Line 52:
* A [[Saved by the Bell|SBTB: The College Years]] episode featured the death of a professor followed by the usual wacky humor.
* In ''[[The Vampire Diaries]]'', Elijah knocking off Trevor's head? Harsh, but hilarious. Elijah forcing Slater to stake himself? Awful, but hilarious. Elijah ripping out two people's hearts at THE SAME TIME? Evil, but epic.
* The sudden death (at her desk) of Don's ancient secretary Miss Blankenship on ''[[Mad Men]]'' (in episode 4.09, "The Beautiful Girls") is played for some of the most ridiculous laughs the series has ever seen from start of the subplot (the discovery that she's dead) to the [[Funny Background Event|shunting around of her body in a rolling chair]] to avoid being seen by the clients. The subplot ends, however, on a [[Heartwarming Moments
* ''[[The IT Crowd]]'' has {{spoiler|Denholm Reynholm walk to a high-story window and casually commit suicide when confronted by the authorities for accounting irregularies}} and it's hilarious.
* ''[[Firefly]]'' features the villain of the week, Crow, being kicked into Serenity's engine intake by Mal. It's clearly played for comedy, and it is pretty funny.
