As for me, I'm a little appalled at what this show gets away with, and how dumb it is. Pretty rad, huh? And what would decapitated heads and severed intestines be without retarded men, sexy women, and flat-out neo-Con inspired racism? And boy, if you like all of the above, you'll love this show. Yes, decapitated heads and severed intestines. These deaths look like they were taken straight out of a campy horror flick, between the decapitated heads and severed intestines. You get some really entertaining special effects in this show.
The deaths here aren't really to be taken seriously, just enjoyed. What they really are are loose interpretations of rumored deaths, sort of what would happen if Mythbusters cut out the mythbusting part of their show. These are claimed to be dramatizations of actual deaths.
1000 Ways to Die is exactly what the title suggests - a barrage of odd and unbelievable ways to die. And the deaths portrayed actually happened.
Let's first get this out of the way - 1000 Ways to Die is like a slasher film.
