  • Great little show

    I was expecting this show to be something like the old faces of death video's I remember from when I was a teen, dark, serious, disturbing and so on, I was pleasantly surprised. This show looks at various deaths of real people, usually under somewhat odd circumstances (like getting the bends on an airplane flight) or through sheer idiocy (like the man who decided to let a black widow bite him and then try to "ride it out" rather than going to the ER). The difference is that it approaches these deaths from a rather lighthearted mindset, it gives each death a quirky name, the narrator often snaps jokes at the deceased's bad decision making and also gives a medical or specialist-based idea of just WHY this would kill, how the aforementioned black widow bite works in the body for example.
    This winds up making for a thoroughly entertaining, somewhat perverse show. It lands somewhere in the black comedy area, I often find myself shaking my head or laughing out loud at the stupidity of some of these people and then finding myself feeling like a total jerk for having laughed in the first place.
    I think we as a society have become so distanced from death that it's nice to see a show that approaches it as what it is...something we're ALL riding towards. We tend to think of ourselves as immortal, we subjectively know "well I'm going to die one day", but very few have the capacity to really take that reality and accept it because it's not something we really like to think about. Our bodies are basically big balloons of primarily water, with thousands of moving parts and organs...and if any one of those are interrupted our balloon of mostly water will keel over and croak. It's refreshing to see a show that doesn't treat death as some dark, sinister entity lying in wait for us, but rather as just a simple fact of life like sex, relationships, and so forth.
    Well worth a watch for anyone who isn't bothered by the fact that at the end of the episode you'll be 30 minutes closer to that death...if you can accept that then you'll likely enjoy this show.moreless

    Now,there's another show to watch now,and that's this show.It's basically about deaths of people that happened over the years.For example,there's two people snorting fire ants,but they sting inside their noses,which causes them not to breathe.The funniest thing about this show is what they call the deaths.Like Oprah Winfried,Chippin Dale and many more.But some deaths are just disgusting to watch,like a guy was burping too much and his date punched him in the stomach to help,but it caused a hole in his organs and he died.Ouch!I give this an B.Score:
    Humor:Deaths are not funny,but what they call the deaths are funny.
    Voices:Don't care

    Finally,a good show on Tv that's painfulmoreless

  • Good idea. Badly executed.

    The show itself isn't to bad but I hate how they try to trick the viewer into believing the footage being shown is real when it's so blatantly obvious it's professionally shot. Obviously showing real footage is uncalled for and I understand why they wouldn't but they could at least put more effort into making the footage look real by making it look as if the it was shot by amateur.

    Another thing that bothered me is that the show seemed as if it was at times trying to be comedic and failed nearly every time. I love the concept of the show but they should of done it with more of a documentary type style.moreless

    ever since i started watching this i watch it like every day now! some of the stories are interesting, like the girl who tried the tape worm diet the narocleptic falling asleep... some of the content is kind of grotesque but that's why it's TV-14. It's really interesting to see some of this stuff, and imagine "Did that really happen?" Some of the stuff i find hard to believe but overall this is a new personal favorite show of mine, and because of all of this my overall grade is of course going to be an A+. Simply perfect showmoreless
