MacGyver. Hell yeah.


I don't remember this show being as hilariously ridiculous as it actually is.  I grew up loving this show.  Hell, I use MacGyver as a verb when I'm trying to rig something up.  I love MacGyver.

Having said that, this show is bad.  Really bad.  I've been slowly watching through the entirety of the series and I'm just about to finish the last couple of episodes.  The shit that MacGyver is capable of makes Einstein look like a monkey humping a rock.

And he has a rad mullet.  In case you haven't noticed by now, I'm obsessed with the power of the mullet. If someone wanted to defeat him, all they had to do was cut his hair and he would have become instantly retarded.

Everyone knows that he is capable of building a car out of toe nail clippings and floss, or that he could dismantle a bomb with a forklift (he really did do that, sort of).  I'm willing to bet you didn't know that besides being a master of physics, chemistry, mathematics, fist fights, and perfectly quaffed hair, Macgyver has worked on, or is capable of, these jobs at one point or another:

And much, much more.  The dude lives on a house boat - how bad ass is that?  I do feel sorry for him though, because he is incapable of walking down the street without witnessing a bank robbery or triple homicide.  He can't even watch a hockey game without being involved in some kind of assassination plot.
MacGyver doesn't drink, hates guns, is a vegetarian, protects the environment, and continually works for social causes.  If he didn't have a righteous mullet and punch fools in the face every episode, I would think he was a pussy.
I also love that he constantly wears sleeveless shirts, but has no muscle definition whatsoever.  Totally bad ass.  I could go on and on about MacGyver with no real point for ages, so I'll just stop here.
