‘Chop, Chop, Chop’: Norwegian Teen Revives Terrifying Knife ‘Game’ on YouTube With This Video (Can You Stand to Watch?)

Norwegian Teen Hanna Fylling Ellingseter Revives Knife Game & Song on YouTube

An innocent-looking 16-year-old girl from Norway has resurrected a YouTube craze from 2011 called “the knife game,” inspired by a man who recorded himself stabbing a knife between his digits like a pirate while singing a disturbing song. The goal, it seems, is to get through the song without stabbing yourself.

Smiling and fixing her hair, Hanna Fylling Ellingseter holds up the knife up before beginning to sing:

I’ve got all my fingers, the blades go chop, chop, chop.

And if I miss the space that’s in between my fingers will come off.

And if I hit my fingers, the blood will soon come out.

And all the same I do this game cause that’s what it’s all about.

And chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop I’m picking up the speed.

And if I hit my fingers, then my hand will start to bleed.

Near the end of the song, she speeds up the cadence, putting viewers on the edge of the seats.

Here’s the entire video:

Since being uploaded just two days ago, the video has roughly 321,000 views on YouTube.

It’s also prompted a resurgence in popularity for the original video that Ellingseter gives credit to, Gawker writes, more than doubling its total number of views overnight.

“Given the Internet’s penchant for imitation and one-upmanship, the same will mostly likely be said about America’s emergency rooms before too long,” Gawker concludes.

Moreover, what does it say about the world’s youth when they find excitement playing or watching a game that could land someone in the hospital with a missing finger? Singing about blood and words like “chop, chop, chop”?

Here’s the YouTube video that started the song, which went viral back in 2011:

  It’s insanity at it’s finest is what it is! I can see people doing this that have had one too many to drink or all pilled up. The emergency rooms will be running out of needles and stitching materials!

  @JEDIKNIGHT/ You’re absolutely right about this being in the movie “Aliens” years ago. Nothing to see here…move along, move along.

  They learn English starting at a very young age. The two folks I know from Norway speak English better than I do.

  I knew a girl from Sweden,where english is taught as a second language,and she had a heavy Swedish accent and still used words in the wrong context. I’m impressed she speaks so fluently. She even sounds a little bit ‘country’ when she sings.

This stunt was glorified in the Movie ‘Aliens 341-b’
By the synthetic life form (Bishop) .His ‘SUPER abilities” allowed him
to perform this trick at a incredibly fast speed.

I’m sure there are some parents out there ,that had to break out the band-aids
,because their idiot kid tried to pull off this stunt. Because it looked cool in the movie.

Does anybody notice it says” join the Illuminati” at the end? I don’t care what Beck says, Illuminati is satanic and is the NWO.

  a SIXTEEN YEAR OLD added join the illuminati and you decide
  A) it’s real
  B) it’s satanic
  C) it’s related to this foolishness at all?
  
  OK. I choose to disagree, but you are entitled to your opinion.
  First i saw mumbledepeg (spelling?) was in Aliens. Fascinating. Quite the demonstration of dexterity.
  And yes, with my EDC blade I have on occasion demonstrated… carefully. Anyone serious about it has to recognize the potential for a deep penetrating injury or laceration exists, and should practice for extended periods first with something entirely dull.
  It’s not so different from juggling chainsaws or knives…
  there are lots of dangerous things in the world, and mastering some of those is not a bad growth experience.
  but i’ll agree that having kids promote it to other kids risks lots of problems… none of them related to a 16 year old illuminati master… mistress?

No big deal. Nothing to see. She is not performing tight enough to the web or knuckle. Also, when I do it I use a scalpel. I would show you, but being ultra conservative… I don’t have a video recorder.

Note that only those who successfully complete the song with digits intact post their videos. The others, well…

I think Bishop did it best in Aliens. And Ted did it the worst in Ted.

When will society stop encouraging idiots. These media hounds are not capable of getting attention by doing something of value, so they know they can get it by racing to the bottom of the stupid ladder. There must be thousands out there now trying to think up how to beat this with a more dysfunctional video.

Pfft, I use to do that when I was a pre-teen…but we did not have all of this great wonderful media and youtube to put it out there for everyone’s titillation. But I did not spread my fingers as wide. LOL

Practice makes perfect.

They should both try-out on American idol, I wonder if they can sing without the knives. Now let’s see them do it using their toes.

I find it rediculous For a responsible Media Source to promote this stupid video. It’s the same as showing the ignorance on COPS. Now you send it out for others to copy and continue to pass along.
Very pore Judgment for the blaze to do. YOU are making it a story JUST LIKE THE MAINSTREAM WOULD. Nice work, really instills hope for this Media outlet I AM BUILDING.

  Five finger filet is a mini game in some popular modern video games played by many American children. At least American children seem to have figured out if you lose at five finger filet,you wont be very good at video games with fewer digits. I’m just glad she wasnt playing Russian roulette to the tune “pop goes the weasel”.

Norway. Land of snow and ice. Not much to do there in the winter. Except try to stab your hand with knives. Crazy Norwegians! Must have cabin fever.

  Sure it’s stupid. And I bet you’re Mr. or Ms. Perfect, right? Never done anything dumb in your life, right? I did this when I was younger (trying to copy Bishop from Aliens). She’s younger than I was when I did it. Even if she missed, she’s not going to cut off a finger. She’ll need stitches, but she’s not going to lose a finger.
