Whats your Favorite MacGyver-isms?

[hevnsnt]

So stupid TV Land has been playing Macgyver at 11:00pm and I am getting no sleep because I like HAVE to watch it or something..

So thinking back, what is the one invention that sticks out in your head the best?

I remember once he made some rocket, and tried to make it myself when I was like 8.

Now updated to MacGyver-isms! Thanks to DougyDanger

Hehehe.... I added it to my TiVo Season Pass last week....
I'd forgotten how HORRIBLE that show really was. I mean, I love watching it, but it's so poorly written.

DOH. I forgot about my tivo.. Maybe now I can get some sleep!

I remember a really old episode (might have been the pilot?) where he's stranded in the middle east and all he has is a map showing him where he needs to go...and he keeps using that map over and over in different ways!

Like, first he rolls it up and puts some pieces of glass in it to make a telescope, then he uses the scope to start a fire, then he unrolls the map and sits on it and uses it as a slide on a sand dune, and then he builds a hot air balloon and uses the map to patch a whole. It was pretty cool seeing what he could do with just one big sturdy piece of paper.

I liked the one where he arc-welded a piston head using a nickel as the welding material.

They are called "MacGyver-isms".

Any time he breaks out the duct tape its a good one in my book.

You are right though...production quality is pretty poor. Not really the show though, most shows from that era were about that level of quality (MASH being the exception...all time classic).

The one where he boosts a hydo plane (planes that land on water) with some explosive device strapped to the landing gear to get it to take off!

I like the one where he made a nuclear bomb from a tampon, a rubber band, and a paper clip.






Didn't happen but my favorite Macgyver joke.

You guys need to check out the episode where he goes back to his hometown. What drug epidemic has plagued his hometown? Marijuana? Cocaine? Speed? Nope...Crack!!! You've basically got a bunch of suburban kids running around with crack pipes in their mouths...as if! However, it does provide the interesting backstory about why MacGuyver doesn't use guns.
