A [[Recurring Character]] [[Red Shirt]], as impossible as it sounds. This character is, and sometimes exists only to be, killed off repetitively (sometimes even [[Once Per Episode]]), [[Snap Back|always returning by the next one]], as a [[Running Gag]].
Usually found in shows with [[Negative Continuity]], particularly [[Sadist Show
A subtrope of [[Negative Continuity]] and [[Comedic Sociopathy]]. A ritualized form of [[Staying Alive]]. Could overlap with [[The Chew Toy]] and [[Cosmic Plaything]]. Often a by-product of [[Death Is Cheap]]. [[Chronically Crashed Car]] is a variant that refers to vehicles.

* Louie the Fly, in the Mortein insect spray commercials. For the character's 50th anniversary, Mortein are having a public poll on whether to kill him off permanently.
* There is a character in ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' who gets killed off several times and always looks the same, but never gets lines (or a name).{{verify}}▼

▲* There is a character in ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' who gets killed off several times and always looks the same, but never gets lines (or a name).
* Hyatt of ''[[Excel Saga (manga)|Excel Saga]]''. Often many times an episode.
** The Ropunmatsus too. Those pretty much exist to explode and then be replaced like nothing happened in the next episode.
Line 34 ⟶ 32:
** And not just the anime either. He bites the dust in most of his appearances in ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' as well. Very, VERY rarely is he savable. However, despite being savable in ''[[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Alpha 2]]'', his death is Canon.
* There seems to be a [[Recurring Character]] in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing]]'', who's almost always the Mook leader, that dies all the time during the latter part of the series. On a side note, he may also be the one that ends up shooting Dekim in the head from the sound of his voice but that's probably due to recycling VAs rather then intentionally.
* Leomon from ''[[Digimon]]'' is a special case. Every series but the second and seventh is a hard [[
** ''[[Digimon Adventure]]'': {{spoiler|Leomon eats a blast meant for Mimi, and after helping vanquish the villain, bites it.}}
** ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'': {{spoiler|Leomon becomes Juri's partner, and eventually gets run through and absorbed by Beelzebumon, sending Juri over the [[Despair Event Horizon]] and setting the stage for D-Reaper's use of her.}}
Line 48 ⟶ 46:
** And as of the special, every death is accompanied with "You aren't human!", [[Shout-Out|the Japanese localization of]] ''[[South Park]]'''s "You bastards!"

* ''[[Magic: The Gathering|Magic the Gathering]]'' features a [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=39710 handful] [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=45123 of] [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=43555 cards] whose [[Flavor Text]] references the various deaths of a hapless goblin named Furt.▼

*** More recently, the card [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?printed=false&recentpage=4&multiverseid=205066 Reassembling Skeleton] lampshades a lesser-known rule regarding creature cards; If a non-token creature leaves play for any reason but returns at some point, the game state considers it a different creature. To sum up, same ''card'' does not equal same ''creature''.▼
** [[Chaotic]] has similar flavor text for some cards involving Bodal.▼
▲== [[Comic Books]] ==
* [[Great Lakes Avengers]]
** [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Mr. Immortal]]. His one power is the ability to come back from the dead after a few minutes. Since he has a considerable lack of fighting skills, [[Good Thing You Can Heal|this mostly translates to him frequently dying in a variety of hilariously painful and bizarre ways.]] Death by giant novelty scissors, death by impalement from a remote control, death by alcohol poisoning from a ray that was only supposed to make him drunk...
Line 65 ⟶ 54:
* The [[Red Tornado]] gets blown up so many times it's become a running gag in the ''Justice League'', and also makes its way into ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]''.
* Emperor Palpatine in ''[[Dark Empire]]''. Practically everyone kills him. Mostly Luke and Leia. Han kills him the last time.
* Due to a combination of [[Dead Baby Comedy]] and [[Negative Continuity]], nearly the ''entire cast'' of ''[[Twisted
* It's well known among ''[[Transformers]]'' fans that any character without a toy is a [[Red Shirt]]. The ''[[Transformers Armada]]'' comic series had a recurring [[Red Shirt]] in Dropshot, whose design was taken from a Japanese transforming robot that was not imported during the original series' run.
** The Decepticon Dirge is in any number of unconnected comic series, and meets his doom in nearly every last one, ''and'' blows up ''twice'' in the G1 cartoon. His death count may be higher than Prime. The TF Wiki quotes his [[Badass Boast]], "Death comes to he who crosses me!" and attributes it to "a confused Dirge."
Line 74 ⟶ 63:
* Freddy in ''[[Horndog]]''.
== [[Fan Works]] ==
▲== [[Fanfic]] ==
* In the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' fanfic ''Cid Wars'', [[Those Two Guys|Biggs and Wedge]] are killed every time they show up, amounting to at least a dozen times over the course of the fic.
** A [[Fan Fiction]].Net author by the handle of Carbuncle frequently kills off Aeris in his ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' fanfics, which is followed by exclamations of "Oh my god, they killed Aeris!" "You beasts!" This is an obvious reference to Kenny's deaths on ''[[South Park]]''.
* In Chris McFeely's later ''[[Digimon]]'' fics, the series' running gag of Leomon dying becomes this.
* Kyo Kusanagi died repeatedly in the early chapters of ''[[The King of Fighters]]'' improfanfic ''Reforming Evil Can Be Tricky''. It quickly became a [[Running Gag]].
* Sunsetshine in ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4544277/1/Hidden_Prophices Hidden Prophices]''.
* Dirge in the ''[[Transformers]]'' fic, ''They Just Don't Care Anymore'', dies in almost every chapter, even parodied in the Halloween Special, where he dresses up as Kenny and, predictably, dies.
** He fares no better in canon.
* In the ''[[Ed, Edd 'n'
{{quote|'''Edd''': Oh my goodness, they killed Eddy!
'''Edder''': You bastards.
'''Ed''': I see an obvious crossover here! }}
* Adric in ''[[Doctor Who]]'' fanfic setting ''[[This Time Round]]''.
* In ''[[The Emiya Clan]]'', [[Fate/stay night|Lancer]] gets this shoved upon him at every possible point. It got to the point where {{spoiler|AU!Illya and Zelretch}} were summoning him just to see how many strange and peculiar ways they could make him suffer.
** Also, an army of Lancers makes for a great supply of expendable labor.
== [[Film]] ==
Line 110 ⟶ 97:
* ''[[Loaded Weapon 1]]'' has a character that keeps returning after his death because he thinks it's the sequel already.
* [[The Three Stooges]] die at the end of four of their shorts "Half Shot Shooter", "Three Little Sew and Sews", "You Nazty Spie!", and "I'll Never Heil Again".
* In several of the ''[[James Bond (film)|James Bond]]'' movies, CIA agent Felix Leiter is fed to sharks ("He disagreed with something that ate him") only to go through it again in another movie.
== [[Literature]] ==
* The Cat from ''[[The Looking Glass Wars]]'' dies repeatedly in the series, since he has nine lives.
* In Joel Chandler Harris' original Uncle Remus stories of Brer Rabbit and company, characters sometimes were said to be actually killed by the actions of Brer Rabbit or the others. In the first volume of stories, Brer Possum burns to death during a 'trial by fire' in ''Brer Rabbit Nips the Butter'', Brer Wolf is locked in a chest and scalded to death in ''The Awful Fate of Mr. Wolf'', and Brer Fox is killed by a farmer and decapitated in ''The Sad Fate of Mr. Fox''. But all are back alive again in the second volume, ''Nights With Uncle Remus'' thanks to the [[Negative Continuity]] of the stories. Brer Wolf, in particular, is done in again several times in the second volume, and again back as if nothing happened.
** In fact, Brer Wolf is back in a later story in the first volume, ''How Mr. Rabbit Saved His Meat'', which lampshades this. The little boy to whom Uncle Remus tells the stories to objects when Uncle Remus introduces Brer Wolf, saying that Brer Rabbit scalded the wolf to death. Uncle Remus is forced to admit that yes, that's what happened in the earlier story, and that the story he's telling now might take place before it happened or be about a different Brer Wolf. He doesn't really
* Commissar [[Ciaphas Cain]] ('''HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!''') has been mistakenly reported dead so many times that there is a standing order that he isn't to be taken off the active duty list. Inquisitor Vail notes in the commentary that he is the only officer in the history of the Imperium to remain on the active duty list a hundred and fifty years after being buried with full military honors.
* In David Wong's ''[[John Dies at the End]]'', John dies in chapter six of the book. {{spoiler|He gets better.}}
Line 122 ⟶ 108:
* In the series of ''[[Clue (game)|Clue]]'' books, Mr. Boddy was always "killed" in the final chapter. He would then explain how he survived in the introduction of the next book, usually by some silly, implausible stroke of luck (ie, his murderer accidentally picking up a banana instead of a revolver).
* While only one died, teaching [[Harry Potter (novel)|Defense Against the Dark Arts]] at Hogwarts is not good to anyone's health. No wonder Dumbledore didn't find someone to take the job in the fifth book.
** Well, let's see... One died, one got his memory permanently erased, one quit because of an oncoming scandal due to his Lycanthropy, one got shoved in a trunk/bag of holding for nine months by an impostor, one was run out of the school by essentially an open rebellion of the students and a poltergeist, one was part of a
*** That said, it is implied no one person ever holds the job for two consecutive years. Something always makes them quit. The one who died was said to have taught in prior years before taking a sabbatical to get more experience.
*** [[Word of God]] says he originally taught Muggle Studies.
* Agrajag from ''[[The
* Actually [[Conversational Troping|conversated]] in an ''[[Animorphs]]'' book, where Rachel dreams she killed the [[Trope Namer]].
* Master Pangloss from Voltaire's [[Candide]] dies a few times.
▲== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Dinosaurs]]'' had a [[Show Within a Show]] called Ask Mr. Lizard. The young volunteer, Timmy, would die as a result of the science experiment every episode, prompting Mr. Lizard to spout his much anticipated [[Catch Phrase]], "We're gonna need another Timmy!"
* [[Saturday Night Live|Mr. Bill]] is another early example.
** A recent example on ''SNL'' is Bobby Moynihan's "Ass Dan" character, who has been declared dead in 2009, but has come back (and died again) in 2010 (twice), and 2011.
* Not necessarily a [[Running Gag]] or any sort of comedic effect, but Ensign Kim from ''[[Star Trek:
** Likewise, the Vorta (especially Weyoun) fill this role in ''[[Star Trek:

Line 162 ⟶ 147:
** Neil didn't die when Rik clouted him with that shovel. "Good thing Rik only ''stunned'' me, eh?..."
* Jack Harkness of ''[[Torchwood]]'' and ''[[Doctor Who]]'' gets killed numerous times, but he's immortal, so it doesn't stick.
* Due to the fact that he's literally a crash dummy, Buster from ''[[
* Obligatory Lana Lang from ''[[Smallville]]'' reference. Well first she died in a car crash but then Clark flew around the world to reverse time like in the film and brought Lana back to life, [[Balancing Death's Books|resulting in the death of his father instead.]] Great to have you back, [[Creator's Pet/Live
** Then she apparently died in ''another'' car accident when a bomb went off underneath her truck. Turned out she'd faked her death and was living in Shanghai as a fake blonde. Naturally she came back to Smallville to relive the horror, cry some more, and break a few more hearts before being [[Put on a Bus]] and she hasn't been seen since.
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
Line 174 ⟶ 158:
** Everyone in ''Brewster Rockit'', but especially Winky.
* [[Show Within a Show]] version: In ''[[Pearls Before Swine]]'', Rat's "Angry Bob" stories tend to have the titular character die in all sorts of absurd and gruesomely comic ways, only to be alive at the start of the next story with no explanation (though in a few occasions Rat did write that Bob "undied")
== [[Radio]] ==
Line 181 ⟶ 164:
* The later British radio comedy series ''[[The Burkiss Way]]'' featured the character of Eric Pode of Croydon, most of whose appearances ended with him getting shot by whoever he was talking to, usually the long-suffering Fred Harris. On one single occasion, Pode shot Harris, announcing 'I had to do that, he was getting on me nerves.'
* The early "Guy Noir" sketches on ''[[A Prairie Home Companion]]'' (and its 80s substitute, ''Garrison Keillor's American Radio Company'') were set up in this manner, with the title character and his then-sidekick, Jimmy, repeatedly accidentally killing each other. After the [[Moral Guardians]] protested these violent acts, Jimmy was [[Killed Off for Real]] and "Guy Noir" adapted its current format, with Noir getting by on his wits alone.

=== Tabletop RPG ===
* This is very easy to do in [[Mortasheen]], given how [[Death Is Cheap]] in the setting due to easy cloning.
** This also applies doubly to [[Paranoia (game)|Paranoia]].
▲== [[Video Games]] ==
* Any video game where the player's character can be killed can be this if the player is bad or the game is hard. Some games try to find creative ways of making every death part of the actual plot.
* The Black Baron in ''[[MadWorld]]''. He introduces every death trap-based [[Mini Game]] in the game... and is ''always'' thrown into them by his [[The Speechless|wordless]] [[The Masochism Tango|girlfriend.]] "[[Catch Phrase|Aw, hell naw...]]"
Line 194 ⟶ 183:
* ''[[Silent Hill 2]]'' - {{spoiler|Maria.}}
* Gamon from ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' is a player based version of this. He's the only NPC in all of Orgrimmar that can be attacked, and due to his low level and the fact that he's sitting in an inn (where people usually hearth to after questing), he seems to exist solely to die over and over again. This is somewhat infuriating to low level rogues who need to pickpocket him to complete a class-based quest. He later appeared as a card in the World of Warcraft trading card game with the flavor text "Not again!"
** It appears that in the [http://media.mmo-champion.com/images/news/2010/november/gamon.jpg chaos of Cataclysm], he [[Took a Level
* In ''[[Halo (series)|Halo]]'', due to limits in terms of how many voices and models there could be, there's quite a bit of [[You All Look Familiar]] in the [[Redshirt Army]], who usually do not last long at all in firefights with the Covenant. Ironically, one of said red shirts (the one with the Australian accent) apparently survived to the end of the third game, while many of the main characters died.
* There is a running gag in ''[[Live a Live]]'' where each chapter whenever somebody says Watanabe, a random person will get killed, and usually a son will run in streaming tears dragging them away. {{spoiler|Not played for laughs in Cube's chapter}}.
Line 207 ⟶ 196:
* ''[[Demon's Souls]]'' as a whole makes the player character this Trope; a lower then average player can expect to die at least 100 times. Quite possibly all on the 1st level.

▲* [[Homestar Runner|Teen Girl Squad!]]
* The Spelunker in the ''[[Michael Jackson|Michael Quest]]'' flash series by Sikamako.
* John & Richie animations do this pretty often with [[Author Avatar|John]].
Line 217 ⟶ 205:
* ''Everyone'' on ''[[Happy Tree Friends]]''.
* In ''[[Dinosaur Office]]'', any time the Intern appears, Terry (a tyrannosaurus and their boss) eats him not long afterwards.
== [[Web Comics]] ==
Line 232 ⟶ 219:
* The blond woman in ''[[Dinosaur Comics]]'' gets stomped by T-Rex every single strip, usually without comment.
* In #465 of ''[[Double Fine Action Comics]]'', one of the flies is cut in half by a spear, but is perfectly fine in #673.
* ''[[Homestuck]]'' takes this trope in a slightly more serious and infrequent direction - [[The Hero|John]] has died three times already, twice not counting [[Bad Future
{{quote|Moving seems to have become an annual tradition, just like killing John has.}}
* Yaythunder from [https://web.archive.org/web/20120511195446/http://landslide.zymichost.com/Bad_Drama/ Bad Drama] dies at least once in all six story arcs of the 150-strip comic (twice in the second story arc, though his first death in that arc occurred in a dream world). Yaythunder's deaths appear to be a direct reference to Kenny's deaths on ''South Park'', especially considering the utterance of "Oh my god, they killed Yaythunder!" and "You bastards!" in response to his first death. David, Yaythunder's equivalent in the Bad Drama remake [https://web.archive.org/web/20120511193713/http://landslide.zymichost.com/ Landslide], has not died so far and it is not clear yet if that running gag will still be used.
* ''[[Ctrl+Alt+Del|Ctrl Alt Del]]'''s early strips would feature Ethan getting killed every once in a while by ninjas or arrows fired from off-screen. The other characters don't pay much attention, as if this were absolutely normal, and Ethan (being the main character) is invariably alive and well in the next strip.
* Used in a crossover of game mechanics isn ''[[Level 30 Psychiatry]]''. Take [[Space Quest|Roger Wilco's]] penchant for [[Everything Trying to Kill You|getting killed]], add some [[Super Mario Bros.|1-up mushrooms]] and you've got this trope.

* [[Phelous]] often dies at the end of his reviews.
** This running gag stopped for awhile after doing a Doctor Who parody for an April Fools joke, where he became someone else and then became himself again. He almost never dies by the end of the episode unless he lampshades it.
Line 248 ⟶ 234:
* As a reference to her counterpart [[Final Fantasy|Aerith]]'s death, the character Aeromite from the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' parody ''Kingdom Paf'' gets killed several times in gruesome ways, only to ALWAYS come back alive a few minutes later.

▲* Kenny McCormick from ''[[South Park]]'' is the most well-known example and [[Trope Namer]]. During the first few seasons, Stan and Kyle would always give their trope-naming exchange (seen above), sometimes varying it depending on the situation. There's even a ''pie-chart'' devoted to the causes of each of his deaths at the top of this page! The formula was played with quite a bit over the years to keep it amusing--giving an obvious way he would die and then using something else instead, having him come back as a zombie for a [[Halloween Episode]] and get killed again, having his girlfriend give him CPR, etc. The show creators were aware that this could become an [[Overused Running Gag]] though, and made one [[Very Special Episode]] where Kenny's death [[Killed Off for Real|actually stuck]]. His place in the [[Five-Man Band|Four Man Band]] was later filled by [[Properly Paranoid|Tweek]] or [[Butt Monkey|Butters]], but he then [[Unexplained Recovery|returned with no explanation]] after one season ([[Word of God]] has hinted that it might have had something to do with Jesus dying in the episode he comes back). Now he no longer dies...[[Mauve Shirt|as often]].
** This is [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in a few episodes, particularly in "Cartmanland"
{{quote|"''...and the rest of the money is owed to the family of a boy who died on one of your rides."''
Line 261 ⟶ 246:
** [[Osama Bin Laden]] has been killed twice on the show (maybe three times if the events of his real life death occurred in their universe).
* Virtually every cartoon featuring [[Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner|Wile E. Coyote]]:
** In his pairings with the Road Runner, the most famous example is "To Beep or Not to Beep," where he makes ''six'' attempts to use a catapult to hurl a large boulder on top of the unsuspecting Road Runner. Each attempt fails, often in comically spectacular fashion; the sixth attempt
** In his pairings with [[Bugs Bunny]], the most spectacular deaths come in:
*** "Operation: Rabbit." In the final gag, Bugs uses a tractor to pull a shed (where the Coyote is pouring nitroglycerin into carrots) and unhooks it on some railroad tracks ... just in time for a train to be coming. The train hits the shack, resulting in a huge explosion and sending Coyote high into the air. The dazed Wile E. lives long enough to visit Bugs and admit defeat.
*** "Compressed Hare," where in the final gag, Wile E. builds a 10 '''''billion'''''-volt magnet
** There have been at least two occasions where he's blasted into space and the rocket explodes once turning him into a constellation.
* [[Fun with Acronyms|N.I.G.E.L]] in ''[[Godzilla: The Series]]'' was destroyed or heavily damaged in just about every episode. Of course, being a robot, the crew would often send him into dangerous situations so they wouldn't put themselves at risk.
Line 299 ⟶ 284:
*** Totally Justified. He used a CONTINUE after that one.
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by Wooldoor in "Lost in Parking Space, Part 2": "We can't just keep dying and coming back to life the next episode! IT'S TOTALLY ILLOGICAL!"
*** After which Ling-Ling appears to say he agrees with
* Optimus Prime of ''[[Transformers]]'' is known to die once or twice in almost every continuity he appears in.
** This also happens to Starscream who is immortal in ''[[Transformers Animated]]''.
Line 334 ⟶ 319:
* Elmer Fudd died at least twice. After being buried alive in "The Old Grey Hare", Bugs hands him a huge stick of dynamite and the explosion rocks the title card. In "Back Alley Oproar" he is fed up with Sylvester's singing so he plants a bunch of dynamite around the fence; it explodes as he lights it, killing both of them. He's seen as an angel on a cloud surrounded by Sylvester's past lives. This last one may or may not count but in the ending of "Hare Do" he is eaten by a lion but he's still alive before the [[Iris Out]].
* Zorak from ''[[The Brak Show]]'' died at the end of a lot of episodes, most commonly being shot or blown up.
* Several characters such as Grim, Billy, Irwin, and General Skarr from ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy
** Granted, they have [[The Grim Reaper]] under their control. They could easily reverse death with him.
* Everyone in ''[[Action League NOW]]''; every episode usually involves heavy objects falling on the characters, getting dismembered, run over by cars...and more!
Line 340 ⟶ 325:
* Rigby from ''[[Regular Show]]'' has died or almost died on multiple occasions, often getting better through supernatural means.
