TBF, the Death "Bad Max" is quite painful when one realizes it actually happened to a Child at a Pool. She shockingly survived that, but when they did an Organ Transplant, one of them had Cancer, which caused her Death later on.
Maybe they thought if they made the “people” who did in this show as blatantly fictitious as possible the families of the real life deceased wouldn’t notice?
I think the practical reason behind this is so that you can laugh at the show and not feel bad when people die horrible deaths. It’s always “well, they had it coming 🤷♂️ “ It wouldn’t be a very fun show if you felt awful about every segment.
One time I ate a shitload of mushrooms and watched a marathon of ‘1000 ways to die’. Afterwards, I heard the narrator narrating my every action in my head. I thought for sure the end was near.

If I remember correctly, in the first season a majority of the victims weren't idiots or pieces of crap but everyday people trying to live their lives. It honestly made this show a lot more believable.

Yeah, there was even an episode where they interviewed a motorcyclist who almost died from getting run over by a truck but a few of his friends died. Stuff like that made it way more believable.
@@youngstud214 agreed, just discovered that show thanks to a coworker. I should've emphasized TH-cam channel, I wouldn't watch spike unless I was trying to give myself the closest thing to a lobotomy that I can get
As a person with anxiety, this show messed me up T_T)/ Also thanks for these videos man. I've been binging them over the past couple days since I found your channel. They're all amazing.
Maybe this is because I like dark stuff but this is one of my favorite shows growing up. It was kind of interesting to see different ways how people die and to make it unique it had some dark humor in it
ya, it had some deaths that were just a bit obscure and not so well known that some of them would b sort of important info or at least interesting. lol

Plus it had some pretty cool information in it. Like the fact that the human ribcage can withstand up to 600 pounds of pressure. Also. It’s narrated by Ron Pearlman. What’s not to love? Although I will admit that some deaths freaked me out. Like what happened to Connie on the plane. If you know… You know…
Does anyone remember the episode where a dude was running away from the cops or something and crawled into a hole and got eaten alive by rats? Traumatized me as a kid lol
When I was a child (probably 6-7 years old) my big sister had full control over the remote and I had to watch whatever she felt like watching, so I spent a LOT of time watching this show, and it still has an effect on me as a 22 year old woman. On the positive side, I'm terrified of taking mind-altering drugs because of the episode where a dude dove headfirst into a pool during an acid trip, and I grew to be an incredibly cautious child because I was incredibly aware of how easy it could be to die, but I also have incredibly detailed intrusive thoughts and I think watching this show is the biggest reason for that. It's like my brain is constantly looking for ways I could possibly die at any given moment and it's incredibly distressing when you're constantly imagining the most likely death scenarios. I'll just be living my life like a normal human and my brain is like "hey, just so you know, if you were to slip and fall at exactly the right angle, your skull will hit that countertop and it's game over for you" or "try not to trip too close to that fence, you will most definitely be impaled right through the heart by a wooden post" My brain turns the most mundane of tasks into a literal horror movie and it's exhausting
I actually found this video cause I randomly remembered the show having a huge impact on my anxiety when I was 7 (im 22 now). already my grandpa had died that year which made me hyperaware of the permanence of death and the fact that everyone I cared about would be gone someday forever, but then my dad started watching this show a lot and it freaked me the fuck out. i became constantly terrified of not just myself but anyone i knew going anywhere or doing anything, even eating became scary to me. i eventually learned to cope (sorta) but i relate a lot to what you said, every moment being an opportunity for something horrific and all
Yess and thats why i also try to death proof my parents house My dogs dont wear collars inside my home incase of anything, theyre not accidentally hooked on something and etc You made this make sense soo well
What I remember most about this show was how many of the deaths were just people swallowing something and choking on it. There were so many choking fatalities that every episode I watched I was asking "what are they choking on today?"
in that way i think there was 1 surprise, a country girl choking to death on a fish she almost caught. also the most interesting fact i remember the show that fish scales can b like razor blades.
I remember being in high school and watching this show late at night, and then not being able to sleep from panicking about how easily I could die. Lol
I watched this show too much as a teen to have forgotten it, it's almost like a weird fever dream. I realise now that they probably made everyone seem horrible so that we wouldn't feel so bad watching them comedically tell stories based on supposedly real deaths.
The deaths on this show always seemed far fetched, though I found out nearly 99% of the deaths were actually based on REAL deaths that were changed with creative liberties to "protect the identities of the deceased". But one death that always gave me nightmares... The tarp slip'n slide. I actually did that with a friend when I was a kid and after watching that episode I garnered a fear of using tarps for slip'n slides without checking for nails.
@@patrickwillis13 That day was uneventful, but about a month later I saw the episode and that's where I contracted the fear, as well as a slightly darker hindsight.
@@patrickwillis13 Oh, so some young couple snuck into a backyard with a swimming pool that was under construction and decided to pull out a tarp to use as a slip n' slide. What they failed to notice was the single 4" nail sticking out in the middle of the tarp... the guy went belly first and disembowled himself into the pool.
the way ppl need to rate and see things these days. too much comparing, u gotta see something for what it is b4 u rly rate it. many ppl say this and that is shit but rly its a 6 or 7 and just not the best, the top 100 somethings ever made. something shouldnt have to b compared and ranked and b a 9 or 10 minimum. as long as u like it who cares. some :)
6:47 That's not always true. There was one story about a Japanese married couple who stayed celibate with one another for the 7 years of marriage they were in, literally having panic attacks every time they tried, until one day when they finally consummated their union they both died of heart attacks. I don't think their intention was to make that couple dumb. And yes it is based on an actual story.
Sometimes you don't have to try to make people sound dumb. Sometimes the people do that all on their own. I can't fathom being too nervous to do what humans have literally been doing since complex multi celled organisms first began to propagate via heterosexual contact. Dude if two absolute fucking idiot tweaker can do it, there is no excuse for anyone that has the physical working parts
@@hahano9586 Actually I have a lot more sympathy for them and those who come from places and cultures where celibacy and "purity" is put in a pedestal. Where sex is treated as dirty, sexual dysfunction is a real consequence.
I recently rewatched this show and honestly it’s still really funny to me. I think for me it fills that sort of morbid interest many people have with stuff like true crime but less morally fucked/exploitative that true crime can be. The fact that they change the stories and mainly only use the deaths makes you feel a bit better since they’re not exploiting a real person most of the time and they don’t use real names. Also the shitty acting makes it so funny
I remember an episode of about a performer who did sword swelling but with an umbrella, and during his trick he died when he accidentally presses the release button, causing the umbrella to open inside him. Neat show
This show was lit. I remembered when I was only 9 and my friends would binge watch the marathons. And this show has taught me more about the science behind the deaths than my science teachers
Can’t forget about scare tactics! I was obsessed with that show but this… As a 23 year old, I still vividly remember the industrial dryer, puddle/lamp post lady, and the human bubble episodes… the trauma 😭
I just want to say dude congratulations bro you're almost at a 100 K subs you have been blowing up past few months you absolutely deserve it too you put a lot time in effort in your videos and you're super funny.
There's actually a Wikipedia article that compiles a list of unique deaths, Spike got the idea from the show from there. I'm not exactly sure what the article is named but I usually get there by looking up "girl penetrated by huge toy" so you can try that.
Even as a kid I could tell how low budget the show was but I loved it, made me feel like it was extremely easy to accidentally die. Also found it interesting how they always found an excuse to make things sexual or make fun of the person dying, weird show and weird era of TV.
Anyone remember the 1000th way to die? I do it was literally just passing away from old age it was kinda wholesome after all the gruesome/silly things they just have passing away as one of them.
0:27 when he shows that screenshot of old MTV dating shows, that's my buddy Danny and his mom in the top right box. Bringing back some long lost memories lmao
9:10 "filming hot babes shooting guns which damn why didn't I think of that" same bro if I wasn't afraid of women lol. That genuinely sounds pretty cool
I watched an episode of a thousand ways to die when I was around 14 and it scared me half to death. Its the episode where a dude is working on his car and as he's finishing up he slides down his driveway through one of those street cleaners. It was really unerving.
I remember there was an episode where a guy used to do a prank on his new hires where he'd run into his reinforced office window... long story short they changed the window without him knowing
This show used to mess up my mind, does anyone remember the death where that old guy tries to "be a fish" so he makes a latex suit and has a heat stroke before he could reach the ocean? That one traumatized me so bad I had nightmares.
My dad used to watch this. I would get out of bed and sneak behind the couch to watch T.V. And watching this show traumatized me but watching this vid and the other vid is low key therapy lmao
I remember this show, it was quite funny. The puns at the end of every death did it for me. Also, sorry for being "that guy" but at 5:03 its Carbon Dioxide. Although both can be lethal (CO & CO2) depending on the concentration, CO is not use in fire extinguishers. Thanks for another video Chris
I'm still willing to watch this show, the cartoonish behavior and re-enactments are fantastic it's like watching a bunch of short stories with soap opera actors/actresses 😊
1000 Ways to Die had to be one of the better Spike shows simply because you knew EXACTLY what you were getting just from the name. The only thing that would make this show more obvious is if it was called The Darwin Awards, which is honestly where I think they got all their stories.
I loved this show back then. I just wish I’d seen Horrible Histories before so I could have sung Dumb Ways while watching it. I really love your videos and actually get some decent laughs from your jokes. Much more than that the snoz snort.
The doubting Spike TV has an HR department comment not only made me nose huff in amusement but make a small "heh" sound also. Congratulations, you've successfully done something 90% of the comedy content I watch hasn't made me do. I'm used to watching stuff in public or around others or at night when I need to be quiet so I don't often make any noise despite being incredibly entertained and laughing inside my head. 😊
I ain’t gonna lie I was a kid when I first saw this show. Scared the shit out of me. I watch the squid one where the dude ate a squid and died and I honestly believe it’s possible and I couldn’t handle the thought of dying that way😂😂😂
At 31 you are the first youtuber i have EVER turned on notifications for, and im glad i did it. Your sense of humor and observations are still one of my all time favorites now, you have made the SAME joke i say in my head when i see the clip and it trips me out. You are the shit 😎
I remember how crazy this show was. You could tell when they really thought a death was over the top or that the victim deserved it. Also Spike TV was always on the TVs at this one vocational school I went to. I should probably talk about that in a video. Spike TV was just as memorable and I have to say I'm glad I remember most of the stuff that was on there. Good times.
I loved this show growing up. I’ll never forget the episode where a lawyer dies from self-defenestration. The bad pun at the end still makes me holler “habeas corpse”😂😂😂
I remember watching the show when I was younger and always looking up the actual death to see how 'real' it was and made that connection that Spike loved to make everyone who died either an asshole or idiot or "deserving" of what came to them.
The first season was very different. It was less dramatized and ended with one person surviving something they shouldn't have. I guess people weren't interested in that and wanted to watch the person dying being an asshole.
@@bigbearkat2010 This. I remember one death (I think where a person guts were sucked out by the pool?) the actual victim was a child. No one wants to see that.
@@deathcon6261 agreed. i can barely stomach the idea after reading ur comment. saw the episode and would feel bad for a serial killer going out like that. for me its 1 thing for a pos to survive something like that something completely different for any1 to die like that imo.
I was not in Spike TV’s target demographic, but I watched this show and there were a couple of episodes that scared me enough to make me extra paranoid 😅
Chris... This channel is pure GOLD. The genius of using the same shows repeatedly and still making it interesting and funny... You sir have the magic touch, EPIC commentary 👌Oh, and please never stop using the Spike Dr's
Come to find out, 1000 Ways to Die had some serious legal issues throughout its tenure, because a number of people who were friends/family of the deceased portrayed and either watched or heard about the specific thing portrayed, sued because 1000 Ways to Die took serious liberty with the incident, and often ended up tarnishing the character of many victims of, essentially, accidents.
TH-cam Expert: You see, when a person sits in front of a camera, does some interesting stuff, edits it all together into one video, and then uploads it to TH-cam, people get to watch it.
ok so i just came across this channel and honestly. i love your content. i binge watched so many videos. i rarely find myself watching youtubers and actually having a real laugh. I find myself laughing at your videos ALOT. so thank you for your content and amazing humor. 10/10
So I was watching one of my favorite true crime/idiot interrogation videos and the channel creator mentioned how Chris James is one of the best at inserting humor into his videos. Or some kind of nice comment to that effect. That was a few weeks ago and I have been binging your videos since. And yeah, he was right - you are pretty fucking funny I think 1k ways to die has a rule that all of their writers must be high as shit before they go to work. Same rule for the casting people too.
They just got their actual HR rep, "Hey Steve can you stop dealing with the numerous sexual harassment lawsuits we have and come sit in front of this camera for thirty seconds?"
The two most concrete memories I have from this show are seeing it being aired in a restaraunt and seeing an episode about a nail in the ground stuck in a slip n' slide that ripped someone open straight up the front of thier body. It still makes me a little cautious of slip n' slides tbh.... oh and the one where a guy got hit right in the chest with a meteor in the middle of a meteor shower party.
I remember one episode involving a couple. They wanted to get intimate but they were too shy. So after a while they used alcohol to loosen up but once they got intimate, they both died due to heart attacks or somthing similar
Not gonna lie, I used to watch this show a lot as a kid, and I somewhat liked it for some odd reason. That all changed when I saw this one episode where a mime took a bite out of a pickle and ended up choking to death on it while people were standing by and laughing at him. That one episode scarred me mentally, and since then I rarely ever watched 1000 Ways To Die ever again. And this was like 10-11 years ago.
Kinda surprised that saying "die" would get a video age restricted, considering it's the one thing that i think almost every video game ever made has in common, and last i checked there are gaming youtubers, quite a few of them actually.
Chris thanks for the videos man its your boy danny beans showing some support!

Don’t be ashamed, nostalgia is nostalgia, you can’t control it. The hooker in your crawl space is what you should be ashamed of
I remember this one where it's like Thanksgiving or something, and this dude gets hit in the nose by a frozen turkey
It was a fun show in some way. Too bad it was all made up.
Nothing wrong with liking the show, just don't take the segments at face value.
All I remember is seeing an episode as a child where a dude is in the hot tub, sits on something, and suddenly his insides are ripped out
That is also in Final Destination

I loved and love "1000 ways to die". I loved how they dissected how that person died in that particular case which this content creator don't know why cut(👎) and I dont get the hate.
I hope they re aired the old episode or someone can pls tell me where can I watch them in streaming ?
I'm amazed by some comments: people saying they're ashamed they liked the show, people try enjoy an old episode without listening to a random youtuber telling you how you should feel regard one thing or another. It's not the first time I see this. Have a little bit of self esteem
Yeah, there was even an episode where they interviewed a motorcyclist who almost died from getting run over by a truck but a few of his friends died. Stuff like that made it way more believable.
The episode where the guy died from sniffing his own shit was super believable 😆
this channel has everything! snippets of crazy shows, nostalgia, witty sarcastic humor that is actually funny. this pleases me.
The only good show Spike TV has is Blue Mountain State
@@youngstud214 agreed, just discovered that show thanks to a coworker. I should've emphasized TH-cam channel, I wouldn't watch spike unless I was trying to give myself the closest thing to a lobotomy that I can get
Because your frontal lobe hasn't been developed yet
@@oOneenOoNo original thoughts no
16:50 plot twist, the axe was the one purposely giving him to many beers to get him drunk so he would make mistakes
As a person with anxiety, this show messed me up T_T)/ Also thanks for these videos man. I've been binging them over the past couple days since I found your channel. They're all amazing.
Maybe this is because I like dark stuff but this is one of my favorite shows growing up. It was kind of interesting to see different ways how people die and to make it unique it had some dark humor in it
Exactly
Same, I like this show. Me and my mom both, while my brother was afraid of this show lol
ya, it had some deaths that were just a bit obscure and not so well known that some of them would b sort of important info or at least interesting. lol

Peeps try enjoy an old episode without listening to a random youtuber telling you how you should feel regard one thing or another. Stand by what you like. Have a little bit of self esteem
Plus it had some pretty cool information in it. Like the fact that the human ribcage can withstand up to 600 pounds of pressure. Also. It’s narrated by Ron Pearlman. What’s not to love?
Although I will admit that some deaths freaked me out. Like what happened to Connie on the plane. If you know… You know…
Ron Perlman was the perfect narrator for the show and always will be. His jokes and insults were perfect and fit the vibe of the show.
I remember being addicted to this show during the early 2010’s and I don’t regret it.
Same

Same.. but mostly the ranchy deaths
Does anyone remember the episode where a dude was running away from the cops or something and crawled into a hole and got eaten alive by rats? Traumatized me as a kid lol
YES! That one and the dude accidentally hanging himself during basketball are permanently etched into my mind
When I was a child (probably 6-7 years old) my big sister had full control over the remote and I had to watch whatever she felt like watching, so I spent a LOT of time watching this show, and it still has an effect on me as a 22 year old woman.
On the positive side, I'm terrified of taking mind-altering drugs because of the episode where a dude dove headfirst into a pool during an acid trip, and I grew to be an incredibly cautious child because I was incredibly aware of how easy it could be to die, but I also have incredibly detailed intrusive thoughts and I think watching this show is the biggest reason for that. It's like my brain is constantly looking for ways I could possibly die at any given moment and it's incredibly distressing when you're constantly imagining the most likely death scenarios. I'll just be living my life like a normal human and my brain is like "hey, just so you know, if you were to slip and fall at exactly the right angle, your skull will hit that countertop and it's game over for you" or "try not to trip too close to that fence, you will most definitely be impaled right through the heart by a wooden post"
My brain turns the most mundane of tasks into a literal horror movie and it's exhausting
Oh cool to know I'm not alone in suffering this exhausting background task that never stops running in my brain😅😭(and that's just one of MANY)
I actually found this video cause I randomly remembered the show having a huge impact on my anxiety when I was 7 (im 22 now). already my grandpa had died that year which made me hyperaware of the permanence of death and the fact that everyone I cared about would be gone someday forever, but then my dad started watching this show a lot and it freaked me the fuck out. i became constantly terrified of not just myself but anyone i knew going anywhere or doing anything, even eating became scary to me. i eventually learned to cope (sorta) but i relate a lot to what you said, every moment being an opportunity for something horrific and all
Whoa, the gore and suggestive content in the show didn’t weird you out or anything?
Literally me
Yess and thats why i also try to death proof my parents house
My dogs dont wear collars inside my home incase of anything, theyre not accidentally hooked on something and etc
You made this make sense soo well
What I remember most about this show was how many of the deaths were just people swallowing something and choking on it.
There were so many choking fatalities that every episode I watched I was asking "what are they choking on today?"
DIC
in that way i think there was 1 surprise, a country girl choking to death on a fish she almost caught. also the most interesting fact i remember the show that fish scales can b like razor blades.
People choking to death or near death is surprisingly common
@@soldier9618 or shaved carrots
ahh the carrot dildo
I remember being in high school and watching this show late at night, and then not being able to sleep from panicking about how easily I could die. Lol
Literally the same 😅🤣
I'd watch it for the hot chicks but usually I'd end up scared af asking God to not let me die like that.
@@alexjonesbones4753 😂
*Still could die*
Glad to know I wasn’t the only one that got paranoid because of it😅😅
The fact that she kept pulling the trigger on a semi auto gun as if it were uncontrollable is hilarious
My fear of dying from asphyxiation came from watching this show as a kid. Almost Every episode showed someone choking or drowning
I watched this show too much as a teen to have forgotten it, it's almost like a weird fever dream. I realise now that they probably made everyone seem horrible so that we wouldn't feel so bad watching them comedically tell stories based on supposedly real deaths.
The deaths on this show always seemed far fetched, though I found out nearly 99% of the deaths were actually based on REAL deaths that were changed with creative liberties to "protect the identities of the deceased".
But one death that always gave me nightmares... The tarp slip'n slide. I actually did that with a friend when I was a kid and after watching that episode I garnered a fear of using tarps for slip'n slides without checking for nails.
What happened?
@@patrickwillis13 That day was uneventful, but about a month later I saw the episode and that's where I contracted the fear, as well as a slightly darker hindsight.
@@Blitzkrieg_Wolf sorry I meant the episode
@@patrickwillis13 Oh, so some young couple snuck into a backyard with a swimming pool that was under construction and decided to pull out a tarp to use as a slip n' slide. What they failed to notice was the single 4" nail sticking out in the middle of the tarp... the guy went belly first and disembowled himself into the pool.
Fun fact, Jennifer Lawrence plays the girlfriend in that death clip but she is uncredited. Watch it again I’m serious ;)
I loved this show for what it was! Delightfully schlocky, over-the-top in every way and that made it totally watchable!
Same

the way ppl need to rate and see things these days. too much comparing, u gotta see something for what it is b4 u rly rate it. many ppl say this and that is shit but rly its a 6 or 7 and just not the best, the top 100 somethings ever made. something shouldnt have to b compared and ranked and b a 9 or 10 minimum. as long as u like it who cares. some :)
6:47 That's not always true. There was one story about a Japanese married couple who stayed celibate with one another for the 7 years of marriage they were in, literally having panic attacks every time they tried, until one day when they finally consummated their union they both died of heart attacks. I don't think their intention was to make that couple dumb. And yes it is based on an actual story.
Wow... I wonder why they were so nervous.
Sometimes you don't have to try to make people sound dumb. Sometimes the people do that all on their own. I can't fathom being too nervous to do what humans have literally been doing since complex multi celled organisms first began to propagate via heterosexual contact. Dude if two absolute fucking idiot tweaker can do it, there is no excuse for anyone that has the physical working parts
@@hahano9586 Actually I have a lot more sympathy for them and those who come from places and cultures where celibacy and "purity" is put in a pedestal. Where sex is treated as dirty, sexual dysfunction is a real consequence.
@@joshuaokoro-sokoh2993 But hey, that's your opinion and if you want to he a Virgin or whatever thats your prerogative. Just don't judge others for it
The blurry genitals man. It'll make you anxious
It's funny how Final Destination-esque all the deaths are, considering The Finale Destination had similar x-ray death scenes
Dude the little running jokes or skits or whatever you call them that you do throughout an video are just sooo good. Simple but effective
I recently rewatched this show and honestly it’s still really funny to me. I think for me it fills that sort of morbid interest many people have with stuff like true crime but less morally fucked/exploitative that true crime can be.
The fact that they change the stories and mainly only use the deaths makes you feel a bit better since they’re not exploiting a real person most of the time and they don’t use real names.
Also the shitty acting makes it so funny
There was an episode I watched where they had a "doctor" explain how buck shot at point blank range is lethal.
And it was awesome!
Was it the doctor from deadliest warrior ?
The one with the sleepwalking insomniac?
Even watching it on cable I knew it was one of those guilty pleasure shows 😅 Thanks for covering this one, Chris!
I remember an episode of about a performer who did sword swelling but with an umbrella, and during his trick he died when he accidentally presses the release button, causing the umbrella to open inside him. Neat show
This show was lit. I remembered when I was only 9 and my friends would binge watch the marathons. And this show has taught me more about the science behind the deaths than my science teachers
Can’t forget about scare tactics! I was obsessed with that show but this… As a 23 year old, I still vividly remember the industrial dryer, puddle/lamp post lady, and the human bubble episodes… the trauma 😭
I just want to say dude congratulations bro you're almost at a 100 K subs you have been blowing up past few months you absolutely deserve it too you put a lot time in effort in your videos and you're super funny.
There's actually a Wikipedia article that compiles a list of unique deaths, Spike got the idea from the show from there. I'm not exactly sure what the article is named but I usually get there by looking up "girl penetrated by huge toy" so you can try that.
Right 🙄🤣
Even as a kid I could tell how low budget the show was but I loved it, made me feel like it was extremely easy to accidentally die. Also found it interesting how they always found an excuse to make things sexual or make fun of the person dying, weird show and weird era of TV.
6:37 why did they have the fire alarm handle In The Room thst was gonna be flooded with unbreathable gas? Thst seams like a designe flaw
Anyone remember the 1000th way to die? I do it was literally just passing away from old age it was kinda wholesome after all the gruesome/silly things they just have passing away as one of them.
0:27 when he shows that screenshot of old MTV dating shows, that's my buddy Danny and his mom in the top right box. Bringing back some long lost memories lmao
9:10 "filming hot babes shooting guns which damn why didn't I think of that" same bro if I wasn't afraid of women lol. That genuinely sounds pretty cool
I watched an episode of a thousand ways to die when I was around 14 and it scared me half to death. Its the episode where a dude is working on his car and as he's finishing up he slides down his driveway through one of those street cleaners. It was really unerving.
I remember that
I remember there was an episode where a guy used to do a prank on his new hires where he'd run into his reinforced office window... long story short they changed the window without him knowing
No the window was just very weak and popped out
@g-forcefgt323 no the window wore out with time and it finally gave out
Gary hoy i belive is what that death is based on
No, the series nerfed the window so it can shatter.
In real life it actually popped out of the frame.
Why they didn't keep that I'll never know.
This show used to mess up my mind, does anyone remember the death where that old guy tries to "be a fish" so he makes a latex suit and has a heat stroke before he could reach the ocean? That one traumatized me so bad I had nightmares.
🤣🤣 omg I remember that. Hilarious lol
@@sebastianmichalak3183 THAT ONE FUCKED ME UP FOR LIFE AKKDBFEHSUJAAJ
What the Fuck?
I must have missed that one
Oh yeah "Wet Dream" 😂😅
Just found your channel, and I'm so happy! You are the only reaction channel that literally makes me laugh out loud. Thanks for the awesome content!
CodyKo I mean he's a clone of him, however just as funny.
@@elboydo how did you know?
My dad used to watch this. I would get out of bed and sneak behind the couch to watch T.V. And watching this show traumatized me but watching this vid and the other vid is low key therapy lmao
Ahhh yes my elementary days. Pretty much every kid in my class was obsessed with this show back then 🤣
And we made sure we don’t die these way or do stupid things like these people
I used to watch this in middle-school.
my mom hated seeing me watch that show, but there was nothing she could do about it
My dad couldn't stop me from watching it either. That's mainly because I've never met him... But at least I had this show.
@@neonicon8500 bahahaha I watched it with my dad in middle-high school and we would just make fun of it
@@clamcrewcarclub6017 Must be nice 🥲
My mom used to watch this with me and my sisters. It was family viewing 🤣
Same here and my dad would watch it with me as well.
I remember this show, it was quite funny. The puns at the end of every death did it for me. Also, sorry for being "that guy" but at 5:03 its Carbon Dioxide. Although both can be lethal (CO & CO2) depending on the concentration, CO is not use in fire extinguishers. Thanks for another video Chris
The fact that we were allowed to say Die on tv an now people are afraid of videos being taken down.
I'm still willing to watch this show, the cartoonish behavior and re-enactments are fantastic it's like watching a bunch of short stories with soap opera actors/actresses 😊
1000 ways to die scared the SHIT out of me as a kid, still does tbh 💀
Bruhhh that shit felt so REAL as a kid ! You ain’t the only one it’s all good 🙌🏾
This show fueled so much anxiety for me 😂😂😂 it caused me to imagine all the wild ways I could die in one day 😂😂😂
1000 Ways to Die had to be one of the better Spike shows simply because you knew EXACTLY what you were getting just from the name. The only thing that would make this show more obvious is if it was called The Darwin Awards, which is honestly where I think they got all their stories.
I loved this show back then. I just wish I’d seen Horrible Histories before so I could have sung Dumb Ways while watching it.
I really love your videos and actually get some decent laughs from your jokes. Much more than that the snoz snort.
The doubting Spike TV has an HR department comment not only made me nose huff in amusement but make a small "heh" sound also. Congratulations, you've successfully done something 90% of the comedy content I watch hasn't made me do. I'm used to watching stuff in public or around others or at night when I need to be quiet so I don't often make any noise despite being incredibly entertained and laughing inside my head. 😊
I ain’t gonna lie I was a kid when I first saw this show. Scared the shit out of me. I watch the squid one where the dude ate a squid and died and I honestly believe it’s possible and I couldn’t handle the thought of dying that way😂😂😂
Lol same here
I watched the one where the guy made a motion activated robot with spinning blades and now I walk faster in the dark
@@jojofox4566 I know which one you’re talking about😭😭😭
It was an octopus
that episode of those 2 emo's kissing from cars then getting decapitated by a forklift traumatized my 8 year old brain.
At 31 you are the first youtuber i have EVER turned on notifications for, and im glad i did it. Your sense of humor and observations are still one of my all time favorites now, you have made the SAME joke i say in my head when i see the clip and it trips me out. You are the shit 😎
I remember how crazy this show was. You could tell when they really thought a death was over the top or that the victim deserved it. Also Spike TV was always on the TVs at this one vocational school I went to. I should probably talk about that in a video. Spike TV was just as memorable and I have to say I'm glad I remember most of the stuff that was on there. Good times.
I loved this show growing up. I’ll never forget the episode where a lawyer dies from self-defenestration. The bad pun at the end still makes me holler “habeas corpse”😂😂😂
It’s Chase from GMM! So glad I found your channel Chase!
I’ve done the nostril-exhale thing at least like four times by the point you mentioned it, cheers
Spike TV doctor's be like: the residents died of a fire which was too hot for their bodies.
"When an object gets stuck in your throat, you can't breathe."
I remember watching the show when I was younger and always looking up the actual death to see how 'real' it was and made that connection that Spike loved to make everyone who died either an asshole or idiot or "deserving" of what came to them.
The first season was very different. It was less dramatized and ended with one person surviving something they shouldn't have.
I guess people weren't interested in that and wanted to watch the person dying being an asshole.
@@phabiorules I think it was just decided to make them horrible people so the audience could stomach the deaths easier
@@bigbearkat2010 This. I remember one death (I think where a person guts were sucked out by the pool?) the actual victim was a child. No one wants to see that.
@@deathcon6261 agreed. i can barely stomach the idea after reading ur comment. saw the episode and would feel bad for a serial killer going out like that. for me its 1 thing for a pos to survive something like that something completely different for any1 to die like that imo.
I was not in Spike TV’s target demographic, but I watched this show and there were a couple of episodes that scared me enough to make me extra paranoid 😅
i remember watching this with my mom every time it’d come on and it increased my paranoia by so much
same as my pops...made me watch this and final destination1..made me didn't wanna leave the house for a while lol
I googled a lot of the deaths and they actually happened. Maybe not exactly as portrayed but they happened.
Chris... This channel is pure GOLD. The genius of using the same shows repeatedly and still making it interesting and funny... You sir have the magic touch, EPIC commentary 👌Oh, and please never stop using the Spike Dr's
" do you have a vendors license to be selling this citrus?!" 🤣
I feel like Spike TV was the personification of "Do a line of coke and then throw stuff at the drawing board and see what sticks" energy...
Come to find out, 1000 Ways to Die had some serious legal issues throughout its tenure, because a number of people who were friends/family of the deceased portrayed and either watched or heard about the specific thing portrayed, sued because 1000 Ways to Die took serious liberty with the incident, and often ended up tarnishing the character of many victims of, essentially, accidents.
1000 ways to die was terrifying but also GOAT'ed
You usually get me to fully laugh out loud not just a nose exhale, thanks for all the hilarious videos
I’m not ashamed of admitting that I loved this show, it was funny In a morbid way
1000 Ways To Die was so scary to me as a kid 😂
TH-cam Expert: You see, when a person sits in front of a camera, does some interesting stuff, edits it all together into one video, and then uploads it to TH-cam, people get to watch it.
ok so i just came across this channel and honestly. i love your content. i binge watched so many videos. i rarely find myself watching youtubers and actually having a real laugh. I find myself laughing at your videos ALOT. so thank you for your content and amazing humor. 10/10
So I was watching one of my favorite true crime/idiot interrogation videos and the channel creator mentioned how Chris James is one of the best at inserting humor into his videos. Or some kind of nice comment to that effect. That was a few weeks ago and I have been binging your videos since. And yeah, he was right - you are pretty fucking funny
I think 1k ways to die has a rule that all of their writers must be high as shit before they go to work. Same rule for the casting people too.
Always a great day when Chris uploads!
They just got their actual HR rep, "Hey Steve can you stop dealing with the numerous sexual harassment lawsuits we have and come sit in front of this camera for thirty seconds?"
I’m cracking up at the aggressive edits of the doctors talking about how they died 😂. Also glad to see Chris’s channel start gaining more followers
Your personality in these videos and your video background is really calming
I remember loving this show. It has aged like....not well. Also the fact that the UK version had a different VA than Ron Perlman.
this was the one show I always watched on spike Im excited to see a new video about it from Chris James. think he'll cover Silent Library?
The two most concrete memories I have from this show are seeing it being aired in a restaraunt and seeing an episode about a nail in the ground stuck in a slip n' slide that ripped someone open straight up the front of thier body. It still makes me a little cautious of slip n' slides tbh....
oh and the one where a guy got hit right in the chest with a meteor in the middle of a meteor shower party.
I remember one episode involving a couple. They wanted to get intimate but they were too shy. So after a while they used alcohol to loosen up but once they got intimate, they both died due to heart attacks or somthing similar
That was Way to Die #001/Ichiboned
Spike was simply a different breed
I work in a bakery and bread mixers like that have a cage so that accidents like that can't happen lol love your content man ❤
They definitely took liberties with personalities. The episode where a flight attendant gets sucked out of a plane comes to mind
My favourite one has to be when Dr. ER's wife converts a toilet into a cannon and launches her bully into space
There was a teacher I always wanted to see on that show. I am still mad about her throwing a full backpack at my head!
With that super hero one, all I could hear was Edna Mode shouting “NO CAPES!”
Not gonna lie, I used to watch this show a lot as a kid, and I somewhat liked it for some odd reason.
That all changed when I saw this one episode where a mime took a bite out of a pickle and ended up choking to death on it while people were standing by and laughing at him.
That one episode scarred me mentally, and since then I rarely ever watched 1000 Ways To Die ever again.
And this was like 10-11 years ago.
Kinda surprised that saying "die" would get a video age restricted, considering it's the one thing that i think almost every video game ever made has in common, and last i checked there are gaming youtubers, quite a few of them actually.
