I think it was posted on this forum in a different thread, but at one part in the movie Wall-e is holding a rubik's cube. (The logo of the movie on Fandango and similar sites was the image of wall-e and the cube)

It Takes a Thief, TV show on Discovery Channel.

Some family gets robbed of a bunch of antiques (none of them were specified)
...except the 1980's rubik's cube (scrambled state :p)

He looked pleased to get it back.

In the TV series, Big Bang Theory (which, IMO, is one of the funniest shows) there are always 3 cubes kept on a chest of drawers in the background of their living room... One cube is always solved and the other 2 are scrambled... In some of their episodes, the cube is solved except for an M2...

In case you're wondering, I ALWAYS notice random stuff in the background like this...

Well, I haven't seen it recently but wasn't Tyson on TV for a very short segment to show off the Rubik's 360 for Good Morning America?
Yeah.

My local news finally mentioned it earlier this week. I didn't see it, but my parents told me it was on for like 3 seconds. :p

Yeah I noticed stuff in the background sometimes too, I love when I recognize some of the random things. :)

a teenage guy in my area recently broke the WR for most cubes solved in an hour. i can't find coverage of it online, but it was on a local TV news station. he was only able to do 64. i couldn't believe that so little was the WR, so i did some research and found this site.

so....... are those just unofficial?

i'm confused.

So far in Malaysia, I had only seen one cube solving on the TV. Eventough its just 5-7 minutes, well im very proud of them.

They were on a Talk Show and aired around 10 pm or 11 pm. Im not sure.
The Show.

There's WCA records, which everyone respects, unofficial speedcubing.com, which most people take with a grain of salt, and then there's Guiness records, which are a joke and regulated with standards that make no sense. This guy got the third one.
