MacGyvering: Difference between revisions

Line 193:
* Jenny 10 from ''[[Dex Hamilton Alien Entomologist]]'': "Last week I made a hadron collider from a broken hairdryer and a box of paperclips..."
* Played with on ''[[G.I. Joe: Renegades]]''. Being fugitives on the run, it's a given. Duke manages to diffuse a bomb with a wad of chewing gum, but Roadblock's attempts to jury-rig an engine-cable for the truck don't go as smoothly.
* Both subverted and played straight in ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'': the KND's self-parodying [[Bamboo Technology]] equipment mostly consists of random objects, pieces of wooodwood, and duct tape, fondly referred to as '2x4 Technology.' It was played completely straight [[Exaggerated Trope| (and exaggerated)]] in "Operation: E.L.E.C.T.I.O.N.S.", where Numbah One escaped from a cell by slugging Lunk (who was guarding him) stealing Lunk's bubble gum, and turning the gum into a makeshift skeleton key, which likely for the [[Rule of Funny| sake of humor]], was given the 2x4 designation [[Fun with Acronyms| G.U.M.M.B.O.]] right on the spot. ("Gooey Unlocking Mush Maximizes Break Outs.")
* On ''[[Beast Wars]]'', [[The Smart Guy|Rhinox]] often had to improvise with whatever spare parts were available to build new useful tech. [[Lampshaded]] in "Chain of Command":
{{quote|"Make a device to extract physical molecular structure from an alien probe? Man, I gotta be a miracle worker."}}
Line 199:
* ''[[My Little Pony]]'': In "The Return Of Tambelon", the ponies are able to break out of Grogan's dungeon by using their gruel ration and Fizzy's bubble-making magic to turn a crack in the ceiling into a gaping hole that they can escape through.
* ''[[Thomas the Tank Engine]]'': In "James and the Coaches", James' rough riding causes the brake pipe on one of his coaches to rupture, bringing the train to a standstill. The crew covers the hole with newspaper and pressures a reluctant passenger to hand over his leather bootlaces to seal it up. It works.
