To promote the second season of Ash vs Evil Dead, which makes its debut this Sunday on STARZ, Bruce Campbell appears in a new Funny or Die video — pretending he and his iconic chainsaw-wielding character, Ash Williams, are one in the same — and shows some moments in his day-to-day life in which having a chainsaw for a hand isn’t as badass as it sounds.

When his real hand is being put to good use holding his iced latte, Campbell tries to pay for it by offering the money on the chainsaw’s guide bar. It doesn’t go well for the cashier. Sitting outside, still enjoying his yummy beverage, Campbell chats up a gorgeous woman walking her dog and asks to pet it. I’m sure you can guess what happens next. On a college campus, now with a guitar in his good hand, Campbell slices through the instrument and tries to retrieve a joint from a pothead that heckled him.
