Featuring a cast of dummies. this CGI animation short was created as part of the Crash Dummies toy series, itself based on a popular campaign of Public Service Announcements.

Tropes used in The Incredible Crash Dummies include:

• All CGI Cartoon -notable for being one of the first of its kind.
• Bad Boss: Junkman regularly and without hesitation slaps around anyone he works with. Even his cat.
• Batman Gambit: Doctor Zub transfers the Torso 9000 blueprints into his own head, and then replaces the data on the disc with a beacon program. He proceeds to place the disc in an obvious place so the Junkbots would steal it.
• Cats Are Mean: Junkman's Hubcat
• Chaotic Evil: Junkman, the guy wants to destroy safety
• Efficient Displacement
• Evil Is Dumb: Junkman's henchmen -Piston Head, Jack Hammer and Sideswipe.
• Evil Laugh: Junkmans got this down pat,verging on Large Ham territory.
• Good Is Dumb: Slick and Spin, but also most of the dummies
• Incredibly Lame Pun: The short is made of these.
• Losing Your Head: One character spends most of the short as just a head. Oddly Junkman seems dependent on his torso unit for power.
• Mad Scientist: Well, mad roboticist.
• Name's the Same: Sideswipe shares his name with a Transformer (several, actually).
• Needs More Love: Originally meant to be a pilot episode
• Pulling Themselves Together: The dummies.

• Swiss Cheese Security: Despite numerous security doors an almost blind janitor can wander in and there are open windows.
