7	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation:
8	** Some fans speculate that the narrator of the show [[TheGrimReaper is actually Death himself]].
9	** Some viewers have jokingly suggested that the computer in "Chess Pain" deliberately [[HighVoltageDeath fried]] its opponent so that it wouldn't lose the match.
10	** There are those who believe that the lead guitarist in "Coffin to Death" deliberately killed the narcissistic lead singer, arguing he should have at least been able to feel the pounding from inside the coffin as he rolled around on top of the lid. The guitarist's suicide years later, aside from depression over his failed career, could also have been caused over [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone lingering guilt]] over having killed his bandmate.
11	** Some people think that the bartender from "USSR-Dead" was actually working for a rival mob and was faking being senile in order to take out the gang members.
12	** In "Teller She's Dead", did Sarah and Tracy plan ahead to trip the fire alarm or did Tracy decide to trip it spontaneously? Or did [[BigBadFriend Tracy]] know about the vault fire suppression system and knowingly killed Sarah to keep all the money to herself?
13	** Considering his composed reaction of rambling about science after a man dies in front of him, Roger Franklin in "Dill D'oh" may actually be senile, though whether it was before or after his children declared him senile is unknown.
14	* CrossesTheLineTwice:
15	** Many deaths are so horrific that they're spectacular. Take "Balloon Blowout" AKA "Hi-Jacked Off". A would-be hijacker gets pushed into an air brake hose and inflates like a balloon. Horrific, right? But watching him explode on-screen, his body flying in the air and spilling his guts on the people he tried to steal from? Hilarious.
16	** Sometimes character reactions to the episode's death. Like the HenpeckedHusband watching his nagging wife getting elecrocuted by running over a cord while cutting the grass. He looks at her corpse and says "there's a god" and takes a sip of her drinking glass.
17	** The religious jerks dying from smoke inhalation while their adopted daughter survives and calmly shrugs it off. Granted, she’s an orphan now, but you have to applaud her bravery.
18	* DiagnosedByTheAudience: Considering that we never see them speak and that they are stupid and childish even by the show's standards, the two kitchen aides in "Choke-A-Lot" may actually be mentally disabled, which makes their deaths seem a little more cruel than the show intended.
19	* HarsherInHindsight:
20	** "Bats All Folks" has a tomb raider die from [=SARS=] (Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome) after getting bit by bats while swiping a statue from a Chinese cave weeks earlier. [[UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic Wait...]]
21	** Josiah Black, who played Josh Petersen in "Keester Sunday", died in 2020 from an accidental fall.
22	** The segment "Blades of Gory" becomes this after Adam Johnson's death in a similar fashion.
23	* InformedWrongness: Some deaths lead viewers to wonder what the person did wrong.
24	** "Chess Pain" treats its subject, a Soviet chess grandmaster, as deserving his electrocution. While he comes off as a bit arrogant, he doesn't really do anything wrong, and even his ego isn't unwarranted since he would've ''won'' against the chess-playing computer if he hadn't been electrocuted right as he was about to put it in checkmate.
25	** In "Crib Your Enthusiasm", we're expected to believe the subject was a sick freak who had to die. But he was just a guy who got his kicks from dressing and acting like a baby; the worst thing he did was throw a fake temper tantrum.
26	** "Dead Meat-Eorite" has the narrator mocking the victim as usual, when the worst he was guilty of was being kind of a buzzkill and literally being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
27	%%* JerkassWoobie:
28	%%** The criminal in "Vermin-ated".
29	%%** The grave robber in "Six Feet Plunder".
30	%%** Niccolo in "Gang Banged".
31	* KarmicOverkill: While most of the victims blatantly had it coming, for some segments ("Eye Swallow", "Dead Meat-eorite", "Bush Whacked 3: Waxed Off", "Steward-Death", "Drivers Dead", "Sudden Death", some of the ones under UnintentionallySympathetic and some of the ones listed on the tearjerker page) it can be questioned if the victim(s) really deserved to die.
32	* {{Narm}}: While some of the deaths on this show are [[NightmareFuel genuinely]] [[NauseaFuel disturbing]], some of them are so ridiculous that you can't help but laugh at them.
33	** The acting is also occasionally bad. Like the episode where a guy falls beneath a pavement cleaner, we see his girlfriend trying and failing to look horrified.
34	** The doctor in "Par-gore" looked a little happy when explaining the episode's death.
35	** The germaphobe in "Rubbed Out" yells "Aaaaaah!" ''very'' unconvincingly.
36	** In "Turtle Waxed", upon seeing Mr. Chao get brained by a falling turtle, Mrs. Chao screams like she's in a library.
37	* RealismInducedHorror: While most deaths in the show are caused by the victim's own stupidity, ignorance or both, it cannot be denied that these deaths can happen to ''anyone'', not necessarily the bad guys too. One freak accident or something you clearly weren't prepared for may be enough to do you in, and most of the time there is nothing you can do to avoid it.
38	* RetroactiveRecognition:
39	** You may know Creator/MarishaRay, who plays Tina the gamer girl in "Game Stopped", for her voice acting career, as well as being one of "[[WebVideo/CriticalRole a bunch of nerdy-ass voice actors who play]] ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''."
40	** Right-wing activist Tim Pool cameos as a pedestrian in "Dead Mime".
41	** Creator/JenniferLawrence plays the victim's girlfriend in "Easy Slider".
42	** The guy who played Josh in "Keester Sunday" would go on to play Edgar in Film/{{Jigsaw}}.
43	* SpecialEffectFailure: The show may occasionally have cheap special effects, most likely from a lack of budget.
44	** In "Doggy Style", a dynamite stick explodes with what is clearly a pre-rendered explosion.
45	** In "Waste Dead", the wire lifting one of the actors into the air is clearly visible at one point.
46	* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Creator/RonPerlman getting replaced by "Shotgun" Tom Kelly as the narrator. Considering the show ended not long after, it seems to have been the final nail in the show's coffin (along with the SeasonalRot, taking away the mid-segment interviewees, Unions complaining to Spike TV, and Spike TV messing with the show's timeslot). Perlman was replaced because he had gotten a movie gig, and was unable to be in Burbank for voice recording.
47	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: "Road Killed" features a GranolaGirl running over a raccoon, and attempting mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. She could have easily contracted a deadly infection from the raccoon. Or she could have brought the raccoon back just enough for it to maul her and cause her to bleed to death. But instead, she gets hit by an impaired/distracted driver, who somehow didn't see her in broad daylight, and doesn't even slow down after hitting her.
48	* UnintentionallySympathetic: All but the most depraved of the victims can be this if you are compassionate enough. While they might be an idiot, a criminal, a pervert or a {{Jerkass}}, death, especially a long, painful, terrifying, CruelAndUnusualDeath, often comes off as DisproportionateRetribution. For particular examples:
49	** The graverobber in "Six Feet Plunder" might be, well, [[GraveRobbing robbing a grave]] (and at one point breaks off a finger of the corpse he's stealing from in order to pry off the ring that it was wearing), but the backstory provided by the Narrator turns him into something of a JerkassWoobie. He was passed over for the family fortune in favor of his brother when his parents died, and when the brother died, [[PetHeir he left everything to his dog]]. No reason given as to why he was left with nothing on both counts but the wording making him sound like he was simply TheUnfavourite. Desperate to get some of what should probably be rightfully his, he turns to trying to steal the valuable jewelry that his brother had buried with him, only to be crushed by his brother's headstone as a result of digging too close to it.
50	** Niccolo in "Gang Banged" tries to kill a guy in a sauna and ends up dying when he slips, shoots a pipe instead, and gets blasted in the face with steam. The problem? The guy he was trying to shoot, Silvio, killed Niccolo's father over a business rivalry and he wanted to avenge his father's death. It is never said whether or not Silvio faced prison time for the murder, but it's implied he didn't, so Niccolo ends up coming off as more sympathetic than the man he was trying to kill.
51	** Barnaby from "Crib Your Enthusiasm". From the way the narrator relentlessly mocks and disparages him, it's clear the viewer is meant to think very lowly of him and take satisfaction in his death. But really, he does absolutely nothing wrong outside of having an unconventional kink that he acts out with another consenting adult.
52	** Ralph from "Shoots and Ladders". While he does do something bad enough to warrant death, shooting his neighbor's dog, the only reason he did so was because it was incessantly barking all throughout the day, and the dog's owner refused to quiet the dog down when he tried the diplomatic approach of asking. Yet despite this, he is treated as though he is the sole party in the wrong and called a loser by the narrator when all he really wanted was peace in his own home. While shooting the dog was very wrong, it's just as much the owner's fault as it is his.
53	** "Screwged" opens with narrating how Bob is a lonely widower who is all alone on Christmas, sadly looking at photo albums in the dark. A psychotherapist even discusses how emotionally burdensome it can be to have no friends or family to celebrate the holidays with. We're clearly supposed to believe that Bob had his death at the hands of a freak hailstorm coming because he hated Christmas, but really, who can blame him for being bitter? And the worst he does is chuck some rotten fruit at some carolers. Not nice, but certainly not worthy of death.
54	* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic:
55	** The driver in "OMG! SUV! R.I.P." is depicted as another potential victim of the con artist who dies in the segment. While it's true that he deliberately walked into the path of her car so he could get money, sympathy for the driver is undermined by the fact that she was talking on her cell phone while driving, which is a very reckless and dangerous thing to do. The fact that she accidentally caused his death afterwards makes it even worse.
56	** The dog owner in "Shoots and Ladders" is depicted as the morally righteous person in the story, but the whole thing was a result of her refusal to control her dog's constant barking. When her gruff neighbor asks her to quiet the dog down, she more or less laughs him off and gives the tired 'dogs bark, it's what they do' excuse, clearly not caring to train her animal, and she continues to allow her dog to bark nonstop all throughout the day while the man just wants to enjoy peace and quiet in his own home. It makes the man's decision to shoot the dog come off as every bit as much her fault as it is his.
57	** The mother in "Waste Dead" is portrayed as a reasonable figure trying to take back the playground for the kids. While the dwarf and his girlfriend were doing a really stupid fad, she really had no right to try and chase them away, especially since they weren't doing anything illegal and there weren't any kids around who wanted to play.
