The MacGruber franchise, created by Will Forte and Jorma Taccone, is a parody of action films, particularly MacGyver, and follows the comedic misadventures of former Green Beret and eccentric hero MacGruber. Starting as an SNL sketch, it expanded with MacGruber (2010), a film that pits MacGruber against his arch-nemesis, and MacGruber (2021), a Peacock series sequel. The franchise is known for its irreverent humor, exaggerated action tropes, and cult following.
