4[[https://www.youtube.com/user/TedCrusty/ TedCrusty]] is a British WebSite/YouTube channel which showcases the many, many deaths of Joe, with the most [[BlatantLies realistic visual effects you can imagine.]]
5
6A typical video involves Ted, an often, though not always, unseen person behind a camera, asking how Joe's most recent task is going. Usually something like mowing the lawn, fixing a drain, or [[TheTriple experimenting with Black Holes]]. Ted then finds Joe, who is actually a shirt and a pair of pants stuffed, killed off in a completely ridiculous way. Ted gasps "Noooo....", and the video ends. There are, of course, variations on this, but Ted, in real life, has said that one of the main points of these videos is to redo the same joke over and over again, and for it to get funnier as you know the punchline coming in advance.

8The channel was started back in 2006, and has become semi-viral, with its videos having received over 115,000,000 views in total. Many of these can be attributed to the eye catching titles, like "Snake eats Kid alive caught on tape", or "Horrific accident, man sucked down drain", only for them to [[BaitAndSwitch actually be]] purposefully cheap videos of a shirt being hit by a ball, or something to that extent.

10After over a year long break of making videos, Ted started uploading videos again in February of 2014.

13!!''[=TedCrusty=]'' provides examples of:
14* BlatantLies: The title of many of his videos. For instance, "Man thrown out Rollercoaster in Horrific Accident" has no roller coaster in it, just Joe being tossed onto the ground.
15* BloodlessCarnage: Joe dies in various gruesome ways, without a drop of blood being spilled. Once averted, and [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]], in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h70TO5rB2VA Zombie Attack Compensation Company]] video, where the blood was made to look as over the top and fake as possible.
16* {{Catchphrase}}: Nnnnoooo...
17* DullSurprise: Ted often expresses a dismayed "no" in the most deadpan manner possible.
18* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Poor Joe gets killed by just about everything he touches.
19* GiantSpider: One of the things Joe has died from is a giant cartoonish arachnid.
20* LittleNo: Most videos end with a deadpan "no!".
21* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Joe is killed off in various unorthodox ways.
22* RunningGag: There are various recurring elements used to humorous effect. The "Nnnnooo...." at the end of many videos, stepladders or various other things being tossed on Joe after he's been killed, gloriously cheap visual effects...
23* SpecialEffectFailure: Ted uses deliberately poor special effects, to make the videos funnier. Taken to an extreme with Ted's return video in 2014, saying that it took over a year to make the effects in the video.
24* StylisticSuck: The humor is largely based on exactly HOW cheap these videos can really be.
