The picture on Bus Crash is a badly damaged bus. However, the trope isn't about literal bus crashes: the trope is about characters who are Put on a Bus and are later said to have died off-screen. It's not even a visual pun, just an image that's based on the trope title rather than on what it means.

Non-illustrative, motion to pull.

Seconding motion to pull.

What is this "sleep" you speak of?

Thirding. Unlike other visual pun(ish) images, this one can mislead.

The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.

The issue I'm having here is... is this just for characters written out that writers want to kill for the sake of or does it include off-screen deaths? Dropped a Bridge on Him says this includes just off-screen deaths but this page doesn't. Guessing only a lampshade would really work.

The only image I could think of is American Dad's monument to the 2010 bus crash. A throwback to the season before where they killed about a hundred one shot characters in a single actual bus crash. The monument kinda feels like a Lampshade Hanging of this trope.
