The MacGyver saves ... fad consits of satires of the 1985 series MacGyver. In the show, MacGyver would typically concoct bold and daring plans involving contraptions created from the most common household appliances. Typical items include paper clips, duct tape, lengths of rope, and other items that are essentially useless on their own. They are normally used to make things like rocket boosters, bombs, or weapons of some type.
The MacGyver YTMNDs parody this occurance by starting off with a still image or animation of some character, celebrity, or person in apparent danger. Then they ask an open-ended question asking for someone's help to solve a problem. In the next frame, MacGyver suddenly appears, usually in a situation outside of the typical MacGyver universe. After the characters have told MacGyver the problem, he usually asks "What do I have to work with?" and the people in need list three items; the items are most commonly a paper clip, a roll of duct tape, and an item related to the situation in question. He then states "I'll have it fixed in no time," which is typically denoted as 14 seconds. After he has fixed the problem, the characters are astounded he has completed the task and they ask how he did it, eliciting the response "I'm MacGyver, LOL!"
The sound file accompanying the YTMND is almost always the original television theme song, easily found on P2P networks or a quick search of the internet.
