Rubik's Cube sightings in media

[MrData]

In the movie Knowing, the main kid is seen with a sudoku cube while in the car.

In the Swedish film Låt den rätte komma in.
Not sure if this has been said before but the main kid has one gives it to vampire and she solves it. I disliked the film very much.

South Park
King of the Hill
Seinfeld
The 11 o'clock news(Showing me )


A bunch more. I mean, it's one of the most recognized "Toys" in the world.

This isn't really "the media", but Ulead's video editing programs demonstrate their filters like this:

I don't like. the blend tech one. If you don't respect the cube, it will haunt you.

I'm pretty sure I saw a Family guy or a Simpsons episode where the main fat guy (hehe) was just solving cubes mindlessly because he had nothing better to do...

Now if only I was actually even half-awake today, I could search it up on YouTube.

 

[miniGOINGS]

what method was he using? it looks like the cube was almost solved from the beginning..

Recent? No. But definitely interesting. I had never seen this particular segment until a few days ago.

Skip to around 4:50-

Someone needs to to teach him classic pochmann or 3OP or something, and he can have the UWR for blindfold solve inside stomach, with likely no challengers ever.

It was The Simpsons, he had a crayon stuck in his brain and he had it removed and he became smart and he just solved like 100 cubes. Apparently you have to be smart to solve a cube.

No you don't, each and every one of us on this forum is a living example of my point.

on the series Malcolm in the Middle (a very old episode) the father (I'm bad with names) tried to get a new job, and part of the application was solving rubik's cube upside down with fire crackers being thrown at him

LOL, I remember that... The father's name was Hal, and I think he was trying to work for some strange company...
I would be able to do that

No, I figured it out on my own... took me WAY too long though... Then I decided that it was just easier to learn O/PLL and stuff...

Bump.

Lol. Rubik's cube is last on the list. I found this kind of funny. Giving your cube to a bunch of little kids is a sure way to entertain them for a while, or get your cube destroyed.

He wasn't even trying. If he were, The F2l would've been at least solved.
I hate people who make fun of the cube like that..... grr....

On the kids week of Jeopardy there was kid who could solve it in 3 minutes. When asked about it he said "It's hard because you have to memorize a lot of algorithms.":fp
