** Many of them don't even get the concept of dying until ''[[YourHeadAsplode that]]'' clip from ''Film/{{Scanners}}'' is shown. [[AesopAmnesia Then they promptly forget it]]. Kayaba has to keep the clip tabbed.
** The following several months of playing the game see several players die from their own stupidity, including standing in a fire, motionless. Kirito's internal monologue narrator complains about this.
--->'''Narrator:''' A month had passed since that fateful day. When everyone's world got all twisted, leaving them stranded in a castle in the sky. Since then, 2,000 poor souls came to an abrupt and tragic end. Some by bad luck, others by sheer stupidity. I mean, really, ''why would you just stand in fire!?''
** During a battle with a floor boss, one of the squad groups was playing ''Bejeweled''.
** They believe "[[ZergRush group up and hit it till it dies]]" is a viable strategy with no additional nuance, which leads to large body counts.
** Kayaba Akihiko cannot help but vent his frustrations to a captive audience.
--->"I tried, you know? Lord knows I tried. But there's just no helping you people. It's like you crave death! But not just any death! Nooooo! You fuckers seem to have some sort of pool going to see who can end their existence in the dumbest, most avoidable way possible! And you just keep one-upping each other! Do you know how many of you have died screaming 'LeeroyJenkins'?! ''More than zero!'' Which, as far as I'm concerned, is grounds to exterminate the species!"

* {{Satire}}: In addition to parodying the source material, the series also satirizes the video game industry and its questionable practices. For example, the very first joke in the series mocks game companies that aggressively force adverts in players' faces and use micro-transactions to extort money for features that should be in the game from the beginning (such as, in this case, removing the ads).
