7 Epic Videos of Gadget Destruction
View As Slideshow »
1. Kid Breaks iPad Outside the Store
Here's a video of a group of teenagers who buy an iPad at Best Buy, then smash it with a bat in front of all the people in line waiting to buy their own. Some sense of humor they have.
2. Office Space Printer Beatdown
It's the classic scene from 1999's Office Space, where a printer gets the justice it deserves. Note: this video contains explicit lyrics.
3. Professor Smashes Laptop
While this video has been proven to be an April Fool's joke, it must have surprised the students to see their professor smash a laptop in class.
4. Facebook Parenting for The Troubled Teen.
It's tough being a parent, so this dad clearly took to some creative lengths to teach his daughter a lesson about what she posted on Facebook. Did he go to far?
5. Will It Blend? - iPhone 4
Will it Blend? has pureed many gadgets over the years, but the iPhone 4 video, after the controversy of a prototype being left at a bar, was pretty clever.
6. Is It A Good Idea To Microwave An iPod?
This might be a knockoff of the Will it Blend? series, but it is fun to see the classic iPods again -- until they catch on fire.
7. iPhone Versus Crossbow
There are a lot of homemade iPhone destruction videos on YouTube, but this one is unique in that it includes a crossbow and arrow.
On Thursday, a video of a father shooting his daughter’s laptop hit a nerve across the web, gaining more than a million views in 24 hours. His fury at his daughter — and her laptop — had people talking.
Unfortunately, destruction of the technology we love (and sometimes love to hate) has been the subject of plenty of videos and pop culture references in the past. From the frustrated protagonists in Office Spacesmashing a monstrous printer, or testing the “blendability” of a brand new iPhone, people like seeing fancy tech toys eviscerated.
