Go To

Being an anthology show about people dying in gruesome ways, it's expected some of them die from electrocution, be it by water touching exposed electric wires, or by lightning strikes. Therefore it warrants 1000 Ways to Die a High-Voltage Death subpage.


  • "Weenie Roast": A man relieves himself on an electric fence as part of a dare from his buddies despite their warnings. As a result, the electricity travels through his urine and to his heart, killing him.
  • "Lesbocution": A woman who decides to go lesbian after a string of bad relationships with men steps in a puddle... with bare feet (she had taken off her high heels while walking home)... that has an electric wire touching it.
  • "Oprah Winfried": A death row inmate who has just had his sentence commuted to life without parole tries to fix his TV while watching Oprah. He just so happens to be sitting on his metal toilet when he touches the exposed wire of the TV plug.
  • "Wel-Dead": An adrenaline junkie hooks himself up to a welding machine to get a rush. He cranks it up to its highest point when his girlfriend backs off. No points for guessing what happens to him next.
  • "Deadliest Catch": An easily-agitated electrician fishes while using electric wire. Unfortunately, he touches the metal bottom of the boat and gets fried.
  • "Washed and Fried": Five strippers pose as college cheerleaders doing charity car washes. While washing the van of a perverted widower, none of the women notice that the buffer they're using has a frayed wire that's dangerously close to a puddle. All five of them get shocked and drop dead.
  • "Chess Pain": A Soviet chess master playing against a supercomputer gets electrocuted when he touches a magnetic chess piece (which was on a chessboard that was not well-grounded) with his sweaty hand.
  • "Bitch Zapped": A Henpecked Husband mows the lawn for his harpy of a wife, who keeps accusing him of doing a horrible job. Fed up with the way he's doing it, she shows him the right way, unaware that she pushed the mower on top of the man's arc welder cord and ends up fried. The husband then sips her drink and says, "There is a God!"
  • "Dill D'Oh": A Jerkass nursing home manager goes off on one of the residents, a former science teacher who was wrongfully put in a retirement home at the hands of his greedy children, for making a pickle lamp. One should never grab a pickle lamp when it is lit.
  • "Cruci-Fried": A phony preacher was getting ready for another service to con people out of money. While preparing, he heard a hum from the speakers and cut off the grounding prong from the plug. After stepping into the baptismal pool, he got electrocuted after picking up the ungrounded microphone.
  • "Who Ded?": Two female thieves posing as Hurricane Katrina relief workers in New Orleans get electrocuted by a severed power line under the water while attempting to rob a church.
  • "Heart Beat Down": In 1954, a psychopath is subjected to electro-shock therapy. When he later tries to make a break for it after faking a catatonic state, he suffers arrhythmia in the middle of climbing the boundary fence to freedom, killing him of a heart attack before falling to the ground.
  • "Die-Brator": A Psycho Lesbian Straw Feminist gets a taser that looks like a vibrator (A Pocket Rocket-style one, not one of many that's shaped like a penis or looks like a knock-off of the Hitachi Magic Wand) from her girlfriend. She puts it in and electrocutes herself to death.
  • "Cardiac-A-Breast": An Attention Whore who decided to wear a metal bra to a party gets struck by lightning that was drawn to it.
  • "Hertz So Good": A horny couple decides to make out on top of an old, defective power transformer, but the man meets his demise after his Prince Albert piercing touches the electricity, which travels to his heart and kills him. The woman, on the other hand, survived because she sat on top of it and her feet weren't touching the ground.
  • "Mail Order Fried": A Jerkass mailman who secretly read the mail he delivered moonlighted as a dunk tank target at a local carnival, where he used said mail to mock the throwers with. As expected, they miss the target in fits of embarrassed rage, hitting the water heater instead and exposing its wiring to the water. However, the bastard meets his electrifying demise when a young man named Daniel Phan, whose name was the only thing he knew about the guy, hits the target as he was a baseball player in Japan two years ago.
  • "Heart On": A psychopath learned how to use electricity from a car battery to rig a cow's heart into a sex toy. Aroused, he bought a heart from the local slaughterhouse and took it home, but when it wasn't enough for him, he hooked the heart up to a wall socket. When the bastard tried again, it electrocutes him to death.
