Rusty Cage

Rusty Cage (born: ), is an American YouTuber and musician, who lives in Gainesville, Florida.
Originally starting out on YouTube in 2008 with a channel called RustyCage352, he is known for making the Knife Game Song, dubbed the "Internet's Most Dangerous Game" in 2013, after gaining notoriety after being covered by a Norwegian girl by the name of Hanna Ellingseter. Subsequently, he was invited to go to Germany to compete in the game show "Unschlagbar" where he managed to be the fastest knife player and won 50,000 €, or $57,870 USD. For years he continued to make a series of Knife Game Songs, adding up to a total of 34 videos (but no longer desires to make them). Rusty uploads cover songs as well as original music. He also does various series such as "Rusty Rants" and "Rusty Responds." He became even more popular upon releasing "The Cuss Word Song", a spinoff of "How to Lose Subscribers 3".
Rusty Cage has collaborated and been featured with other YouTubers like Mumkey Jones and Nerd City.
He was part of the State Of The YouTube podcast with Mumkey Jones and EmpLemon. His online name is coincidentally shared by a Soundgarden song of the same name, which was later covered by Johnny Cash.

== Guillotine Saga ==
In July 2022, Rusty uploaded a video to YouTube titled 'It's Time to Build a Guillotine' where he stated that he was planning to build a 12ft guillotine on a 10x6x10ft platform in his back garden. He states that the lumber alone will cost him close to $1200, ignoring the cost of the tools, hardware, and (most importantly) the blade. He originally planned to use a street sign for the blade but was informed by his subscribers that this would be a bad idea as the sign would need to be stronger. Rusty starts the building process by digging the holes the support beams will go in for the base. This video features the song 'Get Your Head Chopped Off.'
Rusty uploaded part 2 of the Guillotine Saga in September 2022 with a video titled 'The Most Dangerous Lemonade Stand.' In this video, Rusty talks about how he intended to use repurposed lumber, but it lacked the structural integrity required for the project. Rusty goes into greater depth about his error in assuming that he could use an aluminum street sign and instead requires one made from hardened steel. Rusty finishes building the base in this video and debuts the song 'Kill the Sun.'
Part 3 of the Guillotine is titled 'Am I Edgy?' and was uploaded in December 2022. The video starts with Rusty receiving a carbon steel blade built by Alex Diser. The blade is 24 inches long and 14 inches wide and weighs approximately 35lb (15.8kg). As traditional guillotine blades weigh 80lb, Rusty is required to build a mount that allows extra weight to be added to increase the efficacy of the contraption. Rusty starts to build the body of the guillotine. After a few errors with the mount, he tests the blade on different types of fruit and successfully makes himself a glass of lemonade.
Rusty started a youtube livestream titled 'Rusty Cage's Guillotine Party LIVE' in which he listened to classical music and smoked cigerettes in front of his guillotine. During this live stream he stated multiple times he was only going to cut a watermelon. He then turns the camera and ominously states 'thank you for watching' before the guillotine falls. The sound of dripping is heard and the live stream continued to play before it suddenly ended.
