Max Headroom interviews Sting

[BelatedCommiseration]

You know...there really was a point in time where Sting and Bono were virtually indistinguishable from each other...the same air of self satisfied pomposity seems to have swallowed even their features into a sort of wannabe stylish but actually somewhat bland whole. I suppose Sting must have been playing along to a degree, but its a shame they don't do this sort of ironic and irreverant style celebrity interview anymore. I can think of a few celebrities who could use it.

Size 7-1/2 shoes??!!! Well, you know what they say, "Small feet, small _____."

[ZeskoWhirligan]

Whoever posted this clip truncated the very end, where Max asks Sting "Who does your hair?" and Sting — feigning offense — snaps back, "Who does YOURS?"

Max answers, "My hair is a mold." XD

[paintmn1]

Sting...what a pompous self absorbed british twit.

[LoquaciousInkSlinger]

@paintmn1 Oh, goodness... Must we be so negative? I find him witty and intelligent, and I happen to be American.

[xMadelienex]

Sting wasn't annoyed :) he was acting along with it! He's a very witty man that Sting

[Dracopol]

Can someone translate the Cockney? I only speak Chav!

[kalack99]

Dentists with harry arms! Ha! LMAO!

[simonraindrum]

"Irishmen and Irishmen." Lol.

Eschew sentence continuity!

[Heliope1]

Sting's smile is soo charming.

[SouthOCmixdown]

"Jazz musicians.........trrrrrrrrrrr­rrendy!" LOL

[TEQWINMUSIC]

sting has very small feet

[vapourmile]

I often wonder how much of this was pre-scripted? I mean, did they manage to interact live or is sting just reacting a pre-taped video? Are stings answers pre-scripted? And if it is live, how much of the content does Max actor Matt Frewer ad-lib?

Anyway: A memory of better times.

[darryldelay]

This is from the last episode of the original British series; before the Americans took it and stuffed it up. This vid rocks. Thanks for posting

[fireblade929]

this is fantastic, i still remeber it so well, this could be played now and still be cutting edge, its still really funny.

[b0lly]

the kinky boots interlude is hilarious.

[pazzensutra]

Max operates about as well as most computers do nowadays in the turn of the century. Thanks for posting this, by the way. This is very funny.

[pazzensutra]

Sting's glasses are stupid.

[HotBroodish]

nuh uh.

[vapourmile]

Botox?

[mrmerdoc]

Excellent. Good old Max created in the UK by C4 and loved by the UK.

[TechnoEstate]

"Since the words of your songs are clearly very important to you, what's it like playing in foreign countries where maybe they don't understand them? Like, ah, right off the top of my head: America."

XD !!

[vapourmile]

Yep, that was the highlight for me too. gave me a nostalgia trip for the days when humour was witty and not just people acting stupid! X: )

[scottvanska]

What an ugly set.

[an80sGuy]

Totally better then the US show. Way more Max in this, and that is good.

[parasiticprotozoa]

Awesome nostalgia trip! Cheers! I watched this first time around and I'm pretty sure it was 1985 or 1986. IMDB agrees.

[stigandr]

he's such a yuppie tho

[swami1]

Good clip, but it's not from 1985. Max Headroom debuted in 1987.

[wolf359x]

Max debuted In the USA in 1987, but started on British TV in '85

[swami1]

I stand corrected.

[symboitesRul3]

Lol...god Max Headroom is such a douchebag it's hillarious.

[billheartyface]

love that yawning.

[67genxer]

[toomstargfunk]
