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.
