MasterCard Unveils Ad During the Super Bowl Featuring Actor Richard Dean Anderson

Latest ?Priceless? Spot Features ?MacGyver,? Highlights Debit MasterCard

Purchase, NY, January 30, 2006 - MasterCard International today unveiled plans to air its latest ?Priceless? television execution during the broadcast of Super Bowl XL on February 5, on ABC Sports. The 30-second spot features actor Richard Dean Anderson, who starred as the lead character in the popular 1980s series ?MacGyver,? and focuses on the benefits of Debit MasterCard®. It will air during the game's fourth quarter.

Entitled ?MacGyver,? the ad finds Anderson's character in typical fashion: held hostage in a remote warehouse with time running out on a self-destructing bomb. Cleverly, MacGyver uses the purchases he had made with his Debit MasterCard card ? everyday items at a convenience store ? to free himself and escape to safety.

?While I've had offers to bring the MacGyver character back to life, MasterCard had the sense of humor I felt was needed to bring the character back,? said Anderson. ?The commercial really speaks to how oftentimes everyday items are truly 'priceless' and can serve as life savers.?

Forget RDA as MacGyver, I want to see an ad with RDA as O'Neill.

The commercial was pretty good.

I saw an SG-1 where O'Neill jimmy rigged something and a female charecter said something along the lines of "That's some McGyver job."
or something.

I laughed.

It took us 15 years and 3 super computers to MacGyver a system for the gate on Earth.

:laugh:

I'd be more excited to see RDA on The Simpsons....might make it work watching. I'm sure he'd jump at the oppourtunity to do it too.

Either that or get conan to write for them again, that show needs help.

Good ad... but damn RDA looks old, at least compared to the MacGyver episodes. They better hurry and make a MacGyver movie

Ya, it's only fair he gets in to an episode of The Simpsons after Dan Castellaneta got on SG-1.

If they can do another Indiana Jones with Harrison Ford being "old", RDA can certainly do just as well...Harrison Ford is 8 years older btw.

 

[loup garou]

There's going to be a great one by the beer industry with Spike Lee saluting Jackie Robinson, one of my clients is involved in it and I watched it last week, great commercial.

 

[sygyzy]

I still ReplayTV McGuyver. He's great!
