Apparently, Crash Test Dummies also celebrate Christmas, and since they're doomed to a life of pain and service to the auto industry, they really only know one way to celebrate. Ok, jokes aside, when I started this video I expected to see a lot of toys get smashed to smithereens against a wall. What I didn't expect to see, were children in crash test dummy masks singing in another language! This whole thing felt like a fever dream, but I can't say I didn't enjoy it. Check it out below and thanks to Geekologie for the heads up. ...
