Nightmare Fuel / Kevin Spencer

Go To

  • In "Invisible Sociopath", Percy sells Kevin out to the Quebec Mafia because he slept with one of the members' wives (and so that he can get a reward for ratting the person out). Kevin fakes suicide and ends up using the ID for Renaldo Sanchez, who was also wanted by the mafia. Kevin doesn't realize this until a member of the mafia asks Kevin if he knows anyone named Renaldo, and Kevin tells the man his name is Renaldo, which leads to him getting beaten senseless and then crushed by a hoist repeatedly. Once he comes to, he tells the mafia that he is not Renaldo, but Kevin Spencer. And because Kevin has a bigger bounty than that of Renaldo, the members of the mafia decide to send him to their boss (but not before he gets crushed by the hoist again).
  • "The Tomb", where Kevin, Percy, and a handicapped man named Vernon have to fight off zombies underground at Kevin's job. At the end, Percy gives Vernon a pat on the back, which pushes Vernon underground into the tomb (a thud is heard when he hits the ground). It ends with Kevin and Percy hightailing it out as an explosion occurs.
  • In "The Cruise", Kevin kills the man that nursed him back to life with a shank of lumber (figuring "that oughta straighten things out"). It ends with Kevin laughing (the first instance where we see his teeth), as the background music changes from tropical to creepy.
    • When Kevin wakes up after falling off the boat, we see the sickly green body of Man#2 floating in the ocean, implying that he died after committing suicide by jumping off the boat.
  • The ending of "The Talented Mr. Spencer", where a man goes to a live stripper tent to be greeted by a non-human stripper that chokes him with her tail, all while the man screams in pain. The horror is slightly mitigated by his response of "Hey, I ain't payin' extra for this."
  • In "Jacked In", Kevin gets stuck inside the VR game by Snakepit Multimedia because Percy used a bottlecap instead of a quarter. Percy is then sent inside the get Kevin out, and the company ends up leaving them in there for days, being more concerned about their image as opposed to saving their customers. In the end, they have Shauna turn off the power to the machines, and she does so by unplugging the machines. They don't die, but are left damaged to the point of needed to be hospitalized.
  • Greg Lawrence in "Merry Christmas, Asshole!" is portrayed as a horrible boss who mistreats his staff (to the point of treating them literally like slaves) and plans to keep them at the studio during Christmas. They then attempt to kill him with booze and drugs, which doesn't work, which is then followed by one crew member suggesting to Greg that he get in insulin shot, which Greg dies from. You can't say that he didn't deserve to die, and Greg reappears alive and well in "Air Show", but his reactions to the insulin, alongside the creepy music, makes this one of the more realistic deaths in the show. To make matters worse, none of the staff members even care that they killed their boss, given how the episode ends with all of them kicking Greg's lifeless body.
    • In fairness to his employees, he literally kills a team of journalists with a car bomb for planning to report on his horrible workplace environment, and is heavily implied, if not outright stated, to have killed his employees in fits of rage before.
  • At the beginning of "Quest", Kevin scares Percy with a naked picture of Anastasia, which scares him to the point where he has a heart attack. It's played for laughs, but Percy is legitimately in pain. To make matters worse, Percy begs for Kevin to get the puke bucket, and Kevin tells his dad that he will only call for help if he remembered or started caring. Percy also doesn't appear in the episode beyond this point, meaning that Kevin left his father to die.
  • Anastasia slowly going insane from Kevin and Percy not picking up the phone in "Demolition Derby", culminating with her wrecking the entire house with a chainsaw. The episode ends with Anastasia chasing Percy around the wreckage with the chainsaw as they both scream, while jaunty music plays.
    Anastasia: GET THE PHONE!
  • In "Homunculus", Kevin gets hit by a lawn dart which goes right through his skull. Not only that, but we're treated to a graphic description of the lawn dart going through his brain, and also a slow-motion replay of the dart going through the bottom of his jaw.
  • The ending of "Runaway". After Percy chews Kevin out for stealing his pack of smokes, all the other prisoners overhear him. One of them (who looks similar to Slappy Bigelow from season 1) tells Percy that he's going to be his bitch. It cuts to black as we hear Percy say "Uh-oh".
  • "Home Improv-ment" ends with Anastasia and Vivica driving a tank and crushing a car that Kevin and Percy are in, with Percy screaming in terror as the episode fades to black.
