Surviving Edged Weapons perfectly utilizes Hitchcock's thoughts on suspense. You know someone has an edged weapon. You know someone is going to get stabbed. The characters don't.

"Wheel of the Worst #16" belongs in the National Film Registry.

Oh, you want to see my ID, officer? It's in my hat, hold on.

Part of me believes that Top Slots was made solely so that Jimmy “The Scot” could write off his gambling losses as business expenses on his taxes

The best part about surviving edged weapons winning over Top Slots is that Jimmy "the Scot" loses once again.

"Drop da knife!" "I don wannu! It's a nice knife!"

Sometimes I fall asleep watching RedLetterMedia only to wake up to Rich Evans laughing and thinking I´m being attacked by an Emu.

a BLUE coca-cola hat with razorblades is an incredibly cursed artifact

"THAT LITTLE GIRL MIGHT HAVE A KNIFE! " Several I think. A starter knife, main course knife, maybe a butter knife. And she knows what order to use them in!

This episode in particular has endless rewatchability.

That tossed beer bottle left a nasty dent in the metal garage door that wasn't there before. If you check later episodes, it's still there. Continuity!

This is, in my opinion, the best episode of Wheel of the Worst. The police training video, the worst gambler in the world and the rap about place settings make this gold-tier.

Surviving Edged Weapons isn't the Citizen Kane of instruction videos, no. Citizen Kane is the Surviving Edged Weapons of movies.

I see Mike's given up on all pretence and just started drinking anti-freeze.

During the Manner's Who Needs Them segment played at the start where the pharaoh requests to know how grapes are properly eaten the child pulls out a scroll to check, the back of that scroll prominently features the words 'Ptah hotep'. Ptahhotep is an historical figure, he was a vizier in the 24th century BC serving the pharaoh Djedkare Isesi. He is noted for writing 'The Maxims of Ptahhotep' a list of general rules of conduct such as Speak only when you have something worth saying. If you spend all your time lusting after women you'll get nowhere. Don't gossip, people won't respect you and you'll wind up spreading untruths. Just because you've been taught does not mean you cannot learn from the untaught. Stay on the good side of the gods for they can make or break you. (And obviously eat grapes with your hands) Just a small thing, but a really weird piece of history to see in something like that.

The fact that there is a line in the wrap about "cut, cut, cut, with the knife" and the credits wasn't a montage of stabbings to the rap is one of the greatest blunders of all time.

My Dad's a cop and he's seen Edged Weapons! Says it's hidden away in the station's video library and is a legitimate training film. His eyes seriously lit up when I mentioned it.

Fun fact: Rich is actually a skinny girl, and it's mostly just layers upon layers of knives under that PacMan shirt.

Fun fact Dan Inosanto one of Bruce Lee’s last living students and father of Diana Lee Inosanto who plays The Magistrate and fights Ashoka Tano in the Mandolorian is one of the technical advisors of Surviving Edged Weapons

“There’s nothing, nothing nothing!” Funniest line ever.

1. The officer is bleeding out. 2. There's a man who is a threat, going to grab a knife if the officer doesn't keep him at bay. 3. If he loses consciousness from bloodloss then the man can stab him. 4. The other officers are in a race against the clock to find this downed officer. The suspense has so many moving pieces in that one scene, it's brilliantly layered.

When Mike says: "People who play video games, how can I make real friends," you have to remember that Rich Evans is standing behind the camera with a Pac-Man T-shirt.

31:56 For anyone coming back specifically for Surviving Edged Weapons

51:05 Rich Evans leads a standing ovation to cover up the fact that he’s about to burst into actual emotional tears.

It's crazy how a Milwaukee police training video managed to be one of the best action films ever made

the George Washington rap was so bad it lowered the value of the US dollar.

I know this is six years old but first time for me. I am in tears laughing

“That’s a ceremonial dagger there” still crying laughing.

If rich came to my funeral in that Pac man shirt I would be the happiest dead man alive

I wish Surviving Edged Weapons had a section on how to survive comically oversized styrofoam knives

"Nothing nothing NOTHING" will never not make me lose my shit

The strangest thing to me about this video is still that Josh’s go-to reference for the Packers is Bart Starr. The man last played in 1971.

If they ever do a modern release, they should have Jay's quote on the box. "Surviving Edged Weapons is the Citizen Kane of VHS 90's Instructional video tapes." Perhaps paraphrased as "The Citizen Kane of instructional video tapes." - Some Hack Fraud

Cop and criminal stab 1ft- stabbed in 1 second 15ft-stabbed in 2 seconds 100ft-say Martha really quick and make the criminal feel bad about his mom

To this very day I still say "a tear rolled out of my eye and turned into a bald eagle and flew away" when I see or hear something overly patrioctic. Thank you for the life-long quirk, ass hacks.

But are you familiar with the Mexican Sacatripe, used for gutting sheep... and other warm-blooded animals...

"Let's show these people how to be a winner! ... There's nothing, nothing, nothing." I lost it...

That casino dude and Don Beveridge would get along quite nicely

Holy shit, edged weapons and forklift safety were on the wheel at the same time…what a night it could have been

36:24 “Used for gutting sheep… and *other* warm-blooded animals.” You can practically hear the wink-wink nudge-nudge

"I enjoy Surviving edge weapons far more than justice league" Rich, pacman shirt, evans

Used to work in a knife shop and can confirm the number of novelty knives hidden in things that do not require knives is hilariously high. I used to have a calculator knife exclusively for the purpose of saying I have a calculator knife. Sadly the item itself isn't very good at being either thing.

This video was released 6 years ago today and surviving edged weapons is still the greatest tape they've seen.

Them mocking the Milwaukee accent made me realise that 1., there is such a thing as a Milwaukee accent and 2., that all of RLM already have a pretty thick Milwaukee accent.

I love how wholesome it is when the guy's like "nah I ain't droppin' this knife, it's a Vietnam knife" and the cop is like "alright just place it down gently and it won't get scratched" and he's like "yah ok I can do that". And Miami says Milwaukee doesn't have class! Shows what they know!

I can't believe they didn't include the part in surviving edged weapons where the REAL police officer says completely straight faced "I'm not gonna have my head chopped off by no scumbag in no ghetto"

When Jimmy says "there's nothing, nothing , NOTHIIIING" I lose it every time hahahaa

Jimmy filmed Top Slots because he was immediately inspired after attending Don Beveridge’s Customerization Seminar in the Multi Purpose Room next to the casino.

Predator 2 was made in the wrong place, forget LA. Its should have been set in Milwaukee in 1997.

The cop training video also doubles as a criminal training video.

36:43 This extremely quick shot of Mike reacting in horror to the money clip is underappreciated

I appreciate the raw unfettered power of surviving edge weapons in making it seem like Milwaukee is the most dangerous fucking place on the planet

Manners : The Hands Of Fate

I love how sometimes their debate is actually longer than the tape itself

"Surviving Edged Weapons", or as I like to call it: "Milwaukee Cops vs EVERYTHING Sharp, *EVER"*

Theory about the Coca Cola hat: the producer was watching Goldfinger and wanted to incorporate Oddjob’s razor hat as a weapon and the costume designer did not get the memo.

Slots guy is like a real life Ants in My Eyes Johnson

* Man runs at you with a machete in slow motion, screaming * Narrator nonchalantly states, "This represents imminent danger for sure" This is the greatest thing ever XD

11:23 Literally I am in tears... The inefficiency of the whole stabbing through a glass aperture and then the cop just starts batting the arm... This might be the funniest thing I have dealt with this year.

You gotta give credit and respect to those Milwaukee officers. They have to patrol the mean streets with freaks like Rich Evans out there. God help them if they run into Mike after his third bottle of J&B Scotch.

Mike drinking a pint of absinthe to get by.

Surviving Edged Weapons for widespread international 2018 release please

I've watched this plenty of times but this is the first time I noticed Josh's stellar joke at 42:56, "Dat's a ceremonial dagger dere!" 💀💀

Are we not going to talk about how Josh "The Wizard" is actually wearing what appears to be a silken wizard robe in this episode?

_Holy fuck,_ the laughing fit Rich breaks into at around 53:15 is the most infectious thing in this world. There are tears in my eyes.

I remember watching Surviving Edged Weapons during my firearms training in the security industry. In Australia.

I love how their natural accents start creeping through.

I had the fish that girl was holding in Manners: Who Needs Them His name was Bloop Bloop

This is Director Dennis Anderson's one and only film. He left a violent, succinct, directorial epitaph that will withstand the test of time. Bless you, you magnificent human being.

"He's got a sword!" "You idiots! We've all got swords!"

I like how Mike and Jay throw their arms up like someone scored a touchdown during Surviving Edge Weapons.

@12:20 Manners - Who Needs 'Em? @23:32 The Manners Rap @24:03 Top Slots @31:41 Surviving Edged Weapons!!!!! 🏆 @42:17 Yes!!! @43:16 Rich loves it! @46:47 One less digit @49:05 Psycho @51:02 Standing Ovation

"A tear came out of my eye... and it turned into a bald eagle, and it flew away"

Rich Evans: "This pacman shirt is fucking awesome and you can't handle it." Rich "middle school edge" Evans

Surviving edged weapons is the greatest slasher film of all time.

This is it. The first botw/rlm video I ever saw. Bless the algorithm for showing me but also curse it for making me chase the high of surviving edged weapons

"Having the courage to do that in front of a camera..." High praise indeed, from the man who jerked his red astromech droid for love of Star Wars.

I watched "Surviving Edged Weapons" in a highschool class once, the teacher was a retired cop and took it %100 serious

47:56 Josh lightly slaps the table and one of the bulbs behind him burns out.

Coming back after watching the episode on Abstinence with Athletes, I can safely say that 50% of all cops get wounded from knife attacks, and the other 50% die from knife attacks.

Seriously, you guys need to join with the Edged Weapons folks for "Space Cop 2: Knife Edge"

My favorite WotW episode so far. The end with Rich's laugh killed me. The slots guy just turning it off and having a blank expression on his face killed me. So many parts killed me.

People might disagree with me, but this is the most perfect episode of Best of the Worst

can you imagine if they never landed on surviving edged weapons. what kind of bizarre alternate world would we be in now...

Someone PLEASE animate the part when Mike describes how a bald eagle flew off his tear. It deserves it.

This is crazy, I was the camera man for surviving edged wepons! Never thought I'd see it on best of the worst!

“True evil never dies it is only reborn” So I guess you guys predicted The Rise of Skywalker pretty well

Jay - "I'm never going outside again" Felt that

Never in my life did I think the Shoji segment would be topped on Best of the Worst but it has. This is a great day in American history.

I have to thank you guys for letting me know about Surviving Edged Weapons. I needed to write a final report for my criminology class about violent crimes, and after viewing it I had a lot of more material to work with. Just learned that I got a passing grade on it, so thanks for that.

This and the Rem Lezar episode are pure gold!

its so weird that It Aint Worth It ended up being watched 3 years later, as a black spine.

This might be the drunkest Mike has ever been on camera. This goes above and beyond any fake drunk acting. Glorious.

From now on, my go-to pickup line is gonna be “How ya dooin, who’s yer fayvrit wide receiver?”

This is probably the greatest episode of all of Best of the Worst. Not even just for Surviving Edged Weapons. Every video they watched was a winner.

Once Rich starts laughing it’s over, I’m done. He has the most infectious laugh ever and had me in tears. This is one of the very best and funniest episodes ever.

"I enjoyed Surviving Edged Weapons far more than I enjoyed the fucking Justice League movie."-- Rich Evans, 2017

No need for real friends when I have you all as my friend simulators

42:51 I would give anything to see Jay's face during this laugh

This is the best episode of anything RLM related. “Dont be a drip, wipe your lip.” 😂
