** [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Discord]] is killed while laughing, as it's revealed that, knowing of his incoming demise, he pulled one over on [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Bill Cipher]] by trapping them both back in the Nightmare Realm, and thus saving Equestria and ending Weirdmageddon, turning Bill's victory over Discord into a pyrrhic one. For an added bonus, Discord will likely even come back to life after a time as it's implied he can never truly be killed as long as chaos exists, making even that meaningless.

That's because ''that'' one was TakingYouWithMe ComedicSociopathy.

** jayRiott suffers a horrifyingly realistic instance of this in a deleted death. When he wishes for the Genie to make him the funniest man on the internet, he slowly makes a hilarious (in his own way) sentence… that slowly devolves into manic laughter. One can even hear poor Jake trying to gasp for air as the screen gets greyer and the laughter becomes more desperate. Jake Eyes scrapped this death for being way more dark than he expected (as well as the likelihood of thousands of comments telling him that the joke wasn't that funny).

The way he kills [[TheHyena Dr. Hibbert]] is, fittingly enough, by causing him to laugh to death after suffocating his room with laughing gas.
