From simple asphyxiants to lung destroying nightmares, from household accidents to military-grade chemical agents, 1000 Ways to Die knows a lot of deadly gases.
- "Trailer Trashed": A newlywed man cleaning his newly purchased trailer dies from breathing in the deadly fumes created when the gallon of bleach he pours into the trailer's toilet mixes with the ammonia gas exuded by the waste left in the septic tank.
- "Hummus Among Us": A pair of Libyan rebels sell weapons and hummus to two Al-Qaeda operatives, who haggled with them to buy it all for much cheaper than intended. When one of the rebels makes a demonstration with the AK-47, he loses control of it and ends up shooting the barrels of hummus, which somehow causes them to smoke. It turns out the barrels actually contained sarin and mustard gas, a combination that caused them to develop painful blisters inside and out while shutting down their muscle control, causing them to urinate and defecate before dying.
- "Exhaustdead": A jerk planning to ambush his ex-girlfriend (who dumped him for being verbally abusive) and her date by shooting them with a paintball gun left his engine running for a fast getaway. Unfortunately for him, he backed his car into a pile of trash bags that blocked the tailpipe and, with the windows rolled up, the car quickly filled up with carbon monoxide gas
. - "Gasketballed": Two college kids play around inside a giant helium-filled basketball leftover from a pep rally...and forget where the zipper is to get out.
- "Wine and Die": A sleazy dude brings a Swedish foreign exchange student to a vineyard for a wine tasting. The place is closed, but they stick around and drink some of their own alcohol. Once she's drunk, they climb into a nearby wine vat to have sex. They start to feel light-headed from the carbon dioxide settling into the vat and become too disoriented to climb out, both dying from lack of oxygen.
- "Cult Evaded": A goth girl's religious fanatic foster parents and their cultist friends trying to exorcise her die from carbon monoxide fumes from the coal and incense they were burning in a closed tent while performing an exorcism ritual on her. The girl survives (because she had a layer of fresh air above her) and runs off to the mall.
- "Tube Snaked": An underwear-clad groupie barely survives being strangled by her ex-boyfriend's pet boa, only to die from carbon monoxide poisoning when the snake clogs her house's exhaust pipe. Moreover, she was drunk before dying, which caused her to mistake the symptoms for a hangover.
- "Hat's All Folks!": A Mad Hatter dies from breathing in the mercury fumes in the glue used for felting the hats, which not only atrophied his brain into erratic behaviors but eventually caused mercury poisoning.
- "Fecal Attraction" A junkie rocker eventually runs out of the material needed to make jenkem and decides to shove his head into a port-a-potty in desperation to inhale the waste's gases to get high only to suffer a brownout and lose consciousness. He eventually dies from asphyxiation and methane poisoning.
- "Coffin to Death": A Japanese rock star gets trapped in a coffin by his bandmate who upstages him with a three-minute guitar solo, causing him to choke to death on carbon dioxide from dry ice that was meant to be used for theatrics.
- "Asphyxi-Asian": A cheating Japanese game show contestant who screwed over her rival asphyxiates during a scuba diving contest when her oxygen tank got mixed up with an intake of truck exhaust.
- "Chemi-Killed": A scorned lab assistant pitches a hissy fit and throws chemicals around the lab, including a flask of sodium azide. The flask explodes in a sink of water, turning the sodium azide into hydrogen azide, which burns her face and destroys her lungs.
- "Rocky Roadkill": A drug dealer disguises his operation by running it out of an ice cream truck, complete with a freezer and decoy ice cream. All is well until one of his amphetamine-addict customers decides to rob him at gunpoint. The dealer jumps into the driver's seat and puts the pedal to the metal, successfully evading the gun-toting tweaker — but the refrigerant tank in the freezer is ruptured during the escape. The van fills with freon, suffocating him and the man blacks out and hits a tree.
- "The Depart-Dead": Several teens playing Edward Fortyhands (a drinking game in which two bottles of beer are taped to your hands and you can't free yourself unless you drink all the beer from both bottles) suffocate when one of them spits out a cigar on the couch, which burns the couch and releases hydrogen cyanide into the room.
- "Die Laughing": A hazardous materials worker gets high on nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to escape the drudgery of his job. He fills his whole hazmat suit with it and his brain shuts down from lack of oxygen.
- "Frost-dead": A hack cryo-preservation engineer known for injecting standard anti-freeze into his dead clients instead of the usual material used in legitimate cryogenics, dies when a tube of nitrogen gas comes loose from a liquid nitrogen tank he failed to fix and sprays it all over the place. The bastard dies of hypoxia after inhaling the gas.
