Is it just me, or is it somewhat ironic that Robocop starred in so many commercials?

If you're anything like me, then Paul Verhoven's 1987 classic Robocop is embarrassingly high on a hypothetical "Best Movies Ever!" list. Say, top 25 or so. Maybe 26, depending on the last time you saw Total Recall.

If you've seen Robocop, you're probably keenly aware of Verhoven's scorn towards the world of consumerism. I mean, it's probably more apparent in the much maligned sequel (Robocop 2, which was cleverly named for the movie's antagonist), but those news broadcasts? The fake commercials? The fact that Detroit is owned by a slightly evil company that plans on leveling the place and putting up a luxury high rise? The "I'd buy that for a dollar!" guy? For a movie about a massive, robotic cop who prowls the mean streets of Detroit, there's an awful lot of jabs at society's greed.

With that in mind, can somebody explain any of the following YouTube videos?















I really want those Robochopsticks.
