* '''Exaggerated''': Bob is shot five times from point blank range [[GrenadeLauncher with a grenade launcher]], then stabbed profusely, fed through a large meat grinder, [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill overkilled through]] [[KillItWithFire cremation by flamethrower]], [[FedToPigs]] and [[ToiletHumour the resulting pig crap]] gets repeatedly [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking poked with a spatula]].

** [[DeadpanSnarker Charlie]] [[AsideGlance looks at the camera]] and says, "I'm more amazed by the lack of blood more than the fact that Alice stabbed Bob."
