"Tongue Tied", Way to Die #517, is the seventh and last death to be featured in "Stupid is as Stupid Dies", which aired on October 20, 2010.
Plot[]
A huge group of rich 20 year-olds wasted their trust funds on fashion items and muscle cars. Mike and Jade were the most extreme of the bunch, who had piercings on almost every part of their body. Jade wanted to show off her new tongue piercing: a slave ring. Mike and Jade began kissing in opposite cars while the rest drove the cars and watched. They would stop kissing when they came close to a stationery object. Eventually, they would come across a forklift. When they were nearing it, Mike and Jade attempted to stop kissing, but their tongues were literally tied and they were stuck kissing due to Mike's standard ball piercing getting entangled in Jade's slave ring. The cars were going too fast to stop, and the two forks of the forklift cleanly decapitated Mike and Jade. Jade's friend soon stopped and got out of her car and started crying upon seeing Jade and Mike's headless bodies and decapitated heads.
Transcript[]
(Bulimia Queen is playing, some young punk cuts the lock on the fence with loopers)
Narrator: There's really nothing worse than a bunch of snotty suburban kids with a lot more money than brains.
Kids: (Whooping)
Mike: Get in, boy!! Let's do this!!!
Narrator: And this gang of intellectually challenged 20-somethings drained their trust funds on fashion accessories and muscle cars. Their idea of good time was to play at being fast and furious.
(2 cars driving side by side)
Narrator: Mike and Jade saw themselves as the Sid and Nancy of the group.
(Mike and Jade near kiss each other)
Narrator: A couple of sex pistols, who didn't have an orifice that wasn't pierced, and didn't know a line they wouldn't cross. Today, Jade was taking her new tongue piercing out for a joy ride.
([] is playing)
Eddie Herrera: A slave ring is something like I'm wearing here, where...a...barbell... is connected to the bead... that closes the ring. The slave master would attach a leash or chain to... to lead their slave around...
(On The Run is playing)
Narrator: They thought they'd christen the new piercing with a stunt they called 'the kiss of death'.
(Mike and Jade lip kiss)
Narrator: The two lovers remained lip locked until a last possible moment when the cars would pull away to avoid a stationary object, in this case, a slow moving forklift. The stunt would've worked, except Mike and Jade suddenly found themselves...tongue tied.
(As they saw the forklift in front, Mike & Jade are still locked that they want to separate to avoid crash)
-Girl: Get back in the car!!!
-Boy: Get in the car now!!!
(It's too late, Serious Suspense is playing, CGI forklift cuts 2 heads)
Eddie Herrera: One would have the slave ring, with a hoop on it, and then what would end up happening would be that the ball... on just a plain, regular tongue ring, would get...lodged in that ring.
(The decapitation resumes, Mike and Jade's head flies to the ground, so much horror for their idiotic friends)
Girl: (SCREAMS OF HORROR)
(Recap of Mike and Jade's tongue get stuck, Innocent Death is playing)
Narrator: The two drivers should have slowed down their cars at the same time, but they didn't use their heads.
-Narrator: So instead, Mike and Jade lost theirs.
-Girl: (SCREAMS OF HORROR)
(Their 2 heads are now in the close-up view with their tongues)
-Girl: (SCREAMS OF HORROR) OH MY... GOD!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!! OH, OH MY GOD!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!!
-Narrator: Kids these days do some pretty dumb things. These two could have used a simple... heads up.
(The death card theme starts before the death card is shown)
