YouTube user jeremiahjw has some compelling slow motion videos of stuff blowing up. Not buildings or robots, although he does compare himself to Michael Bay. The focus of his spendid 'splosions is small stuff like the toy cars above, a variety of outdated gadgets, and most eloquently, Mr. Potato Head. All set to wonderful, happy music.
About the embedded video:
The cars I used were "off brand" cars and Matchbox. The yellow truck was a Hotwheels, the only one to survive un-damaged. Filmed on the Casio EX-F1 at 600fps. One shot is at 1,200fps near the end.
Out of all the things blowing up in slow motion, this is the least impressive.

I think that sense of fun is awesome and can’t be faked… It comes from a deeper place of being passionate about what you’re doing. When you do have that, remember that people want to see it. I know I do, partly because it’s contagious!:)

It felt like a commercial to me. Maybe for car insurance, or child therapy.

Reminds me of more than one low-budget 1970's sci-fi television series. Ah, the memories...

I noticed that the yellow Volkswagen, though tossed, appeared otherwise undamaged. That's solid German engineering for ya!
