* ''#497: Ball Sacked'': Coach Shafer was a high school football coach who was nothing but an aggressive jerk to the players. However, his favored player was Randall, their kicker. One day, he bought Randall cleats outfitted with lead toes, and during a drill, Coach Shafer is dazed from a tackle by another player, and Randall unwittingly kicks Coach in the testicles with his lead-toed cleats, obliterating his pelvis and sending bone shards into his kidneys, resulting in death from bleeding out. Coach himself was pretty unsympathetic to the very end, but poor Randall, the one player the grump actually liked, has to forever live with the fact that he unintentionally killed a man, and one who had such faith in him at that.

* ''#645: Amish-Tinguished'': It features Jebediah, an Amish NaiveNewcomer in his [[ComingOfAgeStory Rumspringa]], gets caught in the middle of [[UsefulNotes/AllHallowsEve Halloween]] celebrations, meets a hot girl, and seems to be having a good time... only to get drunk and ''die'' for it [[DiabolusExMachina from something that was completely out of his control]] and from [[BlessedWithSuck being born without an enzyme that processes alcohol, making the chemical act like literal poison when ingested]]. [[TheWoobie Poor dude!]]

* ''#595: Wedding Crasher'': Perry, an angry drunken man, attends his ex-girlfriend Carla's wedding to an older, wealthy man. When SpeakNowOrForeverHoldYourPeace is spoken, he stands up and rants at Carla, stripping down in the process, before turning and running through what he thinks is a door. It's a glass window. What makes this sad? When he dies, Carla breaks into what looks to all the world like genuine tears of anguish. And then ''the priest gives him last rites''. This proves that even disruptive jerkasses like this sometimes have people who care about them.

* ''#299: Fansicle'': A hardcore football fan goes to a football game in freezing weather [[TooDumbToLive dressed in only shorts and body paint]], and succumbs to hypothermia. While he ''was'' a drunken jerkass, and an idiot for not wearing proper winter attire, he didn't seem to be doing anything illegal (unlike Season 1's ''Freeze Died''), and slowly freezing to death seemed pretty harsh.

* ''#680: Pretty Fly for a Dead Guy'': A hardcore insectophobe sets up giant sheets of fly paper around his house in the hopes of killing them all, only to be HoistByHisOwnPetard when he tries to swat a mosquito and gets stuck on the fly paper himself, and dies of starvation and dehydration days later. While he did go overboard with the fly paper, the guy simply had a common fear of bugs, and certainly did not deserve such a horrible fate.

* ''#770: Face Offed:'' A Las Vegas showgirl catches a deadly skin disease after accidentally cutting herself while shaving her legs. While it wasn't wise for her to use the same rusty razor frequently, the narrator made it clear that the woman's job left her little time to shop for new blades. Other than that, she did nothing to deserve such a horrible and grotesque death.

* ''#105: French Fried'': A DirtyOldMan nearing the end of his life dies when the stripper who is doing maid work for him accidentally shorts out the power in the building by using Christmas lights as part of a striptease, causing the man's respirator to stop working and suffocating him.

* ''#147: Splat-Formed'': A coke dealer trips on his own platform shoes and pierces his jugular on a pointy end of his male symbol necklace, causing him to bleed to death. In spite of being a coke dealer and addict (justified in that this death took place in the 1970s), nothing indicated that he was a jerk; he even happily tells someone to enjoy their night.

* ''#331" Wet Dream'': A crossdressing man wakes up the night after a New Years party handcuffed to his water bed, unable to get out as the women he was with the night before just left him there.

The man didn't do much wrong besides get high and convince a couple women to have sex with him, making it hard to say he deserved this fate, and it's hard to watch how panicked and desperate he becomes as he realizes how dire his situation is getting. It even looks like he's crying in fear at one point.
