* BemoaningTheNewBody: Given that transformations are a fairly common occurrence, this happens quite often:
** In "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonITheEnd The End]]," Rimmer is initially quite subdued over being resurrected as a hologram, lamenting the fact that he's now just a computer simulation of who he was in life and due to being made of light, can't do anything for himself.
--->'''Rimmer:''' I still have the same drives, the same feelings, the same emotions... but I can't ''touch'' anything. Never again will I be able to brush a rose against my cheek, cradle a laughing child, or interfere with a woman sexually.
--->'''Lister:''' Rimmer, you never used to do any of those things anyway.
** In "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonIBalanceOfPower Balance Of Power]]," hologram corruption results in Rimmer waking up to find that his arm has been replaced with Olaf Petersen's arm, immediately recognizable by the fact it's hairy and covered in tattoos. He naturally starts complaining about having the arm of "a Danish moron" and proceeds to verbally abuse Holly over it... only for [[TheDogBitesBack Holly to retaliate]] by [[EvilHand having Petersen's arm attack him]].
** Early in "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonIIIBodyswap Bodyswap]]", the crew are forced to temporarily flush out Lister's mind and [[FreakyFridayFlip replace it with that of Executive Officer Carol Brown]] so that they can cancel ''Red Dwarf's'' self-destruct sequence. Brown is immediately confused and upset by the situation, spending the next few seconds demanding to know why she now has male sexual organs.
** "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonVBackToReality Back To Reality]]" features the crew waking up to find that they've been playing a ''Red Dwarf''-themed VR game for the last four years, and their real bodies look significantly different. The Cat is dismayed to find out that he's really a massive dork with a pudding basin haircut and an absolutely gargantuan overbite, especially once his real name turns out to be "Duane Dibbley," to the point that he's left incredulously reciting it over the next few minutes. [[spoiler:In the finale, he's so miserable as his new self that he's willing to commit suicide over it -- though it turns out that the whole thing is a hallucination caused by the Despair Squid, thankfully.]]
** During "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonVIEmohawkPolymorphII Emohawk: Polymorph II]]" the eponymous [[PrimalPolymorphs domesticated shapeshifter]] sneaks aboard Starbug and attacks the Cat, [[EmotionEater eating his coolness.]] As a result, Cat is immediately transformed into Duane Dibbley again, and is once more left reciting "Duane Dibbley?!" in utter horror.
** "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonVIINanarchy Nanarchy]]" ends with Kryten finding the nanobots and getting them to replace Lister's severed arm. Unfortunately, they end up overdoing it by rebuilding his body into a grotesquely musclebound giant with Lister's tiny head perched on top, much to the shock of everyone aboard. Lister takes one look at his new form and starts screaming.
** In "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonVIIIPetePartI Pete Part I]]", upon finding the Time Wand, Kryten's first attempts to test it end up [[FountainofYouth regressing Kochanski and the Cat into 5-year-olds.]] They are immediately shocked and upset, demanding that Kryten turn them back immediately; he does so -- only for his next attempt at playing with time to leave them with [[IWasQuiteAFashionVictim 1970s-style hair and clothes]], much to their horror.

* FastKillingRadiation: The inciting incident which led to Lister being the last person left alive on Red Dwarf was an explosive radioactive leak of Cadmium II which wiped out everybody on board the ship. As seen in "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonIMe2 Me2]]" especially, Rimmer and the others went down very rapidly, with Rimmer only having enough time to say "Gazpacho Soup!" before dying. It also seems to have reduced everyone into neat-looking piles of dust by the time Lister gets out of stasis. Of course, this might be {{Justified}} by the fact that the leak was caused by a fictional isotope of Cadmium. The little piles of dust is due to the main character being in stasis for several million years, rather than the radiation itself.

** One little split in the destiny line created Ace Rimmer. However, it turns out that it's ''not'' getting a break and passing a test that created Ace - it's being held back a year and humiliated that made him finally fight back, which makes ''our'' Rimmer's "it's not my fault, I just had a bad childhood" line technically true.

This led to ''her'' being put in stasis and surviving the accident instead of Lister.
