Roblox Car Crash Videos
Also known as: BeamNG Roblox
Roblox Car Crash Videos are clips recorded in Roblox car crash simulator games, edited to mimic real-life dashcam footage through degraded video quality, added timestamps, and overlaid audio from actual crash recordings. The trend started on YouTube around March 2018 and exploded on TikTok in mid-2022, with individual videos reaching millions of views. The format draws frequent comparisons to BeamNG.drive, a realistic vehicle destruction simulator, though many Roblox crash edits lean into irony rather than pure realism.

The first Roblox car crash simulator predates the meme trend by four years, launching in May 2014.
@gin.on.gino's single TikTok clip got more views (11 million) than all the early YouTube compilations combined.
