Trotting out stars from the '80s: Priceless

While I think it's time to retire the "priceles" MasterCard ads (won’t it be cool someday when we’ve all forgotten the hackneyed concept, and out of nowhere, someone will bust out a random "priceless" reference, and it’ll be totally retro and hilarious?), I got a kick out of the "MacGyver" ad. Turkey basters are funny.

Seeing Richard Dean Anderson with nasal spray and a tube sock in the convenience store checkout line was truly inspired.

But wouldn’t you have assumed that MacGyver pays cash?

I agree that it's time to retire the "priceless" MasterCard ads. However, seeing Richard Dean Anderson as McGyver was FANTASTIC!!!

I wouldn't have assumed that McGyver pays cash since he was usually involved in something in a foreign country.

Playerism -- may I call you Playerism for short? -- I sit corrected. Not to keep objectifying men, but I thought Anderson looked great. And wasn't Teri Hatcher on "MacGyver," too? It's the show that wouldn't die.

LMAO Yes, you may call me Playerism for short.

Since I'm a woman too I see nothing wrong with objectifying men and you're right. Anderson looks great! I had totally forgotten that Teri Hatcher was on the show.

I bow down to your superior knowledge of all things McGyver.
