Shawn K's channel cover as of 2017 (since they both moved into his current house) |
Based on one of my post that I made earlier, which was You => stuff destruction videos on YouTube..., I'm gonna tell you about one YouTube channel of that genre, which is in my opinion, is one of my most enjoyable ones that I ever watch. Until now, I always watch their videos as my stress reliever. Even though I also watch some stuff destruction videos by other channels that are way popular than those two guys that I mentioned here, I do sometimes watch those two guys's destruction videos for sure... So, I'm gonna tell you about what's so special to me about the channel itself of their destruction videos.
1. General
Shawn (wields a hammer) & Matt (wields a hatchet) destroying a vintage dishwasher in that "Vintage Dishwasher Destruction" video... Credits belong to the YouTube channel itself... |
2. Explanations
Just like what I said in You => stuff destruction videos on YouTube..., I enjoyed this channel due to my usual stuffs about how I ended up enjoying these types of videos that looks like this channel's would be. Back in 2013, during I was wandering by several electric fan videos by various channels on YouTube those days, I "suddenly" watch some fan destruction videos by various channels, and this channel is also no exception. It's because they both already uploaded two fan destruction videos like these:
Then, during I watched Garret Claridge's "Removing" the Ceiling Fan, with OUR HEADS in 2014, this channel also upload their own ceiling fan destruction video in that year, which was this one:
At least they both didn't destroy any vintage fans anyway, and they both also made two sequels of their both ceiling fan destructions in 2015. One was the one that was mounted on the ground, then got destroyed using thermite and pickaxe, and the other one was the same method that almost like this one above here, but with some Barney dolls involved... Okay, back to the reason about why I enjoyed this channel. Since they uploaded those three ceiling fan destruction videos that they both made, I'm pretty much enjoyed by the way how they both destroying things with their tools that they both prepared for this channel's purpose. With their both's yellow-black sledgehammer that they owned since those two Destroying A CRT TV videos that they both made in 2011, this channel becomes very iconic for destroying stuffs and entertain every viewers at the same time, such as myself. From what I remembered, this channel also have several funny moments that happens in most of their both's destruction videos. So, here are the funny moments about them that I remembered:
- Most of destruction videos that they both made involved some of their own laughs for a moment for various reasons. For instance, in Magnavox TV Destruction, Shawn laughed after Matt broke the CRT TV's screen with a hammer. Also, in Dell Computer Destruction 4, they just laughed after Shawn knocked the whole computer set down, during the computer itself got BSOD due to he pulled a cable that was connected into a hard drive with a plier before.
- In Cordless Phone Destruction, Matt just got hurt and said "AAAWW!!!", during he tried to broke it open and stepped it over. Although Shawn also said that due to he got hit by a piece of plastic that came from the unit itself during Matt tried to chop it off into pieces with a hatchet.
- In Dishwasher Destruction, Shawn just tripped during he tried to mess around with the dishwasher's front panel itself that being destroyed by Matt. It also happened again later in Payphone Destruction, during he tried to pull the payphone itself, then he just tripped that caused Matt laughed so hard.
- In the later part of Microwaving A USB Hub, Matt threw a microwave's plate then it shattered into many pieces, and they said "Oops!". It also happened again later in Jack In The Box In The Microwave, Matt just simply dropped the microwave's plate off the camera, then he laughed hard.
- In Elmo vs Lawn Mower, Shawn just got hit by an Elmo that being spun with a drill that Matt had fun with them. It also happened again later in Front Load Washer Destruction, during Matt tried to "remove" that knob of the machine's itself with a mini sledgehammer, the thing itself just flew straight off into Shawn that caused him got hurt.
- In Toilet Destruction, this was where Matt laughed so ridiculously, yet constantly in most of the parts, especially during they both tried to break the toilet itself.
- In Dryer Destruction, Matt just laughed so hard during he tried to roll Shawn inside a dryer's drum, and it actually did happen that caused him hurt for a little.
- In the same destruction video where Shawn got hurt by a front load washing machine's knob, Matt just laughed because Shawn had some "dance" on the top of the machine itself.
- In Small CRT TV In The Microwave, during they both tried to destroy the TV itself, they decided to finish it off with some firecrackers. The second one was the best; that caused the microwave's door blew off straight into the camera and they both laughed so hard.
3. Advantages and disadvantages
a. Advantages
- They both have a bunch of tools to destroy stuffs. Ranging from normal tools (such as few hammers, sledgehammer, axe, baseball bat, etc), to power tools (such as drill, chainsaw [only seen once], reciprocating saw, band saw, mitre saw, etc).
- They both have some stuffs to set them on fire, such as lighter, propane torch, firecrackers, thermite, and certain spray applicators that makes a homemade flamethrower (such as deodorant, bug spray, etc).
- They both have their own typical humour that causes every audience who watches their destruction videos gets entertained yet laughed rather than depressed or making some hate comments on them both (although this isn't the case if they still hating them, sometimes). Especially for Matt's laughs in most of the videos.
- Their destruction videos always have a typical intro of their destruction videos of their respective items themselves, since that TV/VCR Destruction video, except for extra stuffs.
- Shawn has a knowledge about electronic stuffs, so there's no question if he knows about how he and Matt destroys stuffs or have fun with electronics, such as certain videos like Small 12V Transformer Burnout, Fun With MOT, and so on.
- Doll House Fire is the most popular video that they both uploaded.
b. Disadvantages
- No channel's description at all, just blank.
- It only have subscribers less than 100K (but it's okay to me).
- Matt doesn't have his personal YouTube channel.
- Most of the videos only got so few views, especially very old videos when Shawn only recorded the footage with his old analog camcorder.
- The greatest disadvantage among all of them, which is how they both don't upload destruction videos quite often. It happens since late of 2017, where they both already moved into their new location in order to make more of their both's advanced destruction videos.

So, there you have it for how much specialty about me with those two guys that is well-known for destroying stuffs, including electric fans that I mentioned before. I don't think if I will make another one of this kind of post about specific YouTube channel like this, though... And that's all from what I can say about this channel, and thanks for reading this post.
