Unexpected Rock/Metal Movie & TV Usage

For some reason, our local news this morning kept playing Twisted Sister's version of O Come All Ye Faithful when going to commercial break. The weather guy even plugged the Twisted Christmas album.

Has anyone mentioned that South Park episode where everyone is getting high off of cat spray and their hallucinations are a parody of Heavy Metal complete with the Sammy Hagar song?

You mean "Cheesing"

That episode was called "Major Boobage" and it is a classic

As far as Southpark goes, what about Cartman wanting to drive off all the hippies at Burning Man by playing Slayer?

How about when little Nicky ran the Chicago album backwards in the movie. I did not see that coming.
....

Cadillac used Led Zeppelin for a commercial

...

I seen the movie megamind and they played AC/DC

I caught a commercial over the weekend where a family in a minivan (or maybe suv) start singing 'Crazy Train' accapella. The boys start in with 'Bump bump. Bump-bump, bump-bump, bump-bump. Then the sister come in with the 'eye-eye-eye' and so on. I'm not even sure what the ad was for. Probably a minivan or suv.

Anyone else see that?

Here it is...The Honda Pilot.



Do you hear that high-pitch whirring sound towards the end? That's Randy spinning in his grave.

Yeah, I like that commercial. I like the kid who shakes the ice in his cup to make that "rattlesnake" noise.

I seen a wal-mart commercial using back in black.

How about this PSA?



Bruce Dickinson and the guy who played Garfield, together at last!

Haha, never seen that before!!

I was watching some really bad Marlon Wayans film called Senseless on Hulu, and i saw a poster of Ulver. Unusual band to be promoted in that type of film (then again, the character who owned the apartment also had a Misfits shirt on so he may have been a metal fan).

My wife is watching a special called "Betty White's Off Their Rockers," which is a hidden-camera prank show where seniors pull jokes on young'uns... and Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It" is the show's theme song!

... I always suspected Betty White was a headbanger.

Ted Nugent was on last week's episode of 'The Simpsons'. He was running for president or something. I wasn't really paying attention. I'm not sure why I even watch that show anymore.

There was a nice bit in that show where Ted walked into the Simpsons' kitchen, tossed a dead elk on their table, and said "Dinner!"

...when Marge pointed out that Lisa was a vegetarian, Ted sez "Well, then she can nibble on an antler... antlers ain't meat."

...but yeah, overall that episode was kinda lame....

I remember there was also a poster of Ulver on The Sopranos. Not sure if it was the same one, though.

heard "stranglehold" on a commercial the other day, don't recall for what. The use of "crazy train" in that mini-van comercial is kinda/sorta clever.

Red Lobster is using a re-recorded version of "No One Knows" by Queens Of The Stone Age in their new commercials.

I got the most recent season of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Chickenfoot was mentioned, listened to, and actually in an episode.

Nuclear Assault's "Something Wicked" is played during the end credits of the movie Warlock 2.

I asked about that track in the "Rock Trivia Thread" months ago and nobody got it. Where were you?

Hmmm... what's worse in a Kia commercial - Motley Crue or those annoying rodents in gansta outfits?

I kinda laughed at the collaboration. Motley Crue and Kia? They couldn't get Ford Mustangs or Dodge Chargers?

Saw this too...

"She Sells Sanctuary", the international hit from British rock band THE CULT, and Sunshine State rapper Flo Rida's Top 10 smash "Good Feelin'" will be featured this Sunday as a mashup in one of Budweiser's Super Bowl commercials.

The one-minute spot is a celebratory romp through several decades of great times in America that begins with the end of Prohibition in 1933.

Here's an obscure one. In seattle there was a sketch comedy show called Almost Live (reruns of it were aired on Comedy Central in the mid-90s). Anyway, they had a segment called "The Lame List" which had members of various seattle metal bands (including Kim Thayil!) putting down various "lame" items. Heres a sample:
