* King Womp's death in the [[Klay World]] movie, where he gets an ax in the back, falls on top of a communication structure, is electrocuted, and explodes.

* The Powerpuff Girls all suffer horrible deaths in the "Powerpuff Assassin" series. Blossom crashes into the ground while flying, is shot by the assassin repeatedly, and finally has her head explode. Bubbles gets abducted, then has her hair shaved off, then is electrocuted after she cries all over herself, and is finally shot down after having her eyes burst out from her socket. As for Buttercup, she gets beaten up, has a stake driven through her heart, and has her head brutally smashed with a hammer.

*''The Last Lamia'' has a resistance group against Avotech captured by Dr. Theodore, who proceeds to cause Lani to be burned alive from the inside out, and then electrocutes her brother Xander to death when his formula fails to have an effect on him.
* It seems to be a point of pride among ''[[Protectors of the Plot Continuum]]'' to do the most unpleasant and [[Karmic Death|appropriate]] things to their victims, though the oldies have recently been insisting that the point of the business is more "have fun writing" than "try to outdo everyone" (and they're right). The Sues still suffer an impressive range of nasty deaths, from being eaten by [[Harry Potter|Flesh-Eating Slugs]] to being given to the [[Discworld]] [[The Fair Folk|elves]].

* Being a site based around the concept of [[Anyone Can Die]], ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'' occasionally falls into this trope when the [[Ax Crazy]] characters get "creative". At times the scenes can turn into [[Narm]] either because it [[You Fail Biology Forever|isn't possible in real life]] or just because it wasn't written well. Other times, though, it ''works''. An example from v4 would be the majority of [[Mad Artist|Sarah Atwell]]'s kills, one of which involves rigging up a death trap where if the poor victim even moves, he gets shot in the head, [[Better to Die Than Be Killed|which he decides not to take part]].
