** Bob feels suicidal because [[WhoWantsToLiveForever he's immortal]] and can't die.
** Bob kills himself with a papercut.
* '''Zig Zagged''': A character ends his suffering by killing himself, but this brings him to Hell. So he ''resurrects'' himself to end his eternal torment... [[SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum just so he can take down all of existence with him]].
* '''Averted''':
** Bob is depressed, but does not consider killing himself.
** No one is depressed enough to consider suicide.
** Bob ''does'' kill himself, but by accident.

** Someone catches Bob right before he is about to commit suicide, and [[TalkingDownTheSuicidal talks him out of it]].
** ThePowersThatBe turn Bob into an immortal with a powerful HealingFactor the nanosecond before the gun goes off. [[AndIMustScream That may not be as comforting as it sounds for the first half an hour or so]].
* '''Discussed''': "Maybe I only have one option left: suicide."
* '''Conversed''': "So Bob committed suicide? Seriously, someone ought to found the Good Samaritans in that city or something".
* '''Implied''':
** Bob is depressed for several episodes, and then [[FridgeHorror disappears]] [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse with no straightforward explanation]] and is [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome never mentioned again]]. No one seems to notice his absence.
** One day Bob, who's normally a careful driver, dies after driving off a cliff. There's no obvious explanation for it -- the car had not been tampered with and the road wasn't bad at all -- which suggests that he did it on purpose.
** Bob uses [[DeadlyEuphemism an euphemism commonly used to talk about suicide]] (ex. "[[Film/SoylentGreen going home]]") in the middle of a conversation shortly before being PutOnABus. The writers may or may not be trolling the audience, but one of the strongest theories of what will be the way we hear from Bob again is [[BusCrash the confirmation he killed himself off-screen]].
* '''Deconstructed''':
** Characters debate at length whether Bob was too mentally ill to "choose" suicide or if suffering makes suicide noble.
** Bob's suicide is the [[SuicideIsShameful cause of anger and sadness for everyone in society]]; others label him as a coward for giving up on life whereas others consider him selfish for leaving his family, friends, and the rest of society to deal with life's problems.
* '''Reconstructed''':
** A character ends his suffering by killing himself after settling his affairs. The character makes his death seem like an accident so his loved ones would not feel guilty for his suffering (and/or to make sure the insurance policy on him gets paid out).
** But it doesn't help that everyone [[NoSympathy is rather dismissive of Bob's claims of being depressed]], and even his loved ones didn't bother to help him deal with his depression, so Bob made the right choice in escaping from [[HumansAreBastards these humans]].
* '''Played For Laughs''':
** Bob pulls off a FunnyBackgroundEvent by preparing and performing his suicide while Alice tries to tell Charlie that there's still hope for Bob in the world.
** Bob is a villain, and everyone [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing celebrates his death]].
** Bob has ResurrectiveImmortality, and someone paid him five bucks to off himself for their amusement.
** SuicideAsComedy
* '''Played For Drama''': Bob is totally depressed due to how people dismiss his claims of having problems, even by his own loved ones. As he chooses to take his life, this causes others to vehemently point out that Bob has really crossed the DespairEventHorizon.
* '''Played For Horror''': Bob’s corpse after his suicide is [[NightmareFuel very disturbing]].
