I’m not sure if I’m more disturbed about his actually swallowing knives, or shocked about him passing Any number of knives and living.

*Cummings at the pearly gates* God: “So, how’d you die” Cummings: “I ate 38 knives.” God: “Pffft ,yeah right.” Cummings “I’LL EAT SOME MORE GIVE ME SOME I’LL DO IT RIGHT HERE!”

The impressive part here is that he didnt die from eating knives - he died from eating too many knives. He died from knivabeties

Imagine eating almost 40 knifes throughout your entire life just to die from doctors trying to help you get them out.

This is what happened to that one guy who huggbees convinced to dump all his knive sets.

The ultimate proof that knives are indeed edible if you try hard enough.

When you said he swallowed 6 knives I figured it was gonna end there. Then I remembered the video length. Then he swallowed 14, I figured SURELY he died to that. HOW SOMEONE SWALLOWED 38 KNIVES AND ONLY DIED AT THE END IS A MIRACLE

In defense of those surgeons, if you heard someone had just died from swallowing 38 knives you'd probably also want to see the corpse for yourself

I'm glad to have this educational sequel in the 'Only Stupid People Buy Knife Sets' video series, 'Only Very Very Stupid People EAT Knife Sets'

Fun fact: Every Salad is a Ceasars Salad if you put enough Knives in it

So not only did he have the last name Cummings, he was also a sea-man *_and_* he swallowed stuff, perfection 👌🗿

The main takeaway from this story is that the digestive system is significantly more resilient than previously thought

I like how he just kept saying "Bet" and ate even more each time.

As someone recovering from hemorrhoid surgery, I am now significantly more aware of how much that area hurts, thanks.

This dude is a fucking mutant and his power is an 95% resilience to blades

11:16 fun fact, the most common form of Pica is pregnant women experiencing cravings for dirt. It’s a cross-cultural and international phenomenon to the point that a lot of doctors are just like, “yea, let her eat the dirt. it’ll be fine”

Funny how humans really hate death yet make so much entertainment based on it

You know its deadly serious when Huggbees, the insane mad lad himself, says in description "it made my tummy hurt while writing this script"

There was a weird near-death, about a guy with an unmentionable up his butt he thought was non-metal, stepping into an MRI. He turned into a rail gun and barely survived the incident. He sued the toy company for false advertising.

I actually know a guy from Columbus Ohio, met him in a psychiatric inpatient hospital. He's swallowed 4 steak knives, one half a pair of scissors and 2 razor blades. All of which has to be surgically removed. Idk how he gets them down but he does. His entire torso, from collar to belly button was stapled up last time I saw him. Crazy shit. He seems really normal, socially cued in and all that. But every now and then he gets crazy and swallows knives and shit.

Huggbees casually insulting people who don't watch his channel is just icing on the cake. Edit: Thanks for the likes. First time I had over a thousand. :3

I feel like Huggbees could do an amazing voice over/telling of My Strange Addictions

The man not only beat his previous record on that boat, *_he doubled his total_*

Finally, a good reason to buy a knife set

As Terry Pratchett once said, "Anything is edible. Some things are only edible once."

I can't even swallow tylenol without cutting them in half sometimes and homie swallowed 38 KNIVES handle and all. Why did it take me 28 years to hear about this legend?

If this guy were a D&D character, he'd have a permanent buff that gave him complete immunity to piercing and slashing damage. From ALL weapons, magical or otherwise.

The best part is the fact that he would've probably been fine if he didn't keep eating even more knives each time.

Huggbeds saying "DON'T EAT KNIVES" just makes me wanna eat knives more 🤐

No. Fucking. Way. Wacky and interesting parts of our history is almost all you do now, and I am grateful. Thank you Bees, you really do bring me joy with the history one's!!❤

You know it's a great death story when you think "oh, this is the point where he dies"; but then the story defies expectations and he dies an even more ridiculous way.

The fact that this guy ate 38 knives and somehow managed to survive for as long as he did was seriously impressive, especially since he only did it because people wouldn't believe his feat. I'm just surprised he didn't try to make it an even 40.

You have the energy of a modern-day Max Headroom and I am living for it

Can you categorise knife eating as a weird death? I don't think it is possible. I would categorise the act of knife eating as a pretty obvious death

If anyone ever asks me what the definition of Occam’s razor is, I’m going to share this story, particularly how he was discharged from the hospital because everyone thought he was lying.

When you mentioned the acid pills I hoped so much that that was what ended up killing him, and the knives had very little direct cause on his death

John took proving his hater wrong to a whole new level. If John was alive today he would would rid the world of useless knives sets by swallowing them.

How do you poop out the knives without them cutting up your intestines?

“The bar was set so low that it was a tripping hazard in Hell, yet here you are, limbo dancing with the Devil.”

This guy is an expert in concealed weapons.

Now I want one of those ai videos where it’s celebrities eating but they’re eating through metal cutlery like it’s made of chocolate.

I’ve heard of your appetite causing sharp stomach pains, but this is ridiculous!!

This guy better have reincarnated, watched this video, and be like "38? Psssssshhhhh! I could do more than that!" And set his record again. I actually wonder if anyone has surpassed this guy's record of 38, because ye you can, but you probably won't live in the end for long

The “20” sent me over the edge, the delivery was flawless

Saw a display case full off hundreds of coins and objects with faces that were removed from an inmates intestine. The story was he ate "little people".

Fun fact - the tide pods thing was mostly a myth, the vast majority of ingestion of laundry pods is very young children and old people whos minds are starting to vacate the premesis as it were.

Even weirder than his death is the fact that it took so goddamn long to happen.

I don't care how small the knives are, this is insane

Dude swallowed 38 knives and was fine for years, and then there's me who can't even swallow their antidepressants

I hate it so much. It's impressive that he survived after the first batch. You'd think for sure that'd cut you up inside. Great video dude.

Watching this is 3023. Even 1000 years later. Still great

Damn. Man could have died of old age if he was a Roman emperor. Just imagine the senate whipping out their knives and this black hole of a man just _swallows 23 of them_ like kirby.

"Weird deaths" might as well be my next favorite series after "How it's actually made".

Okay, I truly was expecting him to die on the first knife and then transition to the story of another person who died swallowing knives

The reason this case is so crazy to me is that he didnt even have picah, he just didnt see backing down to a challenge as an option lol

Making sure everyone was looking, John Cummings ate thirty-eight knives. He ate 38 knives. That's almost four tens. And that's fucking amazing.

This episode was an nothing but an endless barrage of “Oh no“s

I cant believe it wasnt even the stabbing that killed him, it was the chemicals. Badass

I would say you could make a knife set with the knives they found in that dude’s gut, but we all know how much Huggbees hates knife sets

I'm glad I saw this just in time to adjust my debut knife swallowing routine

weird deaths is my favorite series by far. it's too dang funny.

Man took more knives than Caesar and lived to talk about it. Respect.

I feel bad. I don't want to speak ill of the dead, so I won't. This is amazing regardless.

Thank you for blessing us with a special episode of the greatest video series in human history.

I once saw a real crazy trick involving razor blades in Thailand. Horrifying.

This was an awesome and highly entertaining episode. Thanks for such great content. Now, pardon me whilst I go watch the Snowflame: The Cocaine-powered Supervillain episode again.

hope you enjoy TOTK, man! Just got it, and it's pretty amazing so far.

i think the best part of this video is that when Huggbees is sitting down we can see him gesture with his hands via the reflection of his shades (particularly 8:27)

Oh hell no, this actually made my insides hurt

This is the real reason people buy those big knife sets. Chef, pairing, bread, "Shit talkers can eat shit" knives

Not a weird death, But if you haven't heard of Michel Lotito, a French entertainer, you should look him up. Why? He ate a plane and other objects. Should also mention although he didn't eat knives. He ate far more metal than Cummings ever did (about 9 tons over the course of 38 years.) I should also mention he had Pica, as you mentioned in this video.

If kamikoto wasn’t a scam they’d be a great sponsor.

So 37 is the limit...

I’m beginning to think that this man just enjoyed eating knives.

this glass weirdly tastes of blood. strange but yummy. i like it

7:33 I would give any amount of money to be able to go back in time and make this my high-school yearbook quote

Knife eaters: for when you run out of cyanide

Tears of the kingdom is really fun, have fun with it, it is the ultimate game of shenanigans. I’d love to see a vid on it if you do some shenanigany enough

I only have nine words to describe this

"The point is..." Instant unskippable ad "DON'T SWALLOW KNIVES"

I heard about this story from an audio book my sister was playing in the car. The book is called “The Mystery of the Exploding Teeth.” If you want a load of great stories, I’d look there.

I think Huggabees was the one who ate the knives and made this video for advice.

Well, at least he was sharp enough to go to the hospital eventually.

This series is giving me “1000 ways to die” vibes and I’m here for it 💀

This video has inspired me! I'm going to go to my kitchen and start munching on some butter knives!

Can you imagine if he went into an MRI machine?

That knife story... holy shit... holy shit... it's like a train wreck. I just can't stop watching/listening.

Lad, ye do well here. I've seen many o' deaths, but hearing these is the best.

Don't eat knives is not a life lesson I thought anyone would have to learn but here we are

I didnt think id ever laugh so hard at a guy saying the number 20.

" he got drunk. and on one of the ships he was working on at the time, " i think we all know where this is going so lets pull out the paper to keep track of the swallowed knives.

“This may as well be the stupidest death” Oh, wait till you read about Bernd Brandes. That is… well, it’s weird.

He's a fucking legend. I wish he would have lived.

We need even more weird deaths 👀

The universe gave this guy so many chances to call it quits and every single time he used it as an opportunity to up the ante

"The first sign of trouble started when he vomited up a handle"

The best part of waking up is Hugbees in your cup.

I dont say this lightly, I have never in my LIFE wanted to experience a piece of media for the first time again. this video was so mesmerizing, I was captivated the entire time. I'm an avid huggbees watcher and it's normal for me to zone out minimum 3 minutes of any video I watch over 8 minutes. I watched this video all the way through and did not look away. the entertainment value is immeasurable :) every emphasis on how many knives were swallowed it felt like my whole world was thrown upside down, purely from the delivery. huggbees, you are a national treasure and you will remain in my memory for as long as I live. maybe I was so captivated because I was high, who knows. the Knife Block video is timeless as well. what is it with knives? John Cummings at a lot of knives.

This is the first video I watch while taking a break from Tears of the Kingdom. And you already got me wanting to go back to it.

See, another reason to not buy knife sets! The less knives you have, the less you'll be tempted to eat them!
