!The Mighty Death Pop

The upcoming 2nd Joker's Card of the second deck. Its role is to "[[KilledOffForReal pop]]" people who abuse their lives by playing with death and taking stupid risks that could end their life. However, it lacks the ability to actually judge the people it kills, presumedly leaving it up to the Wraith to send them to their afterlife.

!Unnamed Teenager

A 14-year-old kid who got hit by a truck while riding his bike home and was cursed to haunt his neighborhood forever, never moving on.

!!!'''Tropes that apply to the Unnamed Teenager.'''

* AndIMustScream: Well, technically he does scream....a lot. It's just that nobody can hear him doing so.
* [[spoiler:DownerEnding]]: At the end of the song, [[spoiler:nothing is resolved. He's still just as lost as ever, only now he has the added misery of knowing that the people he loved are suffering as a result of his death. Poor kid.]]
* LyricalDissonance: Somewhat. The song's tune isn't exactly upbeat, but it isn't overly heavy and melodramatic, either. This just casts a dark shade of irony over everything when you hear the lyrics. Violent J himself sort of sounds like he's sighing as he sings.
* NoNameGiven: All that we know about him is that he's fourteen, he's dead, and he's very lonely.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Unlike some other ghosts, he is pretty much compltely unable to manipulate anything in the world of the living to make his presence known. Cats seem only vaugely aware of his presence, and some people feel the faintest tinge of his presence, which gives him hope, only for that hope to crumble when they ignore the feeling. The crows seem very interested in him, however.
* PeepingTom: He finds some small comfort in spending several hours watching the neighborhood girls bathing. This quickly loses it's appeal for him, though, like everything else.
* RageAgainstTheHeavens: "What kind of Death would leave me lingering on?/Forever fourteen and forever alone.'
* TearJerker: "I've followed mom, but she's never recovered/I can be with her but we can't be with each other."
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Even though he's not technically "living", it still applies. He's existing eternally, unable to do anything but watch the world go by. He's very lonely, very confused, and understandably heartbroken that he can't pass on no matter how much he wants to.
* TheWoobie: We're never shown any reason why he has to go through this misery, and all the poor kid wants is some answers for why he has to walk around on earth forever. He doesn't even want to move on, he just wants to know why he can't.

He sleeps with Rebecca, Shaggy's girlfriend, even though he probably knows that Shaggy is an AxCrazy manic locked up in an asylum. And finally 3.
