"Onesie & Donesie", Way to Die #396, is the first death to be featured in "Young, Dumb, and Full of Death", which aired on November 9, 2010.
Plot[]
Chet was an extremely nice and equally clumsy television salesman who could hurt himself with anything. His first product was a folding ladder that fell off because it was poorly secured. His second product was a samurai sword that he hit against a table, broke and hit him on the right side of the chest. Fortunately, Chet only needed a couple of days in bed in the hospital and was able to return to the studio to smile and sell. His third and last product was an adult-sized onesie and added that if the public ordered at that time they would receive giveaway aromatherapy candles, Chet accidentally ran his right sleeve over the flames causing the onesie to catch fire. A stage man tried to put out the flames with a fire extinguisher, but the extinguisher broke and the flames burned Chet to death, sending him to Heaven so that he could be a salesman forever and never suffer accidents.
