DVICE TV: Watch the Cylon Toaster make 3 kinds of frakkin' awesome toast

Everyone knows that Cylons are great at killing humans, but can they make toast? We fired up this Cylon toaster to see exactly what kind of damage it could do to some bread. I mean, we know it burns a Cylon face into your toast, but would it be gentle and warm like Athena, or would it unleash some furious heat like Number Six? Watch and learn — plus discover its secret ability as a projectile weapon. Maybe that was the "plan" all along.

The SCI FI Channel (our parent, in case you missed the logo in the top corner) made a limited run of Cylon toasters for this year's San Diego Comic-Con to promote (what else?) Battlestar Galactica. They were only on sale for a short time, but you can still probably grab one off eBay, if you're willing to pay way more for a toaster than you really should.

I bet they could make some serious scratch off Ebay if they altered it to burn images of Jesus on the toast.

By Anomalie at 2:08 PM ON 08/18/08

I want one!!!!!
Is that wrong????

I can hear my kids now--there goes Mom again!

By bscotthay at 9:40 AM ON 08/21/08

BAH, I want one with the Star Trek logo.Imagine the possiblities: the Nike swoosh, :) ,NFL,NBA, A heart for valentines day etc..

By ELBSeattle at 1:08 PM ON 08/21/08

Poor Star Trek fans... not only does Battlestar Galactica blow Star Trek out of 9 kinds of water, they probably don't even understand why a 'toaster' with the BSG insignia is so funny.

By CDragon27 at 1:31 PM ON 08/21/08

how long before the toaster initiates a hostile takeover of the other kitchen appliances? though I admit I would love to have one that burned a classic trek enterprise on the toast. you could do battle with the romulan toasters.

I can see a fan film now..........
using these in place of the centurions.....
.
.....yea

Saw this on G4 when they did the big Comic-Con thing. A "toaster's" face on a piece of toast made by a real toaster, frakkin' cool. Kirk would still get all the hot skin job women!!!

Here's a serious question. I bought this item through eBay and I'm waiting for it to arrive any day now.

Can your lab suggest what kind of a step-down converter one should buy so I can plug this baby into a European electricity.

I remember my friend once bought a singing Hello Kitty toaster from the US a while ago. Well, needless to say, the toaster itself was soon toast.

By bbray51 at 8:51 PM ON 08/22/08

Great site. I really enjoyed the videos

By BigDadd at 11:23 AM ON 08/23/08

WTF? Another video with no Vanessa. What happened, did someone frak up and fire her?

By brachiator at 4:28 PM ON 08/24/08

I truly LOLd out loud. ;-) Brilliant use of the theme music. Now, can I please get a travel coffee cup engraved with Katee Sackhoff's mug?

By Laser Potato at 12:39 PM ON 08/25/08

You know what they say...all toasters toast toast.

By LOLEK at 4:21 AM ON 08/31/08

LOL be nice to toasters or we will end up dead when toasters will take over the world xD

By Mikey M at 7:55 PM ON 09/02/08

Too expensive.

By Willybubba at 12:59 AM ON 09/06/08

That was so frak'n funny, I almost peed my pants. The theme music, the graphics on the toaster....classic. Im just waiting for the number six butter knife, and a gun shaped coffee cup. The perfect breakfast for viper pilot (wanna be) lol

By BVin at 4:14 PM ON 09/06/08

I want one of these! Hey, Christmas is almost upon us!

By $tarbuck at 12:21 AM ON 09/12/08

My toaster has always done okay by me. But....I keep it on the counter by day and don't let it out tell after dark.

By coonass at 8:54 AM ON 09/25/08

I barely use the toaster I have now; my bonne femme just went on a celiac diet, so bagels and bread with wh**t in it are verboten. That leaves gluten-free bread... which comes in tiny little loaves that cost $5/apiece. Conspicuous consumption of baked goods is OVER, at least in our hacienda. Until the genetic engineers deliver on their promise of wh**t that doesn't make you sick, we're sticking with Old Faithful.

Besides, anyone who REALLY wants a Cylon lurking around their kitchen after dark has rocks in his/her head.

By hmarinesgt at 4:37 PM ON 10/13/08

W.T.F. is that real or not I may sound like an idiot but How the F#@k do they do that if it is real.

By Felgerbator at 8:21 PM ON 10/15/08

Oh, I'm sure it looks amusing and appetizing.....
WAKE UP!!! NO WAY NO HOW CAN YOU EVER TRUST A FRAKKIN TOASTER!!! A TOASTER WILL ALWAYS BETRAY YOU. REMEMBER THE COLONIES!!!!

By skye at 6:47 PM ON 10/17/08

for $340 i'll have a "skinjob" "make me toast" for an hour thankyouverymuch.

By wtf at 5:23 PM ON 10/18/08

I'd be more impressed if it toasted everything except the face.
Who wants bread with a face toasted in it?

By davidvogler at 7:58 PM ON 01/18/09

They still have them for sale at the NBC store at 30 Rock in New York. As of 1/16 I saw at least five still on the shelf.

By aristaeus at 3:36 AM ON 02/10/09

I have the EXACT same toaster at home, but minus the Cylon head marking and Battlestar logo.

Its a good cylon, I mean toaster.

By martinex at 2:41 AM ON 02/24/09

I couldn't afford the toaster so I've taken to drawing the insignia on bread with indelible ink.....I don't feel so good.

By fongsaunder at 12:45 AM ON 03/26/09

LOL!
If only there was a slot in front for the cylon eye.......
