Epic Explosion Prank Viral: Guy Blows Up Grandma’s Car, Footage Goes Viral [Video]


Roman Atwood is at it again. Although he’s made headlines in the past for his numerous creative pranks that have gone viral on social media, there probably isn’t another prank on the internet that could top this one.

This time, he decided to pull one over on his girlfriend’s grandmother — by blowing up her car! While most people may be wondering how you could actually make someone believe their car has been blown to smithereens, you’ll just have to watch the epic footage and see it to believe it.

The three-minute video begins with Atwood giving an introduction explaining the series of events that would be taking place. Apparently, the grandmother assumed she’d been invited over for a series of quick interviews, reports Opposing Views. But, shortly after the first interview begins, Atwood asks to borrow her car. It’s quite obvious she’s apprehensive about the seemingly odd request.

Reluctantly, she agrees to allow Atwood and his crew to borrow her car. She explained just how important the car is to her because it holds sentimental value. Atwood responds with a reassuring statement of his own, promising to be “extremely careful,” purposely omitting his epic plan to torch the car.

“We’re going to be extremely careful,” he said. “Everybody shooting has been practicing, and they’re going to shoot near the car but if something happens to the car –”

When they step out of the house, the camera shows the car parked so many feet away from the house. But, that’s not all. There’s also a crew of gunman waiting to fire in the direction of the vehicle.


Of course, the grandma is visibly alarmed by the questionable scene, but he assures her everything will be fine and that they only plan to shoot in the direction of her car — not at it. Needless to say, they fail catastrophically. As the bullets ring out, of course, everyone fires directly at the car and within seconds it is engulfed in a massive ball of fire!

“Are you guys serious?” Atwood exclaims.

“Oh, my car!” she said.

As she continues to mourn the apparent loss of her car, another car drives up behind them. Of course, it’s her real car. Apparently, the torched car was only a replica of the original. So, the epic prank went off without a hitch.

However, that’s not all. Atwood goes a step further to surprise his girlfriend’s grandma. Not only did he trick her with a replicated car, but he also replaced the vehicle with a brand new one! Needless to say, she was faced with lots of different emotions following the roller-coaster series of events!Roman

The video, uploaded to YouTube on May 17, has already gone viral with more than three million views. More than 270,000 social media users voted that they liked the prank, deeming it absolutely hilarious. However, there were some who didn’t quite find the humor in it.
