This isn't meant to be a rhetorical question. I'm just wondering. If all the people who die on this show are unbearable and awful, the moral of 1000 Ways to Die must be that only jerks die in freak accidents.
"You can dish it out, but you got so you can't take it no more." - Caesar Enrico Bandello
The guy who fell into the wood chipper wasn't a jerk. That poor woman killed in the iron maiden wasn't a bad person, and neither was the female dogwalker, the trucker who ended up in half in one of the earlier episodes (God help us, that was the stuff of freaking NIGHTMARES), the sleepwalker in the bay, or the violinist who fell down the stairs.
share(and even though they acted goofy, and told in a funny way but...)
How about that guy that was doing his job and was accidently buried by an idiot...
Or the guy leaving a New Years party only to be shot by a stray bullet....
Or the woman who died from S U N D S......
Or the intern who while trying to get a job had an Brain Aneurysm....
Or the "Hatter Guy".....
They were "innocent" of any wrong doing, bad behavior or "Bad Karma".
(Note: most of "innocent" deaths happened in the first 14 episodes, but there are some more - more or less - scattered around the series.)
To an earlier post: good one on the guy on the x-ray machine....
Also add the guy who died of old age...
Can anyone come up with what any of these people (other then the "waterbed" guy) were guilty of.... other than living their life????
Anyone mention the woman who ate snails, the woman who ate dirt, or the Chinese man who bowed and hurt his head?
shareneither was the female dogwalker,Are you kidding? She hated dogs‼ She did deserve to have that tree where her face used to be.
The hippie girl who hit a racoon and got out to give it cpr and was hit by an oncoming truck. She seemed like a nice person. Of course, they fabricate background stories to make these people seem like d*bags.
shareI felt sorry for the woman who was practicing for the belly dancer world competition. She swung one of her sashes around and it got caught in the ceiling fan and she was hung to death. She did no wrong.
But the others you can tell they hammed it up and most likely made up how some of these people acted like jerks and morons.
Me fail English? But, that's unpossible.

I agree that they did this. I mean the show wouldn't have been as entertaining or funny if they didn't rewrite the people to be jerks. It's always funny (even when it shouldn't be) when karma visits someone that deserves it, and I think that's the formula that had us watching.
But I have noticed, even the nicer ones were made to look like complete idiots which added to some of the humor. Such as the nice girl who probably would not have tried to give CPR to a dead raccoon in real life.
The Asian married couple that died while having sex with each other for the first time?
shareThe reason the deaths are funny rather than tragic is because the victims are always useless, borderline retarded people who did something REALLY stupid and paid for it in death. I don't want to see good people die in unfortunate accidents. I want to see dumbass rednecks get *beep* up.
My power, my pleasure, my PAIN
Well, the one where the girl chases a bird up onto a roof and falls to her death kind of threw me off. It was really how the show made it seem like she deserved it, but she really didn't. I mean, sure she was stupid for climbing the roof like that, and she shouldn't have had her boyfriend over in the first place, but so what? If everyone who made such little mistakes deserved to die, most people would fall under that category.
Plus, you have to realize that this is my signature.
The cute girl that swallowed the fish was sad/tragic. One that pissed me off was the little guy who dies when his bitchy girlfriend knocks his harmonica down his throat and she laughs while he is chokes to death.
share< which poisoned the woman and killed her.
Actually, the episode clearly states that some of the caulk was accidentally injected into her bloodstream and formed an embolism.
Much as I like this show, I do sometimes feel that it's making moral judgements on people.
On one hand, we have those who die due to being a moron and/or a douchebag. It's tough to feel any sympathy there. Then again, we have cases like "Lesbocution" (sorry, even the title is sensationalist and adolescent). What did this lady do to deserve her fate? And this is not the only case that's focused on death befalling consenting same-sex couples. (See also "Deadliest Munch")
There are also many cases that centre on people who die doing "kinky" things. Again, this is no more than stupid, Puritan and entirely unwarranted moral posturing.
There's always something to look at if you open your eyes.
Would the guys who died snorting ants count? I think they were idiots, but not necessarily jerks but I don't remember for sure. Or the health nut woman who was drinking liquified grass she was growing that her landlord was spraying with poison to keep pests away.
Abyssus est iustus a vox. Animadverto est ultum, ultum peior
Most of the good examples have already been said so I will go with some other ones:
I'd say the animal lover that gets decapitated by a truck when she tries to revive that raccoon.
I'd also say the asthmatic guy that ends up dying from the severa asthma attack from seasonings in the food his girlfriend is cooking for him and he runs out of medicine in his inhaler.
It heals me in my mind without you by my side.
