Kid Gets Tooth Pulled by Dad’s Chevy Camaro !!

A loose baby tooth, a length of string, and a Chevy Camaro’s bumper — this viral home clip turns a classic tooth-pulling tradition into a muscle-car stunt with way more horsepower than the job actually requires. Nearly three million views later, it is a reminder that not every Camaro story involves a barn find or an auction block. Watch to see how fast that tooth actually comes out.

Every family has a version of this story: a wobbly baby tooth, a length of string, and a parent who decides the fastest fix is also the funniest one. What makes this particular clip different is the string’s other end is tied not to a doorknob but to the bumper of a Chevy Camaro, and the eight-year-old on the receiving end is about to find out exactly how much horsepower it takes to solve a problem that technically requires none at all.

A Tradition as Old as the Automobile Itself

The string-and-door trick for pulling a loose tooth is about as old as home dentistry gets, a rite of passage passed down through generations long before anyone had a car in the driveway at all. Swapping the door for an automobile is a more modern twist on the tradition, one that has become its own recognizable subgenre of home video: parents leveraging whatever fast-moving object is available, from four-wheelers to speedboats, purely for the comedic payoff of watching a tooth disappear in a fraction of a second.

Why a Camaro, Specifically

Choosing a Camaro specifically is part of the joke. A muscle car capable of running a quarter mile in the low thirteens is being deployed here to perform a task that a gentle tug from a golf cart could accomplish just as effectively, and that mismatch between the tool and the job is exactly why clips like this travel so well. Nobody needs 300-plus horsepower to remove a baby tooth. That is precisely the point.

The Physics of a Painless(ish) Pull

There is also a real, if slightly exaggerated, dental logic behind the stunt. A quick, sharp pull tends to separate a loose tooth from the gum with less lingering pain than a slow, hesitant tug, since the nerve has less time to register the sensation before it is over. Parents have leaned on that principle for generations with a simple door slam; strapping the string to a car simply multiplies the speed involved, for better comedic effect if not strictly better dental outcomes.

From Home Video to Viral Hit

What started as a home video shot on a phone camera found its way to Jukin Media, a company that licenses and distributes exactly this kind of viral clip across platforms, turning a private family moment into content watched by millions. Nearly three million views on a video this specific and this small in scope says something about how far a genuinely funny, low-stakes home clip can travel once it gets into the right distribution pipeline.

A Reminder That Muscle Cars Live Ordinary Lives Too

It is also a useful reminder for anyone who spends most of their time on this site looking at barn finds, numbers-matching restorations, and six-figure Mecum auction results: muscle cars do not only live in climate-controlled garages and collector trailers. A lot of them spend their actual lives exactly like this Camaro did for one afternoon, parked in a driveway, doing an ordinary family errand that happened to involve a V8 and a very brave eight-year-old.

The Business Behind a Backyard Video Going Viral

Jukin Media has built an entire licensing business around clips exactly like this one, aggregating home videos from parents, bystanders, and amateur filmmakers and distributing them across platforms for a cut of the ad revenue. That pipeline is part of why so many of these low-stakes, high-charm stunt videos, car-related or otherwise, reach audiences in the millions despite starting life as nothing more than a single family’s backyard phone recording. A tooth pull with a Camaro is a small moment, but the distribution machine behind it is anything but.

  1. The Chrysler wouldn’t have been able to squeal out of the driveway.

  2. Only things chevy torque could ever pull

  3. Or a Ford ( with an open diff one wheel would start spinning and kick up a small rock that would hit the kid’s tooth and knock it out) Hopefully the right tooth!!!! ;)

  4. GM muscle the best option for a dentist! Lol

  5. Surprised it was able! Must have been really loose

  6. Had a 1973 Z/28 that’d give a 383 Cuda a run for its money back in the 1970’s.

    • Also had a 440 1969 GTX that give a 454 1971 Chevelle a show of its twilights. Bout evens the competition, huh!

  7. Old School Dodge Chargers fan here, DID THE CHEVY HAVE ENOUGH POWER ?

  8. A mopar probably would have stalled

  9. I told my grandson, that when he gets a lose tooth, we’re going to tie it to my bumper, and I’m going to do a burn out
