I’m sure most people know what I’m talking about, but…

[spoiler][Blowjob - Priceless Mastercard Parody - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_2lM55MYa4%5B/spoiler%5D) (NSFW obviously)

This parody of Mastercard’s favorite “priceless” campaign has been out there forever as a viral video, but who made it and why? Was it some comedy sketch show or some amateurs with decent equipment having fun?

The credits are right there in the film. Putting the director into Google gives this.

Did you even watch until the end of the video? There are credits:

> 
> Cast  
> Matt Prater  
> Joy Christie Di Cresce

…Crap, I’ve been ninja’d. Shouldn’t have taken the time to transcribe the credits.

Possibly also of interest - this 1980 Brit American Express parody from the TV series “Not the Nine O’clock News”.

BTW that’s Pamela Stephenson, Billy Connolly’s wife, on the hire car desk.

[Moderating]

As a reminder, NSFW links must comply with our two-click rule: It must take two clicks, not just one, to get to any NSFW content. The easiest way to do this is to put the link in a spoiler tag, as I have done (the NSFW warning should be outside of the tag).
