Rowe just posted a video of him solving on a TV show called The Chew

A Voz de Portugal (Portugal Singing Talent Show)

Video in portuguese.
Cube and some casual cubing talk is present from 1m22s to ~3 mins into the video.
She basically shows cubing as her hobby, then she performs a song.
This was played on national TV, prime time, a couple months ago.

This might have been posted before, but I stumpled upon it for the first time right now, and I thought it was really weird. Did any of you watch this as kids?

Alex Day is a prominent vlogger in the UK... I wouldn't have bothered if it had been just a 3x3 because everyone has those. but there's a 4x4 too. cubes at 4:45...

Yesterday I saw the unaired pilot of Big Bang Theorie.
In the first seconds Leonard solves a Rubik’s Cube.

The unaired pilot episode? wow, where?

I got in my school's newspaper for just being able to solve one, not even fast lol. I doubt that counts as "true" media though.

That, and the episode, where a hurricane passes by springfield and they're in the basement, find a cube and try to solve it. A pretty old episode, I guess. I don't have a link, because I saw it in tv yesterday, in Germany...

On Double Fine's Kickstarter video (the top one, not update#1) Tim Shaffer has a V5 on his desk, and then sits down on a couch with a cube styled pillow.

The unaired pilot episode? wow, where?

There are lots of version floating around, some almost identic to the aired pilot. I managed to find a clip on YouTube with the first minutes of the unaired cube episode:

I don't get what's so funny though, is it that the cube is almost completely solve and his solving looks really bad?

OnT:
I visited my girlfriend in Pori, Finland this weekend, and we went to the local art museum. They hosted an exhibit called "Street Art". In the exhibit there was several art pieces by french artist Invader, most famous for his Space Invader mosaics. Top left picture here. But he also makes "paintings" made of Rubiks Cubes, dubbed Rubik's Cubism. In this exhibit, two Rubik's art pieces, portraying Al Capone and Freddy Kreuger (below) were present. It was awesome to see something like that irl, in a regular museum.

There was a cube lying on a desk in one of the scenes from The Ides of March, but I couldn't find the screencap. So instead, pictures of Ryan Gosling on set trying to solve one: http://www.annarbornocturne.com/Clo...PDqK/1/1222215504_VLHDV#!i=1212277405&k=tr2wb

Edit: Found it

There was a small feature about the Rubik's Cube in 'The Toys that Made Christmas' ages ago. I'll try and find a video.

EDIT:

Skip to 09:26 for the Rubik's Cube section.

Was watching the IT crowd and at around 4 minutes saw a cube on the desk.

I'm pretty sure there's some sort of cube in about half the episodes of the IT Crowd. There's a small drawing of one on the wall that appears in a bunch of episodes as well IIRC.
