- DrumDog2112, on 11/14/2008, -10/+126That's cool and all, but what would MacGruber do?
- oo7evan, on 11/14/2008, -0/+112Somebody throw the economy at him and a few paperclips and duct tape.
- inactive, on 11/14/2008, -0/+84While being pursued by a Soviet truck, he crushes it by making a large rock fall on it. To do this, MacGyver pours water on a crack on the rock, puts a wedge in it, and sprays the entire thing with a fire extinguisher. The compressed carbon dioxide cools the water enough to freeze it, causing it to expand. This almost entirely breaks the rock away from the mountain, and when the Soviets come by, Mac simply pushes the wedge to have it crush their car. ------> wooooooow
- t2t2, on 11/14/2008, -0/+77Misses "MacGyver uses the trigger mechanism of a gun to ignite a small explosive charge, propelling a metal slug into a guard's head."
- CarStan, on 11/14/2008, -3/+58i just need a gun witout ammo, a paperclip, and some ammo...
- jeevesatvic, on 11/14/2008, -3/+52You can ask "WWJD?", but "WWMD?" will generally result in more awesomeness.
- CrazyDEX, on 11/14/2008, -0/+44Dugg for frequent and effective use of Duct Tape
- dreicher, on 11/14/2008, -2/+46I'm all for controlling the duplicates, but really? You're crying foul on a story that was posted 1100+ days ago, got 37 Diggs and didn't hit the front page?
So you know, it was also submitted:
66 days ago
104 days ago

Oh, and Mr. Rose, when Digg appends a _9 to the end of your submission... - jhartvu, on 11/14/2008, -0/+38A little from Column A, a little from Column B.
- JEWestbrookJR, on 11/14/2008, -0/+38MacGruber, he's gotten divorced and he's filed for bankruptcy
MacGruber, unprotected s*x with hookers is a nightly occurrence
MacGruber, he's a raging alcoholic
MACGRUBER! - albiniak, on 11/14/2008, -0/+35amazing.
- inactive, on 11/14/2008, -0/+33McGyver was able to run Crysis on Ultra High settings with a pencil sharpener and two paperclips.
- limmense, on 11/14/2008, -1/+31These guys don't know MacGruber...he would die in a fiery explosion.
- NotDennis, on 11/14/2008, -1/+28I'd hate to fight this guy in an Office Depot.
- Totz83, on 11/14/2008, -1/+27What weapons of mass destruction?
- rald84, on 11/14/2008, -1/+26remember how bush admin officials said they modeled their interrogation and intelligence tactics after jack bauer of 24? imagine if they modeled them after macgyver. we'd have captured bin laden with only a rubber band and some toothpicks.
- Kakumeikeahi, on 11/14/2008, -1/+26The internet is a teeming living world filled with people with way too much time on their hands.
And when they get together for a single productive purpose, you'd be surprised what can happen.
Wiki for example. - inactive, on 11/14/2008, -0/+24One of my favorites:
The Gauntlet (1x04)
He uses a map to help pick a lock, as a peashooter, a club, a sled, and finally to repair a hot air balloon.

- cornerback42, on 11/14/2008, -0/+22I just did that this past Saturday on my buddy's U-Haul, he said it couldn't be done.

- SkippyDoorknob, on 11/14/2008, -1/+18unprotected sax? six? sox?
I just can't figure this one out... - riskybeats, on 11/14/2008, -1/+18My physics teacher Jim Wiese was actually the science consultant for MacGyver. Thus, I was actually trained in physics and calculus by MacGyver. I think I am going to go work on my thumb tac elastic band deathray.
- DiggzDE, on 11/14/2008, -0/+17He will shoot a ball out of his ass for money.

2 years 278 days old - Kakumeikeahi, on 11/14/2008, -0/+17Ask for money.
- ryananger, on 11/14/2008, -0/+16It's obviously sux. That could be the only possible word he felt necessary to censor. I'm glad he did. The horror of such a word is inexplicably maddening.
- petebot, on 11/14/2008, -2/+18
MacGruber is the most consistently funny part of SNL. That and Andy Samberg. - Rothbardosaurus, on 11/14/2008, -1/+16Now this, THIS is what Wikipedia is for.
- WELLDOITLIVE, on 11/14/2008, -0/+15To be fair, it was an electric pencil sharpener.
- Rothbardosaurus, on 11/14/2008, -0/+14Since this is a MacGyver thread, you could hard boil some eggs in an exhaust pipe.
- JEWestbrookJR, on 11/14/2008, -0/+14yeah... appologies for censorship. i copy / pasted from elsewhere and noticed the censorship after. FAIL on me.
- DarkShroud, on 11/14/2008, -0/+13Which he could build with some duct tape, paper clips, and a flash light.
- scotty523, on 11/14/2008, -1/+13water expands under 4 degrees C. Please take high school science.
- jlebrech, on 11/14/2008, -0/+12I want a MacGyver Movie with RDA. Maybe they could use the money saved from hiring some ill fitting A list Actor to fit RDA role and spend it on good writers.
I'd like a plot similar to PayCheck, where he'd pick up random stuff like an adventure game and puts them in his infinite pockets.
Then the movie would come to a climax where he assembles it all into a helicopter or something. - boardthis, on 11/14/2008, -0/+12i finally found something google maps CAN'T do...
[edit] The Gauntlet (1x04)
MacGyver is in a room trying to get out, but sees the key in the other side of the locked door. He takes out a map, unfurls it and sticks it under the door. He then pushes the key out of the lock using his Swiss Army knife, and the key lands on the map. He then drags the map back under the door, thereby getting the key to unlock him from the room.
In order to disguise himself, MacGyver rolls up the same map and uses it as a peashooter to distract a woman who was washing some clothes.
To get away from a guard with a gun aimed at him, he wraps the same map around an iron bar to disguise the bar from the guard. He first bats away the gun and then slugs the guard in the chest with it.
MacGyver uses the same map again as a makeshift sled to slide down sand dunes to get away from the guards chasing him.
While escaping the guards, one of them shoots a bullet through the side of the balloon he is escaping in. He uses the same map and some duct tape to patch a hole over the balloon fabric and escape. - sfrench, on 11/14/2008, -0/+12I think your username says it all... you need to go to Meat Mountain.
- BrandonJM, on 11/14/2008, -4/+16The article is up for deletion. Typical Wikipedia, some marketing hack can sneak a page about themselves on there, but a cultural icon like MacGyver gets considered for deletion? WTF
- RobotKeaton, on 11/14/2008, -0/+11Make yourself a roast out of a rubberband, a pocket mirror, and a pen.
- drvfstnwild, on 11/14/2008, -0/+11Notice that they keep getting shorter as the episodes goes on. And then they just give up at the end of the 5th season. What a shame. But nonetheless good...
- stufflebean, on 11/14/2008, -0/+10Generally true, but there's a reason ice floats in water. Think about it...
- Takfam, on 11/14/2008, -0/+10Well, my productivity is officially in the ***** today. Sorry boss, gotta read how MacGyver saved the world with chewing gum and a ball-point pen.
- lead2thehead, on 11/14/2008, -0/+10What about that time he rescued SG1 from the goauld?
- Easyoffbam, on 11/14/2008, -0/+10He will call them iPaperclip and iDucttape, polish them and sell them for ten times their value. Millions of apple fanboys will spend ungodly amounts of their cash on them, which will increase consumer spending. Aggregate demand will increase, increasing output and growth. PROBLEM SOLVED!
