Paranoimia

[ParadoxEternal]

This dude is having the hangover of his life.

[subsonic600]

evergreen...

[cronikproductions]

I'M TRIPPING BALLS!

[Lulzman69]

Dude.

Max Headroom should totally host Know Your Meme. :O

[Staals2]

My brain hurts

[PhawkxS]

I just Love this GO_OFY Shit! hahaha ROFL*BREATHE*!!!LOL!

[banq0o]

epic vid :)

[ToiletBomberAlpha]

@banq0o - No, it's wicked. That's the proper 80s slang for this. "Epic" is for emo fags.

[banq0o]

@ToiletBomberAlpha now that was wicked :P

[algarragonz]

I,ll see you when i was young in Mtv show. you,re wonderfull.

[paarsefrikandel]

trust me

[Trund27]

Love the suit!

[tvc18]

is that my teasmade?

[Antrozous812]

He looks a bit like Ryan Stiles.... :-)

[zeromeobass]

Named my son after Max. There is a striking similarity.

[haaibaaithebest]

@zeromeobass Whats your sons name?

[ToiletBomberAlpha]

@haaibaaithebest - Max? I doubt the kid's first name is "headroom".

[haaibaaithebest]

@ToiletBomberAlpha 'twas a joke

[zeromeobass]

@haaibaaithebest Whoops--been a while. Yes, his name is Max. I never would have gotten away with Headroom as a middle name.

i saw this video at disneyland in a place called "videopolis" in the late 1980s. it was on about 40 small screens and one giant screen with a dancefloor for folks to "swing". i was frying my ass off on acid,and it was a very surreal experience. i'll never forget it. standing on a level above the dancefloor with this song booming from a state of the art sound system,and max on every screen was such a trip. the dancers were all in the dark with colored lights and strobes illuminating them.wow!

[dhinge]

This was the last thing Max Headroom did before he faded into obscurity and is probably the reason.

[darklordzden]

God, I miss Max...

Watch out for those 'Blipverts', folks.

[INITIALSJE]

Maybe I am wrong, but I remember this was the official video for Paranoimia by The Art of Noise, right? I was a fan of both Max and Art of noise, but just making sure I am remembering correctly.

[RocStarr913]

@INITIALSJE Yes, this was the music video for "Paranoimia".

[INITIALSJE]

@RocStarr913 Thanks, man. My memory has gotten a little fuzzy over the years!

[clifbuel]

Awsome video!

[princewilliamusa]

Max knows.

[aliciaginalee]

Man this takes me WAY back!

[clank4001]

this brings back bad memories of how bad the 80's were.

[ZeitgeistTheSeries]

@clank4001 more like how awesome xD

[acydrayn]

@jurgentdi OMG, when I saw the Dragon Eye break through the Mah Jong board I about lost my shit! Those graphics were such a huge upgrade from my Commodore 64!

[bfall66]

I stopped watching MTV when this and videos by bends like Adam and the Ants went out of rotation. Why do they even call it Music Television anymore?

[BLUFISH61]

Max reminds me of a few not quite yet totally forgotten hangovers - Max was great. Shame he's still not around as a contemporary quasi-neutral-areligious-geopo­litical-roboclone-voice of the people crusading-commentator type, or something? The world could do with one of those . .

[peternoer]

Matt Frewer?

[highestcount]

Oh yeah. He also played the super-annoying time traveler on Star Trek the Next generation.

[acydrayn]

@peternoer Yup.

[ianuk2008]

Reminds me of my childhood, fantastic

[Spudma]

i have the beggining conversation with myself everynight

[tisjken]

I love the voice of Max, missed the episodes on MTV earlier. Thanks to you tube now I can see more...

[floppysockys]

what..the....fuck.

[Firecat7409]

It's a generation X thing, you young whippersnappers wouldn't understand ;)

[floppysockys]

lol ok, 1; my comment was a shit long ago, and 2; yeah i wouldnt understand..but it was trippy, i wouldnt care to understand lol

[12161euclid]

@Firecat7409 ha! betcha never thought you'd say that!!

[zeroprod]

I do miss Max, he was cool and funny to see when they had him on MTV.

[goonies3000]

@zeroprod If you look on the net or here on youtube, HE'S BBBBBBACK!!!!!!!

[amulpatel07]

art of noise.... fairlight cms + Lexicon 480 -> forever!!

[myusernameu2b]

omg, i remember this from when i was a kid and mtv really played videos

[TVMeusPensamentos]

the song reminds me Beakman's World!

[cirquedumaddy]

This is so weird! HAha I love it though

[Tubbs80]

I used to have a cd/dvd laser lens cleaner and after the 3rd step when it came to playing a couple of sample songs(15 seconds each), this was one of them.

[Cityskater1998]

This is one of the best songs ever!

[yuseroner]

it's a trip fly! lol

[kelseydani123]

HAHAHHAHAHA we did a dance to this at school.

[RethParish]

Yeah, Max Headroom! xD

[XiamSynthpopFan]

Random as hell!

Buts its like he saw the future, 'Swing doors open'. Its like he new windows will come!

[daddydog97]

LMAO :-) What a fun flashback! Thank You, zeroprod!

[ArubaSailing]

O.K doors; swing lol

[bkzfinest541]

WOW! I remember this! MTV (when it played music videos) used to play this alot! Sure brings back memories!

[Kikaulitz]

This song is so stupid god !

I saw this for the first time yesterday, start to like it in the end.

I laugh soo much with is face and stupid dance --'

I love the video clip and the song now ! xD

[raydeen2k]

Let's have some of that digital swagger. ;)

[nenadaudio]

This is Music and Art.... Forget Madonna, Britney Spears, and other MF's!

[ghicaccatta]

bestiale!!! ancora oggi dopo 20 anni!!!

[dobrav99]

A Superb creation!

[MITYF]

Seems like a dream, a bad dream...

Thanks Mark(Kaiserwilhelm23) for sharing.

5* for the creativity!

Hugs. Maria Inês.

[kaiserwilhelm23]

fantastic song great film

[chrisflx]

Classic.

[Venkman007]

Max Headroom could TOTALLY come back, what with the internet and the like.

[raydeen2k]

What makes you think he left?

[linkkid185]

@Venkman007 YES YES YES YES YES

[WolfieStorr]

Notice that, although max is a guy in a mask, that he's still a lot more realistic than most CGI is.

CGI still doesn't look real [human] enough yet.

Wolfie!

[stigandr]

mindfuck

[mailenz]

cazzo che bello

[zentaivillain]

Actor Matt Frewer in heavy make up and a plastic suit and shot at 3/4 speed made a very convincing computer animated figure.

[belandigianluu]

sta song mi fa venire l'ansia

[exactspace]

instead of paying for good computer animation they instead made a video that LOOKS like its computer animation

[splasher08]

the backgrounds were done in cgi, but there simply wasn't the technology to do a realistic human in cgi 20 years ago....

[GBart]

...what?

[toxicwasteoid]

too bad jim carrey ripped this guy off

[thickbrianq]

I was King Tuting like a mug back then, also had a mean and seriously delicious lock pop!!!woooooooooohoooooooooooo­ooooo

[ColAbernathy]

Pity, I thought this was an awesome campaign. The kind of technology today, they'd be able to resurrect good ol' Max. ;)

[mignonhenne]

why am i nthinking matt frewer and sining doctor,doctor ?

[docarmoleo]

I don't get it,only 12k views.I find this video facinating.

Great editing for a 80's clip to.

obs:

[mignonhenne]

"us forces get the nod".lol.paul australia

[KENVAIL]

probably cause it doesn't say who the artist is in the heading.

[docarmoleo]

But even the videos highlighted as Max Headroom haven't that many views O.o.Guess his just not loved^^.

[TONYDANGERtv]

I think it's because many people don't know him at least the new generation I like maxs stile

[zeroprod]

yea, when i was a kid i would hope mad max would show up on my tv. Funny how anything could be possible when your a kid.

[ZeroTheHero85]

This clip is so fucking sweet.

[Ibonyez]

Max was my hero!!! I used to be able to do his facial expressions and stuttering real well. I used to drive the people around me nuts when I did that!! LONG LIVE MAX!!!!

[johnthefarmer]

Come sweet slumber, enshroud me in thy purple cloak.

Hmmph!, doesn't even rhyme.

Classic!

[haxberry]

God I love Max.

[bigmacintn]

Oh, Max. Glad to see you are still 20 minutes in the future.

[h2opologirl757]

holy crap. he is fuckin creepy haha!

[XofficialXcommentorX]

His hair looks like plastic.

[romaji2]

Close. Probably latex rubber. It's all makeup and video effects.

[ukbadman12345]

lol ooo right

apperently he was on this drum and bass channel wif his head flicking nd loads of dodgy lights behind him and hardcore drum and bass playing it got banned because it messed yah head up lol fkin carn trust no1 can ya? lol

[ukbadman12345]

has this been banned because it fucks peoples head up?

some pisshead told me about it lol fkin dodgy

[zeroprod]

lol no it has not been banned, its just society wanted something new. i guess we got to go with the new technology.

[GunterBE]

I was looking for some clips from the Art of Noise, never heard of Max Headroom before. Love this song though.

[joncrane37]

Max creeped me out. He would always studder and have high-pitched voices and low voices. I love the show, but it sort of creeped me out.

[zeroprod]

yea, but something's are best left unknown, to preserve the fantasy.

[BabyBeastie1]

He's wearing light colored contacts, his hair is rubber and his suit is made of fiberglass. LOL

[artvark1177]

Okay. It's official...I'm getting older. lol.

[Ducksquatch]

I had forgotten all about this vid since I was a teenager. So glad I found it again, it ROCKS!

[wogglebugte]

Remember Ron Headroom in Doonsebury?

[NDPortsmouth]

It was actually Ron Headrest. Garry Trudeau was a big fan of Max Headroom. Headrest was so popular back in the 80s Back to the Future did spoof of him. Remember the Cafe 80s?

[ebackhus]

I remember seeing that scene and thinking... "This is unreal!" I showed Max to some of my friends recently and none of them remembered 'im...

[zeroprod]

ha do you all remember in back to the future 2 when there in the 80s cafe and its the president acting like max headroom. totally awesome !

[zentaivillain]

I used to think Max Headroom was a computer generated image. But I soon learned that it was actually actor Matt Frewer wearing heavy make up and being shot with a camera running at slower than normal speeds.

[metalheadprime]

max headroom would make a good telertran 1 in

transformers g1

[gunhawk3000]

I would laugh 'til I died if Max shows up as Teletran 1 in the new Transformers movie. That would be a total geekgasm.

[metalheadprime]

but it would be so cool...lol

[JohnGuzik]

Good to see this video back.
