I remember quite a few of them being sympathetic - the Japanese businessman who was so nervous that he practiced bowing over and over again which caused some blood clot or something, the virginal couple who basically sexed themselves to death was treated like a really touching story, and the one about the guy who got cut in half by a truck was certainly not treated humorously.Īnd if I recall correctly, the very last segment of the show is about a guy who dies peacefully, having lived a long life, surrounded by family?Īnd I never got the impression they're saying these people deserved to die, just that since they were horrible people we shouldn't feel as bad. Īlso, I haven't watched the show in a while, but I don't remember all of the segments treated the deaths like lololol this idiot. I'm fairly certain a few of the featured segments aren't even possible ways to die (the exploding breast implants, for one). I did recognize one segment as being true, but I think most of them are made up or based on urban legends. If it helps, I'm pretty sure most of the segments aren't based on actual people.
Maybe it's just because respect for the dead is important to me, but I find the premise of the show disturbing at best and horribly fucked-up at worst. I doubt even a significant minority of the subjects deserved to die, let alone all of them, which is what the show tries to lead us to believe. Should a show really be made that mocks them and treats them as inhuman and unworthy of life? The creators didn't know these people.
These are people who died untimely deaths. They're not people like you and me: they're losers without a shred of humanity. In every instance they are very unsympathetic. The show crafts the subjects (the people who die) as people who more or less deserve to die: they are either morally bankrupt, insanely unintelligent, disgusting in behavior, lacking any human emotion, or some combination of the four.
Now, while adding that comedic spin is probably the only way the show could have been made possible without sending the viewer into a deep depression, the humor is nevertheless very mean-spirited (as well as flat-out not funny). As I'm sure you're all aware, the show basically centers around people who do something stupid/evil/disgusting and lose their lives as a result-always with a comedic spin added by the show's creators. Not only quality-wise is this show truly awful (though it's pretty damn bad as far as that goes, too), but in my opinion every episode is invariably a fucked-up thing to sit through.
