Let's see if we can list others

In High Control he tried to mix some ingredients which was supposed to explode when someone stood on it. It didn't work, resulting into a fistfight.



I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver.
Sometimes you just have to die a little inside to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you.
It's better to be a little sad than to be fake content.

That's not a MacGyverism. It was just the shed was falling appart.

MacGyverisms are when he takes items and uses them in a way they're not meant to be used for.
