Line 66:
** In [[The Wizard of Oz (Film)|the film version]], [[Judy Garland]]'s shocked expression throughout most of this is priceless.
*** The same thing happens later when she accidentally kills the ''other'' witch, and the guards respond by thanking her.
**** [[Family
** The musical ''[[Wicked (Theatre)|Wicked]]'' ''begins'' by celebration over the death of Wicked Witch of the West. The rest of said musical is a long explanation about why this is wrong: one, she's not '''that''' evil, and two, she's not dead.
* A room full of [[Acceptable Targets|telemarketers]] are reduced to skeletons by a demon in ''[[Good Omens (Literature)|Good Omens]]''. This means that all the people they were due to call didn't get a little angrier, didn't curse them or spread this annoyance onwards. So in balance, these hideous deaths made the world a little better.
Line 90:
* An episode of ''[[The Commish]]'' had two police officers agonizing endlessly over the best way to break a death notice to a man's family, only to find they're overjoyed about his death.
* One episode of ''[[Scrubs]]'' sees Dr Kelso's portrait, hung on a hallway just before he goes on vacation, turned into a memorial to the deceased as a prank by [[Dr. Jerk|Dr. Cox]]. Almost everyone in the hospital walks past it and celebrates, but [[Butt Monkey|Ted the Lawyer]] later comes ''back'' to it to dance in front of it.
* Not a death, but the news of Frank Burns' arrest and subsequent transfer from the 4077th inspires whoops of joy on ''[[

** At least until they discover he's been cleared, promoted, and stationed back in the States.
Line 163:
*** Also, a dwarf will be happy if a dwarf he has a grudge with dies. And of course there is much rejoicing from the player if an annoying noble dies.
** The players themselves are a straight example of the trope. The more bizarre and massively destructive an event gets in their game, the more cheerful and congratulatory the forum responses will be for achieving it. There's a reason the game motto is ''Losing is Fun.''
* In ''[[The Sims]] 2'', mean Sims roll death-related wants for their enemies... such as drinking their life essence after they get eaten by a [[Man
** If your house is robbed, even a child Sim can roll the want "See Burglar's Ghost". So much for the innocence of the young.
** Likewise, in ''[[The Sims]] 3'', Sims with the "evil" trait will laugh at the suffering of others, up to and including their deaths.
Line 179:

* Arisdel in ''[[Dumnestors Heroes]]''. She wasn't killed, but nobody was broken up when she left the game.
* Pretty much anyone in ''[[
* Subverted in [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0246.html this strip] of ''[[Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|Order of the Stick]]''.
** The only subversion is that Miko's still alive. Maybe Elan wouldn't have specifically celebrated, but no one would've been sorry to see her go (she's routinely sent off on missions that keep her out of the country for years at a time, because not even her fellow paladins like her).
