What's the objective here?

I think they're either trying to drown it, or use it as an anchor.

For the tire? Mayhem.

The tyre was from the torpedo unit, captured by the crew before it could hit the ship, they tied it up and now it's fighting back to escape.

A damper? The boat appears to be rocking heavily at the start of the video and a lot less by the end.

Definitely looks like an antipendulum device

I can't fathom what they think they're going to achieve standing so close to the enormous tire anchor.

The enemy is laughing at us.

It's said that when you're out on the water, late at night, when the moon is out, you can still see the boat with its swinging tire.

Bro, you gotta drop that mean thing when it swings out.

The pendulum of doom.

That’s not how it’s done, guys… there should be at least one line downwards to avoid that pendulum effect.

I think they ate making a swing.

The cruel torture.

Instead of rolling the plank they threaten to cut the rope while it swings overboard

They will make it talk! They will make it sing!

That's the purpose of the great swing!

Around the 8 second mark, the left-most guy wearing a yellow hardhat looks like a lemon with legs.

Why wasn't there a tag line on the tire? Could've used the mooring bit too, its right there.
