Max Headroom

Appeared first in 1985, last seen in 1988.

A pseudo computer generated parody of the embodiment of 1980s late night talk show hosts, and metaphor of a talking head.

Plastic-like appearance and usually stands in front of a backdrop of moving horizontal lines.

Was essentially the original troll, had a stuttering speech pattern and shilled for ‘New Coke’.

Person 1: I saw that one plastic looking guy on TV again.

Person 2: Oh that talking head? I love M-m-m-m-Max Headroom!
