'''Basic Trope''': A character is [[DeathIsCheap killed off repeatedly]] for laughs.
* '''Straight''': Bob dies in many episodes and comes back [[UnexplainedRecovery with no explanation.]]
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Bob dies, however, he is seen okay in the very next scene within the same episode.
** Everybody, minor characters included, experiences this.
* '''Downplayed''': Bob always breaks his arms, legs, or even gets crippled for life, [[OnlyAFleshWound yet is as fresh as new the next episode]].
* '''Justified''':
** Bob [[GoodThingYouCanHeal has a very high healing factor.]]
** The show's a comedic GroundhogDayLoop.
** Bob has ResurrectiveImmortality.
** Bob is from a world where medical technology has advanced so much, "death" is just a temporary and minor annoyance.
** Bob has been cloned numerous times. Each time one dies, the next one takes over.
** Similar to the previous example, Bob is a robot, so when his body is destroyed his A.I can just be put into another robot.
* '''Inverted''':
** Bob's always the SoleSurvivor of whatever unfortunate event that the creators throw at him and others, SurvivorGuilt optional.
** Bob is resurrected in every episode but is inexplicably dead again the next time around.
* '''Subverted''':
** The character dies all the time, but then he ends up getting KilledOffForReal... which makes it all the more heartbreaking because the characters and/or audience know that he isn't coming back.
** It's revealed that Bob is actually a bunch of clones, and each "return" was merely a replacement.
* '''Double Subverted''':
** ...and then comes back a few episodes later with no explanation.
** ...However, thanks to the use of BodyBackupDrive, Bob is able to transfer his consciousness and all relevant aspects of his original self to the next clone in line.
* '''Parodied''': Bob dies repeatedly in the same episode, and each time comes back with no explanation.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob dies, then comes back in the next episode. But then he gets KilledOffForReal... only to come back a season later. But then it turns out he’s a ghost. But then he gets revived in another body... and then dies shortly after. He’s back the next day.
* '''Averted''': Either Bob never dies, or Bob is KilledOffForReal.
* '''Enforced''': The executives want a memorable RunningGag and/or hate Bob’s character.
* '''Lampshaded''': "[[BigOMG Oh my God!]] They killed Bob again!" "You bastards!"
* '''Invoked''': Alice feeds Bob a healing potion that means DeathIsCheap for him.
* '''Exploited''': The team decides to make Bob their first line of defense, [[ImmortalLifeIsCheap knowing that if anything happens to him, he'll be back by the next episode.]]
* '''Defied''': Bob refuses to die.
* '''Discussed''': "Bob, how is it that you keep coming back after dying?" "I get better."
* '''Conversed''': "How do those characters always come back fine despite dying more than once?"
* '''Deconstructed''':
** [[CameBackWrong Repeatedly dying does a number on Bob's psyche]], and it doesn't help that no one even remembers that he ever died to begin with.
** Or, he's eventually brought back to life, and everyone laughs it off knowing he'll come back... and then immediately feels worse because no, he definitely isn't.
** In addition to being TheChewToy as well as being [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer hated, mistreated, and/or made fun of by everybody]] [[WithFriendsLikeThese even his own friends]], repeatedly dying just adds to the trauma, so Bob is DrivenToSuicide, but can’t because ''he’ll just be back by the next episode''.
* '''Reconstructed''':
** Bob doesn't remember dying either.
** Bob himself knows he's coming back, and it turns out dying isn't ''that'' unpleasant. So he faces each demise with a wry ThisIsGonnaSuck.
* '''Played For Laughs''': Nobody likes Bob, so [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing they get a good laugh out of watching him die every other day]].
* '''Played For Drama''': The show is a GroundhogDayLoop where Bob's death is the cause of the loops, causing much agony until he finally survives and [[EarnYourHappyEnding earns his happy ending]].
