Filling things with water to the point of explosion is a specialty of YouTube duo The Slow Mo Guys.

In the past it's been giant water balloons, but today it's the turn of popular kids' toy Stretch Armstrong, whose hand gets chopped off by Dan and fixed up to a hose pipe.

Stretch Armstrong doesn't quite make it to giant water balloon size, but he still manages to hold up pretty well before his inevitable demise.
