Who else had a grave digger toy car as a kid
Everyone
Like he said ^
The proper question is, Who didn't have a Grave Digger toy car as a kid
@@beverlywilliams8458 losers
I’m almost 30 and have them of grave digger lol
"These trucks can withstand massive amounts of abuse!!"
*My 98' Corolla* : chuckles
DasDandyBoy every Volvo: really now?
Old Honda civics*
Haha, just little kids
Y all mean any early 90s japanese car
Corollas are pinnacle of engineering
Nah my Nokia could destroy your car one hit, not even grave digger can fuck up my Nokia 3310
The first grave digger was painted by my dad. Glenn Brunner and the art work was Fred Bowman. My pops still has the drivers door with Dennis’s name on it.
That's so awesome you must be very proud of your dad.
Nice im guessing he was based some where in currituck or some where around there
Bro no way
@@themarksmancast1732 Chesapeake
@@MrJbrunner post a vid of it that would be amazing to see!
boys remember this as a monster truck,
men remember this as their favorite hotwheels toy
Both
I remember using a tech deck ramp for literally throwing these things across the living room. So many axels were bent back then
Both fr
Legends remember 1) all three of these things and 2) playing as this truck all the time in monster jam 2007 on ds
both. I like em both
Straight up, this is the coolest Bumper 2 Bumper episode on Donut.
Hands down to this sick team doing everything for us. I salute.
They are amazing they actually gave me one of the pistons out of the engine and I am so thankful for it
Angre Reacc most coolest lol
I don’t want me be that guy... but I wanted James to drive it .. like 300 feet
... grammar???
Made me think monster trucks are more badass now
Can we just acknowledge how great the Donut editing and filming is ? Really guys, you rock.
Best car show since Top Gear
It's a good show but don't push it
I despise the editing,it sucks in my opinion
Seriously
the editing would take days on these, nice work with the few staff you have
honestly, grave digger, the old maximum destruction and el toro are my favourite monster truks
I like both grave digger and el toro loco as well as monster mutt
@@melo5057 monster mutt legendary
and like that I’m 5 years old again
Aye, this guy gets it!
Did you also watch the world finals and try to make your own with the toys?
I think everyone should see a monster truck show in their life
*if u already seen one, go to another one. lol*
Yeah lol
Isaac Rumfelt tbh its not that exciting
@@susika2226 bruh I bet you also think mayonnaise is spicy
MoonLadd nah bro lmao, its just nothing like the videos ive seen, it was slow af just some slow ass car crushing
"We got a friggin monster truck" Naw son, you got THE monster truck.
Nah, THE monster truck is still... blue.
I agree “THE MONSTER IS BLUE” but the biggest rival is definitely grave digger so it too is THE
Grave digger I knew from when i was a child. This guy just casually BUYS it. Like holy shit
@@Tiyratania He didnt buy it, just borrowed one
Whatever, grave digger is the best
The edits of James moving to places in the frame just kill me every time lmao
5:19 My favourite cursed image
yep
just realized the truck has the names of other trucks at the time on the tombstones
same. i just laughed when i noticed that. sick attention to detail.
And Dennis Anderson
Those are the trucks that were defeated in the finial round when Digger has won the Championships.
YOU ARE OFFICIALLY A TRUE FAN NOW, THANKS DONUT
All tombstones: Mowhawk Warrior, Grace Digger The Legend, Som Uva Digger, Max-D, Bigfoot, Dennis Anderson
6:32 was probably the trippiest thing I've ever seen
The edits in this video are stressing me the fuck out lmfao
Parker Lackey Swear it was jus so random I had to ask myself did that even happen ?
Same
I saw this comment, didn't like it cuz i didn't know what it was referring to. I see that edit, and this exact comment comes to mind, had to come here and like it. Yeah, shit was funny
6:32 is absolutely terrifying 😂😂
Big Foot: "That's my boy"
IKR
6:32 OH NO I GOT JAMES TURNING INTO A VIPER FLASHBACKS
Rashed3030 what video what that on?
@@twingolord Steve Aoki's bumper to bumper
Omg it does
@@zorbiac4970 HISS
Филипп Куцылло thanks
Used to love watching Monster Jam in the mornings turned me into a car guy
Same. Its amazing to see how far the sport has come. There was a time where basically if you rolled the truck you were done. Nowadays trucks can go through so much more and perform way better.
@Conor never was able to sadly but was able to go to a few shows in anaheim.
My father was able to watch trucks like USA-1 and Snake Bite during racing matches in the Silverdome and other places.
Conor I remember seeing it at a hockey arena in Florida. Jet engines are quieter than that show
Honestly same
The video games were so fun
6:06 *shows price for a single tire* me: *looks at photo of current car* huh, so that’s why they use 10 to 20 year old cars
Imagine someone doing it with some cheap exotic that pops up after someone kills the motor and tranny and can't afford replacements. Or a luxury whip when rights hit rock bottom.
I mean....whats another 25k minus however much money you can part most of the vehicle out for a monster rolls Royce silver seraph. Could even get clone bodies made once you shell the car.
Man I remember going to a monster jam show and seeing gravedigger for the first time. Memories
You should do a bumper 2 bumper on Ken Block's Hoonicorn
Hell, any of KB's cars!
NUGGET how did you type this I thought you couldn’t read
The Hotwheels Deora II
@@kingstyle7314 dont be like that with fan boys
dttfmeah ibydkhtrah I was making a joke about how in the first game he wrote a letter to lily but couldn’t read
I loved this truck growing up especially in the games
This truck and ultimate destruction, that truck looked a friggin tank
@@zirkh1609 I think you mean maximum destruction
was too young tp play them sadly
Which games?
@@ismaeellahrie9769 Monster Truck Rumble
That transition at 6:32 honestly caught me off guard I’m still laughing
Love watching this while my parents literally talk about divorce
Damn u ok?
This might be serious but your profile name and pic made it fucking HILLARIOUS
F
At least they taught you an important lesson about marriage, never get married.
Hhshahahhahahhhah
I'm a simple man. I see Grave Digger, I click like.
MoLiEG89 lol same.
No
I’m a simple man. I see like clicker,
I dig grave
Don’t worry it didn’t mean anything
Sup
*remembers my grave digger toy and sniffs the rubber of the wheels everyday*
Dog you just brought back so many memories 😂😂😂😂
I love the smell of rubber tires on the morning!
Why does this sound like a fetish?
@@Thrashpuppy because there is a such thing as rubber/pvc fetish
oof, that was the best thing about them. i can still remember that smell.
0:01 I thought that was a RC😂
Man nothing beats a good old monster jam freestyle. These trucks are damn insane!! Thanks for this one, Grave Digger will always be a legend
“Most iconic truck”
*Bigfoot intensifies*
^this
I only had eyes for grave digger as a kiddo tho
Bigfoot is the Hulk Hogan of the monster truck world.
Before I knew what monster trucks were. I had a grave digger toy. I only heard about Bigfoot when I was like 15
Most iconic truck now, not 30 years ago
I'm about to start up grave digger........... imagine being able to say that....... just ponder this for a moment.
gravy d I bet whoever works at a graveyard digging graves gets to say that pretty often
It wasn't grave digger....but imagine this. I'm about to go for a ride in a road legal monster truck.
Family friend can build his own self built vehicles and have them registered like boutique small batch production vehicles road legal and all. He has like 4 monster trucks. Well ones technically a monster car. Boy was that funny. People in cars freak the fuck out.
greg digger
bmxriderforlife1234 what are they called?
Everyone’s childhood dream
this just made me realise why i used to like monster jam so much. ive been to 4 shows in groningen while i was like 9-13 years old. big things with big wheels making big jumps and big sounds. its awesome
I remember when I was at a Monster Jam and grave digger lost a wheel and kept on going
Sweet jeebus.
FELD ruined that
@@Ob1tuber They ruined everything man. From shutting trucks off that lost a wheel to the dirt tracks we have now. Wish we still had the crush car tracks :/
@@Ob1tuber FELD are fucking pussies honestly
"Monster Jam" Fuck do those two words bring back memories.
I skipped my senior prom in highschool to go to Monster Jam. Totally worth it. 👍
@@j00b7s LOL! I'd say it was worth it too!
@@guyontheinternet8891 It was definitely worth it. Yeah, it was with my ex girlfriend but Monster Jam holds a very special place in my heart and she can't take that away from me.
@@j00b7s no woman can separate the men of cars from their natural habitat
"HELL FREAKING YEAH"... was shouted by my husband when he gets the notification... damn scared rhe life out of me... A freaking Bumper to Bumper on a monster truck... these guys are nuts... I love it... Great video... Keep up the good work...
The first time I saw Grave Digger was in Monster Jam on PSP, since then I've been in love with the truck and watched almost all the shows
I appreciate the creative editing. Thank you.
The grave digger is my favourite monstertruck since i was like 5.
Janne same here brother
No.
Grave Digger, Monster Mut, and El Toro Loco
@@NathanSchneiderOutdoors :(
Same here
"friggin MONSTER TRUCK!"
*nostalgia noises*
when I saw the grave digger for the first time I loved it. got to see it in my town and it was cool. I can see why so many people love monster trucks, just the amount of power to stunts like that amazes me.
I remember Bigfoot was more popular when I was a baby but Grave Digger was always the coolest.
i find it funny that my class is making coffin carts to race and my group chose to make ours look like the grave digger. then only for donut to do a video on this beast
James: Ten and Two's *ALWAYS*
Me: Oh No!!! The editing skills on this epidode is getting *Too Real*
Supposed to be 9 and 3
I just realized I’ve seen Grave Digger live 3 times in my life, so that’s cool.
I remember seeing this dude way back in 2004 along with the Ninja Turtle truck, I haven't seen a Monster Truck show since. I really need to see another one!!
The amount of tire shine to coat those wheels, jeez.
Dr Dinkle they prolly use a hose hookup tire shine like the miracle grow that screws on your hose
No it takes like 15 minuets to shine them
MonsterTruck 28 he is talking about how much tire shine not how much time
Lol
New logo, who dis?
Day 39 of asking James to do an Up to speed on his Dad
Man...We're too early for this shit xD
@@Kurobayashi765 who is is dad?
J.D the world may never know
No U
I dunno man... Jeremy Clarkson's talent fee is pretty steep
That damn truck brings me to tears with each rev. GO DIGGER!
6:32 The edits are just amazing in this video😂
This has always been my favorite monster truck.
6:33 hats off to the editor who that did that transition!
Oh lawd!
THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!
I've watched so many Monster Truck Rallies and Grave Digger was ABSOLUTELY the reason 💓😍😍😍💓
Watching this with my 5 years old son. He knows more about them than me lol. Loving the excitement on his face right now!
Woahhh bumper 2 bumper on a monster "The Grave Digger" truck ❤️ 🔥🔥🔥
Crazy right?
A bumper to bumper is definitely going to be needed for rob dahm’s 4 rotor AWD Rx-7
More Monster Jam and your video was awesome
I’ll never forget seeing BIG FOOT around ‘80 or ‘81. I was 12. EPIC!
Dennis is the GOAT and his son Ryan takes it to the next level.
Was about to say the same thing. What Ryan is doing lately is insane.
The background music when James was getting in the truck 😂👌🏾
Always been my favorite since I was little. Haven been into monster trucks lately... but still love em.
James climbing in the truck while holding a GoPro in his mouth made me fall in love with the Donut crew. Pure dedication to the art. Love you guys, keep making great Videos.
You know you made it when they let you review and even start up the Grave Digger, I'm happy for you guys you're great!
It s just an absolute beast. I have such great memories with it...
I remember the first time that I saw a Monster Jam show transmitted there in Italy, and it was amazing! Grave Digger, El Toro Loco and Blue Thunder was my favourite of all!
I remember seeing grave digger live it was an amazing experience I wouldn't trade anything in the world for
Once again, Bravo to the whole crew constantly putting out world class content. Editors are killing the game with the transitions and I just love James and Mo Powah Baby
"most iconic truck in the world"
Bigfoot...."am I a joke to you?"
Lol 😂
Grave digger and bigfoot haven't competed against each other since like 2011 or 2012
@@fernandolomas6635 what does that have to do with being iconic?
@@Rangerman69420 it was just a random fact about the two icons
Yes yes your are
so many memories behind this car I remember seeing it in person as a kid I kinda forgot about it till I saw this video thank you donut media
Seen Grave Digger at a show in Winnipeg when i was a kid. Such an amazing experience
Oh my god this is the best crossover I could ever ask for!
Seriously such good editing. That was entertaining and funny as hell. Love you guys!
ThanX for such great made documentary...This made us go and watch monster track jam... 😉
Grew up watching monster trucks for some reason! And I couldnt forget this one in particular!
That poor kid in the back that didn’t get a drink probably feels so left out
"at least i still got paid" 😂
This is literally the BIGGEST icon of my childhood. THANK YOU, JAMES!!!!!!
What a great video! I've watched it twice already!
You guys are truly the GREATEST CAR SHOW EVERRRRR
We need a Bumper2Bumper episode of the whole team/shop!!! Keep up the great work!
This is so nostalgic I really miss my grave digger hotwheel now
You make every video 💯 times better, funny af 😂
I wasn't expecting to get hit with nostalgic goosebumps like this
Love your show james all the way from Australia 🤟loved gravedigger since I went to a show when I was 5.
This was always my favorite monster truck
Seen the truck up close on person in sweden a few times, even had the pleasure to meet the crew and drivers a few times.
I've seen Monster Jam 3 times in my life and they were fun every time.
lol “as tall as Lil Wayne”
As me
5'5" stuntin' like I'm 5'8"!
When I was six I went to my last monster jam with my father, we used to go each year for the providence monster jam, it was so much fun, until I realized we had an opportunity to go into the pits…Jesus Christ it was the best, and the exact wheel you were sitting on, I was in that wheel 7 years back... damn all the memories
Grave is my favorite and will always be my favorite monster truck. I remember I used to have a grave digger monster truck toy.
Thats so cool dude, i grew up watching this stuff
5:04 "wee" :)
Man I loved playing with the hot wheels version as a kid
RPM they rolled so smooth!
For real I still got some of mine
//Hi\\ same. Got a whole loaded collection, some from the early 2000’s
Love this episode
I’ve been to like 5+ of these shows and it still doesn’t feel like enough.
Me and my grandma used to watch Monster Jam she loved that show lmao
Damn I was expecting him to rip around in it ☹️. Still sick episode y'all thanks for sharing 🤘
Kevin Harvick is running the sickest Grave Digger scheme this weekend.
the transition at 10:41 is one of the funniest bits of editing I've seen in a while! Kudos to the editors
I always remember loving this truck I used to have a toy of this truck and when I play the psp monster jam game I choose this truck for everything
Also when is see this video about this truck I scream while click the video as fast as a drag car
Nice! Now could you do the same for Big Foot? They are both the most iconic monster trucks in history!
I remember sitting in the seat of Grave Digger and meeting Dennis Anderson when I was 6 man I'll never forget that amazing day he's still my idol and a big reason why I wanna get into the sport someday
I remember going to a monster jam show when I was little and saw grave digger, one of those memories you never forget.
