"Forked-Up", Way to Die #714, is the second death to be featured in "Death On Arrival", which aired on December 6, 2009.
Plot[]
Two very lazy workers named Bernie and Cesar, decided to get high at work. Marijuana for breakfast. One morning, they get so high Cesar decides to drive a forklift around while Bernie is tied behind on a scooter with rope tied around his waist. Unknowingly the rope gets stuck under a car wheel. Cesar doesn't notice because he is listening to music. The rope tightens harder and harder around Bernie's waist and eventually he is sliced in half like a birthday cake, exposing his intestines, sending him to purgatory to be judged. Cesar eventually notices the corpse's upper half, much to his horror.
Now you know why work and play don't mix.

Trivia[]
- The two people were possibly named after former NFL quarterback Bernie Kosar.
- Cesar's forklift looks identical to the HVY Forklift Utility from the Grand Theft Auto series.
- Bernie's death is similar to that of Cuddles' death in Happy Tree Friends web series episode, "I Get a Trick Out of You", Handy's death in Happy Tree Friends web series episode, "Blind Date", Nutty's death in Happy Tree Friends TV series episode, "Take a Hike", and Ted's death in Half-Offed.
- This is the only non season 1 death that does not use the Season 2-6 theme. Instead, the recap music is featured in the deathcard.
- Bernie's moaning sounds like An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire's moaning sound #245 & #421.
- Bernie's facial expression in the deathcard is similar to George's in Dip 'N Die.
Goofs[]
- The forklift has a wing mirror. Couldn't Cesar just look at the mirror instead of turn back?
- Bernie was bending back before he split in half like a birthday cake, but when the rope snapped, we can see that he's bending in front. We can see him as dummy.
