MacGyvering: Difference between revisions

** There's also a prank executed for the bloopers reel in "Solitudes," (planned by Amanda Tapping and episode director Martin Wood) where Carter and O'Neill are stranded in a glacier, and she laments that she's "stuck in a glacier with MacGyver" and he can't figure a way out for them.

* Real life example: Alton Brown of ''[[Good Eats]]''. Basically, his credo of cooking is "the only single-purpose item in your kitchen should be the fire extinguisher".

* In an episode of ''[[Chuck]]'', Casey handcuffs Chuck to a counter in a frozen yogurt shop (long story). After failing to get the [[Action Girl]] to come free him, he freezes the chain with some kind of nefarious yogurt device and breaks it in two. His quip afterwards was something along the lines of "all those years of watching MacGyver finally paid off."

* The [[Myth Busters]] often refer to MacGyver as their patron saint. So, for their 100th episode, they did a MacGyver special, consisting of several of Mac's myths, followed by Tory and Grant putting Adam and Jamie through their own "MacGyver obstacle course". Though both the myths were busted, Adam and Jamie managed to go three for four on the obstacle course.

* In ''[[Person of Interest]]'' Finch makes a WiFi antenna using a Pringles can.

* In one episode of ''[[Warehouse 13]]'' Artie releases himself from handcuffs by making an electromagnet out of a hotel iron so he can get his toolbag. [[Lampshaded]] with "I was doing this [[While You Were in Diapers|when MacGyver was still trapped in his crib]]!"
