MacGruber is a comedic character created by Saturday Night Live (SNL) that parodies the action hero archetype, particularly reminiscent of MacGyver. The character, played by Will Forte, is known for his over-the-top antics and ineptitude in handling dangerous situations, often relying on absurd and impractical solutions. The character gained popularity, leading to a feature film released in 2010, also titled MacGruber. The film expands on the character's humorous exploits as he attempts to thwart a villain, played by Val Kilmer, using his unconventional methods. The film has since developed a cult following for its unique blend of comedy and action.
