* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': Colette killing [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20170616 Beausoleil's many bodies about Paris is shown in a one page montage.]] And it's not in succession; the deaths of Beausoliel's many bodies is happening ''all at once''.
* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', [[spoiler:Vaarsuvius uses [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0639.html the Familicide spell]]]] to kill a lot of dragons. The deaths of said dragons is shown in a full-page-long montage with panels of gradually decreasing size. [[spoiler:It's probably just a tiny portion of all the dragons killed on that day]].

** Played for laughs to explain why wearing a cape will inevitably lead to a CapeSnag, and why Edna Mode is very, ''very'' adamant about her "NO CAPES!" policy. And to be clear, these are deaths. The database on every hero in the Special Features disc for the DVD does confirm they all died due to "Suit Malfunctions".

!!'''As a DeathTrope, may have unmarked spoilers ahead. Beware.'''

* Poor [[IronWoobie Batman]] suffers through this in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'''s LighterAndSofter AnimatedAdaptation of ''ComicBook/EmperorJoker''. Throughout this montage he gets [[DropTheHammer crushed by a giant hammer]], dropped into the AcidPool, [[KillItWithFire incinerated to ashes]] [[FireBreathingWeapon by a flamethrower]], ChainedToARailway and run over by a train, [[OffWithHisHead guillotined]], EatenAlive by a ThreateningShark, etc. And at each painful, comedic death he goes through, ComicBook/TheJoker brings him back to life only to kill him again. It is not until the Dark Knight gets worn out from all the deaths he endured that the new Clown Emperor decides not to kill him again, as his repeated killings start getting rather boring.

** From XXVI, the segment "Wanted: Dead, Then Alive": A few weeks after Sideshow Bob, Bart Simpson's ArchEnemy, has killed him with a HarpoonGun, the villain realizes that [[VictoryIsBoring it's not Bart's death that makes him happy]], and that he would be truly happy if he kills Bart again. To remedy this, he creates a Reanimator machine and uses it to bring his longtime ArchEnemy BackFromTheDead so he can kill him again, and again, and again, and again, in a manner worthy of the aforementioned ''Emperor Joker'' adaptation. And all of his methods are: [[DropTheHammer whacking him with a sledgehammer not once]] [[AmusingInjuries but many times]] [[RasputinianDeath in the manner of]] ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail''; [[BoomHeadshot blowing his head clean off]], [[FedToTheBeast feeding him to a lion]]; [[SquashedFlat squashing him flat with a steamroller]], [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill then folding him into a paper plane and throwing him into a]] DeadlyRotaryFan, [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill then picking up his pieces and]] [[BurnBabyBurn tossing them into a cremation furnace]]; handing him a [[ShockinglyExpensiveBill shockingly expensive electric bill]] for the Reanimator that induces a HollywoodHeartAttack; [[ImMelting liquefying him into juice]] (which has happened offscreen); and [[LudicrousGibs hacking him into pieces with an axe]] (also happened offscreen). [[SoundtrackDissonance And all of this is set to]] Music/ElvisCostello's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU_zMvaX05Q "Accidents Will Happen"]].

[[folder:Comic Book]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' has one when it is revealed that the boys are [[ReplacementGoldfish clones]], and have died over a dozen times before. Humorously, one of the deaths was a gas leak that hit while they were asleep, which is neither exciting to look at or interesting to hear about.

* Poor [[IronWoobie Batman]] suffers through this in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'''s LighterAndSofter AnimatedAdaptation of ''ComicBook/EmperorJoker''. Throughout this montage he gets [[DropTheHammer crushed by a giant hammer]], dropped into the AcidPool, [[KillItWithFire incinerated to ashes]] [[FireBreathingWeapon by a flamethrower]], ChainedToARailway and run over by a train, [[OffWithHisHead guillotined]], EatenAlive by a ThreateningShark, etc. And at each painful, comedic death he goes through, ComicBook/TheJoker brings him back to life only to kill him again. It is not until the Dark Knight gets worn out from all the deaths he endured that the new [[JustForPun Clown Emperor]] decides not to kill him again, as his repeated killings start getting rather boring.

* ''WebAnimation/50WaysToDieInMinecraft'' A bit self explanatory. Each episode is a prolonged montage of nonstop deaths, ranging from comedic, to realistic, to surprisingly dark, and much more.

** Treehouse of Horror XXXIII has Lisa gain a magic ''Manga/DeathNote'', and decides to kill off the executives of the {=GloboWarm=} corporation that want to accelerate global warming. The "Death Tome" can't do the same death more than once, and there is a huge number of executives, so there's a montage of them dying in increasingly ridiculous ways.

* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': Colette killing [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20170616 Beausoleil's many bodies about Paris is shown in a one page montage.]]

** In an indirect example, Once Mr. Incredible gets into Syndrome's database, he finds an entire list of superheroes, his old friends, that were brought to Syndrome's island just like he was... and the version of the [[HumongousMecha Omnidroid]] that killed them.
