Even More Top 10 Hilarious Movie Deaths

If you’re a cop in a slasher flick, your odds of survival are about as favorable as the only black guy’s. Horror movie law requires Deputy Hamilton to get the axe in “Hatchet III,” amounting to a sidesplitting death where the growling Victor Crowley hacks his head in half. With blood that looks like marinara sauce and brains that look like Sloppy Joes, anatomy models in doctor’s offices are more convincing than this cheesy prosthetic effect. At least now people will be less inclined to stare at Hamilton’s eye patch.

You probably weren’t expecting to see anybody die walking into “Dumb and Dumber,” except maybe in a daydream. Harry and Lloyd’s stupidity turns Metal into dead meat, however, as they sneak atomic peppers into his burger. The two pranksters go from cackling to panicking upon realizing he can’t take the heat. When CPR fails, they give the big guy his medicine, but mix the pills up with the rat poison he was planning to kill them with. It goes to show how fragile life is and how humorous death can be.

Set during the apocalypse, “This Is the End” has no shortage of inventively funny deaths. While James Franco’s fatality almost ascended onto this countdown, it didn’t quite have the same shock value as Michael Cera’s. Too coked out to comprehend that the world is crumbling, all Cera can think about is his cell phone’s location. He doesn’t even see a collapsing streetlight, which impales the Canadian actor through the heart and drags him down to hell. To add insult to injury and hilarity, his cell was on him the entire time.

When the antagonist in a horror movie is a homicidal snowman, chances are there’ll be more laughs than screams. In this scene from "Jack Frost," Shannon Elizabeth's bath goes from icy to steamy in all the wrong ways. Engulfing the tub, the snowman gives her his idea of a warm hug. A passerby isn't much help as she’s raped to death. It might not fill you with Christmas cheer, but this death will fill you with coldhearted laughter. Just try not to think about what Jack does with his carrot.

Trap fire pits are a cool way to dispose of frickin’ idiots. They aren’t always guaranteed to get the job done, though. This slowly dawns on Dr. Evil when he literally fires Mustafa. While very badly burned, the henchman is still very much alive. After trying to ignore Mustafa’s cries of agony, Dr. Evil finally does what he should have done from the start: just have him shot! Although Will Ferrell’s screen time is limited in the first “Austin Powers,” he certainly leaves a scarring impression with his unceremoniously hilarious termination.

Since it’s a cop’s job to resolve conflict as peacefully as possible, Lt. Frank Drebin attempts to detain Vincent Ludwig with a nonlethal cufflink dart. This backfires, however, as the villain stumbles over the stadium wall and plummets to a flattening fate. That’s already pretty funny, but the filmmakers keep piling on the laughs as a bus, a steamroller, and the USC marching band trample over Ludwig like he’s made of Play-Doh. George Kennedy’s final one-liner is the icing on the cake of this priceless scene from “The Naked Gun.”

No public figure is safe from Matt Stone and Trey Parker. It’s hard to think of one celebrity who comes out of “Team America: World Police” unscathed, Hans Blix’s watery demise being a standout. While Kim Jong-il doesn’t show Hans his weapons of mass destruction during an inspection, the dictator does introduce him to his nurse sharks. As the fishies decapitate the Swedish diplomat, Jong-il spouts some of the most uproarious dialogue you’ll ever hear in an R-rated puppet comedy. Parker’s recognizable City Wok voice only makes the obscenities funnier.

While the Killer Rabbit was outrageous, this immortal “Monty Python” bit consists of three deaths, each more hysterical than the last. Where Lancelot answers the bridge keeper’s three questions with zero effort, Sir Robin is thrown for a loop. Sir Galahad’s questions are easier, but he still manages to cock up the final one. The audience thinks they know what the punch line will be when King Arthur’s asked his questions. He surprises everyone, however, by answering with another question. It’s good to be the king and even better to be a swallow expert.

If you happen to be a swinger, you might take offense to some of the causalities depicted in “Eating Raoul.” This dark comedy centers on a bland married couple that starts slaying swingers and emptying their wallets. The Blands hit the jackpot when they encounter a wild hot tub orgy. Matters get even more heated as Mr. Bland chucks a space heater into the Jacuzzi. Instantaneously, the mob of ravers is fried to a crisp with shockingly hilarious results. That’s one way to kill a party.

Before we nip our top pick in the bud, here are a few honorable mentions:

“The Running Man” (1987)

There’s no deadlier prey than man and no deadlier man than Mike Danton. Nearing this epic B-movie’s final act, the bloodthirsty Vietnam veteran goes commando on a mercenary. Unable to shoot the screaming target charging forward, the incompetent soldier pays with his right arm. If that’s not ridiculous enough, Danton proceeds to beat the guy to death with his own severed body part and then scalps his corpse. It might be shoddily produced, but we’d give an arm and a leg to watch this outrageous scene over and over again.
