"North By Northwasted", Way to Die #411, is the seventh and final death featured in "Death Certificates", which aired on July 15, 2012.
Plot[]
Dolph was a director looking to recreate the iconic crop duster scene from the Alfred Hitchcock film: North by Northwest, using little actors: Gary Can't as Cary Grant and Bob as Eva Marie Saint and a remote-control plane to be the crop duster. But Gary and Bob did not listen to Dolph since Dolph was annoying and he called them by a politically incorrect word but Gary and Bob did not allow themselves to be insulted and gave Dolph a beating. After hours behind schedule, Dolph managed to get his cast and crew set for the scene. Gary started to run away from the plane but the plane was too close so he jumped before it hit him and the plane headed towards Dolph, cutting the left side of his neck and lacerating his carotid artery, causing the director to die instantly from massive hemorrhaging, sending him to hell. Gary and the team saw his bloody dead body and left, leaving him alone.
Transcript[]
Dolph: (On his megaphone) Come on, everybody. LET'S GET GOOOIIIIIIIIIIING!!
Narrator: Here's a slice of Hollywood that won't make entertainment tonight.
Dolph: What I tell you to do, you do.
Narrator: There's Dolph, the director. He's recreating the iconic "crop duster scene" from Hitchcock's "North by Northwest".
Dolph: You will be chased by the plane, you will run towards me like Cary Grant. It's going be to fantastic!
Narrator: He hopes it will give him the recognition he deserves.
Dolph: Just like Alfred Hitchcock.
Narrator: And to make the scene his own, he's cast little people.
(Beautiful shot of Gary Can't)
Narrator: As Cary Grant, we have Gary Can't.
(Ugly shot of Bob...)
Narrator: And as Eva Marie Saint, we have... Bob...
Dolph: Why don't you listen to me?
Gary: You're annoying.
Narrator: But Dolph can't seem to get through to his little stars.
Dolph: (On his megaphone) SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!
Gary: I'm right here, you dumbass!
Narrator: He calls them that politically incorrect word that rhymes with "gidget".
Dolph: I can't work with m*****s anymore!
Gary: WHAT!? Did you just drop the m bomb on me!
Dolph: Yes I do!
Bob: You know how insulting that is?
Gary: Yeah I'm a little person here and a fat-ass little person. I'll whoop your ass anyday!
Dolph: Alfred Hitchcock would never take this.
Gary: Dude, it's like working with Alfred Bitchcock!
Eric Manuel:
Dolph: We are going to take this shot!
Narrator: Hours behind schedule...
Dolph: Wake up you idiot!
Narrator: Dolph finally manages to get his cast and crew pointed in the right direction.
Dolph: ACTIOOOON!
(They start recording, with the plane taking off)
Narrator: To match the scale of his cast, Dolph got a remote-controlled plane to be the crop duster.
Dolph: Get the plane lower, please get it lower!
(Cut to Gary, who starts running)
Dolph: RUN, FASTER! FASTER!
(Cut to plane in the air)
Dolph: LOWER, YOU MORON, LOWER! I don't care if it hits him, I don't care if it kills him, you get it lower!
(Cut back to Gary, the plane is now behind him).
Dolph: RUN, YOU IDIOT! RUN! RUN! Run, you fool, run! Keep going.
(Cut to Dolph)
Dolph: Good, good, good.
(Gary successfully dodges the airplane that makes a beeline for Dolph)
Dolph: No, No. Bad, bad, bad BA- OOF!
(Dolph is hit in the carotid artery by the plane, starts bleeding out)
Dr. Robert Pousman: So when the plane cut his neck and lacerated the carotid artery, that artery is under a lot of pressure since it's coming off the neck. It was like a garden hose gushing out of his neck and he bled out instantly.
Narrator: Dolph thought he goosed his career by remaking a Hollywood classic. But his cast came up a little short. And Dolph... was left... speechless.
Gary: That's a Wrap.
(Everybody else goes home, leaving Dolph behind)

Trivia[]
- Also known as "North by Northwaste" on the Spike TV website.
- The Latin American and Spanish names are puns of the names of the same movie "North by Northwest" in both regions.
- This death happens on the exact same date as Tea Bagged.
- Despite not being mentioned, it is heavily implied during the scene that Dolph is a foreigner: this is because at the beginning of the scene, when he says, "Come on Everbody", he says the sentence in English but with a heavily accented accent, especially when he speaks the word Everbody, implying he was born outside the US (and possibly in a non-English speaking country).
- Coupled with the aforementioned fact with the fact that his first name is Dolph, it is implied that he was born either in a country of Germanic origin (such as Germany or the Netherlands, mainly Holland) or in a country of Nordic origin (such as Sweden or Denmark), as the name Dolph is quite popular among men who are native to those countries.
- Goof: When Dolph gets his neck sliced open, you can see the wires.
- In the German version, the actual beginning of Eric Manuel's interview is shown.
- Dolph's death is similar to that of Lumpy's death in Happy Tree Friends web series episode, "The Way You Make Me Wheel".
- If one looks closely during the CGI explanation of the death, the RC Plane has a little guy flying it.
- This death is similar to Apocalypse Harley, as it ends with someone saying, "That's a Wrap!"
