1000 Ways To Die Wiki


"Butt F***ed", Way to Die #316, is the first death to be featured in "Death Over Easy", which aired on February 8, 2009.

Plot[]

Myron Burns may not know it, but he was a very lucky man. He just barely survives burning his house down after falling asleep while smoking in bed three weeks prior. Instead of taking this as a sign that it's about time he kick the habit, he bribes a female nurse in order to take him out back so he can have a smoke. The ash from his cigarette creates just enough of a spark to ignite his bandages, which just so happen to be soaked in a highly flammable ointment. Panicked and helpless, he ends up rolling down a handicapped ramp and is engulfed in flames when his oxygen tank explodes, and dies from 4th degree burns, sending him to the afterlife.

"Myron... goes out in a blaze of gory."

Trivia.[]

  • Myron's death is similar to that of Derek's death in Poly-Ass-Turd, Zach's death in Dia de Los Morons, Chet's death in Onesie & Donesie, Betty's death in Bad Hair Day, and Carly's death in Weld Done
  • It is based on the death of Ronald Eynon.
  • This is one of 2 deaths caused by oxygen tank explosions. The other is As-Capped.
  • This, Choke-A-Lot, Car Jacked and Water Logged had no theme playing during the death card sequence, being replaced with a ringing sound.
  • This is one of 3 deaths where in the intro card, instead of the usual state code, (if a death is in the United States), the full state name is used, the other 2 are Suffer-cated and Jablowni.
  • This death takes place on the same day as Tanked Girl, Bank Ruptured, and Brain Worms.
  • The footage of the rattlesnake was reused from Fang Banged.
  • This, Meat Your Maker, and Raider of the Lost Narc all have exactly 5 words in it's doggerel.
  • A very similar death occurred years later: On April 2016, a 71-year-old woman smoking outside a hospital in Germany died of third-degree burns after her oxygen respirator ignited and set fire to the plastic upholstery of her wheelchair. Article about this incident (in German) can be found here.
