Taking the vehicle of your mate to a demolition derby. What could ever go wrong?
British YouTuber Max Fosh, renowned for his outlandish pranks and viral stunts, has once again pushed the boundaries of friendship and mischief – this time by literally stealing his friend’s car and sending it to an early grave in a demolition derby. The 29-year-old content creator, who has built a fan base of over four million subscribers with his absurd ideas and audacious schemes, is no stranger to controversy. In the past, Fosh has legally declared himself dead just to reclaim £50 from an airline and even ran for London Mayor purely for comedic effect. But his latest prank might just be his wildest yet.
A Midnight Heist For The Sake Of Revenge
The prank began with a simple but devious plan. Max’s friends, twin brothers Patrick and Hugo, have long had a sibling rivalry fueled by one major difference: Patrick doesn’t drive, while Hugo proudly flaunts his shiny black Volvo V40 at every opportunity.
Fed up with his brother’s constant teasing, Patrick hatched a plan to teach Hugo a lesson – and who better to execute it than Max Fosh himself? In a late-night FaceTime call, Patrick handed Max the keys to the plot – literally. He offered up a spare set of keys to Hugo’s prized Volvo, asking Fosh to make his brother feel the frustration of being carless for once.
With Patrick’s blessing and keys in hand, Max crept into Hugo’s driveway under the cover of darkness. He filmed himself slipping behind the wheel, whispering gleefully to his camera, “I feel so naughty,” as he quietly rolled the unsuspecting Volvo into the night.
From Family Sedan To Derby Wreck
But Max didn’t just hide the car – he transformed it into a battered arena brawler. The YouTuber enlisted the help of a specialist mechanic to prep the Volvo for its chaotic demise in a demolition derby.
In a surreal montage, Max watched as Hugo’s beloved vehicle was stripped of its windows, its doors welded shut, and its interior gutted of anything that might become a projectile. To add insult to injury, Fosh even spray-painted a cheeky “Hi Hugo!” across the Volvo’s once-sleek black doors, turning the practical family car into a rolling joke.
On the day of the derby, Max played his prank to perfection. He invited both Patrick and Hugo to the racetrack under the guise of filming a new “pattern recognition” video for his channel. It wasn’t until the engines roared to life and the cars lined up for battle that Hugo began to suspect something was amiss.
Spotting the now barely-recognizable Volvo sporting his name in giant white letters, Hugo put two and two together:
“It’s a Volvo… a black Volvo… I hope it’s not my black Volvo.”
But by then, it was too late. The car was already inches away from being smashed into oblivion by a fleet of battered bangers.
Smashing A Friendship? Or Strengthening It?
True to demolition derby form, the Volvo was obliterated beyond all repair. Fosh later admitted to his audience that he felt “genuinely quite bad” for destroying his friend’s wheels. However, he didn’t leave Hugo stranded – Max surprised him with a brand-new Volvo, this time in silver, as a peace offering.
“It’s fair to say he won’t be lending me any more spare keys,” Max joked in the video’s closing moments. “But at least he’s got an upgrade.”
Fans flocked to the comments to praise the YouTuber’s commitment to chaos – and his generosity. Some called the prank “hilariously cruel,” while others argued it was the ultimate sibling payback.
As long as there are friends willing to trust him, Max will probably keep finding new ways to blur the line between prank and property damage. As for Hugo? He’s the proud owner of a brand-new Volvo – and probably a brand-new lockbox for his spare keys.
