Line 358:
* ''[[The Tudors]]'', the producers seems to take pleasure in showing the all myriad ways that Renaissance England have for torturing and killing people.
* Spike TV's ''[[1000 Ways to Die]]'' is all about this trope. It doesn't shy away from including graphic images of being wrapped in freshly-killed animal skins and left to be pecked to death by vultures, to being asphyxiated by cocoa powder, to jumping from a cliff into a lake and hitting the water at an angle that causes water to rush into the rectum, rupturing the large intestine.
* ''[[Farscape]]'' occasionally utilized its immense prosthetic budget to come up with graphic depictions of these. The one that comes most readily to mind was the rather horrible fate of a childhood friend of Aeryn's, who was going to shoot her while the ship around them was being destroyed...only for a nearby pipe to burst and ''sear the skin off her face'', after which she shambled around for a few seconds before dying.

** Scorpius' [[Extreme Melee Revenge]] against his Scarran "[[Complete Monster|nanny]]," by [[Eye Scream|thrusting both halves of a snapped coolant rod through her eyes]]... and when that [[Made of Iron|fails to kill her]], he resorts to punching her into submission before using [[Hoist by His Own Petard|her own torture-thermostat]] to lower the temperature until she [[Rasputinian Death|succumbs to hypothermia and her own injuries.]]
* ''[[Dead Like Me]]''. The main character dies of being hit in the head with the toilet seat from a deorbiting space station... [[First-Episode Resurrection|in the first episode]].
