“The lobster went undefeated. A new record!”

Playful & Fantasy ViolenceA little

What Parents Need to Know

This video is a short, silly stunt where a live lobster is used to crush various creator-branded products like Prime, Feastables, and Joyride gummies. The lobster appears unharmed, but the video may raise questions about animal welfare. On the positive side, it's a harmless, fast-paced entertainment that might spark curiosity about marine life or product testing. However, the video has a moderate hidden advertising score (0.30) due to the prominent display of branded items, and a low-quality stunt score (0.40) for its focus on destruction. Parents should be aware that the video is purely for shock value and has no educational content.
