Ah, yes. The Rollo-ninjas were my favorite part of Blade Runner.
Nice ad, but shouldn’t these people be better served by slammin’ a Dew?
My brain immediately gave me, unbidden, Roller Runner (or is that Blade Derby?)
Let’s settle for Roller Blade Runner
We may have done that one.
Corporate-sponsored cyberpunks with professional-grade body armor. The best kind of cyberpunks.
Can’t have been Pepsi if they were stealing Cokes.
I’m pretty sure this is his tribute to that slightly more obscure classic, Prayer of the Roller Boys.
I forgot how weird 90s commercials were.
In 1989 this one ambushed normal programming in the UK.
Or maybe something that gives you wings. You know, genetic or cybernetic enhancement.
Now that’s a Red Bull commercial.
Why run when you can roll…
…Blade Roller.
SPLODE! Soda:
I’m leaning toward 50% Blade Runner and 50% Solarbabies.
Yeah, that was, admittedly, the more likely candidate, but did not allow the riff/puns on Roller/Runner and Blade.
