1000 Ways To Die Wiki


Recep-shunned, Way to Die #496, is the first death featured in "Death Penalties", which aired on January 25, 2012.

Plot[]

Emily and John are a newlywed couple who are forced to hire Sandy, an obnoxious wedding singer, as their entertainment for their wedding reception after the original band that they booked withdrew at the last minute. Sandy momentarily gets drunk, aggravating the wedding attendants.

Sandy performs a crude song about the couple, saying that John was deceived into marrying Emily after getting her pregnant, dubs Emily a slut and says that she carries herpes, and finally declares that they are screwed.

In a fit of anger, John attempts to attack Sandy but is interrupted by the best man, who holds him back. John pushes the best man into the microphone stand on Sandy's keyboard, forcing the microphone to put up deep into his trachea.

The attendants are too freaked out by the event to help Sandy, leaving him to pass away from asphyxiation, sending the obnoxious, idiotic and drunken wedding singer to Hell, where he belongs.

"Oh Well. Time to cut the cake?"
