Line 201:
** Crispy Critter: Flamethrowers cause the target to burst into flame. Also known as the "Burning Bitch Dance".
** Electrified: Pulse weapons and the alien blaster cause the target to light up in an electric blast and vaporize into thin air. (This usually isn't as good, as it causes lootable items to fall on the ground, so that they must be picked up one by one.)

* Graphical technology not advanced enough? That wasn't enough to stop ''Fallout'''s predecessor! ''[[Wasteland (video game)|Wasteland]]'' featured such lines as "Rabbit is reduced to a thin red paste" and "Thug explodes like a blood sausage".
* ''[[Fallout 3]]'' ups the antes where Bloody Mess will sometimes cause surreal ludicrous gibs. Like firing a 10mm pistol once at a Super Mutant's torso (Super Mutants are big, hulk-like mutants) only to watch his arms, legs and head rip from his body (in slow motion!) from the force of the hit. And that can happen with the weakest gun ''in the game''.
Line 305:
* The most famous scene in [[David Cronenberg]] "[[Body Horror]]? [[Signature Style|Yes Please]]!" [[David Cronenberg|Cronenberg's]] ''[[Scanners]]'' involves two men in an auditorium engaged in a sort of psychic duel: the loser's head explodes in a torrent of blood and pulpy meat.
* Weapons used in ''[[Men in Black (film)|Men in Black]]'' actually go so far into the ludicrous department it's no longer grotesque. The aliens simply explode into slime, which is less disgusting than gibs and less disturbing than gutted bodies.

* In order to emulate the comic series on which is was based, gibs were used in ''[[Sin City]]'' to the point where simple punches and kicks would result in a big, sloppy gush of blood. It matches the over-the-top nature of the comic series.
* ''[[Tron: Legacy]]'': Sure, it's technically the computerized form of blood, but the majority of program deaths have them dying in a graphic spray of voxels<ref>3D pixels, represented here as little glowing cubes, like safety glass</ref>.
