== [[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}|Original series]] ==
* ''[[CSI]]'', original flavor, [[Gory Discretion Shot|doesn't shy away]] from gruesome cadavers or their stages of decomposition. However, there are those who take the cake. Liquid Man, {{spoiler|a homeless man stuffed into a duffel bag and killed, turned into so much soup by advanced decomposition and the Nevada heat. The bag ''sloshed'' when moved, and the man's remains weren't so much cleaned off the coroner's table as ''flushed down'' with a hose.}}
** And if that wasn't enough, a later season gave us the Amazing Bloat. You might never look at hot baths the same way.
Line 8:
* Meet Dr Jekyll, your friendly unlicensed surgeon who {{spoiler|orders a sophisticated device for brain surgery custom-made, then drugs the guy who made it, DRILLS HIS HEAD OPEN AND PUTS RADIOACTIVE SEEDS INTO HIS BRAIN, makes a wig out of his hair, puts it back, and leaves without a tip. He also specialises in putting an extra appendix in you while you're deeply asleep, and tying your guts into a bowtie through your bellybutton. }}
** Don't forget {{spoiler|inserting a device into a victim's artery that will cause it to gradually expand (resulting in increasingly excruciating pain) until it ruptures. Oh yeah, the guy he does this to? ''His own father''.}}
* The recent{{when}} episode "19 Down" (aka the episode where {{spoiler|Lawrence Fishbourne debuts}}). Specifically, the freak of the week, who {{spoiler|looked like Noah Bennent/HRG from Heroes as a serial killer. The way he described what he did to his victims in front of a whole class (albeit via a live feed, not in person) must have rather traumatised the students.}}
* Then there's the opening of the same episode, which gives us a nice time-lapse (with cuts) of a body stuffed into a plastic bag bloating, putrefying, and essentially ''melting''.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGpfu4pGXhY&feature=related/ 7:56] of the ''Fur and Loathing'' episode.
Line 19:
* The final part of the sitcom episode. It's all very kooky and staged until {{spoiler|the two murderers implicitly reveal that any one who drank from a bottle of vodka laced with anti-coagulant will die in the same manner as the victims of that episode. Cut to one of the sitcom actors shaving, nicking his throat with the blade which causes blood to ''pour down his neck''.}}
* Season Eleven gives us the debut of Squeegel. Brrrrrrrrrr.
* {{[[media|:fuelriffic_Rylan_Gauss_2_1515.JPGjpg| Rylan Gauss}}]] in "418/427". Incredibly creepy pedophile. No matter how liberal you are, you'll probably be ''glad'' when {{spoiler|he's killed, even though he's not the perp.}}
* Part one and two of "Grave Danger" where {{spoiler|Nick is buried alive in a glass box with only a gun and a tape recorder telling him he's going to die there.}} And then {{spoiler|the air begins to run out and he has to shoot the light with his only bullet to get more time with the fan on.}} And then {{spoiler|some ants start to eat him alive.}} And then {{spoiler|it turns out there are explosives under the box and he must wait to be rescued.}}
** One scene in the second part involves {{spoiler|Nick}} hallucinating that he died within the box, and watches Robbins dissect him laughing all the while. ''And it's all from {{spoiler|Nick's}} point of view''.
 
== [[CSI Miami]] & [[CSI New York]] ==
* ''[[CSI New York]]'' -- people getting gassed to death by exhaust fumes in the back of a cab. Knowing that the Nazis did something very similar before switching to Zyklon B makes it worse.
** Whoever wrote the last part of the episode where it appears that the much-loved Lindsay Monroe is about to suffer the same fate deserves public castigation.
** And so does whoever wrote the secondary plot of the episode "Heroes," wherein Det. Aiden Burn (dismissed early on season 2, after violating the chain of custody of the evidence in a serial rapist case) is brought {{spoiler|[[Back for Thethe Dead]] as a charred corpse, [[Punny Name|of all things]] -- killed by the same rapist she was trying to apprehend.}} The imagery alone is enough to induce more than a few nightmares.
*** Until they reconstructed her face (which is creepy enough), they were treating her exactly the same as any other body, completely unaware of who she was. Hearing them talk about her in such a clinical way just emphasises the horror when they look at the reconstruction and figure out it was her...
** That poor guy whose lower jaw (and most of the face below the eyes for that matter) was blown off by an exploding cigar.
* Two Words: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26wwyrVflwM KING. BABY.]
* The entirety of ''Committed''. Creepiest [[Bottle Episode]] ever.
* The recent episode "Deep Fried and Minty Fresh" features a guy getting killed by having his head [[Deep -Fried Whatever|dunked in a deep-fat fryer]]. Of course, the [[Necro Cam]] shows it happen about three times. One sequence details the hot grease entering his trachea, burning it up and causing him to asphyxiate.
* "Appendicitement". [[Squick|Waugh]]. Killer makes a bunch of people [[I'm a Humanitarian|humanitarians]] without their knowledge.
* One episode of ''CSI: Miami'' had a guy get knocked into a pool, the water of which was replaced some kind of horribly corrosive chemical. We're treated to pretty much a minute straight of the guy thrashing and screaming as the stuff eats away at him, and in the end he looks like one of The Skinless from ''[[Hellraiser (Film)|Hellraiser]]'' (and is still sizzling away when the team arrive).
* Episode 17 of ''[[CSI: NY]]'', season 2. It starts off with a {{spoiler|''half-eaten corpse of a woman, who is still being devoured by beetles to the point she lacks a face.''}} Oh, and we get some very [[Squick|pretty]] close ups of her, and it [[It Got Worse|gets worse.]] We're later shown a montage of her {{spoiler|''[[Body Horror|flesh being washed off]], [[Stripped to Thethe Bone|leaving nothing but a skeleton.]]''}} I think I need a hug.
** It was almost a relief to know that that's what happened to her -- because the episode was entitled "Necrophilia Americana". The title alone gives enough disturbing mental images about [[I Love the Dead|the episode's subject.]]
* In the CSI: Miami episode "Guerillas in the Mist" the bad guy of the week utilizes a powerful machine gun called that ''fucking liquifies its victims'' in ''graphic'' detail. Dear '''LORD''', that's not a mental image I wanted...
* Las Vegas Season 5 Episode 8 "Ch-Ch-Changes"... the discovery of the second body. Full stop.
* "Sqweegel," from Season 11 Episode 4. Essentially an unholy combination of [[The Lord of the Rings|Gollum]] and a contortionist in a Gimp suit... ''uugggghhhh.''
** Yeah, it didn't help that he moved like a lizard and at the end said {{spoiler|I am no one...}}
** Even worse, Sqweegel is a crossover from the CSI creators book series "Level 26," so ''we're never going to get any resolution.''
Line 46:
* "Pirates of the Third Reich", especially the surgically conjoined twins scene. Just...*shudder*.
