"Drone Boned", Way to Die #370, is the seventh and final death to be featured in "Death Be a Lady Tonight", which aired on July 25, 2011.
Plot[]
Two terrorists fighting with guns hide in a building. Far away in Nevada, a worker at an army command center named Al, who is also a fellow pro video gamer, releases a drone via a video game joystick. The drone drops a missile that hits the building, and the two terrorists get caught in the resulting explosion and disintegrate instantly, reducing them to dust and ashes.
Transcript[]
(A little bit of Drama Purgatory and Breaking Open DNA is playing)
Narrator: ...and press a button
Al: Missiles launched.
Terrorist #2: What is that noise?
(before the two terrorists could react any further, the drone missile hits the building which has them caught in the resulting explosion and disintegrated instantly, leaving nothing of them behind)
(during the CGI)
Narrator: Responding to Al's electronic command, the drone dropped a 500lbs laser-guided bomb, and took out one of the Taliban's most sought-after terrorist suds.
(the explosion in the CGI destroys the building and disintegrates the CGI skeleton (representing one of the terrorists), leaving nothing behind other than a dismembered hand)
(back in reality)
Al: Target is neutralized! Good job, guys.
(Recap)
Narrator: You often hear the phrase, 'He who dies with the most toys wins.' For these terrorists, it's more like, 'He who doesn't have the latest toys...'
Al: Missiles launched.
Terrorist #2: What is that noise?
(again, the drone missile hits the building which has them caught in the resulting explosion and disintegrated instantly, leaving nothing of them behind)
Narrator: '...dies.'
(back in the army command center in Nevada)
Man: Hey man, you ready to get food?

Trivia[]
- This death is very similar to Way to Die #889, which aired a year earlier. Both deaths involve an Islamic terrorist who is killed by an American military officer with superior technology, except in this one, it is done at much further distance from North America to South Asia.
- This is also the second and final death in the series to have somebody disintegrated to the point that pretty much nothing is left behind after Tali-Bombed. Coincidentally, both segments featured the deaths of two terrorists.
- This is the second death that's a pun on "prone bone". the first death that does this is Phone Boned.
- This is also one of the segments that use "Boned". Others are Ichiboned, Lesboned, I-Boned, Big Boned and Chicken Boned
