View Full Version : Horrible, comedic deaths

Sometimes I like to some old school brainstorming (even with a pen and paper!) so I make my little thought bubbles. What do you think would be the most horrible and comedic death possible for one of your characters.
I was thinking somewhere along the lines of beaten to death with ping-pong balls. :D

Going to the hospital for a bad case of food poisoning, finding out you are going to die, getting a revolver, going up to the roof of the building, about to step off, then you get a call from the hospital, saying, "I am sorry, sir. We mixed your charts up with another patient. You are free to go today.", and slipping on some rocks and falling off the building.
Run-on sentence! *gasp*

Writer_of_Wrongs, that one made me crack up. Nice job.
You're at the zoo, drunk, and you decide to climb up and balance at the top of the fence that separates you from the tiger pit. You throw things at the tigers and yell at them, causing the large, hungry cats to growl threateningly and surround the base of the fence below you. You try to do a tap dance and fail. You fall to your death, and the tigers eat you. The end.

You are Criss Angel. You perform another stupid stunt by chaining your hands behind your back and keeping the key in your mouth. You brag to the people watching around you that you are going into a deep tank of water with chum attached to your legs. You also go on about how there are sharks locked at one end of the tank and you have 1 minute and 30 seconds to free yourself... or the sharks will be released.
As soon as you get in the water... the key drops, sinks to the bottom, and you try not to look scared. 1 minute and 30 seconds go by.
Sharks are released. You grab the key and unlock yourself and reach the top of the water with the sea creatures nipping at the fish guts attached to you. As soon as you get out of the tank, you are rewarded with a standing ovation as you proudly bow with the key sticking out of your mouth.
You slip on the water. Key clings to the back of your throat. You choke and fall back into the tank.
Pick your fate.

Shot in the head by a T-shirt gun.
You're at a comedy gig, right? And the guy on stage is notorious for the savagery with which he deals with hecklers. And that reputation has been confirmed before your very eyes because early on in the set some fella had left his seat right, and the comedian had gone, you know, brilliantly cuttingly : 'Sit down you fat bastard' and stuff along those sorta lines. So, of course, you daren't get up. But you're dying for a piss right? But you daren't get up. And, after a fashion, you know, your bladder sorta explodes and this ain't good and you kinda die from internal complications. Internal complications.
You find yourself falling from the sky, when you spot Superman coming to rescue you. He dives under you and extends his arms.
You are sliced into three equal pieces.

After an extensive investigation, the forensic lab has reached the conclusion that it was all an accident.
The victim entered the building to save his dog from the fire but, the moment he entered the dormitory, a beam fell from the roof, blocking his only exit. The victim lived in the fifth floor so jumping out of the window was too dangerous. Apparently he decided to tie all the clothes he could find, to make a rope and tie it to the bedpost. The process was long and the room was filling of smoke, so he could have been blind from that point on.
He took off his own clothes, probably to use for the improvised rope and to cover his mouth. He must have tried to wet his mouth cloth but a tube of bathroom sealing silicone had exploded over the sink, because of the heat, and while he tried to get the water, he must have glued his own hands to the cloth.
At that point, blinded by the smoke, almost unable to breathe and having lost the use of his hands, but safely tied to the bedpost by his improvised rope, he decided to jump out the window before the flames got to him. The problem was that the window was closed and he had to break it using his elbows and head. The time required to do so was sufficient for the flames to reach him and the pain must've made him jump through the partially broken glass, which unfortunately decapitated him.
And that's the best explanation the chief forensic investigator could give to the firemen for why they found, hanging two meters from the ground, a headless nude man holding with both hands his own burning head.

Winning the lottery after playing for days at the nickel slots, only to win and have the coins fly so hard out of the machine that they hit you in the eye so that you become temporarily blind. Someone then steals your money and in your panic you grab onto anything to try to stop the culprit. Thankfully, you regain your eyesight however die of a terrible sickness (e.coli) because you were stupid enough not to wash your hands.

So you're in the thing with the glass walls and the money flying around everywhere, right? And you have to grab as much money as you can in a short amount of time? Paper cuts. Thousands of money paper cuts (new bills?), and to top it all off, you only grabbed ten lousy bucks, which isn't nearly enough to pay your medical expenses, so you die of irritation. From the thousand paper cuts.

You are in your TEVD (Terra-Exploration-Vehicle-Drive) about to explore a new planet. Your ship descends into the atmosphere and is about to open the hatch. When the hatch opens, a loud explosion of air erupts, followed by the sound of crunching metal and you're unconsious in a matter of seconds.
What happened? The idiot pilot forgot to adjust the air pressure between the planet and the chamber you were in.

Working at a fast food drive-through window you hand over the sixth bag (of seven) to a very impatient and upset customer when suddenly the driver says, "this is BS!", quickly raises his window and slams on the gas no knowing your shirt cuff is caught between the car window and the door frame. Your ragdoll body is whooshed out of the drive up and is dragged along side the minivan when all of a sudden the driver stops, sees your shirt cuff, rolls down the window, glares at your bloody lifeless body and shouts, "you forgot the ketchup, moron!"

Walking down the steet you see the sign "Under New Management, Closed For Renovations" on the front of what appears to be a restaurant. Looking at the address on the slip of paper in your hand you check the address, yes they are the same. "Well, time to go to work."
Trying the front door you find it locked, so slipping around the building you find the back one is indeed open. Going inside you flip the light switch, not knowing one of the gas lines was broken inside the building so, to quick to react to the resulting explosion, everything goes out in a blinding flash of light and searing heat.
You open your eyes and sit up suddenly as the memories of what just happened come slamming home in your mind, only to find yourself not outside of a charred and burning building, but surrounded by a ground fog, and there is a silence in the air you've never experienced before. Getting up you see a set of gates off in the distance, and before long you are gliding effortlessly towards them.
Stopping before the gates you notice a sign has been put up on them:
"Under New Management, Closed For Renovations"

Being crushed to death under a ton of feathers.
So, hypothetically, if one feather weighed about two ounces and there's sixteen ounces in a pound....two-thousand pounds times sixteen, divided by two equals...sixteen-thousand. So sixteen thousand feathers would be pressing down on your chest, slowly crushing you to death. Ugh!

The scientists announce an hour later that their predictions were off: the plague only kills horses.
