Max Headroom for Coke (1986)

COKE IS CA CA CA CA CA COOL!

[trickstick84]

This was directed by Ridley Scott, between movies. The "mother" is Elisabeth Sladen of Doctor Who fame, but her voice has been dubbed by an American actress.

I've always liked this commercial. I'm so glad I found it here on youtube.

I really miss the 80's but I'd never want to go back to that decade ever again...does that make any sense?

[frofro73]

Then don't fucking drink it

[Lightner445555555555]

Feels so strange watching after all these years anyone agree?

[jeremygrooms77]

@Lightner445555555555 Yes it DOES...and alot of the the old stuff I forget from the 80's then see now takes me wayyy back...its pretty cool how that works huh...

[itachi19135]

Wasn't this when Coke came out with New Coke?

[TeslaDRay]

[EmeraldPlatoon92]

(mother leaves)

"Stick 'Girls gone wild' back on!"

This answers a mystery I have had.

I recently had to start drinking all diet sodas and when you go out to eat, there is ether Coke or Pepsi.

And at before if they had Pepsi products I would gat Dr Pepper to avoid Pepsi. And now that I have to get diet a lot of places only have Diet Pepsi. So I eventually just got Diet Pepsi thinking I would hate it.

It was not that bad.

I could not understand why I thought I hated Pepsi now I know it was that first commercial.

[canonet17]

Gee, these two commercials make me feel old! I remember them airing in the mid 1980s and have not seen them since. I think there's a third in this series with the kids where they ride with him into a clubhouse and max says "af, f-friends!.....'

[xsoburg]

The pirate who hijacked the 2 TV stations in 1987 also said catch the wave!

[nomyek200]

@xsoburg He was holding a pepsi can in that broadcast thought haha

[leeroynaggins]

Never really warmed to Max Headroom. Just thought he was annoying.

[Shadeprint]

His character comes off too over animated in the ads, and alot less clever.

[DavidYakima]

Hey...We love Max Headroom... He was very funny! Bring BACK MAX to Cinemax!!!

All carbonated beverages burn like fire, and those who drink them clearly have no sense of touch.

[SenorSpode]

At least we don't douche with them like you do.

[SenorSpode]

You must be a vegan. My sympathies.

[NotQuarex]

No, I hate vegans. Steak does not burn like fire. It is just burned in fire.

[the06bug]

How does a fizzy drink "burn" to you?

[NotQuarex]

How does it not burn to you? My throat feels like it is being scraped with sandpaper whenever I drink something carbonated. Soda must just be a gateway drug to alcohol or something, because I can think of no other reason anyone would do that to him/herself.

[the06bug]

Ouch!

[VaderNES]

Coke doesn't burn my throat. In fact, drinking Coke is a pleasant experience for me. Pepsi, though, burns my tastebuds because it tastes like shit.

[wildpeaks]

As much as I hate water with bubbles (tap water tastes so much better to me), no that's not a doorway to alcohol, some just taste good (being a Sprite and Coke drinker for years, now also Red Bull). We all have different tastebuds I guess, some people will love a meal that others will hate, imho that's the same reason why carbonated drinks taste so bad to you.

[lfrage]

I drink more Coke than Pepsi, but I drink Sprite most often, which is manufactured in the Coca Cola Company.

Nevertheless, this is a classic commercial that is worth remembering. Old school still rocks today, and this commercial is part of it.

[mrceleb2006]

If you're drinking Coke, who's drinking Pepsi?

[SenorSpode]

Shitney Smears

[mrceleb2006]

Oh my! That's a really bad name!

[mrceleb2006]

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

[mrceleb2006]

WOW!  Great commercials...too bad New Coke flopped; Coca-Cola Classic replaced New Coke around 1986, yet New Coke later re-emerged as Coke II.
