Individual examples:

• An episode of Almost Naked Animals centers around making Lovable Coward Octo ink the bed repeatedly. Audacious in its own right. The second line-cross comes when his friends realize that his ink stains are in their likeness, and Howie is just trying to get one in his likeness.
• Angela Anaconda:
  • For those who don't find the Imagine Spot sequences to make the title character Unintentionally Unsympathetic, you probably find the Humiliation Conga Angela imagines her Sitcom Arch-Nemesis Nanette Manoir going through to be these.
  • Sometimes, it's not even through an Imagine Spot. One episode has Angela, Gina, Gordy, and Johnny all look into their teacher's backyard to see them playing badminton naked. That itself is gross enough... but when Nanette walks in to thank her for getting them all out of her eyesight, and not realizing that her teacher's naked? FREAKING HILARIOUS.
• Animaniacs:
  • The Slappy the Squirrel skit "Soccer Coach Slappy" has the running gag of Skippy, a young boy squirrel who happens to be Slappy's nephew, getting hit with the soccer ball, resulting with him crying upon impact. At first, it's rather disturbing, but it gets funnier with each subsequent ball to the face, complete with Non Sequitur, *Thud*.
  • Another Slappy skit "Bumbie's Mom" has Skippy watching a Bambi Expy and getting traumatized when the mother is shot. It's sad yes, but his refusal to believe that it was just a movie (Slappy ends up introducing him to the actress who played the mother to prove it) and his bursting into hysterical tears at the very mention of the movie makes it funny. And when it gets resolved, the end of the episode shows them watching an Old Yeller Expy, which has the same result for Skippy. Even better is Slappy's interactions with the walrus woman complaining about Skippy's crying:
    Slappy: [to the walrus woman as she and Skippy leave the theater] One word and I'll put dynamite down your pants!
  • The pervy attention Minerva Mink gets in her cartoons would be creepy and disturbing if it weren't a cartoon. Every male in the vicinity leering at her is creepy. But their reactions are so exaggerated and over-the-top that it goes back to being funny.
• Aqua Teen Hunger Force:
  • It occasionally waddled into the deep end of the pool, killing Carl in horrible ways, turning him into an eyeball monster, or with horrific clones and grisly murders.
  • Then there's the episode in which Meatwad plays a video game that lets him contact the dead. Shake essentially gets mad that Meatwad is better at the game than him, so he kills himself in order to get into the game and beat him. The act of him doing so is an odd cross of funny and morbidness, and it crosses the line by explaining, in detail, all the horrible things he does to do it (he drowns himself in a pool of piranhas by drugging himself with sleeping pills and sticking a hose in his mouth connected to Carl's car's tailpipe). It then goes back to being funny after Carl completely disregards it (More concerned that Shake did it in HIS pool with HIS car's gasoline).
    Carl: Fryman, I am so sorry... that I won't be able to press charges.
    • [adult swim]'s bumper preceding this episode on its original air date lampshades this by stating "...Shake does a horrible thing."
• Archer could best be described as "Crosses The Line Twice: The Animated Series." A good chunk of the show's humor depends on this.
  • In-Universe example: a conversation between Jerkass secret agent Archer and his hilariously abusive mother Malory about his... habits:
    Archer: Don't you want a grandkid?
    Malory: Well if I did, I'd just scrape all of your previous mishaps into a big pile and knit a onesie for it.
    Archer: ...Jesus Christ!
  • And pops up again in Season 4, when Archer states that hearing that Lana went without sex for 2 years was the third-saddest thing he'd heard that day.
    Archer: Pam told me about a little girl who drowned trying to save a puppy.
    Lana: Jesus, what was the second saddest?
    Archer: The puppy drowned too.
  • And, hilariously enough, his reaction to the idea of his mother being dead. Or at least, Lana's reaction:
    Lana: "Jesus Christ, he's got an erection!
• Avatar: The Last Airbender:
  • Non-violent examples in the episode "The Ember Island Players":
    • When they are re-enacting Jet's death. Making fun of what is probably the most tragic on-screen event in the series where a Government Conspiracy kidnapped, brainwashed, and killed a teenager? Not funny. Representing his Brainwashed nature with wacky hair, hooks for hands, googly eyes, and droning "Must... serve... Earth King" while his death is depicted with a hollow rock prop falling on top of him that the actor fails to get into properly? Hilarious.
    • The flower in his mouth, or the actor's beer-belly. Zuko and Sokka's responses to the reenactment didn't detract from the funny either.
    • They made Zuko's Last Words Honor!
  • In "The Chase", due to rising tensions within the group due to a lack of sleep, Katara makes a comment about how beautiful the stars out, then makes a snide remark about Toph being unable to see them. The first thought being because she's in a stone tent, until you remember that Toph is blind and unable to see anything not touching the ground.
  • The fans' Ho Yay jokes about Aang and Gyatso. Usually squick, but when Chris Hansen gets involved... Two words from the same comic: "My CABBAGES!?"
  • The sequel series to Avatar, The Legend of Korra, has a case of this. The Earth Queen being suffocated onscreen, followed by mass riots all over Ba Sing Se? Terrifying. A guard in question helping the looters the next episode because he knows where the good stuff is? Hilarious.
• The very weird cartoon Avez-vous déjà vu... ? (Translation: Have you ever seen...?) has an episode called Une Fanfare Dans un Champ de Mines meaning "A marching band in a minefield". Suffice to say, it doesn't just cross the line twice, it repeatedly zig-zags across it.
• Batman:
  • The Batman: The Animated Series Joker generally didn't get much of a body count, but funnily blowing up empty buildings (like the hospital from The Dark Knight) was well within his reach, and in The Movie Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, he makes a few really funny one-liners while revealing that he tortured a child until his identity was broken and believed himself to be the Joker's son. Listing all the sociopathic hilarity that the Joker has unleashed on the world of comics would fill several pages this size.
  • The montage of Joker killing Batman a good dozen times in the "Emperor Joker" episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Death by crushing, acid, fire, sawblades, guillotine, sharks, spikes, train, electric chair...
• Bob's Burgers:
  • Louise's Child Molester Burger special.
  • Bob telling Gene that fat kids like him can't get molested.
  • In "Purple Rain-Union", Jen accidentally gives Tina a black eye. Louise's solution is to get everyone in the room to have black eyes.
  • A child calling their parent by their first name is usually considered rude as hell. Gene calling his mom Lin while doing a spot-on imitation of his dad? Surprisingly charming.
• The Boondocks has managed to milk comedy and pathos out of exorcisms, Prison Rape, blind people getting beaten up, and historical figures (namely Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.) using racist language and yelling at a crowd of black people over losing their way.
• Code Monkeys utilizes this with its pixel animation surprisingly well. To give just one character example, Mr. Larrity associates "orphanage" with "arson" and his reply to potentially life-threatening choices is often a simple "Don't care!". To say nothing of the eight wives he's had killed and/or stuffed, most certainly for inheritance reasons.
• The Crumpets: In "Road Stories", when Caprice Crumpet and her Granny are scamming a world voyage for a reality TV game show, they kidnap their neighbor Ms. McBrisk, who spotted them with her stolen begonias. The two Crumpets later find Caprice's adult brother Grownboy and a bunch of stolen zoo pink penguins who were hiding in the women's Hippie Van hideout. Once the police arrives and the Crumpets' crimes are uncovered, Caprice attempts to redeem themselves by delivering a speech on live TV, saying they kidnapped the penguins to stop animal cruelty. Once she's finished, one of the penguins hugs Caprice and gets thrown to the van by her. This lands Caprice and the others (including the penguins for some odd reason) in prison.
• Danny Phantom himself does this an awful lot. Most notable: him sneaking out of the girl's locker room while being intangible. Twice.
• Drawn Together: Basically the whole point. An example is in Captain Hero's childhood montage where he falls off of his training bicycle and scrapes his leg in a stereotypically childish manner. When he reveals his "scrape", it turns out that a chunk of his leg is missing. His mom's reaction? Kissing it.
• DuckTales (2017): Glomgold does this in "The 87 Cent Solution!". Crashing your enemy's funeral to gloat would normally be in pretty poor taste. Crashing your enemy's funeral in a white sequined suit and dollar sign-shaped shades, blasting DJ Khaled's "All I Do is Win", throwing money around like you're at a strip club, and twerking in the direction of his corpse, cackling maniacally and gloating all the while? Now it's funny.
  Glomgold: Owlson! Help me up onto his casket so I can dance on it!
• Frisky Dingo: In the premiere of the second season, Taqu'il has gotten in hot water for releasing an album entitled "Ballocaust." The cover has him wearing an SS-themed basketball jersey and cap while holding a basketball emblazoned with a swastika as well as a chain around the neck of a bald woman wearing a bikini modeled after Nazi death camp uniforms. Taqu'il's (Jewish) lawyer doesn't help fix the problem.
  Taqu'il's Lawyer: I see a celebration of life, like Hoop Dreams or Finding Forrester. Maybe they're going to find Forrester!...In Poland.
• Invader Zim employs this trope for almost everything the titular character does.
  • For example, stealing a major organ from each of his classmates in order to perpetuate his Masquerade is horrifying, but stealing too many organs and becoming a ridiculously bloated blob of stolen organs to the point where an intestine rolls out of his mouth like a tongue is hilarious.
  • And then he gets interrogated on his anatomy...
    Dib: ...spleen?
    Zim: Three different colors.
  • "I love you, cold unfeeling robot arm!"
  • And Zim's abandonment of the blob-creature from "Abducted"...
• Korgoth of Barbaria frequently demonstrates that it is one of the most violent and gory cartoons ever made (some of the violence puts even shows like Happy Tree Friends and Elfen Lied to shame). Over the course of the pilot episode, at least 20 characters are brutally killed in comically over the top, graphic, and creative ways.
• The Lion Guard has a small Running Gag in which "Mama Binturong" ends up getting farted on by Bunga, to the point where she says "Oh no! Not Bunga!" in another episode. However, one episode details Bunga and Binga doing it to her at once — and it's actually really funny.
• The Loud House:
  • In "The Sweet Spot", when Lincoln is figuring out who should sit near him so that they won't ruin the best seat in the family van on a family trip, he has several flashbacks about how much his sisters ruined every other trip for him, one of them being Lori getting carsick and vomiting on Lincoln... and snapping a picture of the result.
  • The destruction of Fenton the Feel-Better Fox in "The Crying Dame". In-Universe, this is a dramatic moment, as it means that the siblings won't be able to bring it back to Lily to cheer her up. However, the way its destruction is amped up (it's dropped in a machine, then crushed, then one of its eyes springs, then it catches on fire) makes the scene darkly hilarious.
  • In "City Slickers", Lincoln and Lori are heading to the city where their respective love interests Ronnie Anne and Bobby have moved, and Lincoln is excited to spend the day with Ronnie Anne, he even imagines what'll happen: Having pie shoved into his pants, getting pantsed on the big screen, and getting pushed out of a train they were on. What's more is that Lincoln is actually expecting it out of enjoyment.
    Lincoln: [sighs dreamily] I've missed her.
• Monkey Dust lives (or rather lived) off this trope what with the suicides, pedophile jokes, drugs abuse and random sex scenes in it. Most people never managed to cross the line a second time.
• The Mr. Bean Animated Adaptation has way too many instances of this:
  • "Scaredy Bean" shows Mr. Bean watching the horror movie The Glob and seeing the titular Blob Monster sucking an old lady into its mouth. When he gets over it, the monster burps out the lady's bones, making him run out in hysterics.
  • A similar case in "Hopping Mad" sees a mutated frog catch an owl with its tongue. Then later, one of the frogs spits out the owl's skull, once again horrifying Bean.
  • "Nurse": Mr. Bean stealing the grapes on the bowl of the patient next to his hospital while Playing Sick? Callous but a bit funny. The patient apparently being dead? Hilarious.
• In an episode of My Life as a Teenage Robot, XJ-9 (a.k.a. Jenny) is accidentally sent to kindergarten. Because of her... lack of want to be there, and the teacher's complete and total obliviousness to what she really is, Jenny becomes the black sheep of the class. It all comes to a head when she is repeatedly hit with a ball at recess while trying her hardest to be nice. The result? Jenny takes the ball, and plays hardcore-dodgeball/pinball on all the 5-year-olds present, demolishing the class, possibly causing many concussions. The teacher is horrified, but all the kids are impressed (once they regain consciousness, at least).
• My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
  • "Suited for Success": Rarity is driven to depression after being overworked for her friends' fashion show. Her rant after the show turns out disastrous isn't supposed to be funny but with Tabitha St. Germain's delivery of her Wangst, you just can't help but laugh.
  • "Putting Your Hoof Down": Fluttershy's cottage and garden withering and dying in response to her? Not funny. All that somehow happening within two hours tops? Funny.
  • In "Magic Duel", Trixie removes Pinkie Pie's mouth from her face. A later scene has her crying because she can't eat cupcakes.
  • In the second part of "Princess Twilight Sparkle", Twilight witnesses Nightmare Moon attacking Princess Celestia in a flashback and cries at the apparent loss of her mentor. Then Discord shows Twilight a picture of herself bawling and taunts her about it by adding in a baby's crying sound effects. It's sick but at the same time hilarious.
  • In "Castle Mane-ia", Fluttershy watches in horror as a pile of rocks appears to crush Angel... then Applejack stomps on the pile as Fluttershy tries to lift the rocks. The whole time, Angel is perfectly fine since he was with Twilight the whole time.
  • "Bloom and Gloom": Apple Bloom's family shuns her for not having an apple-related cutie mark. This turns out to be hilarious when said cutie mark turns out to be a ridiculously stupid-looking dolphin and all her family speaks in Big Mac's voice.
• The Owl House:
  • Eda losing her head? Frightening. Eda's head talking and stating how annoyed she is of having it done over and over again? Hilarious.
  • Eda and King discussing eating the Bat Queen's baby at the start of "Lost in Language". Eda dismisses the idea... because witches eating babies has been uncool since the 1600s.
  • Eda's sentient graffiti begging for its life when Principal Bump forces Eda to clean it up in "Something Ventured, Someone Framed".
  • The Golden Guard's genuine fear over what will happen to him if he returns to Belos empty-handed is depressing, but him quite literally digging his own grave and cheerfully (and genuinely) offering to dig one for Amity as well pushes it back into funny territory, especially with King's reaction: "This is bumming me out."
  • Lilith acting like King is a god? Unsettling. Lilith willing to commit "dark deeds" like murder in King's name? Horrifying. Lilith having a knife with a hilt made of skeleton hands on her to commit said murders? Hilarious.
• The Patrick Star Show:
  • "Olly Olly Organ Free". A skinless Patrick swallowing up the entire contents of his kitchen and shouting "more organs!" is horrifying, in addition to his extremely misshapen body afterwards. It becomes hilarious when he starts strutting down the street and receives nothing but praise and admiration for his new look.
  • "Dad's Stache Stash" ends with Rube taking a photo of the family. He promptly gets hit by a runaway train, and the photo ends up showing just the bottom half of the family.
  • "The Starry Awards" is loaded with Black Comedy.
    • Patrick's "Best Bite" nominees show various pictures of him being bitten by different characters. In the third one, he stares at the audience with a bored expression while a zombie bites his arm.
    • Patrick throws a dart that ends up hitting Slappy in the head, making him faint. Slappy, however, is still alive, so Patrick gives him a carrot-shaped award. Slappy bites it and promptly dies from the paint not having dried yet. The show quickly continues with Patrick riding Slappy's body being carried a stretcher as he goes to introduce the next nominees.
    • Granny Tentacles repeatedly has her eyes and face burned off by spotlights. The last time it happens, she's just annoyed and comments that the joke has gone on for too long.
    • It ends on Patrick, Squidina, and Granny Tentacles being killed by a bomb at the finale for their awards show. It's incredibly jarring to see, but the aftermath where they all have deadpan expressions and just continue watching the show makes it really funny.
• For an animated program on Disney Channel, this happens with startling regularity on Phineas and Ferb — mostly in Harmless Villain Doofenshmirtz's Imagine Spots. An obvious example is the time he planned to found a college of Evilology and, among the projects, the audience was shown the (smoking) skeletal remains of an infant. Another can be found in the episode where he planned to use a space laser (inator) to destroy stuff. Including morning talk show hosts. After (theoretically) using it, the host's arms are still intact, clutching at his mug of coffee. The rest of him is nowhere to be seen.
• The Recess episode "The Box" is about Miss Finster coming up with a new form of playground punishment — the box — which is just a square drawn on the blacktop. T.J. laughs at it at first, but after he's put in the box, it slowly begins to break him. It gets to the point where Miss Finster decides to keep him in there for two more minutes than the ten he was supposed to stay in. By the time his punishment is up, poor T.J. is in the fetal position, singing "This Old Man", and speaking in the third person.
• If The Ren & Stimpy Show managed to cross the line once, the Adult Party Cartoon was an exercise in crossing the line twice (and then some), particularly "Onward and Upward" where grossout jokes abounded past what was acceptable (and tolerable), and "Naked Beach Frenzy'' where the nudity card broke the scale.
• In one episode of Robotomy, the main characters join the "Sunshine Class", a group over-emotional robots who are treated like mentally-challenged children, in order to skip out on a test. The second line crossing is when the teacher of the class reveals that her real job is to kill the over-emotional robots by launching them all into the sun.
• The Simpsons itself has long thrived on this, especially in the earlier seasons.
  • "Duffless" has a sequence that goes from offensive to hysterical fairly quickly when Homer and a roomful of other Springfield citizens who've been arrested for DUI are shown a short film that Chief Wiggum promises will "scare the pants off of you." The film begins (after Chief Wiggum accidentally shows home movie footage of a barbecue he had where he ate a hot dog in a kiddie pool wearing nothing but a Speedo and spraying his wife with a hose as part of a prank) with a blood-splattered accident scene on the highway, which smarmy actor Troy McClure laments before abruptly switching to his obnoxiously cheery greeting of "Hi, I'm Troy McClure! You might remember me from..." The film continues with a montage of gory car crashes and vehicular manslaughters (which we never actually see) set to "wacky" chase music and with Troy providing a cheesy 1950s-style narration full of Incredibly Lame Puns like "Here's an appealing fellow. In fact, they're a-peeling him off of the sidewalk!" The other DUI offenders are visibly shocked or horrified by this spectacle, with one of them struggling not to vomit - but Homer laughs uproariously, commenting that "It's funny 'cause I don't know him." The films that we might remember him from? Alice's Adventures Through the Windshield Glass and The Decapitation of Larry Leadfoot.
  • In the opener of "Treehouse of Horror XXII", Homer steals candy for charity and drives off to the desert to eat them, only to be trapped under rocks in a ditch. Terrible, but then he chews his arm off with Vampire Teeth. And chews off the wrong arm. Then he chews off a leg. After shoddily reattaching them, he sees the candy is actually all vegetables planted by Bart and Lisa.
  • The Hansel and Gretel parody in "Treehouse of Horror XI"'s "Scary Tales Can Come True". Homer drops the children off in the woods and says "maybe you'll run into your other brother and sister". Cue them finding skeletons of two children identical to them.
    Lisa: Let's face it, they're not good parents.
    • Later in the same parody, upon finding that Homer has abandoned the kids in the forest, Marge angrily chastises him... because they could have sold them instead. We see Maggie on the windowsill with a sign that reads "Two chickens or best offer".
  • Moaning Lisa has a rather brash example in the subplot where Bart repeatedly beats Homer in video game boxing. Within the game, not only is Homer's character beaten, but that character is buried with the victorious character (Bart) dancing on the grave. Homer has nightmares about being unable to beat Bart at video game boxing so he trains only to find out that Bart has retired from the game.
  • "The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase" gives us "The Love-matic Grampa" which does this from start to finish. The premise: Abe is crushed to death by a falling can display, but his spirit winds up in Moe's love-testing machine. It’s sick and hilarious for the way it makes fun of Abe's plight. There's also this line when Homer unplugs the love tester.
    Abe: That's the second time he's pulled the plug on me.
  • "Waiting for Duffman" has a scene in which Marge expresses concern about Lisa and Bart playing with t-shirt cannons, to which Homer tells her that "no one's ever being killed by a t-shirt cannon". Cue to Bart firing a t-shirt that shatters Ned Flanders' window and hits a portrait of his first deceased wife Maude, knocking it off.
  • Of course, on Show Within a Show Itchy And Scratchy, this is a near-Once per Episode occurrence. While its In-Universe fans generally treat it as a Tom and Jerry-esque comedy of Amusing Injuries, the joke for Simpsons viewers is just how disturbing and grotesque that violence can get.
  • "Maximum Homerdrive" starts with the Simpsons family (except Lisa) going to The Slaughterhouse, a local steakhouse where the entire concept is so obscenely wrong that it shoots the moon back to being hilarious. Not only do patrons both pick the cow they're going to eat and watch it get killed in front of you, but literally everything (the menus, the candelabra) is made of animal parts.
  • "Treehouse Of Horror IX":
    • "Hell Toupee":
    • Kent Brockman reporting on Apu's murder as a lighthearted news story, followed by the Simpson family reacting in appropriate shock and horror, before Marge turns to Homer and exclaims "that's horrible, who'll run the Kwik-E-Mart?"
    • When Snake's hair latches onto Bart's face, Homer starts punching Bart's face. Bart calls Homer an idiot over it and he replies by strangling him.
    • Wiggum slurping his Squishee, having not noticed Apu's decomposing body still in the Squishee machine? Squick. Him doing so even after calling Lou and Eddie out on it? Hilarious.
    • Moe chastising Snake for smoking at the Kwik-E-Mart, then asking Apu if there's a cereal for people with syphilis (which does exist, but is prescription-only).
    • Snake's Hair is shot on the "back" while trying to flee, then several times more when it tries to surrender, and again after its shakes a "fist" in silent frustration.
    • Everything about Kang and Homer at The Jerry Springer Show in "Starship Poopers", but perhaps nothing more than Maggie suffocating Jerry during his "Final Thought" segment while Kang punches Jerry, Homer attacks Kang, and Marge groans, "I'm so [bleep] embarrassed."
  • In "Future-Drama", Future Smithers revealing that he now takes regular shots to make him heterosexual? Horrifying and offensive. Him immediately taking a shot which causes him to shout "I love boobies"? Becomes too hilariously ridiculous to take seriously.
• Solar Opposites: Kidnapping a child, making them run around a maze repeatedly and threatening to douse her in acid should not be hilarious. Yet Linda was so nasty to the kids when they weren't doing anything that her suffering seems more like Catharsis Factor. It's also hilarious when the aliens ask why humans have a drink that dumbs down their brains.
• Tiny Toon Adventures:
  • The Baseball Episode. Hampton — who obviously doesn't want to play — gets beaned with the ball, and it's not funny the first time; but when it happens again and again, even after the coach takes him out and has him warm the bench, it starts to get funny. Finally, at the end, when Hampton claims that he "learned my head was a magnet for baseballs" you can't help but laugh.
  • Yet another episode, "Kon Ducky", features a behind-the-scenes segment to the episode itself, with Hampton acting as a stunt double for Plucky in a scene. (Where he gets crushed by a falling mast after saying "Ahhh, Mango Juice!") Hampton keeps flubbing the line and getting crushed, becoming more and more incoherent and brain-damaged (and hilarious) with each subsequent mast to the head.
    Hampton: Ahh, Mango Fruit! *SMASH!*
    Hampton: Ahh, Mango Drink! *SMASH!*
    Hampton: Ahh, Mango Liquid Refreshment! *SMASH!*
    Hampton: Ahhhhh...Maaango Waaango" *SMASH!*
    Hampton: I'll take Charlie Weaver to block! *SMASH*
• Total Drama: Chris McLean. Almost everything he makes the contestants do fits this trope, but placing a C-4 charge on Owen's face takes the cake. And that was just the first episode of the 4th season. Not to mention the interns.
• The Venture Bros.:
  • Brock is torturing an enemy henchman for information by squeezing his testicles, then abruptly stops when he feels a lump. The henchman is distressed at the news. This somehow turns the scene from "nasty" to "hilarious".
  • "They hit me with a truck..."
  • The fact that Dr. Venture powered his pleasure chamber with the trapped soul of an orphan? Horrific. The fact that his only defense is that he didn't use all of it? Hilarious. Goes right back to horrific if you consider what was the sequence of events that led to the conclusion that an orphan was the solution?
  • "Handsome Ransom". The entire episode is nothing but crossing the line twice. Perhaps the most notable example would be when the Monarch puts on the Wonder Boy outfit and tells Captain Sunshine he can fuck Wonder Boy and his greatest enemy at the same time.
  • The implication that Sergeant Hatred had inappropriately touched the boys crosses the line. Finding out that, only "most of it was awful," crosses it all over again.
• What's with Andy?: The episode "Playing Dead" is filled to the brims with this. A teenager Faking the Dead and reveling in how it affects his parents? Not funny. Andy's reason being that he didn't want to be in the fundraiser dunk tank, his mother seeming to be horrified at his "death" but actually reacting to him wearing the same shirt for three days straight, his parents taking him to Gaggle Burger, his dad lying that he likes the restaurant to tempt him and asking him "Still dead?", the family holding their burgers near his face and commenting on them, them getting in trouble with the policemen (one of whom even claims that disposing of the body is a bigger crime than homicide), him being put in the tank anyway and his dad still egging him on? A total riot to watch.
