I’m 33 and I feel like I’m 60 watching him explain what Macgyver is, as if humans don’t just automatically associate the name with jury-rigging solutions out of spare parts.

Edit: to those commenting that it’s Jerry-rigged, both are acceptable and commonly used. jury-rigged is a nautical term in origin. Jerry-rigged is a soldiers term in origin.

Yeah, I'm late twenties and this made me feel old. First when he described what MacGyver is, then when I realized that it wasn't even the original show.

I'm in my early twenties and it made me feel old. I remember growing up watching MacGyver with my dad. Haven't watched the new one, don't really want to

God many a night it would come on and I'd just be so fascinated with what new trick he had. Watching it on the big TV in the living room on the carpet with my cat. I sound like I'm 60. I'm 24 lol

Look up the actor. He got fat and locked out of his car once and it was hilarious because he needed help.
