Max Headroom is a fictional character created by George Stone, Annabel Jankel, and Rocky Morton in the 1980s. He was described by his creators as an artificial intelligence and was played by a real person in a lot of makeup to make him look computer-generated. Maxs personality was meant to be a satirical exaggeration of the worst tendencies of television hosts in the 1980s who wanted to be the center of attention. His chaotic speech patterns are based upon his voice pitching up or down seemingly at random, or occasionally becoming stuck in a stuttering loop.
Max Headroom was initially a subversive cyberpunk movie character, but by 1987, he had become a television pitchman, selling Coca-Cola. The character was also featured in music videos and had his own TV show in the US.
The Max Headroom character was generated by an Amiga computer, and his rotating background was a piece of CGI footage that had been generated for one of Morton and Jankels ad agencys commercials.
