A to D (Ass Shove, Bait-and-Switch, Deadly Gas, Distracted by the Sexy, Drugs Are Bad) | E to K (Fan Disservice, High-Voltage Death, Hoist by His Own Petard, Karma Houdini) | L to S (Stuff Blowing Up) | T to Z (Tap on the Head, Too Dumb to Live)
In a show that tries to give its victims the rightful death they deserve, there have been unfortunately numerous cases where the bastard who is supposed to be the victim isn't and gets away with their horrid deeds while someone else, usually an innocent, bites it in their place. Therefore, it warrants 1000 Ways to Die a Karma Houdini subpage.
- The robber in "Chucked Up": a naughty-minded housewife ties herself up for her webcam-watching husband. A masked thief breaks in, robs the woman blind, then gets in her face and thanks her for making the job easy. The woman dies of drowning in her own vomit (Since the thief's breath was so bad, it caused her to puke and she couldn't do it with duct tape around her mouth). As for the thief, well...he just gets away.
- The landlord from "Blend-Dead" who knowingly sprayed rat poison all over his tenant's vegetable garden, and didn't warn the health nut woman who died that her garden was contaminated. "Depraved-Heart Murder
," much? - Subverted with the story of the three huffers who accidentally set one of their friends on fire after getting solvent on him and handing him a lighter. Even though they ran off, the narrator says that the two who ran off were later arrested and tried for manslaughter.
- The mob-connected grandfather from "Freeze Died", the Haitian brother from "De-Coffinated", and the Russian spies in "Radioactivate-dead" could fall into this. It's worth noting that these three are about the only deaths in the series involving premeditated homicides that didn't backfire.
- Subverted again in "Homie's Dead/Homie Invasion": While the story does seem to end in a similar manner that the "Chucked Up" story did, the narrator points out that the man who got hit in the head during the robbery came back to life note and the burglar was the one who died. This is lampshaded when the narrator notes that there's no way that the show is about to let the burglar get away.
- The car driver in "Sumowed". Yes, the victim was a jerk and the driver was going too fast to stop. However, the car driver did drive away, making them guilty of hit-and-run.
- The hitman in "Kill Bill & Billie" is never shown getting punished for killing two people in cold blood. Although we're not made privy as to whether he got paid up-front or only after the job was done, so he may have possibly screwed himself out of payment at the very least.
- In an admittedly less funny example, the sexually-harassing, sexist, Depraved Bisexual boss in "Blown Job". He's an obvious villain and the woman in question was obviously wronged, but unfortunately, she's the one who dies because of drinking too much caffeinated drinks.
- The idiot janitor in "Tanked Girl", messes with a decompression tank and causes the gruesome death of the young woman using it at the time.
- The abusive lover in "The Chokes On You". She hits a dwarf (played by Jason "Wee Man" Acuña) in the face with her purse, causing his harmonica to go down his throat, choking to death. What did she do while he was choking? — Laughing until the poor little man died (thinking his choking is part of his act).
- The incompetent and hungover construction worker in "Constriction Accident". He accidentally dumps gravel on another construction worker who was putting bread on the table for his family, resulting in him asphyxiating because the gravel on his chest kept his lungs from expanding.
- Silvio in "Gang Banged". He killed another person's father over a business rivalry, and that person's attempt to avenge his father's death failed due to slipping and shooting a pipe, blasting his face with steam, and killing him.
- The sorority in "Who Fart-Dead?" were criminally negligent using a sauna at 230 degrees Fahrenheit, they at the very least would warrant a wrongful death suit.
- The New Year's Eve party-goers in "Nite Capped" who fired a stray bullet in honor of the new year and hit an innocent man walking the street. The narrator even acknowledged that what they did is a felony.
