number 10

Trevor Collins newsworthy The Fresh

Prince of bel-air Daddy losing me one of

Hillary’s more prominent boyfriends

Trevor Collins newsworthy worked as a

news anchor taking advantage of his

newsworthy name Trevor was so in love

with the eldest bank’s daughter that he

proposed to her during a new segment on

bungee jumping while Hilary and her

family watched unfortunately he also

tried jumping himself his on-air death

was so abrupt that it was funny when the

family’s varied reactions particularly

Hilary’s initial cluelessness are

fantastic too Trevor had the right idea

about going big but he should’ve made

sure he could go home to number 9

Lois ha the last man on earth a new

character in the show’s third season

Lois ha was a former arborist and an

aspiring pilot a hobby which he takes up

with the hope of being reunited with his

boyfriend Marc who may be overseas after

training for several episodes in a

flight simulator protagonist Phil gives

him with a real plane to take out for

his first real flight although reluctant

Lois ultimately agrees lifting the

group’s spirits however shortly after

takeoff Lois crashes and apparently dies

the build up over the season that

ultimately led to such a fiery and

depressing demise is amusing albeit

rather dark congratulations my friend

number 8 Francis Griffin Family Guy the

vigorously Catholic stepfather of Family

Guy’s main character Peter Griffin

Francis is a very cantankerous character

who’s critical of nearly everyone he

meets while attending his granddaughter

Meg’s birthday party Francis is crushed

by Peter who had dressed as a clown in a

bizarre attempt to entertain

for the party while dying in the

hospital Francis’s last words are to

tell his son that he’s a fat stinking

drunk there are a fat cake a drunk

Peter then buries him in a pet cemetery

only for him to come back as a zombie

prompting him to decide to bury him in a

regular Cemetery any one of these

individual moments is funny but strung

together they’re hilarious

booze made me fall down all Oh stairs

booze killed my father

number seven captain seth dozerman

brooklyn nine-nine hello I’m your new

commanding officer the new captain of

the 99th New York police precinct

captain dozerman is obsessed with

after he passes out due to a heart

condition in an effort to get on his

good side detective Jake Peralta

feigns interest in efficiency he and his

coworker Amy Santiago are also in a

relationship and trying to keep it a

secret

unfortunately dozerman walks in on them

and feels betrayed that jake lied to him

bowing to break them apart whoever he

then has a fortuitous heart attack and

dies it’s an uncomfortable laugh but one

that Bill Hader helps facilitate got my

wife number six Arnold J Rimmer Red

Dwarf the residents stick-in-the-mud on

the show’s titular vessel Arnold Rimmer

has had some bad luck with death he

spends a good chunk of the series as a

hologram after his death which is the

result of his own incompetence however

during an episode with a complicated

time-travel plot Rimmer tries to alter

the past to make himself rich while it

fails to make him any money he does end

up alive once more which he celebrates

enthusiastically a little too much in

fact as he strikes several containers

full of explosives killing him once

again what was he saying

number five Denham rain’ll the IT Crowd

the founder and owner of Reynholm

industries the enormous ly successful

monolithic corporation that employs the

main characters who work in its IT

department Denham ray Nome is a

tremendously arrogant Daffy and

bombastic businessman that pride carries

through to his final scene which

features his employees telling him about

the company’s absurd profits and Denham

boasting about himself in a splendidly

amusing fashion splendid however upon

being informed that the police are

downstairs to talk to him about

anomalies in the company’s pension

account he immediately jumps out the

window in a hilarious contrast to his

number four Frank Grimes The Simpsons

[Music]

hard-working Frank Rimes gets a job at

the Springfield nuclear power plant and

immediately takes a dislike to Homer

Simpson especially is constant

buffoonery and an ability to do his job

as he has exposed more Marta Homer’s

life Grimes becomes outraged and

astonished that Homer is able to coast

through life with such apparent success

while his own life has been so difficult

with little to show for it it eventually

gets to the point where Grimes snaps

emulating homers reckless stupid

behavior in a warped bitter attempt to

emulate homers way of living only to

electrocute himself in one of the show’s

darkest funniest and most divisive

endings well I don’t need safety gloves

because I’m Homer number three Bernice

Foreman that 70 show the paternal

grandmother of series protagonist eric

foreman Bernice is a thoroughly

unpleasant and critical woman being

especially cruel to her daughter-in-law

Kitty while driving Bernice to the

airport after a visit Eric remarks to

her that it wouldn’t kill her to be nice

for a day at which point she immediately

slumps over debt the death itself is

hysterical for how ironic and immediate

it is but it sets in motion a lot of

great humor later in the episode like

Kelso’s overreaction to touching the

body or the excellent open casket scene

oh sorry

those should be closed number two Susan

Ross Seinfeld George Costanza is

recurring love interest Susan Ross was

ready to finally settle down with a

neurotic man after use of their on-again

off-again relationship despite his

apparent desire to back out of it while

assembling their wedding invitations

Susan suddenly passes out at the

hospital a doctor informs George that

she died while also revealing that it

was likely the adhesives used in the

cheap invitations George insisted on

getting that resulted in her death we

were expecting about 200 people

George’s non-reaction and that of the

rest of the gang took the show into

hilariously dark territory making it

nearly the funniest death on TV all

right number one Kenny

South Park the perpetually mumbling

hoodie sporting member of the South Park

boys group of friends Kenny is among the

most death prone characters in fiction

having died in almost every episode for

the first few seasons and many times

thereafter in a wide variety of ways and

nearly all of them are funny well there

have been several other riotous deaths

in the series

like chefs over-the-top demise Kenny

just had to be number one

although quality is important in our

entries sometimes quantity just wins out

[Laughter]
