magicians knife (its fake dw) if you pause at the right time, you can see that the blade moves when he cuts it and there is no cut or puncture, its fake blood because the blade gets longer in the next shot.
The arm is just his arm. The knife is a trick knife. If you look at the knife when he is holding it up, and then again when he is "cutting" his arm, you can easily see they are two different lengths. This is because the knife extends out and has a thin semi-circle portion that goes over the arm. You can actually see it hiding in the hilt while he is holding it up, and then when he lowers it out of view of the camera, you can hear the clock of it extending. Blood almost certainly also came out of the handle. Still very cool. Kind of want one.
As someone with a bad gag reflex, the most disgusting part of this video wasn’t the part with the arm, it was when he bit into the cake with his hair in the way.
I find it cringe. It's like his whole repertoire is just looking psychotically into the camera lens showing the whites of his eyes with raised eyebrows. It's like "awkward humour" that was funny in 2006 in season 1 episode 1 of Tim and Eric or something. It's even a bit soyjack.
For those of you asking, yes, that is his real arm. No, that isn't his real blood - he lost most of it to a vampire a few years back, so he had to fill it with jam.
If any of you are wondering if the arm cutting was real it isn’t because hes using a magician’s knife its a knife where half a circle is cut so the blade goes around the arm saw some of these on amazon
I thought for a moment that you were saying that AI (that's a capital "I" at the end) was responsible for the arm bit, not Al (that's a lowercase "l" at the end).
@@RhumpleOriginal i checked to see if there were any more like that one, but i just remember seeing the mysterious floating orb back when he first posted it. o.o turns out, that was also the last one he posted. i think?
Both are true. He is a master of parody, but his sense of humor can definitely be dark sometimes. I saw a panel with him at a convention and the interviewer was trying to talk up how “positive” all his music was, which he reacted a little strange to since the interviewer had clearly not listened to that many songs if that’s what he thinks. All I could think of was that he clearly never heard “The Night Santa Went Crazy”.

The way his "arm" moves as it's getting cut is so good it's creeping me out.

I still go back and watch Barry and Stuart In C Sharp sometimes just for it lol.
Have you watched "UHF?" It's a classic. The bloody arm reminds me of a scene in there. I won't spoil it in case you haven't seen it 😂
You still can go to certain sites to see stuff. Eventually youlltget numb to it anyway. Like daily tv series.
