....that have copiers in a shot or two, has that become one of the first things you've noticed and you're just fixated on that? I remember an ESPN Monday Night Football commercial that had a copier in it and the first thing that I noticed was it was the inside of a Panasonic. Also, trying to guess the copier that Lebron James fixes in one of his Sportscenter commercials. It also makes me laugh when a sitcom has an old analog with a 10 bin sorter on it.
Anyone else guilty of this?
Absolutely! Guilty as charged!
BTW... I think LeBron is feebly attempting to unjam a Canon machine.

Whew! I was hoping I wasn't the only one out there like this!
I thought it was a Canon, but since I haven't been in front of a whole lot of Canons I wasn't sure.
Yep I'm guilty of trying to guess the mfgr and model also.
yes I have done that also, most anything I watch on TV or movies, if I see one in it, I try to ID it as well.
There was a pizza comerical, Dominoes, I seem to recall, that had one being used by some character in it, copying pizza's, funny thing it looked to be a old Sharp SD model, 2060 or 2260, and it was color copies comming out
Guilty, guilty, guilty.
There was an episode of Top Gaear where Mr. Clarkson drives an old Peel P50 through the BBC offices. He nearly hits a Russian-C4 and I shouted (quite loud) "that's one of ours! I wonder if they got charged?" at my wife, who looked at me as if I'd just had a brain haemmorage. She hates it when do that!
It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.
Old School has a Minolta copier in it, looked like a old 35/45 analog (pitney bowes cloned it and called it a C350). Kind of bad when you see it and think you might have worked on one of those. People tend to make fun of you to...
Now that i think about it we had some people making a movie take a old dead copier for one of the sets from our grave yard.
Evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
Its all shits and giggles until some body giggles and shits...
Guilty!
Been doing it for years.
Yeah, it is funny. Another thing I think is funny is when a show mentions something referring to a copier. Two that stick in my mind are:
1) In the now cancelled NBC show Las Vegas, Danny was asked what he was now doing and he replied, "I sell copiers."
2) In an episode of Friends, Joey got a spot in a porno as a copier tech and told the people, "Be careful or you'll break the paper tray." He said they kept going and he, "just watched them have sex." He then proceeded to say, "There I am, there I am, there I am, there I am."
I know it's stupid, but I think it's funny because the copier industry is rarely mentioned anywhere in sitcoms. As stated, though, there is usually an old-school analog machine somewhere in the shot.

Yeah I'll have to own up to that, especially when I see an old Canon GP machine, but why do they open up the paper feed path covers to 'make it look better'?
