A new commercial has been created by Ryactive, bringing together Tron Guy, (Jay Maynard) and Duct Tape to create “Duck Tron”. Watch the video after the jump complete with a showdown when Tron Guy’s wife crashes the party.
The Making of Duck Tron
The commercial is a humorous and creative blend of pop culture and practical utility, showcasing the versatility of duct tape in a fun and engaging way. Jay Maynard, famously known as Tron Guy, dons his iconic suit made entirely of duct tape, embodying the spirit of the Tron universe. The commercial not only highlights the durability and strength of duct tape but also its potential for creative expression. The showdown scene, where Tron Guy’s wife makes an unexpected entrance, adds a layer of comedy and relatability, making the ad memorable and entertaining.
When he’s not playing Tron Guy, Jay Maynard is a computer programmer and system administrator. He is also the volunteer project maintainer for Hercules, an emulator of IBM mainframe hardware. This dual life of Jay Maynard adds an interesting dimension to his persona, blending the world of high-tech computing with the whimsical world of cosplay.
Tron Guy’s Legacy
Jay Maynard’s journey as Tron Guy began as a simple homage to the original Tron movie, but it quickly turned into an internet sensation. His dedication to creating an accurate and visually striking Tron suit earned him a place in the hearts of fans worldwide. However, his passion for Tron faced a setback when the sequel movie Tron: Legacy was released. Despite his enthusiasm, he was not allowed to view the film in his iconic Tron suit at his local movie theatre. The illuminating lights on his suit were deemed a potential distraction to other moviegoers, highlighting the challenges that come with being a dedicated cosplayer.
The commercial by Ryactive is a testament to Jay Maynard’s enduring popularity and the cultural impact of the Tron franchise. It also underscores the creative potential of everyday items like duct tape, transforming them into symbols of innovation and fun.
The video itself is a delightful watch, blending humor with a touch of nostalgia. It serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of the Tron franchise and the creative ways in which fans continue to celebrate it. Whether you’re a fan of Tron, a duct tape enthusiast, or simply someone who enjoys a good laugh, the Duck Tron commercial is sure to entertain.
