Created by the same directors as Super Mario Bros. the movie (yikes), Max Headroom was a pop culture phenomenon. He had TV shows, movies, Coke commercials, and even was the subject of a controversial broadcast signal hack/piracy.
In this video, we dive into the creation, story, and eventual demise of Max Headroom.

If he comes back it must surely be, ironically, as genuine AI - but that AI must absolutely be trained to include all of his glitches, too, as that was a huge part of the comedic value.

Yea I recall this well. Micheal Jackosn and The Ayatollah Khomeini Headrooms in Back to The future 2. I think it would work in 2023/2024 with the talent of Jim Carrey, but make it more adult orientated but not too suggestive. Have to use the electronic glitches and the creepy silver eyes.

Same! The 1980's was definitely a unique decade! I was born in 1980 so I grew up watching MTV and all of the great sitcoms from that time. Whenever I talk about the 80s with my kids, Max Headroom is one of the many things that I remember from back then that I tell them about.

It's crazy how he seems even more relevant now than he did in the 80s. AI, CGI technology, deep fakes, social media, ARG's... 80s nostalgia and the whole vaporwave aesthetic is also huge nowadays. I could easily see him getting a revival. A lot of interesting things you could do with him.

@jackderrida Год назад

He''s incredibly relevant because every other science fiction writer assumed that artificial intelligence would fall on the opposite side of the spectrum, like Data from Star Trek, and remain there forever. At least, I can't name a single example of anyone that came closer. ChatGPT understood sarcasm, jokes, innuendo, and all the things deemed impossible for a machine by all popular depictions, and it even learned all those things better than the average human even before learning how to add two triple digit numbers.

My most FAVORITE thing about Max Headroom was that the Background and Chroma Keying was originally done on an Amiga Computer which I and many Undergound people used in NYC...it was like the Neo Geo of its time. Obtaining games was Like Napster with the MP3's when they came out.. People swapped floppies and discovered sooo many unknown games that we would otherwise never have know about. This was right on the shoes of the Commodore 64 underground success as well....meanwhile outsiders were using 8 bit NES and Sega Master System (very few people). Max Headroom inspired me to do CHroma Keying on the Amiga and party being a VJ at a night club (not the hosting kind like MTV but the DJ kind with video...using the Very Amiga Computer!). Ahhhhh the good ole days..this went on until 2008 for me.

How did the Art of Noise fit into the Max Headroom Equation? They had him in their music for a time in Paranomia... which I loved. I also thought the show was brilliant. For once, something interesting was on American TV. Snarky, cool, and artistic. It was nice to see it hit the mainstream and take over for awhile. A genus concept from the beginning to the end.

@patrick-lt2nv 10 месяцев назад

Yes, I remember that single, and it was called "Paranoimia" on The Art of Noise's China label. It enjoyed a brief life on my radio show at KDUP in the fall of 1986.

@sennahusk3407 25 дней назад

What are blipverts

@jw8160 23 дня назад

@@sennahusk3407 From Meta AI: In the classic 1980s TV show "Max Headroom," Blipverts are a fictional form of high-intensity, condensed television commercials that play a central role in the plot. What are Blipverts? Blipverts are extremely short, attention-grabbing ads that: * Last only a few seconds (hence the "blip") * Are incredibly intense and engaging * Contain rapid-fire images and sounds * Are designed to be irresistible to viewers In the show, Blipverts are used by the sinister television network, Network 23, to captivate audiences and increase advertising revenue. However, they have a dark side: prolonged exposure to Blipverts can cause viewers to become mesmerized, leading to a condition known as "Blipvert Overload." Blipvert Overload This condition causes viewers to become catatonic, leading to a range of health problems and even death. The main character, Edison Carter (aka Max Headroom), discovers the truth about Blipverts and the network's intentions, leading to a rebellion against the corrupt television executives. Blipverts serve as a commentary on the dangers of excessive consumerism, the power of media manipulation, and the potential risks of emerging technologies. They remain an iconic and thought-provoking element of the "Max Headroom" universe. Me: basically TikTok. 😋

Morgan Sheppard. Two days later, Max began appearing regularly as the veejay of The Max Headroom Show."

Ideally, we would get the original actor do the voice. He was perfect, and so funny, and IRREPLACEABLE. Even if somebody bothered to improve the CGI and sound FX, it would NOT be as good as the original, UNLESS they can get that actor back to do the voice!
