In a 1991 episode I just saw last week, an environmental activist has called for MacGyver's help. The man is living isolated out in a wasteland (destroyed by industrial pollution) and focused on showing that the big suburban development scheme by a local real estate tycoon will inevitably lead to the same kind of doom, destruction of groundwater deposits, turning the soil into a filthy mess and so on. As the guy is waiting for MacGyver to come around and meet him, following an elaborate plan (cassette tapes with instructions left in standby cars etc), he happens to step into a sinkhole in the useless soil, and when McGyver arrives he is at the point of drowning, MacGyver sees the danger and manages to pull both of them out by an autimatic haul-in steel wire attached to the front of his truck. So, when the guy has narrowly escaped being drowned in the oxic mud and they're both safe again, he comes up with this priceless line: "I knew you would come, MacGyver! I knew it when I was stuck in there...You're always on time!" :D
To all of you who have ever repaired something with Duct tape and a coat hanger, if it worked at least temporarily, the spirit of MacGyver is with you.
That Home Depot is now known Cheyenne Mountain. He built the Stargate and explores other planets under the false name "Jack O'Neill". The more you know..
The original MacGyver, always the best. I love that line from the first episode of season 1 that they always use for the commercials for the show on the H&I cable channel... "Can you make a bomb out of chewing gum and a paper clip?" "Why? You got some?" I saw Richard Dean Anderson on GMA when MacGyver got going good. He said the LA cops liked the show because for a couple of hours every week there was peace on the streets. It turned out the LA gangs LOVED the show, so they'd stop all criminal activity to watch the show and then spend time talking about it. That's also where using the word "MacGyver" became street lingo. It meant doing the impossible thing or getting the impossible girl. It also later came to mean working out the typical MacGyver tricks. In fact, RDA also said that the term just barely missed out on being included in an English dictionary that came out only once every 10 years. I've even seen it used in Marvel comics to refer to ultra-secure prison cells meant to hold scientific geniuses like the Wizard. They were called "MacGyver-proof cells."
@@LOLSKU115 Yes. My mother-in-law was cooking when the pressure cook pot exploded, sending the hot food and the pot lid flying across the kitchen. Luckily I remembered my Yoga lessons and, in a split second, did a Bakasana pose to dodge the murderous contents and instantly get up like a champ. No one was hurt.
One trick I remember is MacGyver blowing up a light bulb with a squeeze water bottle thingy set to stream mode. I was AMAZED as a child and thought he was the coolest ever!
do you know the Outer limits TV series? That was a quite underrated series similar as the X-Files. In the outer limits the intro was quite amazing and they also had good background music like MacGyver.
I bust a tire on my bike. Turns out the vent was leaking. Nothing I tried worked, until I thought… what would MacGyver do? So I checked my pockets for everything I had and found a lollipop. The lollipop was covered in plastic, and I put the plastic on top of the vent and screwed the top on. The plastic from the lollipop successfully trapped the air inside the tire and I could roll home on my bike. Thank you MacGyver.
Cool, it’s young Mundo from American Me. MacGyver (classic ) is and always will be my favorite show. I remember watching Mac in the late 80’s/early 90’s as a kid
I have a SpEd student that loves this guy! I love that he turned the class on to it. Such amazing problem solving and calming of the mind in anxiety situations. THANK YOU MacGyver!!!!❤
In regards to the realism, I can't remember if it was the producers, the directors, or Richard himself who said that they may have skipped a few steps to avoid people recreating the stunts.
1:49 His face says: "Great job! Now you'll use your newly-freed arms to break the binds around your ankles, then we -- hey, what are you doing that for?" 2:05 "Hey, what about MY ankles?!"
Those who became engineers because of MacGyver have misunderstood the series. In one episode, MacGyver meets one of his ex-girlfriends, and they talk about why they couldn't stay together. They say that the reason was their different aspirations in life. The girl wanted to be a physicist, and MacGyver says that he didn't study physics in order to have a 9 to 5 job in an office. So, being an engineer is exactly what MacGyver didn't want to be. He wanted to be an adventurer. I often see comments of people saying "I became an engineer thanks to MacGyver". But apparently they completely missed the point of the series. The series would have boring if MacGyver had been an engineer and not an adventurer. And I say that as someone who wants to become an engineer.
One of my favorite series when i was a kid. Along with the Knight Rider and Street Hawk :D An interesting thing though: Im a nostalgy freak so I sometimes watch these. The point of MacGyver was that he was supposed to be very rightgeous (spelling?), always for justice etc. However, name an 80s series that would be more prejudicial towards russians or east germans? It seems like half of the actors only went to acting school to learn the "evil voice", you know, where if they order a coffee its in a russian accent that just lets you know from the get--go they are going to try to blow up the town.
True but honestly, the whole world was portrayed in an unflattering way :south americans were always depicted as some corrupt revolutionary Zapatas, and asians as vicious vietcongs. I even remember an episode where French police were practicing torture in a vineyard..ahahah... you know, that was the world seen from Middle America... generally a local cute and selfless girl was there to keep the balance.
What i love about this show is the creativity and possibility I myself am creative with ideas so this show gives me inspiration and creativity is all that I got.
Except that most of us will not be zip tied in a factory near the docks with a bomb set to go off in 8 minutes. Only thing I learned from this video: even blonde mullets look terrible.
Sal Omon Well... you must really have a very relaxed life. I have seen myself in life or death situatios and it was the fact of using that thing we call brain that saved my life. I remember one time when I was working in a big beer factory, in which my sweatshirt got stuck in a very strong hidraulic machine, and it was a matter of seconds before it would smash and split my body in two, I had to think and react very quickly, and the solution was using random stuff that was around me to overload the machine so that it would activate the emergency and shut it down. Many other things happened similar to this, in other jobs I had. All jobs I had were in factory and warehouses, lots of dangerous machines, chainsaws and stuff, and being young and careless can lead to serious disasters... People lose fingers and sometimes entire body members, I have one uncle that lost 3 fingers because he was sleepy working with a table chainsaw...
Saya dari INDONESIA 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩 Masa kecil saya disuguhi serial ini oleh orang tua saya, karena pada masanya ayah saya sangat menyukai serial ini. Alhasil hingga saat ini selalu tertanam dibenak saya untuk selalu mencari alat seadanya, dan menggunakan akal semaksimal nya untuk mengerjakan pekerjaan di saat2 yang tak terduga, dan ditempat yang tak terduga. Serial yang sangat bermanfaat dan menginspirasi pada masanya. Thank's mac..
Funny. I know Stark and Bruce Wayne are supposed to be crazy genius, but never got that vibes from them. But this guy... not less than 5 minutes, I know he's beyond SMART!
“Dude you want to turn the radiator off and clear out these coat hangers? What’s with this garbage chute conveniently under the window?” “No man, let’s get something to eat”.
MacGyver reminds me of a Xamarin Forms Architect I have been pair programming with lately. I have spent so many hours working with someone "beyond genius" that I forgot what the word "impossible" means.
I liked this show as a kid because I was that kid that when something broke I would always take it apart to see how it worked and try to fix it with whatever I could find that would be a substitute for the original part I’ve used everything from wire hangers to shoe string to soda cans to fix something and even though what I did was meant to be a temporary fix lasted longer than expected and has never failed

well what I learned was if it moves but it shouldn't...duck tape
if it's supposed to move but it doesn't...WD-40
And May it also be with you
Yeah but the hard part is getting the duct tape😷🤭
MacGyver definitely inspired me as a child.
Heck yeah
Can you Imagine MacGyver at Home Depot ?
He'll turn it into a super advanced military base...
That Home Depot is now known Cheyenne Mountain. He built the Stargate and explores other planets under the false name "Jack O'Neill".
The more you know..
If MacGyver could see a Home Depot today he'd think our society was absolutely CRAZY for letting ordinary citizens stockpile WEAPONS OF WAR!
he starts building a 4th dimension
Lol 😂😂😂
what i always liked about MacGyver is the realism.
Ikr the car didnt explode which was realistic only the bomb
@@divine308 I also like how that same bomb was supposedly going to level the whole building.
@@applejuice5635 you missed where he mentioned that when the bomb explodes, the barrel with the chemicals would level the building.

actually there was a lot of hollywood in macgyver mixed in with realism. But still my childhood will never forget you mac.

The 80s was the best time to watch TV.
I once heard he built an atomic bomb out of some chewing gum and duct tape
That's nothing, I once made some chewing gum and some duct tape out of an atom bomb
U need to chill
+Patrick O'Ryan Oh man, that made me laugh!
I got all chewing gum, duct tape and an atomic bomb here. What can i make?
The moons gravitational pull
I heard he once made a whole entire pizza out of dough, tomato sauce, and cheese
That's brilliant!
That’s just a rumor. I confirmed it wasn’t on any episode list.
@@Maxfli82 woosh?
@@planktontimberhill7177 Likely towards you.
actually he used a loaf of white bread, a mysterious red tropical fruit, pickle juice, fresh milk and just the right amount of heat
I'll remember all these stunts next time I'm in a near death situation. MacGyver is so inspiring 😂😂
Next time..?

One trick I remember is MacGyver blowing up a light bulb with a squeeze water bottle thingy set to stream mode. I was AMAZED as a child and thought he was the coolest ever!
I was locked in my room and used my penknife to get out, thanks to using some of Macgyver's ideas.
I still do think he's the coolest
I remember that one hahaha
You were right. He was the coolest man to have ever existed.
2:50 they walked funnily in sync for a second like some NES game characters.
lol, now i can't unsee it
All was needed was health bars with their names on top.
lmao
Lmao!
You made my day with that, so true!
Macgyver one time actually plays a NES : D Think it was the game Blades of Steel which is an ice hockey game
I used to watch this show every week as a kid with my dad in the 80's. It's 2022 and the old man is still alive.
Buy the box set. Make it a Sunday night tradition.
Enjoy time with your Pops.
You’ll be glad you did
You can always trust in MacGyver :)
No show can beat MacGyver and i still watch it ! :)
Damn, very nostalgic. I used to watch MacGyver during my childhood. It was big in Indonesia back then.
I miss this guy with his tricks... He's wise and clever...
The principle of the show was very good, it was entertaining and teached kids the diy principle. It basically led me to study chemistry, no joke.
What I always liked about mac is he always had everything laying around to do his tricks lol
Right?
What a crafty and fortunate feller
Are you assuming that it was intentionally there for his benefit? How dare you 😂
This series is my childhood series, I used to watch and admire MacGver series back then, taking time from homework to watch the series.
Thank god this building is so badly built with so much random crap lying around.
CONVENIENT random crap lying around (especially that tube slide which he used to throw the bomb directly to those guys).
He could've easily thrown it out the window too.
Wasn't that a garbage shoot?
Thank the shitty carpenters, not some fantasy figure.
Isn’t that one of those chutes they have at construction sites to throw rubble in?
The building looks like it’s renovating
Always liked this TV series. Grew up in New Zealand in the 80s watching this 👍
Good
The one and only Macgyver ❤❤❤ I was in grade school when I got so addicted watching this.
Man, I love the reverb on the drums! The 80's Rule!!!
There should really be a MacGyver videogame!!!
Hitman
“Thank you Senior Macgyver!”
“Don't thank me, thank the moons gravitational pull.”
That's exactly how Heisenberg frees himself in an episode of breaking bad
not exacly the same way. Macgyver user heated matal
Heisenberg used electricity. way more dangerous
He was a Macgyver fan
#HeisengyverConfirmed
That was most likely an hommage to macgyver
McG stole it
I just love the songs they used to play in the background of the movies and series from the 90's, man
do you know the Outer limits TV series? That was a quite underrated series similar as the X-Files. In the outer limits the intro was quite amazing and they also had good background music like MacGyver.
So nice of those villains to leave them tied up by a handy vent.
Also for driving slowly and giving him time to throw a time bomb in their path.
richard dean anderson has away's been one of my favourite actors.
Those years were the best days on earth...
I love how in grade 10 science class I got to watch this all the time and use science to prove or disprove these tricks
Damn, that's a good idea
when i was watching this in my childhood i was like a..
"woah!! is this god??" then *jawdrops*
haha, i sneaked out of bed at night to watch the series, it was aired around 4am :(. xD
Every week, same here. Still the best show, in my opinion.
dead-ass!,one of my favorite 80s show cause I was 10years old and would say WHOA!,HE did that,2 thumbs up 4 MacGyver 😜
*for
He is very good actor thank you for sharing your beautiful video love your video thanks
I bust a tire on my bike. Turns out the vent was leaking. Nothing I tried worked, until I thought… what would MacGyver do? So I checked my pockets for everything I had and found a lollipop.

I'm here because when I was a kid this was my Mom's favorite and I just stumbles upon the Macgyver TV series now lol
Wow, Carter would be proud.
Cool, it’s young Mundo from American Me.
MacGyver (classic ) is and always will be my favorite show. I remember watching Mac in the late 80’s/early 90’s as a kid
The car flipped over from the explosion, but didn't take any floor damage. 😆
MacGyver was THE BEST! Thanks for the reminder.
MacGyver was a big hit here in Malaysia.
aus cent agreed
aus cent ฟ_ๆ
Was a big hit all over the world
MacGyver is a legend in Taiwan
In Poland too.
I used to stay up late for this beautiful series when I was a kid
I have a SpEd student that loves this guy! I love that he turned the class on to it. Such amazing problem solving and calming of the mind in anxiety situations.
THANK YOU MacGyver!!!!❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️🇧🇩🇧🇩
You could still watch MacGyver primetime on some parts of the world.
In regards to the realism, I can't remember if it was the producers, the directors, or Richard himself who said that they may have skipped a few steps to avoid people recreating the stunts.
As I child in the 80's it was Mac and the A-Team. LIVED FOR THIS SHIT, SON!
MacGyver and The A-Team is the greatest TV crossover that never happened.
It's awesome that he can get out of any situation... but he really sucks at not getting captured in the first place.
Obadiah Stane: Tony Stark built this in a cave, with a box of scraps!
MacGyver: Hold my Duct Tape...:D
MacGyver: Guns, Bad. Bombs, Okay.
Yup back then TV props were real. Real bombs, real bullets and real zip ties.
1:49 His face says: "Great job! Now you'll use your newly-freed arms to break the binds around your ankles, then we -- hey, what are you doing that for?" 2:05 "Hey, what about MY ankles?!"
It's so cool that McPixel was so popular they made MacGyver as a spin-off
The absurdity of ‘80s crime oriented tv shows makes me happy 😊
and with this trick my 5-year-old became his fan
I wonder how many engineers were inspired by MacGuyver as kids. 😀

First time I've ever seen it. I'm hooked. X
Anyone 2019?
👇🏻
7 ppl gave u gratification. U still alive?
If Einstein was alive and see Macgyver, he would salute him with both hands and ask him to make something to meet Alien.
When I was a kid I though MacGuyver was like James Bond. I forgot how unbelievably cheesy this show was. My children will watch every episode.
much better than new macgyver 2016
Old is better
Excellent timing!

That music must come into MacGyver's head right as he has his miracle light bulb go off. I'm sure of it.
so this is what walt was up to when he was young
How conveniently the fertilizers barrel a hanger and a small rod all is present in the room. Lol heheh
I think the McGyver's concept is a good plot in a videogame.
Macgyver said"here hold this" I wouldve said "Hell no"...real scenerio lmao
This was so magical when I was like 8
Something I saw on McGyver saved my life one time... I won't bore you with the details.
Tell us about it please
Can you imagine MacGyver making a domino set?! Omg it would be amazing lol 😆
these day you wont need anymore macgyver to think like that.
Escape the room. LOL
This is the guy you want when you go to an escape room!
Funny. I know Stark and Bruce Wayne are supposed to be crazy genius, but never got that vibes from them. But this guy... not less than 5 minutes, I know he's beyond SMART!
NEVER leave MacGyver in a cell with salt, toothpicks, and a battery!
I was too clever for that at age of 10.
I love him so much❤️
2021 and still watch mac gyver omg
Never watched this show before my time, but that was awesome and realistic
It's just fun. MacGyver is incredible!
We need MacGyver reboot taking place during a zombie apocalypse
“Dude you want to turn the radiator off and clear out these coat hangers? What’s with this garbage chute conveniently under the window?”
“No man, let’s get something to eat”.

Macgyver and A-team paved the way for Walter White.
Back then, the story line was pretty simple but entertaining.
