzzbucket69]

you can watch the series online at

ovguide.com/tv_season/max-head­room-season-1-75361

[TheSouthernFiend]

If you ask a Coca-Cola employee about the cocaine being in the original recipe, he'll deny it up and down...but we all know the truth.

[Sharptooth100]

Max Headroom is voiced by Matt Frewer.

[CeruleanFilms]

@Sharptooth100 Max Headroom *IS* Matt Frewer, in a partial mask. CGI was not that advanced in the mid-1980's. They applied video gimmicks after the fact to make him look digital.

[FRANKIESHANOWSKIY2K0]

@CeruleanFilms

actualy it was a prosthetic piece it only went to the shouldiers

and filmed matt infront of a bluescreen the piece was worn

over a white tshirt and matt wore jeans but the piece was for the top half only

but uk childrens show called scratchy and co where the top piece on the

presenter was similar to the max headroom piece and the show was aired

every saturdays at uk time 9am

[jaworskij]

@Sharptooth100 , yes and then in 1987 was Max Headroom of elite run Network 23.

[AlfieJ06]

sounds like Jim Carey...

[xXxSHOOPIExXx]

@AlfieJ06 No...Jim Carrey sounds like Max Headroom.

[fyfytj]

This guy scares the fuck out of me.

[wtfiypaw]

@fyfytj lol

[JASONFIED]

Talk about strange irony...in Back To The Future 2 they used the Max Headroom gimmick (but not actually him) in the cafe 80s scene and Marty McFly ordered a Pepsi...hmmmm!

[stuierayvaughn]

Lol hahaaa

[largelysubatomic]

Yea jim carrey in the mask is just like this character.

[NoIDidunt10]

The Max Headroom novelty wore off after the first commercial. One of the embarrassing things about the '80s

[jernellerosales]

this is where Jim Carey got his inspiration for Fire Marshal Bill I bet.....

[logmein84]

Jim Carry stole his personality from him. I feel so enlightened.

[rhgrafix]

Love Max, he was right in the middle of the awesome 80's music video explosion.

[lenneth3]

Jim Carrey Ripped Off Max Headroom

[danocean111213]

i still like the ronald reagan version in back to the future 2 better.

[JgHaverty]

Was he jim carrey? Time frame is about right...

[MFO86]

@JgHaverty No, he's not Jim Carrey, but they do sound an awful lot alike, don't they?

[JgHaverty]

@MFO86 yeah i looked him up :D. It wasnt really his voice more then his deanor. If you watch ace ventura, he kinda moves all spazzed out like that :D

max headroom is AWESOME, they need to bring him back haha

[JgHaverty]

haha shit was awesome

[perspectivehorizon]

i loved this in the 80s watching vice

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

These commercials are fu-fu-fu-fucking awesom-m-me.

[TheCaptainLulz]

OMG. That brings back the memories. The cans too, those where the cans with the push in round tabs. They where steel cans if I remember correctly.

[rocklobsta1415]

damn everybody was so coked up in the 80's, lol not the soda

[79tazman]

Coke Rocks Pepsi Blows

[NitroNorm5688]

My brain hurts.

[UbikValis2]

I'll just quote Bloom County here: "who cares? they both taste like malted battery acid."

[vidEOkid12345]

Hmm, i am not one of the people preferring coke over pepsi, its the other way round for me :3

[SailorVhoorl]

Need....to stop...pressing replay...so...addicting....

[Lowgaen11]

Coke sucks. Dr. Pepper is where it's at

[AlecsRandomVideos]

@Lowgaen11 and Who Produces Dr. Pepper?

[Jozabad]

@AlecsRandomVideos That would be the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group. You might be confused because regional Coke distributors also carry Dr. Pepper in places where Mr. Pibb is unavailable.

[DancingSpiderman]

@Lowgaen11 No...

RC Cola is where it's at

[zigzigzig]

Coke? More like coked up.

[revaluator]

Is he plugging that new formula Coke here which was such a marketing fiasco?

[ladyluck2096]

what a coincidence.... im drinking pepsi right now

[SteelCity1981]

They should do a Max Headroom movie staring Jim Carry.

[hanmorrison]

so scary

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

this brings back the 80's memories!

[ekmad]

lol the 80s, when every other TV ad was Pepsi and Coke bitching about each other

[hyancinth70]

Matt Frewer played "Max Headroom".

[sickcartoons]

This takes me back

[rozzie101]

i remember this commercial...

[JonteTheMan1]

Pepsi is much better than Coke

[daroowins]

I think this Max Headroom guy is stupid... hes not very funny, just stuttering words and a little rubbery.. just always bagging Pepsi and catch it if you can-can.. catch it catch it. doesnt excite me much, was this da bomb back in the day? am i the only one? Btw i prefer coke.

[juventinorocks]

@Gorrrillla5 ok thanks

[TJae1]

@Gorrrillla5 ~ btw ~ did Carry & Frewer ever meet ?

[TJae1]

@Gorrrillla5 ~ Carry claimed he copied off some ppl he met in hollywood ~ Mayb peter sellers, Jerry Lewis, & 3 stooges ~ among other things & the loud clerk that said~ "there's not a Bible in all Hollywood " aka Matt Frewer gotta note that ~ He's definitely allllottt like this guy *

[SuperWeaves]

Youtube poop man of the 80s

[TJae1]

 who was funnier this dude or jim carrey :

[MrGrevy]

@TJae1 This guy isn't remotely funny, so Jim Carey wins by default.

[TJae1]

@MrGrevy ~ that was Gorilla's line ~ 4 Me ~ uhhh ~ whatever wets Ur whistle ~ Chris Rock/Chapelle R funny ~

[MrGrevy]

@TJae1 Rock and Chappelle are negroes for god's sake of course they're not funny.

[TJae1]

@MrGrevy ~ tighty whitey ~ more funny ~ Lol-no ~ max was amusing ~

[Milesco]

Lame commercial, but I can't deny that it has a cool look and style.

[bertfreez]

remember his show? when i was a kid i hated it .....maybe i was too young to understand what was going on

[robertschelly]

I remember quite clearly when this very popular, Reagan-era plastic trash came out on MTV; it was the end of something and the beginning of something else . . . something that really sucks. MTV itself was wired to fuck people up. A few of you may know what I mean.

[frickfrock999]

Did he just cum at the end?

[BuckeyeSecretary]

So is Jim Carey Max Headroom?

[Milesco]

@BuckeyeSecretary: No, Matt Frewer was Max Headroom. Archadios is just saying that Jim Carey appears to have borrowed his distinctive mannerisms from the Headroom character.

[pcappelli]

I wrote this commercial - and all the Max Headroom Coke commercials. It has nothing to do with cocaine - no more than Coke does.

[mudkipNDS]

C-c-c-catch the wave!

[CheddarCheesePlanet]

s-s-sweaTING

[dhinge]

Max Headroom needs to be remade with Jim Carrey as the lead.

[evilemperordude]

@dhinge Why not Matt Frewer? He reprized the role three years ago in a Channel 4 ad campaign, and he can still do it well.

[TJae1]

@dhinge ~ absolutely ~ @ least as an homage 2 his hero 1 ~

[JERice7]

Coca-Cola should bring Max back. Kids today would love him and adults would love seeing him again. Max Headroom was classic and one of the best ad campaigns Coke ever had.

[lassewardlaw]

can you idiots read? Archadios is correct. read people!! otherwise you look stupid.

[silasbonneau]

its not a straw, its a microphone

[TumblingDice1972]

this is mike love

[noswanson1982]

Jim Carrey was not Max Headroom. Max Headroom was played by an actor named Matthew "Matt" Frewer. Matthew Frewer was the Trashcan Man in the TV Miniseries adaptation of "The Stand."

[darknessofsauske]

max headroom and carry are awesome

[pinkee66]

Love the 80's!!!

[MFO86]

Now that I think about it, Max Headroom and Jim Carrey do sound somewhat alike...

And before I forget, this truly is a giant masterpiece for all the Greatest World Newpaper nerds.

[chrismofer]

@MFO86 oh haha. i think im the only one that got that. that guys voice is so garbled, many people didnt know what he sayed.

[jsilence418]

Christ this character was anoy noy noying!!!

[vidaa82]

max is soooo 80's! i love it. its hard to get more 80's than him.

[MattTheSaiyan]

New Coke = FAIL.

[vmelkon]

@MattTheSaiyan It was said that most people liked the flavor of New Coke better than old coke but people demanded that old coke be brought back.

[Infinitesimalism]

Am I the only one who thinks his voice sound almost exactly like Jim Carrey's not to mention the mannerisms themselves?

[teliots]

Matt Frewer (the guy who plays Max) was on Star Trek once and I always thought it was Jim Carrey.

[DancingSpiderman]

matt frewer is a doppleganger of both jim carey and of max headroom

beware zee Milky Pirate... MY HANDS R BANANAS

[cutless74]

I forgot about this dude. Wha memories.

[Rachman1337]

This guy is scary after seeing the MH Incident. Yeesh.

[ShodexTube]

He looks like the Borg Queen. :D

[speakercoilmusic]

@nicholasdgarcia @Archadios wow... this is really creepy, and I agree with both of you that this both appeals subliminally to coke heads (pardon the pun), and also that this totally seems like Jim Carrey's inspiration. lol...

[ingibingi2000]

new coke hahaha

[JPLOWMAN2]

dude this guy is trippin'. And whats with the flesh-colored hair?

[SQRTDOGG]

I meant to put Jim Carey. Damn iPhones thinking they know how to spell every frickin word Grrrrrrr

[SQRTDOGG]

No, Jin Carey did his voice on letterman. It's a good one. Go max go

[Rashaan1987]

I admit I found Max Headroom only recently, but I watched a lot of videos, read a lot about him and all I can say that wasting this character on commercials and TV shows was the dumbest thing to do.

This character could be capable of much more things. So perfect...

He could have been an icon. Not a slutty commercial face. Too bad. :(

[boogiefever1985]

@Rashaan1987 It is the common story with the music industry. These artists could be capable of so much musically, but they are reduced to strippers and sluts in music videos with no talent. Lady Gaga for example is classically trained in piano, think of the amazing pop music she could potentially make. The industry ignores that, dresses her up in a bikini and shoulderpads and gets her to sing like a robot, whilst not playing piano (her real talent) at all. WHY??

[starclone12]

his expression kinda reminds me of Heath Ledger's Joker.

[Mato1970]

I love the bit where he goes "nitty gritty time." I wish they'd bring this guy back on TV!

[simba703]

The reason he's not on TV anymore is that stupid "Max Headroom Incident" that happened on WGN at 9:14PM for 25 seconds and at about 11:20PM for 1 minute and a half. Google it.

[AEMoreira81]

@simba703 In addition to the WGN incident, there was also one on WTTW (Chicago PBS channel 11).

[simba703]

@AEMoreira81 Thats what I meant at the 11:20pm one.

[ApolloKun777]

@AEMoreira81 The PBS incident (which can be seen on YouTube) is really disturbing. I mean, it's just BIZARRE, what with the spanking, and the non-sequiturs... Brrr.

[Maxthemetalkid]

He looks like Koopa from the Super Mario Bros. movie.

[jslashboro]

wut the hell r yal talkin about

[Archadios]

Jim Carrey totally styled himself on this...

[jessie74]

Wrong!

[SicSolution]

oh...I thought it was Jim Carrey voicing the character...damn

[Mato1970]

No, it's Matt Frewer. In addition to starring in the sadly short-lived Tv series of this character, he's done numerous other projects (most recently, a role in "Watchmen."). Google him.

[sportsoracle]

@Mato1970 - Matt Frewer recently appeard in the Alice in Wonderland movie starring Kathy Bates

[hondacr60r]

@Archadios for sure ! i use to want to be this dude when i was 6 or 7 lol

[hondacr60r]

@Archadios oh and vanilla ice lmao

[hiruleshouse]

@Archadios you're kidding right? That wasn't jim carrey....was it?

[Gameguru667]

@Archadios It's not Jim Carrey ya git, its Matt Frewer, he also played Professor Rasmussen on Star Trek TNG

[atmhso]

@Gameguru667 I didn't say it was Jim Carrey at all, ya git 8D

[DarthBlam]

@Archadios my thoughts exactly... or atleast his character in The Mask

[juventinorocks]

@Archadios thats jim carrey?

[Milesco]

@Archadios: Interesting! I never thought about that until you mentioned it -- but yeah, I think you have a good point there. (I now see in the list of suggested videos on the right side of this page that someone else has noticed the Jim Carey connection as well.)

[stopthrm]

@Archadios Its nit Jim carrey. MATT FREWER!

[VICTOYA]

@Archadios whoa....you are SO RIGHT!! even down to his voice! I was telling myself, wow, it sounds so familar & recent!!! good catch!

[Reykjaviking]

@Archadios was just thinking the very same thing..

[evilskittlemonster]

I am SOOOO youtube pooping this bitch!

[TLucretiusCarus]

@evilskittlemonster - roflmao - What in Hades are you talking about?

[Notebooked]

Ahh...such a crazy bastard.

[GTBurns48215]

Remember the old coke cans

[coldflow90]

too bad he was for new coke not coca cola haha new coke sucked balls [from what i've heard] i mean people literally had riots about it and shit haha

[Hotshotter3000]

I was a pepsi addict before I quite soft drinks all together.
