History Main / HaveaNiceDeath

** There's also a GayOption in [[VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry6ShapeUporSlipOut one game]]. Larry's not dead, but it's still GameOver.

* ''VideoGame/{{Bastion}}'' gave the narrator a large variety of different lines he could use upon your death, and one which he used if you fell off the first stage (which doesn't actually kill you in that game — it causes an instant respawn — but the player might not know that at the time). He would say, "The kid falls to his death... [respawn] ...just kidding."

Not to be confused with the 2022 video game ''VideoGame/HaveANiceDeath''.

* ''VideoGame/{{Pilotwings}}'' had various mocking comments by the trainers if you failed an event, such as "That's a parachute, not scuba gear" (parachute into water). "SPLAT!" (freefall without a parachute). "Be careful, the equipment is expensive" (crash the Rocketbelt).

** The only interesting monster death message is "Player joins the Zombies" [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie (killed by a zombie)]]. The rest are pretty matter-of-fact.

* In the ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'' series, if you fail a song, one thing the announcer will say is "You got ''burned''!" Others include "You need more practice for sure.", "That's not what I wanted to see...", and "Dancing? That was ''dancing''?!"
** He'll also continuously insult (or compliment, if you're doing well) you during the course of the song.
*** The announcer of 1st-5th was especially emotional, from actually lamenting when you broke a 100+ combo, to telling you outright "Your moves are ''lame''!". He even spoke [[GratuitousJapanese Japanese]] in one of his game over quotes: "Ashita ga aru sa!" ("There's always a tomorrow!"), which makes its return (in English this time!) in the DDRMAX series.

* In the multiplayer mode of ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'', whenever a player dies, a humorous message pops up in the chat window that varies depending on the death.
--> [player] tried to swim in lava. (Died inside lava)
--> [player] hit the ground too hard. (Fell to death)
--> [player] experienced kinetic energy. (Plowed into a wall while flying too fast with Elytra wings)

--> [player] fell out of the world.
--> Ouch. That looks like it hurt.

--> [player] got in the way of progress (Died to a ''[=RailCraft=]'' tunnel bore)
--> On sale! [player] [[LudicrousGibs Blood Jelly]] (Died to a ''[=RailCraft=]'' crusher)
--> [player] failed to become [[VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy the guy]] (Died to a creative-tier ''Extra Utilities'' spike)
--> [player] was naughty and [[AntiTrollingFeatures got punished]] by ''Draconic Evolution''![[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers?)]]Attempted to [[RelocatingTheExplosion relocate]] the [[WorldWreckingWave Chaos Crystal]] via another mod's items[[/labelnote]]

[[folder:Web Original]]
* ''Website/GoodbyeStrangers'': Each page of ''Orgone Trail'' is presented as an ending message from an adventure game, most of which are horrible deaths, although a few of them are nonsensical, such as a death from being disapointed.
* ''WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers'' has "101 Ways for Mario to Die (the right way!)".

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* This happened all the time in ''WesternAnimation/CelebrityDeathmatch'', often delivered by [[KentBrockmanNews commentators Johnny Gomez and Nick Diamond]]. (Suffice to say, it was a weird show.)

* In ''VideoGame/SkunnySaveOurPizzas'', if you repeatedly fall into the pits or use a bomb on yourself, the game will ask "Are you suicidal?"

** Heck, even the win quotes from the opponent (or even ''you'', if you were the winner) can be outright brutal to even see, even if it was said in a polite way. Some examples from ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyoTetris2'':

[[folder:Machinima]]

* If you fail a test in the Octo Expansion DLC in ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'', the ink pack attached to you blows up, along with the TEST FAILED message.

* Both ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' and ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' have a cheerful hint corner that you can view after meeting a bad end. "Teach Me Ciel-Sensei" in Tsukihime, with Ciel and Neko-Arc giving advice, and in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' the "Tiger Dojo" with Tiga and Illya giving the advice. They're actually helpful in telling you how you screwed up, but the comedic nature of them can create MoodWhiplash (which the Tiger Dojo, oddly, actually ''warns'' about). Of course, if you pick an obviously wrong choice, you're more likely to get mocked than receive a hint.

* In ''VideoGame/ZeroDivide'' if you quit. You will be relentlessly mocked by the announcer, "I can't believe you're giving up so soon! You're such a baby. Go home to your mama!"

* In ''VideoGame/{{Hades}}'' there are two sources of these. Dying trying to escape the Underworld will return you to the House of Hades, where you're greeted by Hypnos, who may comment on what killed you and offer a helpful tip (generally along the lines of "have you tried not getting hit"). If Zagreus does manage to escape Hades he still dies shortly thereafter, and [[spoiler: after he convinces Persephone to return to the Underworld]] this is accompanied by the narrator explaining how he died. Frequently this is [[UndignifiedDeath something extremely stupid or embarrassing]], such as "tried to pet a snake" or "ran headfirst into a wall painted to look like the exit".

** If the MC has his/her HP completely depleted against their combat duel with Sir Roderick, instead of the usual style of the MC falling to his/her knees, Sir Roderick rubs in a [[BondOneLiner final line of mockery]] to his defeated opponent before finishing him/her off with his Mirabelle blunderbuss rifle.

* In the ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'' LicensedGame, any of the myriad ways to die would produce a game over screen with the question "Start again (y/n)?" Answering positively would yield "From the same point (y/n)?" Agreeing to this would lead to the game starting again ''[[ExactWords from the exact same time you died]]''. [[HilarityEnsues Game over.]] The correct course of action was, of course, to reject starting again from the same point and acknowledging that you wanted to start again "from not quite the same point". The game over screen was accompanied by mocking voiceovers from Creator/EricIdle. "You're dead, and I'm alive!" (It's only a matter of time before that becomes a FunnyAneurysmMoment.)
