[THEOMGProduction]

EEEEEECCCKKKKKKKK

[tanvirsarker]

[bkaul16]

this is the most memorable episode from my childhood.

[TheDislimb]

i knew something was going to happen to the dumb ass charlie...

[EpicHawk]

Cool I listened to a old time radio show (Escape) That has the EXACT same story.

[Bassmasterlukester21]

Damn you loud comercials!!!!

[antdude]

Go ants!

[brandon052695]

@apostolicpreacher84 lol

[dragonoid908]

i will never see ants the same way again

[mtdander]

@apostolicpreacher84 macgyver ants do ;)

[cdgsap1978]

Jesus, this episode gave me nightmares unmerciful when I was a kid and saw it for the first time.

[markkjay]

yeah... about that whole first time watching it.

- me right here.

[QuartuvLarry]

The Naked Jungle starring Charlton Heston

[danstheman3]

I like this show but this episode was so ridiculous in many ways.

I've seen army ants in the rain forest and they aren't really viewed as a problem- when they come to your home or village you simply move out for a day or so, and come back to a very clean and pest-free home. To try and fight army ants would be sheer madness.

Army ants are strictly carnivores so they won't mess with your garden or crops. Also, despite the sound effects in this show, they're completely silent.

[actingimprov]

If you looked later in the episode the natives were just trying to fight them while the others grabbed what was needed and left. So they were just leaving.

[BiologyGuy1]

@danstheman3 To say that because they are strictly carnivorous and thus not a problem-is stupid. That is like saying that rabid dogs are strictly carnivorous and not a problem.

[danstheman3]

@BiologyGuy1

As I said, they are only a problem if you are foolish enough not to get out of their way. They do no damage to your home, and are often welcomed as a natural, pest cleaning service.

A rabid dog wouldn't be much of a problem either if there was no one around for it to bite.

[alcaeus]

I love how they just walk away all happy after that poor kid died for him. jeese

[PaceShot]

chubies ganna die

[CosmicGrooves]

Ad's that have the volume louder than the show I'm watching just makes me mute them and look away.

[VincentPerryShow]

Awesome Show Geez He Has LOTS Of Luck!

[ArkGrave]

Give Macgyver an

empty water bottle, straw, duct tape, paper clip, a few pebbles, and a rubber band and he'll make a machine gun outa that

I love this dude!

[DarkPhoenixChild]

You know whats stupid about this? The natives would have never stayed to fight off the ants. They call them "Driver Ants", and when they come through, everyone picks up and leaves. Its safer; soldier ants can strip a horse faster than starved piranha.

[DarkPhoenixChild]

these are nasty mothers. Sometimes they drop from trees on you, and are the only living organisim in the world that can and will construct solid structures made up entierly out of their bodies. And the shriek the entier time.

[Batmanrocks6]

The Calgary Flames? Seriously?!?!

[joshuapg21]

u can trust me with the health of your brook shields. Fuck Colgate! have some manonaise. XD

[Chaniyth]

This is one of my favorite episodes, I also really like the episodes with Murdoc, one of MacGyvers most frequent opponents.

[WaterHawk13]

wow that water must have felt good!

[iamblackmo]

OMG! I can barley hear the video but the commercials are deafening!

[JustThink00]

hitting ants with a shovel???

ok go in your backyard and find some tame little black ants. step on one, and watch two more come to the scent. Keep at it and in about 5 minutes they'll have pushed you back a few feet for fear of being bitten. they will wear you out. one single ant colony.

Their only chance was a fire barrier around the village or maybe a trench

[eddievhfan1984]

OK, it kinda starts that way, I admit, but it not's that tight fitting of a template. Check out the later episodes, it doesn't precisely the same formula.

[trijargon]

Cmon, now. Give it a full season before you drop it. Sometimes it takes that long to establish a "rythm", so to speak.

[drroberson4]

Umm, ants can float on water...they form a sphere shape and float that way... Quite intelligent little critters....LOL

[paintedhouse113]

Very good music and horror feel in this episode.

[Esuld]

Charlie=one of the most epic PHAILS in all of..... phailmania?

[Mikums2]

Indians?

[karitiger]

Can't decide if he was hotter as McGyver or Col. Jack O'neil!Regardless I love him onscreen... he's awesome!

[IdleBystander1]

Holy crap!  Charlie is Vir Cotto from Babylon 5.

[MyPisceanNature]

You mean Londo Mollari, not Vir.

[IdleBystander1]

You are very right. I knew what I meant, but failed somewhat at conveying that ; )

[x0ojustanaveragegirl]

rofl, i love macgyver.

hes so beast.

[straker454]

...wow...Charlie is ummm...an idiot. XD

[GM3210]

The rope dipped in kerosene thing......I remember the kid on Home Alone 2 doing that to those two crooks. I wonder if the producers copied it from this??? Hmm.......:\

[chickenstripe]

hahah, what an awesome story this one.

[cavemancyborg]

Dude! Macgyver saves a coca plantation?!? From man-eating ants!?!This is the craziest show ever. I love it.

[whatupchico]

06:10 Why are they yelling like that? Is that something only a certain race does?

There is no better story lines than macgyver. Compared to today's story lines these episodes can becomes movies

[whatupchico]

I want to be like MacGyver!

[CatzGNA]

One cant help but notice he's always facing off against swarthy men donning Kalashnikovs...so goes the life of a special agent in the waning days of the cold war i suppose.

[imeternallyawesome]

Do they ever say his first name!?

[indoboy113]

angus

[Dwayne667]

And I remember what a big deal that was at the time.

They chose to reveal it in about the stupidest episode, unfortunately ... a "dream-time-travel" thing.

[monkey1641]

love how the raft "exploded"  when it hit the barb wire, those rafts are not made from balloons! lol

[LadyBeth24]

lol weirdest episode ever.....great...but made me paranoid and swatting at imaginary ants lol

[antdude]

Even funnier on the ant species used.

[jourdy288]

I must be honest: the ants didn't sound particularly realistic, but this episode rocked!

[laxpanther620]

what's next attack of the uncles?

[LadyBeth24]

lol

[coolsoda0]

LOL voltage you saw that episode of snl too?

XD

[azariahsimon]

[monkey1641]

[azariahsimon]

[imeternallyawesome]

Or made it

[voltagedrop]

MacGruber!

[niffweed17]

pepsuber!

[azariahsimon]

lol

[stumper93]

we watched this in english class....that is by far the coolest thing to do in school.......watch MacGyver!!!!!

[whatupchico]

English! I would be thinking perhaps bio or science or even geology but english?

[stumper93]

yup...after reading Leningen vs. The Ants...we watched this

[whatupchico]

Really?! than your just the person I wanted to meet when seeing this. Because I asked myself how much reality was there to this story.

Really a plague of art that stretched 2 miles far and wide. Which multiply and traveled so far to kill a person in only a min.

[snowblaze8]

i love macgyvre but some of the episodes dont have much of his contraptions oh ya and i am going to make a channel completely dedicated to macgyvre contraptions im going to test them and post the results on you tube number one is exploding pinecone from target macgyvre

[MockStoneLLC]

best, show, ever.

[cerberus144]

Here! Here!

[xenugears]

the only corny part about macgyver is that they play happy go lucky music when they are being chased and shot at

[Trashjack101]

Very true

[koroke]

macgyver versus nature (ants)!

[494c6f7665416c6578]

This is "Leiningen Versus The Ants."

[Ditto503]

I'm not sure what you're referring to, but they did in fact take ant footage from The Naked Jungle.

On a side note, how come CBS can't show some professionalism when posting these? "to battle an invading horde of invading ants"? Oh no, no reduduncy there...

[494c6f7665416c6578]

Carl Stephenson wrote a short story called "Leiningen Versus the Ants." The plot and basic premise in "Trumbo's World" is copied from Stephenson's short story.

It's fun to see one of my favourite classics developed into a motion picture, although I must admit that the role MacGyver plays in this episode is rather weak compared to some of the others.

And I'm just glad that the CBS actually posted all of the full episodes. Because, well, MacGyver is awesome!

[dstapels]

Opera villians?
