** Slim gets KilledOffForReal in "When I'm Gone", intended to retire the Slim Shady character as Eminem was withdrawing from rapping to focus on production and running his label. Eminem went on to have a CreatorBreakdown, a CreatorRecovery, and hinted in his autobiography ''The Way I Am'' that Slim Shady couldn't really die, as [[EnemyWithin he's just a part of Eminem]] (and yells at him to shut up if he starts crying). Slim returned [[DarkerAndEdgier worse than ever]] in 2009's ''Relapse'', with "My Darling" offering the explanation that Slim's real form is [[EnemyWithout an evil spirit]] (later named "[[EvilSoundsDeep the Monster]]") and therefore he can't be killed.

As the explanation before this implies, there are other forms besides Negative Continuity. Doesn't actually fit Comedic Sociopathy, although it might fit the Laconic description as opposed to the actual trope description.


A subtrope of NegativeContinuity and ComedicSociopathy. A ritualized form of StayingAlive. Could overlap with TheChewToy and CosmicPlaything. Often a by-product of DeathIsCheap. ChronicallyCrashedCar is a variant that refers to vehicles, and ChronicallyKilledActor one that refers to actors whose ''characters'' usually die.

* As he was created by Music/{{Eminem}} in the wake of a failed suicide attempt, Em's Slim Shady character is constantly dying or [[SelfHarm committing suicide]] (sometimes MurderSuicide), but it never sticks. He hangs himself in the first verse and shoots himself in the head at the end of his EstablishingCharacterMoment IAmSong ("My Name Is"), dies from an overdose and digs himself out of his grave in "Role Model", and commits a mass shooting of his audience at the end of the ''Encore'' album before killing himself. Lampshaded in "Cum On Everybody":
-->I tried suicide once and I'll try it again\\
That's why I write songs where I die at the end
