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.
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
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."
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!
@@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.
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.
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
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?!"
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.
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.
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.
“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”.
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.
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.
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!

Macgyver just timed the release of that bomb so it would blow up the car and everyone inside. 🤯 People kinda call that kind of thing "terrorist action" these days Mac! But... but... he doesn't use guns! And he's still my hero... 😍

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 😂😂😂
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.
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
Necessity is the mother of all inventions... and MacGyver is the father.
That would SO be the subtitle if they made a modern MacGyver movie!
🤣🤣🤣🤣

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.
@@plain7605 Ah damn, you're right.
actually there was a lot of hollywood in macgyver mixed in with realism. But still my childhood will never forget you mac.
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...

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
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
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
You can always trust in MacGyver :)
No show can beat MacGyver and i still watch it ! :)
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
Damn, very nostalgic. I used to watch MacGyver during my childhood. It was big in Indonesia back then.
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.
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.
This series is my childhood series, I used to watch and admire MacGver series back then, taking time from homework to watch the series.
I'll remember all these stunts next time I'm in a near death situation. MacGyver is so inspiring 😂😂
Next time..?
@@LOLSKU115 Yeah. Next time, not this time. Understand the difference?
@@timsummers870 so u were in a near death situation

@@timsummers870 oh wow no wonder why my school always has yoga as a class, maybe I’ll use that next time I’m in a near death situation
The one and only Macgyver ❤❤❤ I was in grade school when I got so addicted watching this.
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 😂
“Thank you Senior Macgyver!”
“Don't thank me, thank the moons gravitational pull.”
Always liked this TV series. Grew up in New Zealand in the 80s watching this 👍
Good
Man, I love the reverb on the drums! The 80's Rule!!!
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
There should really be a MacGyver videogame!!!
Hitman
Wow, Carter would be proud.
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
richard dean anderson has away's been one of my favourite actors.
Those years were the best days on earth...
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.
totally realistic
SoGladUCame 😂
Well, it kind of is!
Especially the bit where the police always turn up after criminal has gone or is lying unconscious on the floor.
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.
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
MacGyver was THE BEST! Thanks for the reminder.
MacGyver: Guns, Bad. Bombs, Okay.
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
He is very good actor thank you for sharing your beautiful video love your video thanks
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
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.
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.
Obadiah Stane: Tony Stark built this in a cave, with a box of scraps!
MacGyver: Hold my Duct Tape...:D
The car flipped over from the explosion, but didn't take any floor damage. 😆
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?!"
Oh, yeah, you are right, MacGyver....
Everything is fucking logic...
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
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.
Dang..
Dang?!
Aah broadcast TV and its use of inappropriately mild language.
As O'Neill, it would be, "Aww crap!"
McKey: Crap !
Hermiöd: What have you done ?
McKey: Passed the virus code to the translator. It's wraith!
Hermiöd: Crap indeed!
The guy's a freaking genius!
The absurdity of ‘80s crime oriented tv shows makes me happy 😊
I used to stay up late for this beautiful series when I was a kid
I need some toothpaste, some salt, and a lil string
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.

Yup back then TV props were real. Real bombs, real bullets and real zip ties.
and with this trick my 5-year-old became his fan
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.
You could still watch MacGyver primetime on some parts of the world.
AWESOME! NEVER GETS OLD!
It's awesome that he can get out of any situation... but he really sucks at not getting captured in the first place.
Mac "make a dollar out of 15 cents" Guyver
Escape the room. LOL
2:42 Dang!
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.
"THEY'RE GETTING AWAY!"
_shouts towards the bad guys_
Macgyver said"here hold this" I wouldve said "Hell no"...real scenerio lmao
#MACGYVERED
I love him so much❤️
This was so magical when I was like 8
That music must come into MacGyver's head right as he has his miracle light bulb go off. I'm sure of it.
When I was kid I love macgyver till now
1:45
Don’t tell me he couldn’t squeeze his hands through that gap.
TedOfNod: I was thinking the same thing 😂
I was too clever for that at age of 10.
Excellent timing!
First time I've ever seen it. I'm hooked. X
I think the McGyver's concept is a good plot in a videogame.
“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”.
I wonder how many engineers were inspired by MacGuyver as kids. 😀
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.

these day you wont need anymore macgyver to think like that.
How conveniently the fertilizers barrel a hanger and a small rod all is present in the room. Lol heheh
This is the guy you want when you go to an escape room!
You could tell just before the mouse wheel would start spinning in his head by the music. 😂
Can you imagine MacGyver making a domino set?! Omg it would be amazing lol 😆
A screwdriver and a paper towel. No problem! Mac to the rescue.
This is what i like about Macgyver. Not the new.
Something I saw on McGyver saved my life one time... I won't bore you with the details.
Tell us about it please
Macgyver and A-team paved the way for Walter White.
