Line 4:
When a character subverts [[No One Could Survive That]] by making sure the dead person stays dead. Can be done with [[Instant Death Bullet|bullets]] (sometimes [[More Dakka|lots of bullets]] or [[Depleted Phlebotinum Shells|special types]]), [[Kill It with Fire|fire]], [[Stuff Blowing Up|explosives]], [[Applied Phlebotinum|molecular disintegration]], or [[Lethal Joke Item|a wooden stake]], depending on what's available. Probably the most effective way of dealing with a [[Zombie Apocalypse]], assuming you can disable the victim in the first place and that [[Never Found the Body|you can find the body afterwards]].
One of many calling cards for the [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]. Related to [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]] and [[Rasputinian Death]] (if it's only the subsequent attempts that work). Failure to do this causes a response similar to [[Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him]] (in this case, ''Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him Again?''). See also: [[Double Tap]]
