History WebAnimation / FiftyWaysToDieInMinecraft

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** If your warehouse is destroyed multiple times through [[LethallyStupid sheer idiocy]], there's a ''very'' low chance that you'll be able to get insurance on it. This goes double if your warehouse is for containing something as volatile and destructive as TNT.
** Death 43 in part 5 is caused because a bunch of wooden fence poles are incapable of holding up a thick slab of concrete.
** Death 15 in part 6: [[PreMortemOneLiner Pre-Mortem One-Liners]] are useless if they're too long and [[TalkingIsAFreeAction you aren't given enough time to finish saying them]].
** Death 2 in part 8 shows why you shouldn't be drinking milk straight from the cow without pasteurizing it first.
** Death 9 in Part 9 has the Gingerbread Man attempt to invoke this by swimming in water to evade a polar bear. [[SubvertedTrope He finds out the hard way that]] [[WrongGenreSavvy water doesn't slow down polar bears in]] ''[[WrongGenreSavvy Minecraft]]''.
** Death 22 in the Christmas edition shows that traveling at the speed needed to deliver 10 billion presents in one night would kill you.
** Death 23 in the Christmas edition: Your body will ''not'' react well to you eating one to many sweets.
** Death 47 in the Christmas edition: Mistreating your employees ''will'' eventually lead to them revolting.
** The Fairy Tale edition ''loves'' this trope:
*** Death 4: The witch's gingerbread house attracts [[BearsAreBadNews bears]] as well as children.
*** Death 11: Said gingerbread house collapses in the rain.
*** Death 13: The smallest billy goat gruff tries to keep the bridge troll from eating him by claiming his bigger brother will be coming the troll's way. The troll points out that [[TakeAThirdOption he can just eat both of them]].
*** Death 14: The protagonist of ''The Tinder Box'' tries to [[OneLastSmoke create a scenario]] before his execution where he can use said tinder box. Instead, the executioner lights his pipe for him.
*** Deaths 18, 19, & [[BrickJoke 25]]: By destroying all the spinning wheels in the kingdom, the king from ''Sleeping Beauty'' has deprived the tailors of their income and ''everyone'' of some sorely-needed clothes come winter. When the Big Bad Wolf shows up in the village, he is promptly mobbed by the whole half-frozen population and stripped of his warm fur.
*** Death 22: Dressing up as some scary monster and accosting someone who has had bad encounters with said monster will get you hurt or shot via [[UsefulNotes/{{Trigger}} PTSD-induced panic]].
*** Death 23: Rumpelstiltskin tries to waltz in and take the first son of the girl he helped, only for her guards to kill him on the spot.
*** Death 28: When asked who's the most beautiful of them all, the Magic Mirror [[LogicBomb breaks]] because the term is completely subjective.
*** Death 29: The protagonist of ''The Tinder Box'' discovers the hard way that killing your girlfriend's parents [[UnstoppableRage is not a good idea]] at ''all''.
*** Death 30: A double-whammy. Cinderella's glass slippers break when she jumps on them too hard. Not only that, but the wound becomes infected and she dies of sepsis.
*** Deaths 37 through 41: The fairy puts everyone in the kingdom to sleep at the same time as Sleeping Beauty, causing a ''lot'' of accidental deaths as a result.
*** Death 47: A non-death example: Mickey attempts to sue Jake Eyes for using Pinocchio in Death 46. An employee tells him that they can't sue him, as the original ''Pinocchio'' story is in the public domain, meaning Disney does not own it.
*** Death 48: The wolf averts WhyDontYaJustShootHim with a vengeance, eating Little Red Riding Hood the moment he sees her.
*** One that was mentioned in the "Forgotten Fables" video: Reading a heartwrenching story to your kid is bound to scar them for life, especially if the story in question has an equally tragic ending (in this case, ''Literature/TheSteadfastTinSoldier''). [=BlondWolfGirl=]'s grandmother finds this out the hard way when her grandchild gets so upset from the story that she's DrivenToSuicide.
** The Halloween edition also plays with this one a couple times:
*** Deaths 3 and 55: Always be wary of whatever people wear on Halloween. For example, that Mystery Inc group you're trying to scare might actually be the local milita, and that baby you stole from? He might just be a Yakuza member trick-or-treating as a baby.
*** Deaths 28 to 30: [[TooDumbToLive It's a]] ''[[TooDumbToLive very]]'' [[TooDumbToLive bad idea]] to make a YourMom joke near the home of a very well-known serial killing mama's boy.
*** Deaths 36 and 43: These two showcase how short Literature/TheInvisibleMan would be if the police decided to just kill Griffin on the spot after revealing his secret, and the fact that being invisible is not a good way to achieve world domination. [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 The Pyro]] sort of blanks out the second one being a NonSequitur gag.
*** Death 45: Haunted Mansions are very likely to contain termites.
*** Death 49: Killing the girlfriend of a very well-known hero will ''not'' end well for you.
** Death 50 in Part 12 has the Fisherman, who is having a heart attack, blow up an incoming ambulance to avoid becoming homeless (a jab at American Healthcare bills) ...which results in him immediately dying on the streets, as he now has no way to get his heart attack treated.
** Death 40 in Part 13 shows that [[LowClearance low bridges]] are just one of the many reasons why car surfing is not the best of ideas.
** Deaths 12, 20, 26, & 46 in Part 14: A bunch of drivers end up falling asleep after looking at a sheep farm, resulting in multiple cars driving through a rail guard and off of a cliff, with [=FinnTheWinn=], who was at the bottom of the cliff, getting killed at one point due to a car landing on him. When a construction worker tries to repair the rail guard, he ends up getting run over. While Brandon ''does'' manage to avoid this by jumping out of the car (his head rested on the car horn and woke him up), he then gets run over by another car because he was still on the street and [[TooDumbToLive made no attempt to get out of the way]].
** Death 32 in part 14: A dragon doesn't need a rider to breathe fire.
** Death 42 in part 14: Attempting to perform a maneuver meant to be done with planes in something as small as a grocery cart ''will'' get you hurt.
** Death 8 in part 15: Drinking too much water, say, 292 litres of it, can be fatal for you.
** Death 10 in part 15: [=SnakeTheJaik=]'s prank gone wrong from death 9 (accidentally naming the world "Dinnerbone") causes a lot of accidental deaths as a result.
** Deaths 41 through 43 in part 15 have Stu die due to NoOSHACompliance. Death 44 shows that this got the owner of the factories in legal trouble.
** As Forgotten Fables and part 15 show, laughing too hard can prove lethal, and could kill you since you don't have enough time to breathe in middle of laughing. [[spoiler:Rich Evans]] was lucky enough to survive this. Jake... not so much.

** Death 10: [=SnakeTheJaik=]'s prank gone wrong from death 9 (accidentally naming the world "Dinnerbone") causes a lot of accidental deaths as a result.

* AdaptedOut: Steve and Alex make no appearance whatsoever here. Vacation Steve does however make a few appearances, but implied to be entirely different from the regular. Lampshaded in Part 12s death 7, where a police officer kills someone with the Steve skin for wearing it in a high-crime area.

*** Death 30: Cinderella's glass slippers break when she jumps on them too hard, getting her killed when the wound becomes infected.

** And then another one in Part 13's Death 35; [=FeedMe=] is unfortunately struck with '''The Curse Of The Binding [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic My Little Pony]] Cosplay,''' causing him to jump into a pit of lava.

*** One that was mentioned in the "Forgotten Fables" video: Reading a heartwrenching story to your kid is ''not'' a good idea, especially if the story in question has an equally tragic ending (in this case, ''Literature/TheSteadfastTinSoldier''). [=BlondWolfGirl=]'s grandmother finds this out the hard way when her grandchild gets so upset from the story that she's DrivenToSuicide.

* LogicBomb: The Magic Mirror goes through one in Fairy Tale edition, as a result of the vain queen trying to reword her question to make sense.

* NotInFrontOfTheParrot: Two deaths in part 4 are caused this way; the first affecting an unfortunate pirate who happened to be complaining about the captain in front of his PirateParrot, and the second is affecting the parrot itself (which just flies away, so it doesn't actually count as a death).

'''Fred:''' [[UsefulNotes/LouisXIV King Louie the Fourteenth!]] [[labelnote:*]]Fred was actually thinking of [[UsefulNotes/LouisXVI Louie the SIXteenth.]][[/labelnote]]\\

* RubeGoldbergHatesYourGuts: Subverted; death 15 in part 3 has Stu ''try'' to do this, but the anvil is a block off from hitting the victim. Instead, he get blown up by a Creeper seconds after.

* TricksterGenie: Deaths 12 and 20 in the Fairy Tale episode come courtesy of one. In the first, a guy wishes for immortality. The genie grants the wish... to a nearby rabbit, preventing it from burning to death in lava, while the guy proceeds to jump off a cliff and die. Redstone Ned then asks the genie to make HIM immortal, which the genie reluctantly agrees to. Redstone Ned jumps into the same lava pool to test his new immortality, only to suddenly realize he's setting himself up for a FateWorseThanDeath. He then demands the genie to make him mortal again... while still standing in the lava pool. The genie tries to talk him out of it, but eventually acquiesces to his request. Subverted with the genie's third appearance, as Stu is too dumb to ask for anything other than sandwiches.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Too many instances to list, but the Gingerbread Man runs into this particular trope a lot.

* OffWithTheirHead: Death 23 in the Halloween episode. See ScoobyDooHoax below.

'''Fred:''' [[UsefulNotes/KingLouisXIV King Louie the Fourteenth!]][[labelnote:*]Fred was actually thinking of [[UsefulNotes/KingLouisXVI Louie the SIXteenth.]][[/labelnote]\\

* ScoobyDooHoax: The subject of Death 23 in the Halloween Episode. The Gang has captured a person dressed up as a creeper to scare people away from the TNT warehouse. Fred attempts to reveal the culprit's identity, but they superglued it to their face, resulting in the culprit's [[OffWithTheirHead accidental decapitation.]]

* BerserkButton: Do NOT brag about how good you are at video games in front of [[SoreLoser Brandon]]. [=NonStJon=] learned this the hard way.
