And on the third day, he bought a hydraulic press to crush all the Peeps…

On Maundy Thursday, redditor Box-Boy shared a festive video from the destructophiles with the Hydraulic Press Channel on YouTube. In the short demo, a disembodied voice calmly points out an array of Easter gifts soon to be annihilated.

“We have this lovely basket, chocolate bunny, and chocolate egg,” our host relates casually. “Let’s see what happens.”

A relentless metal press bears down on the basket, turning flowers and eggs into rubble:

Tragically, the aforementioned chocolate bunny is forced to watch the first round of destruction, as if to torment him with the foreknowledge of his own suffering.

When it’s the bunny’s turn under the press, he initially escapes his fate, as if by an act of God, but the relief is short-lived, for the machine’s operator quickly repositions the bunny onto his back, directly underneath the press—a position from which he will not rise again.

Earlier this month, the Hydraulic Press Channel hit the #1 spot on Reddit’s Videos community with a filmed attempt to fold a piece of paper more than seven times:

Their other videos have earned millions of views and a devoted following—by crushing phones, golf balls, blenders, and even Barbies, using their signature hydraulic press.

But their latest release for Easter seems especially instructive to parents who are fed up with the fanfare, sugary treats, and expensive gifts that often accompany the holiday.

As Jack Handey once quipped, “One thing kids like is to be tricked.”

What better Easter trick than decorating a fancy basket for your child only to crush it with a hydraulic press right before their tear-filled eyes?
