The New MACGYVER Has One of The Dumbest Hacking Scenes of All Time

We've been preaching for awhile now that the new MacGyver series was bad, but we had no idea it was this bad. Like, so bad you see someone hack a computer by hitting it with a hammer. No, this isn't a joke...that is 100% what happens.

Disclaimer: I'm going to assume the video below this text will be deleted since it's on Reddit and CBS doesn't want its shame to spread, so they're gonna have it taken down. In anticipation of that, here's what happens:

A scientist is explaining what he needs to do to "hack" a certain computer.

A girl in an orange jumpsuit, presumably some kind of convict, runs up and smashes the computer with a hammer.

Convict: *holding up the hard drive of smashed computer* "Why interrogate a convict when you can just look inside her brain? We'll scan the data as 'read only' and then search the disc image to extract the key."

Scientist: *shocked and in awe* "Bypassing all the logic bombs..."

Convict: "I thought you said this was going to be hard?"

*MacGyver smirks in approval*

Guys, there are no words for this. Don't get me wrong, the original show was campy...but it never reached these levels of stupidity.
