"Teri-Yucky", Way to Die #358, is the third death featured in "Death Penalties", which aired on January 25, 2012.
Plot[]
Iyoki is a busboy who works at a Benihana-style Japanese grill restaurant called Buddha Ha Ha in Bremerton, where he admires the head chef, Ito, and hopes to one day take over for him.
Every night after the restaurant closes, Ito ties up his precious knives within a napkin, and locks them within a safe. One night, when Ito goes home, Iyoki breaks into the safe and takes the knives, role-playing as a head chef.
Iyoki then executes a knife throw but throws the knife too high in the air, although he successfully catches it and gets lucky. However, while the knife is thrown into the air, it cuts through a support rope holding up a giant Buddha head behind it. The head falls forward, pinning Iyoki's face against the hot griddle. Iyoki dies from fatal burns, sending him to the afterlife.
