Thanks, Dave K
Sounds like "Alien from L.A."--episode 516.
Sampo
I hate to disagree with the great Sampo, but I think he's thinking of Space >> Mutiny ep 820
Yes, this ought to be in a FAQ (is it? :-)). Commander Jansen's second-in-command, Scott Devers (played by Graham Clark), looked a lot
like "Jacko", whose Energizer battery commercials were punctuated by him saying "Oi!". See <http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0413823/bio>.
Weirdly enough, this riff survived on long enough to make it into the
Rifftrax for "Rock 'n Roll Nightmare," in reference to another faux
Australian.
I am astonished, though not terribly, to find that the answer to just
what "battery commercial" the guys were referencing showed up here
about 10 years ago.
