MacGruber is a master when it comes to getting the most out of objects, so who better to test multi-tool gadgets than Will Forte and Kristen Wiig? Can the Wallet Ninja really do it all? How useful is a paracord bracelet? Do we all need to own robot flashlights? Our guest correspondents test them all, giving out definitive, and highly accurate, reviews.
Peacock’s original comedy series, MACGRUBER, based on the iconic SNL parody sketch () and cult-favorite 2010 film, is back!
Starring Will Forte and Kristen Wiig, stream it now – only on Peacock

For the record “cold” is definitely not the leading cause of death by just about any metric. Its either heart disease or cardiovascular disease for sure.

How do they not have a clue how an old fashioned can opener works? Too young to have ever owned one, but saw it in use in cartoons and tv shows enough to know how it works. I cringed when he was turning the tool sideways

Is there anything more damning for a survival tool like the paracord bracelet than McGruber himself expressing confusion as to its abilities

I got a Wallet Ninja years ago as a gift, I’ve literally only for used it once or twice as a bottle opener. It main job is making my wallet feel heavier and more substantial lol.

I think he was perhaps more afraid of accidentally breaking the card because you kinda need the right force and the right position for it. The card maybe don’t hold up that well to it

No point if they don’t know how to use the tools. Don’t use tools next time to review it.

So, I’m brushing my teeth and half paying attention to the video, when all of a sudden I hear, “Ryan Robinson left a comment” and I literally spit out my toothpaste all over my mirror and my heart is racing that my name just came out of Will Forte’s mouth. Sadly, it was Ryan Robinson NOT Robison and I never purchased this item, but it was still a nice little cool panic attack there for 3.5 seconds. Lol Also sadly, it took 3 minutes to clean my mirrors to get off all the spit and toothpaste. Lol 😂
