A staple of 80's culture, Max Headroom has oft been referenced and parodied in many works. Max Headroom is a snarky, faux-CGI television host with a glitchy speech pattern. While not as culturally significant today, he still exists in public consciousness and continues to be referenced. | |

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: While in the 1980s, LMD Coulson has his body destroyed, and his consiousness is uploaded in a television. The background of the screen is a near copy of Max Headroom's, Coulson wears a suit, and he speaks glitchily. Coulson even directly compares his situation to Max Headroom. | |

The Game (1997): A camera is planted in Nicholas's mansion via a wooden clown (don't ask), and interferes with the newscast on his television, taking over the form of Real Life journalist Daniel Schorr. He toys with Nicholas with an odd, filtered voice and glitching effects before informing him that his Game has begun. | |

In the Farscape episode "John Quixote", a visit to a buggy virtual reality game results in John and Chiana encountering a version of John incarnated as one of the game's villains. He appears only on a TV screen, he's always wearing a suit, always standing against a dark background studded with neon blue tubes, and sports a noticeable Headroom-esque stutter and a warped sense of humour. In the climax of the episode, the real John is finally able to shut him up by putting a sword through his monitor. | |

Fitting it's 80's asethetic, Wasteland 3 has the God-President Reagan AI which is a direct copy of Max Headroom. And is glitching out for the same reasons Max did in the pilot: lack of memory storage and processing power. | |

Square One TV: One of the recurring bits played between sketches was of a nameless character talking of about a random math related subject that was a clear expy of Max Headroom: he was depicted as faux-CGI, shown from the waist up in front of a dark patterned background, wore a suit and shades, and would randomly glitch causing himself and what he was currently saying to rapidly twitch and stammer. | |

Back to the Future Part II: When Marty visits the Cafe 80s, his server is a roaming TV monitor with an avatar of Ronald Reagan, glitching and speaking in warped tones like Max Headroom. He's joined (and naturally argues with) an avatar of the Ayatollah Khomeni. Another television shows an avatar of Michael Jackson. | |
