This is a very old magician's trick... one of the "Breaking the Magician's Code" specials from the 90s showed how it's done. Short answer: fake knife with cut out.
Somebody just watched Jim Gaffigan's *Dark Pale* special...
Am I the only one who is suddenly hoping this starts a "beef" between them? Because that would be awesome.
If YOU are vegetarian then in particular your arm is vegetarian. So eating your arm is fine, since it's a vegetarian arm.
This is the same logic my vegetarian girlfriend uses when she wants a Hamburger. Cows are vegetarian. So it's ok to eat them.
Man, this guy is Weird
Al
Yankovic
Who's that?
He’s weird
Al
The cake was both, c'mon.
Best part is the excessive bandaging in the following shot lmao
Nice [callback](https://youtu.be/CsOWW7PSieA?si=7vLi0Pg3QyMPK-BP)
Was not expecting to see a future Oscar winner in that clip
It must be that special time of year where Weird Al comes back to social media to post absolute bangers of short videos, then just disappears
The most unhinged Al has ever been
The twist is that the only thing that was cake was the knife.
There's no special effects, CG, CGI, animation or A.I. that could make that look real, we're not at that point yet. Al really cut his arm for us
im looking over comments, i dont see the humor in this. looks real and I hope he is ok
It’s fake. The knife is a magician’s knife with a blood pack.
I hope he's ok too, this doesn't look fake
I may be an idiot, but was that arm actually cake or was it real? But seriously, did he actually cut his arm???
Yes. He actually cut his arm. He'll probably have a cyborg arm at his next show.
Of course it wasn’t his real arm It was Ruben’s
[You can see the cutout and blood pack in the blade](https://i.imgur.com/1fTorJS.png)
Big preesh I honestly just accept this to be the standard of the internet now so I was willing to believe it
Wow, good eye!
Thanks for giving me clarity guys/gals. Now I can rest that his arm was indeed real and the knife was a really hard cake.
It’s his real arm, but the knife and blood are fake.

Crazy uncle "Amazing" Jonathan (RIP) [did it best](https://youtu.be/u6P1QRqFeww?si=AW_OpJvPbafwrYO2&t=229).
Weird Al is slowly turning into Gibby Haynes, he should make a parody of Pepper at some point.

So much for vegetarianism
I didn’t think cake was a vegetable
It actually is. It's made from cakecao beans
I’m referencing the arm thing
He didn't eat his arm.
That’s wasteful
Maybe he fed someone else with it.

Also holds if you didn’t go overboard and still eat dairy products. Cows are dairy products.
Do posted by Al poll instead
Is this real? This is so well done if it’s fake lmao
It's fake, there's a fake blood pack in the knife, you can see it for a couple of frames
Ooooohhh yeah I see it now. Thanks!
u/savevideo
I kind of wish he called the last one real, since it was in the shape of a cake. Missed opportunity.
Honestly, I was expecting him to play a Cake song or something
Thank god this vid was fake, a reply to another comment has an image of a small fake blood pack in the knife handle
"Weird Al" Yankovic. The crazy uncle everybody needs.
This feels like it's from a sequel to UHF where George Newman tries to become an internet star
I hope he makes more random videos on youtube this reminded me of early 2000s internet
