I know there was a topic like this on SEGA Nerds, but I feel like bringing it back since I just saw something SEGA-related grace my TV screen. :P
I was just watching "Kitchen Nightmares" tonight, and during the commercial break there was a Hyundai commercial showing some kid playing Crazy Taxi! And it was featured pretty heavily too, which is why it's so surprising! (completely zoomed in on the game!)
Anyway, list other recent SEGA cameos you've seen in TV shows/movies/commercials here.
-
We should dig up all the old stuff we had and make a mega list again. Fuck, I forgot about it.
-
I saw SEGA on a banana once. Was kind of gay imho.
-
Here are ones I remember from the old thread (from the top of my head):
Film:
Punch Drunk Love - Barry Egan has a Dreamcast in his apartment
Terminator 2 - After Burner II unit appears in the arcade scene
Black Mask - The games Tracy plays on the Sega Saturn while locked inside Black Mask's apartment are "Virtua Fighter 2" and "X-men: Children of the Atom."
Rumble in the Bronx - Jackie Chan gives wheelchair kid a Game Gear (without a cartridge and yet it plays games! Jackie modded it!)
Jurassic Park: The Lost World - Jeff Goldblum's daughter plays a Game Gear (they call it a Sega)
Surf Ninjas - One of the lead characters is shown playing the Surf Ninjas video game on a Sega Game Gear
Josie and the Pussycats - Sega and Space Channel 5 adverts are all over the place, this was due to Archie Comics connection with Sega and their Sonic series
Suburban Commando - After Burner is incorrectly misrepreseted as some sort of game with kings or wizards or aliens or some shit. Check the Nostalgia Critic's rant in his video review

The Drew Carey Show - Drew has a Sega Saturn on top his TV for much of the series

Just got back from seeing Iron Man 2 for the second time.
Near the beginning there's a monitor in the background that has the SEGA logo on the bottom along with a couple other companies like Kodak.
-
Guess Sega Studios San Francisco's work was good for something.
-
I shall have to do some organizing ... >.>.

A programmer from Sega was on Total Wipeout (BBC one) this Saturday. At one point Richard Hammond commentated "As this guy's company once said 'to be this good take ages'." :P

I've been wanting to make a video feature collecting all the Sega media references into one YouTube vid.

I watched it on iplayer just as I posted that, it's still up on there if you wanna catch it. I think I misheard at the beginning though: the guy was a Sega marketing man rather than a programmer. He did mange to make it to the final though, so he'll be in this Saturdays episode too (the final...final).
-
awesome!
-
Here is that commercial I mentioned in the first post:
[youtube:3agygrpf]5pdmBBFXksk[/youtube:3agygrpf]
Really recent commercial too. Which is why it's so surprising.
-
Yeesh! He sucks at Crazy Taxi!
WHat was that car commercial in which the car changes into other cars includign a pixelated OutRun Ferrari?
-
Wait... you yanks pronounce 'Hyundai' as 'Hunday'... What the fuck is this shit.
-
Yes. The way it is pronounced.
Stop adding U's to it.
-

The kid was playing it in the most reckless-looking way possible because the commercial is about worrying about young drivers on the streets, obviously.
-
Yes. The way it is pronounced.

But there is a U in the word?
It is pronounced,
'Hy-un-dai' exactly how it is spelt!
-
Dont argue with the USA
-
Sharky stands correct. Don't argue with Sharky.
-
I pronounce it "Hey-win-die"
On-topic:
The anime, Gintama is full of SEGA references, at one point, they talked about the Genesis and how it's rare to find people in Japan with the Genesis compared to the SuperFamicom, they also talked about Altered Beast.
There was another episode where they made fun of Console wars and mentioned Shenmue and how much its fans been waiting.
-
Seriously need to archive this stuff in a neat list. When I have free time I will make a cute list that will make all of you jealous...
Hopefully not too much
-
Make me jealous George!

I was watching a Bollywood film this evening, "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge," and in one of the first scenes, a teenage daughter is talking with her mother. There's a box of Sonic the Cereal in the foreground on the table. The film is available for instant streaming on Netflix.

I got two I haven't seen on here yet.
CSI-Season 1- Episode 1: Nick Stokes and Warrick Brown talk about the Sega Dreamcast and playing some sports games on it.
Happy-Go-Lucky(film): Suzy asks Jamie what games he has for his PS3 and he responds "We got Sonic the Hedgehog, Splinter Cell..."

Seriously? 2 years and no-ones got any new ones?
Well this isn't really a new one, since this movie came out 10 years ago, but i only saw it yesterday, so its new to me. It's the swedish movie Lilja 4-ever, and it has a scene set in an arcade. The characters are shown playing Sega Touring Car Championship, and if you look in the background there's a Manx TT Superbike machine. Can't embed the video, so here's a link to a clip of it.
