* ''Series/{{Victorious}}'': In "Tori Gets Stuck" Robbie picks up a bag of blood Tori just donated only to drop it causing it to explode and splatter the both of them. In fact, this very scene is the page picture for the show's [[Radar/{{Victorious}} copiously filled Radar page.]]

* Part of the ''Anime/AngelBeats'' charm, often in tandem with GallowsHumor. It helps that ImmortalLifeIsCheap is in full swing here... [[CessationOfExistence unless it's not]]. Then things like this are not [[TearJerker nearly so funny]].

* ''Film/TuckerAndDaleVsEvil'' is a horror-comedy DeconstructiveParody of the HillbillyHorror genre where the deaths are over-the-top and played for humor, both by the over-the-top nature of them and the fact that they're all the result of stupid accidents done by those who die.

* A serious moment during Negi's BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind in ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' used this as a quick gag when his HighPressureBlood went all over [[ButtMonkey Chisame]].

--->'''Helena''': [''in a room that looks like someone exploded''] Oh dear. So many stains to get out.

** A lot of Ennis' body of work falls into this. ''Comicbook/{{Hitman}}'' has its moments as well.

-->''(Tara's guts explode over Simba, Nala, and Haiba.)''

-->''(Haiba wipes a fragment of intestine from his muzzle.)''

-->''(Simba fiddles around with his mouth.)''

* [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/219016/zombons Zombons]] – a WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic fanfic runs on this trope. Examples include [[spoiler: zombie Sweetie Belle]] sucking [[spoiler: Apple Bloom's]] brain with a straw, Pound Cake ending up in a blender, or Rainbow Dash yelling at a zombie that she's going to rip his heart out and [[ExcrementStatement pee into]] [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment the left chamber]]. Then she does that, [[GoryDiscretionShot luckily offscreen]].

* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' has the Orks who ride this trope full stop, when they aren't being used as [[BloodKnight horrendous space-faring barbarians]]. That particular 'verse otherwise uses horrendous death to enhance the setting's GrimDark atomsphere.

* VideoGame/TheGame pretty much runs on this trope.
* The entire purpose of the Bloody Mess trait/perk in the ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series, and a good amount of combat besides. In ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'', even without the perk, a grenades or gunshots can blow limbs or faces off, and the first time a headshot [[OffWithHisHead shears a person's entire head off]] (or ''[[YourHeadAsplode blows it away]]''), it's rather grotesque. After a few times seeing [[LudicrousGibs eyeballs rain down]], though, it quickly launches into the humor category.
** In ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' Moira will eventually give you a chemical that was supposed to drive off molerats. Instead, their heads explode.

** ''Videogame/FalloutNewVegas'' brings us the Bloody Mess perk once again, and reinforces it with a generous amount of WreakingHavok and several new weapons with even more ridiculous end results, including old favorites like the {{Gatling|Good}} [[BeamSpam laser]] and new friends like the [[{{BFG}} anti-material]] [[SniperRifle rifle]]. It is possible to turn enemies into [[LudicrousGibs a collection of chunky paste]] with a single BB, and you haven't laughed until you've killed someone uphill of yourself and watched their [[EyesAreUnbreakable dismembered eyeballs]] bouncing downhill past you.

** ''VideoGame/{{Wasteland 2}}'', on the other hand, keeps the poetically brutal written descriptions while still utilizing its new 3D graphics engine to its fullest capability, allowing you to watch as an enemy's ''entire torso explodes from a critical hit, their legs staggering forwards before falling to the ground.''

* There was a tiny little game called [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_%27n_Bump Jump 'n Bump]], featuring ''very'' cute little rabbits that the players controlled. Very cute, until you realised the point of the game was [[GoombaStomp to jump on top of the other rabbits]], resulting in an explosion of bloody rabbit parts.

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* ''WebComic/SluggyFreelance'':

* Keisuke from ''WebComic/UndyingHappiness'' suffers all manner of gruesome injuries in his everyday life, but it's all PlayedForLaughs because he has [[HealingFactor powers of regeneration]].

* An old ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' sketch has Creator/DanAykroyd as Julia Child "cut the dickens out of [her] thumb," and subsequently bleed all over the set while trying to continue as though nothing had happened. As with most classic SNL, very funny.

* Even ''Disney'' isn't above making use of this kind of humor on occasion (albeit with [[AlienBlood purplish-colored goo and organs]] rather than red blood, but the spirit is much the same). There's a great joke in ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'' where, during the meeting of well-known video game villains at the Bad-Anon support group, a cybernetic villain [[LawyerFriendlyCameo who is obviously meant to be]] [[VideoGame/MortalKombat Kano]] gets a little too excited and performs his most famous Fatality on an unimpressed zombie. Yes, ''[[AndShowItToYou that]]'' fatality. It's hard to say which is funnier, Ralph's nauseated horror or the zombie [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction barely responding]] to having his heart torn out.

* ''LightNovel/HaiyoreNyarkoSan'', being an AffectionateParody of the Franchise/CthulhuMythos, indulges in this from time to time. Most often it's caused by Nyarko mercilessly slaughtering {{Mooks}}, while in the light novels and ''Nyaruani'' shorts it comes from [[{{Tsundere}} Mahiro]] stabbing Nyarko with a fork as punishment for bad behavior (the series these stabbings only produce [[AmusingInjuries comedic lumps]]).

* The final scene of the "Cops and Roger" episode of ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' involves Roger trying to escape from a crooked cop by climbing a hanging chain. When the guy tries to shoot him, Roger lets go of the chain and falls down, smashing the man's head with his elbow. [[LudicrousGibs His head explodes,]] [[SlowMotion which is then replayed]] ''[[SlowMotion twice]]'' [[SlowMotion in slow motion]] [[LudicrousGibs with details like ear wax oozing out of one side and an eyeball flying off.]]

* ''Manga/DropkickOnMyDevil'' usually has this happen to Jashin a lot when she pisses off Yurine. One of the earliest examples when she tries her dropkick only for Yurine to grab her and cut her tail in half, causing blood to squirt out like a fountain. [[GoodThingYouCanHeal A good thing Jashin has regeneration]].

** Helena's rather invasive means of curing Taizou's hangover: [[PsychicSurgery she sticks her hands in his belly and starts messing around]]. Along with detoxing his liver, she [[/folder]]

* ''ComicBook/Lanfeust'' and its spinoffs don't shy away from overly gory scenes, but they are very rarely played without a humorous, usually casually detached twist somewhere.

** Umm... ''everything'' in ''Film/PulpFiction'' related to IJustShotMarvinInTheFace. Marvin's brains end up splattered all over the back seat of the car, most notably a spectacular spray all over the rear windshield and ridiculous splashes on Vincent's face and the back of Jules' head. Then they head over to the home of Jules' friend Jimmy (played by Tarantino) to hide the corpse while covered in said corpse's blood. A bit of RealLifeWritesThePlot makes it even better; despite all that blood implying [[YourHeadASplode Marvin's head exploded]], Tarantino couldn't spring for a headless dummy on the film's budget, so he just gave Creator/PhilLaMarr a PrettyLittleHeadshots with makeup and lugged his body around, eyes rolled into the back of his head.

* ''Film/TuckerAndDaleVsEvil'' is a horror-comedy DeconstructiveParody of the HillbillyHorror genre where the deaths are over-the-top and played for humor, both by the over-the-top nature of them and the fact that they're all the result of stupid accidents done by those who die. The one seen in the trailer is when one of the teens, lunging at Tucker with a spear, winds up going head-first into a woodchipper when [[DeadlyDodging Tucker leans down to pick up more branches]], subsequently spraying ''another'' college student with the resulting gore.

Blood, as an indicator of injury and mortality, is something you don't want to see - unless the scene plays out in such a way that the gore [[CrossesTheLineTwice becomes the joke]], turning the gruesome display into hilarity.

* ''Film/{{UHF}}'' and the in-film Home Improvement TV show. ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toNsPh-pxgc Is my face red...]]''. Of course, in the end, ''It's Just a Flesh Wound''.

* Even ''Disney'' isn't above making use of this kind of humor on occasion (albeit with [[AlienBlood purplish-colored goo and organs]] rather than red blood, but the spirit is much the same). There's a great joke in ''Disney/WreckItRalph'' where, during the meeting of well-known video game villains at the Bad-Anon support group, a cybernetic villain [[LawyerFriendlyCameo who is obviously meant to be]] [[VideoGame/MortalKombat Kano]] gets a little too excited and performs his most famous Fatality on an unimpressed zombie. Yes, ''[[AndShowItToYou that]]'' fatality. It's hard to say which is funnier, Ralph's nauseated horror or the zombie [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction barely responding]] to having his heart torn out.

* Literature/TheBible gives us the tale of the Moabite tyrant Eglon (in the Literature/BookOfJudges). Now, Eglon was oppressing the Hebrews, and God sent the [[TheSouthpaw left-handed]] Judge of Israel Ehud to assassinate him. However, Eglon was [[AdiposeRex extremely fat]], and when Ehud stabbed the tyrant with a full-length sword, the thing got stuck in the fat and Ehud, try as he might, could not retrieve it. What's more, Eglon's servants were just outside--but they believed that Eglon's death groans and Ehud's grunts (from trying to pull out the sword) were simply the monarch attempting to relieve himself, so they left him alone. Reading this section usually leads to some laughter.

* In the commentary for ''Film/SleepyHollow'', Tim Burton admitted that he attempted to find as many opportunities as possible to have Johnny Depp's character sprayed in the face with blood.

* ''Film/ScaryMovie 5'': The movie features a chicken getting its head ripped off; the amount of blood that shoots out allows the housekeeper to paint a crucifix on the wall [[FunnyBackgroundEvent while the two main characters chat with each other, oblivious to the carnage behind them.]]

* ''Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera'' has 'Mark It Up', in which one half of the comic relief duo brutally stabs one of the women in his employ in the stomach for a minor offence. Throughout the scene, she's thrashing around, bleeding, choking, and dying in agony. Meanwhile, her murderer and his brother bicker in song over which of them will inherit their dad's company, throw human organs at [[HelloNurse scantily clad nurses]], and flirt with other women, who are apparently neither surprised nor concerned that one of their co-workers is dying at their feet. In fact, she goes completely ignored. This is widely considered to be the funniest scene in the movie.
