Best MacGruber 'SNL' Skits

He can diffuse bombs by just using a paper clip -- all while rocking plaid shirts and a mullet.

He's MacGruber, played by Will Forte in a series of 'Saturday Night Live' sketches that started in 2007, parodying the 1980s series 'MacGyver.'

The setup is always the same: MacGruber, an assistant (played either by Maya Rudolph or Kristin Wiig), and another character played by the show's host are stuck in a room -- with a ticking time bomb about to go off in 20 seconds.

Can MacGruber save the day?
Well, usually not, but he does get some laughs along the way. With 'MacGruber' hitting movie theaters today, here's a look back on his best work on the small screen. This weekend, catch him and his team of operatives in the 'MacGruber' movie.
