->''"In [[VideoGame/TheEvilWithin Evil Within]], you can get beheaded, and continue to play the game. I mean it's pretty cool that you can get beheaded in the game, and that's usually a death, like it usually kills you. But there are times, when it will not, and you just continue playing the game. It's particulary funny because, if like it starts to happen where you get beheaded again, it doesn't like, kill you like you don't have a head it's like, no, no head, blade can't do that, no head, stay alive."''

->[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_of_Paris Saint Denis]] interrupted [[SplatterHorror the proceedings]], his severed head preaching against the immoral spectacle. [[MonsterClown Guignol]] snatched the head and booted it into the wings, blowing a spectacular, swazzle-assisted raspberry. [[LampshadeHanging What was it about Paris and severed heads?]] From Saint Denis to Dr Guillotin, the city had decapitation on the brain.
->The saint's headless body blundered comically and [[VaudevilleHook was hauled off by a music-hall hook]]. Since the usual neck-yank was out of the question, the hook had to snag him by the midriff.

->''Why'd I have to go and get myself decapitated?\\
[[MajorInjuryUnderreaction This really is a major inconvenience; oh man, I really hate it]]\\
Such a drag now\\
Can't eat, I can't breathe, I can't snore\\
I can't belch or yodel anymore\\
Can't spit or blow my nose or even read Magazine/SportsIllustrated\\
Oh no\\\
Why'd I have to go and get myself all mutilated?\\
I gotta tell ya, life without a head kinda makes me irritated\\
What a bummer\\
Can't blink, I can't cough, I can't sneeze\\
But my neck is enjoyin' a pleasant breeze now\\
Haven't been the same since my head and I were separated''
