History Trivia / OneThousandWaysToDie

* FollowTheLeader: A similar show called ''Curious and Unusual Deaths'' ran on the Discovery Health channel in 2009 and 2012. There were some key differences: ''Curious'' was an hour-long with only three deaths per episode, each analyzed in scientific detail. Also, the deaths and the circumstances and details surrounding them are more closely based on what actually happened. As such, the victims are portrayed, for the most part, as much less {{Jerkass}}-ish than ''1000 Ways'', just normal but unlucky people. One episode even had a recreation of Brandon Lee's on-set death filming Film/TheCrow.

** The failed pilot "1000 Ways to Lie" only aired once on TV and was lost media at one point but it was found when it was listed as the 13th episode of Season 2 on Amazon and ITunes in 2018 and the segments were posted to Youtube in 2022.

** The failed pilot "1000 Ways to Lie" only aired once on TV and no footage of it has been found since.

** There are 20 segments that never made it to the original seasons, a few examples are Bubbled Out[[note]]two men get their stomachs ruptured after drinking too much cola and swallowing too many Mentos candies[[/note]], Broke Back Cowboy [[note]]a western movie actor falls off his horse down the ravine and dies from breaking his spine and fracturing his skull[[/note]], Safecracked Pitch [[note]]a burglar tries to crack open a safe but ends up falling down the staircase and breaking his ribs which puncture his heart as result[[/note]], Paintful Death [[note]]a painter dies because of the paint stream from the paint gun ripping through the skin on the man's leg and injecting toxic chemicals into his bloodstream which kills him on the spot[[/note]], Laced Up [[note]]A cheating woman ends up [[TiedUpOnThePhone strangled by an old phone cord]] after talking for too long and then accidentally shutting the door on it[[/note]] and Dead Me Stallion [[note]]a woman dies of internal bleeding after attempting to [[{{Squick}} have sex with a horse]][[/note]] but only their foreign dubs can be found online, and it's unclear if the English versions of the aforementioned segments even ''exist''. However, Bubbled Out and S*** Death [[note]]A man who dies of salmonella when a bird poops on his face and it gets in his mouth[[/note]] apparently ''did'' have english versions uploaded to Nicovideo before Viacom took them down.

** The screeching MyBelovedSmother who dies when the refrigerator falls on her in "Smother in Law" also plays the vain stripper with unhumanly-huge GagBoobs who asphyxiates when she accidentally gives herself MarshmallowHell in "Boobie-cide."

** The Peeping Tom landlord who got his skull crushed in while spying on a woman bathing in "Blood Bath & Beyond" and the FatBastard who died of excess MSG from a steady diet of Chinese buffet food in "Death of Sum Young Guy."

* NamesTheSame:
** Deaths #201 (a drunk children's birthday party clown gets trapped in his car by an ever-expanding dinosaur balloon) and #118 (where an energy drink addict dies of caffeine intoxication while confronting her sexist boss for giving her promotion to a man who was more willing to go down on him than she was) are both given the title "Blown Job."
** Two deaths in the show share very similar names: #502, ''Gas-Hole'' (a fugitive tries to drink gasoline as a substitute for booze, vomits into a campfire, and burns himself to death) and #278, ''Gas Holed'' (A proctologist operates on the ass of a stripper who ate a chili dog, her flatulence igniting on his cauterizer and sending a fireball down his windpipe, incinerating his lungs).
** Also: #347, "[=ReTired=]" (where an auto worker is distracted by a pornographic magazine, and is killed by an over-inflated tire, which explodes and lodges a piece of shrapnel in his brain) and #412, "Re-Tired" (a robber is run down by a classic Chevy "driven" by an old man who died behind the wheel during his daily ritual of sitting in the driver's seat and reminiscing about his life).
** Also a case of ''Number's'' the Same, as not one, not two, but ''seven'' deaths share the number 412: "Em-Bear-Assed" (a man on psychotropic mushrooms tries to have sex with a real bear after getting shot down by furries during an outdoor orgy), the aforementioned "Re-Tired", "S**t Canned" (where a jealous man at a wedding who drank a drink spiked with laxatives is killed after rolling down a hill in a trash can, which he used as a toilet in desperation), "Hair Today, Dead Tomorrow" (the nudist artist whose trichophagia [compulsion to consume her own hair] caused a bezoar in her system and killed her via internal bleeding),"Lesboned" (where a seductive real estate agent shows a house to a wealthy lesbian and upon completion of the tour, they have sex on top of a dryer, but their movements sever the dryer's fuel line, filling the room with natural gas that is ignited by the water heater, causing an explosion that kills both woman instantly), "Goon Interrupted" (where a mobster faking insanity attempts to escape from a mental institution by escaping through a laundry chute, but because of the slipperiness of the chute combined with the laundry being thrown on him, he instead falls to his death.), and "Gang Banged" (where a mobster's son attempted to avenge his father's death by killing his murderer inside of a bath house, but instead shoots a steam pipe accidentally after slipping on the wet floor; the steam burns and melts half of his face, killing him instantly).
** A second case of Number's The Same is with #284 ''in back-to-back episodes'': "Hang Dunked" (where an egotistical basketball bully celebrates a dunk by doing a pull-up through the rim, but as he comes down, his necklace gets caught in the net and he hangs himself) and "Mail Order Fried" (where a carnival mailman who reads the letters he delivers so he can insult the carnies gets electrocuted when a carny dunks him in a dunk tank which contains exposed wires for the tank's water heater).
** Additionally, #444 has been used twice as well for "Deadliest Munch" (where a lesbian accidentally burns dinner and tries to calm her lover down by wearing candy lingerie, but when the lover eats the thong, it snaps and chokes the lover to death) and "Jaw Boned" (where a once-promising chemist who has now become a drug addict spends his days cooking meth in his garage while chewing the same wad of gum and dipping it in citric acid to keep it fresh, but one time accidentally dips it in red phosphorus, causing his lower jaw to explode off his skull when he chews the gum).
** In an actual case of two people's names being the same, Barnaby is used twice. Once for the adult baby in Crib Your Enthusiasm, and the other time with the Mad Hatter in Hats All Folks!
** Deaths numbers 606 and 331: Wet Dream. In the case of the former, a man constructs a fish costume out of material from his waterbed, but winds up dying of heatstroke due to the lack of ventilation in the costume. For the latter, a cross-dressing coke user in the '80s drowns after his high heels puncture a hole in the waterbed to which he's handcuffed after a night of making love to two women.
** Bernie is the name of both the Kansas guy who gets blown up by his own firework launcher on the 4th of July, and the slacker who gets sliced in half by a rope in an interrupted joyride.
** Benny is the name of the cruel prankster in "Die-Drant" and the bouncer in "Velvet Dope".

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The series was never released on DVD or made available to buy online for obvious legal reasons. As such your best bet is to check out the few recent reviews uploaded on Spike's website (now redirects to the Paramount Network website) during the show's final run, or the even fewer episodes uploaded unofficially on [=YouTube=] if you want to see any of the series. In general, finding full episodes of the series, especially from the early seasons, can be quite a chore.
** The show eventually found its way onto Creator/PrimeVideo in more or less its entirety. It also runs on Pluto TV's Spike channel, but only the first 38 episodes are aired and then it loops back to the beginning.

* UncreditedRole: Neither of the show's three narrators -- Series creator Thom Beers (who narrated the pilot episodes), Creator/RonPearlman, and "Shotgun" Tom Kelly -- were credited during the series. Many of the on-camera actors also lack credits.
