There are plenty of random videos on YouTube, but when it involves pointless destruction and a Ford Raptor then it is worth investigating. Everyone has wanted to re-enact that poignant scene from Office Space where the guys destroy the printer that has pained their workplace existence, but whether or not this served as motivation for this video is unknown.
This particular video starts off painfully slow, but around the 5-minute mark things begin to get a little bit silly. After a brief introduction to the vehicle, the guys decide to start in with the destruction of a computer monitor and a bunch of random dollar-store items, such as a creepy doll and what some might consider an equally disturbing gnome. After watching countless horror movies, it is possible to develop a complex about dolls, but this guy takes things to equally strange place as the crushing begins.

Right away a small plastic doll is decapitated, but not subjected to crushing by BFG tires. The first item crushed by the Raptor, is a basic flat-screen monitor. Perhaps this monitor had issues or the guys just decided to trash it for fun, but it met its end thanks to the rear tire of the Raptor. Just in case, the truck was placed into off-road mode for the destruction.
Oddly, the monitor did not look all that bad despite being backed over; perhaps if the driver had put a bit more effort into things, the level of destruction would have been more impressive. Following the monitor, was the crushing of a creepy figurine or gnome that could be found at Grandma’s house, if your grandmother lacked taste or eye sight. Only half of the little guy remained as he was spit out by the tire. For the finale, the guys tried to crush a plastic baby doll. This was a failure because all the doll received was a tire mark.
Overall, the lesson to takeaway from this video is that dollar stores sell some durable dolls.
This baby doll appears to be built Ford tough, or at least pretty durable for a really cheap toy.
