Max Headroom Deep Dive

I put this video in this forum because it turns out that is exactly what Max Headroom was.

A joke, a pun, and perhaps unintentionally, a prank.


This guy did some pretty intensive research and shows that nerd is just another way of saying passionate.
The video is a mix of facts,observations and nostalgia about an iconic moment in television history if you like that sort of thing.

That was a fun "its 3am and I can't sleep" deep dive, thanks for posting! I remember the original Mtv shorts, and actually watched the television series back in the day. It was truly awful, but I still loved it lol

The video creator did a marvelous job. He brought up some apt comparisons and thoughtful revelations that I never could have come up with on my own. And I agree with him- it would be fascinating to see Max return now: original Max, not the watered down version.

Max Headroom should have had a cameo or shoutout in Kung Fury. I feel like Max would be very much at home in Vaporwave.

I loved the max headroom show back in the day, not the tv series, but the one hosted by him, playing music clips and with his strange humor...

I do like how they explained his name in the tv show though..

Ahh back when tv was fun and not woke..

I've watched Kung Fury a couple of times and it is a masterpiece. Max would've slotted in effortlessly.

You're gonna love this then! I wanna see that one.


As for Max, I've only seen a few shorts of his work back then. I didn't even know their was a show at some point... :/
