I watched my copy of In & Out yesterday and when Kevin Kline shows up at his bachelor party, his friends pull out Funny Girl on Laserdisc for them all to watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p51RZG6xF98&t=12m30sAttachment:

You know, it's funny. LaserDisc I thought, had only rarely ever appeared in ads, TV and movies but you guys have listed a considerably amount. However, to this date I havn't seen a CED disc cameo in any movie I've watched. I'm afraid LaserDisc takes the limelight when it comes to VideoDisc apperances in movies. Have any of you seen any appearances of CED in movies and TV?

Have any of you seen any appearances of CED in movies and TV? I can't recall any. In fact the first time I ever came across a CED physically was at a trading post, when my brother and friend said that this place had a lot of movies on disc, but weren't sure if they were Laserdiscs. Before that, I had only seen 1 or 2 CED commercials back in the 80s (I knew they were CED commercials, because I recall a child shoving an entire caddy of some Disney title into a player-- I thought that was odd.)

As always, a very nice touch They did a similar gag on screen in an episode. I think Homer and Bart are walking through a unk yard, in the background you see spaces for dumping video formats; video, laserdisc...and an empty space for DVD saying "coming soon." It was something along those lines anyway.

In the St. Patrick's Day episode of 30 Rock from this past season, Dennis, Liz's ex-boyfriend who was a pager/beeper salesman all the way into the late 2000s reveals that his new business venture is to record people's DVDs on Laserdisc. Haha. He also has a brilliant plan to have a service like Netflix, only you go there in person and choose from a limited selection.

He puts a CD into a Sony Laserdisc player and then looks at the info on his PC. I'll try to find where it is to get a shot. The shot is at 50:10. The player is a Philips VP415 LaserVision ROM drive. It's humorous that he carefully loads the disc upside down.
