Well, an old friend of mine just did a relaxing morning pottering about his garden, went indoors, sat in his armchair and had a cup of tea, then went to sleep and switched off. Personally, I think, as ways to go, that's rather a kind way to go.
@@themoviejunky3918 That was quite a shock. We though he had years ahead of him and he was always out and about on his motorcycle. A bit of a character really.
I can believe they are true. We have a saying in the UK: "Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity". If you haven't heard it yet, you have now !
Brings to mind the 'stupid deaths' section of Horrible Histories, which describes some of the more bizarre ways people in history died - I'd check that out. One of them was Pythagoras if memory serves.
My Mam was always telling my dad to chew his food properly & eat more slowly. On evening, as she sat down to her meal he was almost finished & she said "Denis, if any passers by looked in through the window, they would think you were playing the drums!".
You just brought back bad memories LOL. The dairy used to leave our free milk in a stack outside our school. On this day it was left there a little too long in the hot sun. After we drank our milk we had class with this crazy teacher who used to make the class stand up and sing religious songs with our eyes closed , but a combination of those awful songs and the bad milk was too much. I was going to be sick, so I put my hand up to be excused to go to the bathroom but the religious nut teacher, had her eyes closed and couldn't see me so I ended up throwing up over the girl next to me 🤮I don't remember who that girl was, but I'm sure she remembers me 😅
Yeah I remember it while at work and heard it on radio 2. But it didn't become a big news story as a lot of the elo group were session musicians. And I said to my workmate if he had left home 10 seconds earlier or later he wouldn't have been killed. I guess when you're times up....
Great fun as always. Well, they do say that truth is stranger than fiction...😁 The one about the guy dying whilst watching the Goodies is certainly true. In several books, Graeme, Bill and Tim all mentioned that his widow sent them a letter about the incident. Many thanks Amanda, always fun😊
It was half documented as the very first death from watching television. I can sort of remember it happening at the time. Also, there's a bit of an homage to the incident in an episode of the drama/sitcom thing 'Love Soup.' Where lawyers for a TV production comedy have to defend a case brought against them by a grieving widow, who claims her husband's death was caused by laughing at a prat fall in their show.
I'm with you on the paper straw thing Amanda Rae. Had a thick shake yesterday ... luckily the paper straw was also thick. I hate fish cakes ... always suspected they were dangerous!
The episode of The Goodies that man died laughing at is called Kung Fu Capers. It’s not their funniest episode, but is really good nonetheless. The joke that finished Mitchell off was where Bill Oddie was fighting Tim Brooke-Taylor, playing the part of a Scotsman. Bill was attacking the Scotsman with a giant black pudding whilst the Scotsman defended himself with bagpipes.
Hi Amanda. There was an episode of Monty Python in which a joke was discovered that was so funny, everyone who heard it died laughing. The time period was set during war with Germany, so the joke was translated (carefully! 😄) into German and used as a weapon. It was read out to the enemy by a soldier who did not know German, with great success!
His pronunciation of "Gruffudd Ap Llywelyn Ap Iorwerth" was pretty good, I know English people that can't pronounce Welsh words and names that well. I'd love to see a video of you trying Welsh words :) Great content as always
As an English person with Welsh relatives, I wondered about that, [I have to practice over and over] so it's good to know he got it somewhere in the vicinity of right. I was pretty impressed by his pronunciation of 'Gloucestershire', too!
Haha .... Amanda your brutal 😂😂 I can confirm that the guy in the cinema really did get his head stuck in the electric chair trying to retrieve his phone 😮😂
@@LADYRAEUK Morning, when I first seen this incident on the news my initial reaction was 'how the hell did he get his head stuck in a seat at the cinema! I know the song goes: ' Kissing in the back row of the movies' but this guy preferred the play 'Indiana jones and the cinema seat of doom! 😂
Totally agree with you Amanda, paper straws are as much use as a chocolate fireguard! 🤣🤣🤣 that guy dying after falling on a turnip, sounded like he laned on top of it with his "men's region" lol They guy getting trapped under the cinema seat is 100% true, I remember it being in the papers a couple of years back
Hi Amanda, I peed myself when with perfect comic timing you said "Fish Cake"🤣🤣🤣 The chap that died while watching the Goodies is genuine, if I remember correctly his widow supported the goodies and the Tv company and allowed the show to be repeated etc. Keep laughing and keep up the great work
Lol i love these. When i was a teen i got a book called 'What A Way To Go' giving detailed descriptions of unusual deaths. Some were tragic and horrific, but there were a few chapters which just had hilarious deaths. I recommend the book to you.
Paper straws, are they really good for the environment? After all they are made from trees which are good for the environment due to giving out oxygen when alive not good dead turned into straws
I think I must be the only Brit who fondly remembers paper straws from the 70's ! In those days they were just for drinking with , rather than virtue signalling with lol.
@@CowmanUK Yes waxed paper, I forgot that and didn't realise the new ones aren't waxed. I work in a Bowling centre and the kids are always going back to the diner asking them for more straws ,so I now know why !
My favourite was Sigurd Eysteinsson. He won a battle and cut of his opponents head, tied it to his saddle. On the way home a tooth from the head hit is leg - a wound that got infected and he died.
Another classic death was Sigurd Eysteinsson, the second Earl of Orkney. He defeated his opponent in battle, cut the guys head off and tied it to his saddle. The head bit his leg, it got infected and he died!
I was taking part in a local 'Its a knockout' style contest and teams had to push one of those big round hay bales down a course. One team lost control of theirs and it came crashing into me from behind. Rolled up over me and I ended up getting taken to hospital with some seriously torn ligaments. 30 years later I still have major issues with the ankle that took the worst of the impact.
I have used 2 round balers and if you are baling on a hill it is always advisable before you eject the bale to reverse the tractor/baler so the bale comes out of the chamber at 90 deg. to the slope otherwise they roll like crazy downhill especially if it is a steep slope. Apart from being a danger to life they can end up rolling into ditches or smashing up fences.
I can't help wondering if some of these people would have survived if they'd had fingers. Seriously, I think they are all genuine no matter how absurd some of them seem to be.
FYI tampons up your nose is an excellent way to stop uncontrollable epistaxis (nosebleed) they swell with blood and stem the bleeding. Friendly tip there. Also an added bonus is that it makes them look silly.
Hello Amanda …. 😊This is very sad and very scary and taught “me” a lesson….at my place of work, I was a qualified First Aider and along with other FA’s at my workplace, we were invited to visit the Gordon Museum, a part of Guys Hospital in London, where Medical Students learn the history of medicine and Doctoring etc. We visited the Autopsy department - it contained organs and bits of “bodies” in preservation fluids. It sounds gruesome but it really wasn’t. There was a Case History index book, explaining what everything was and what had happened. On a shelf was a part of a person’s throat - the oesophagus - and right at the top of the throat itself, perfectly preserved, was a pickled onion….a man, I will called Bob, had been at a wedding buffet. He had had a good time, ate lots danced lots and had drunk “lots”….but towards the end of the evening, he must have been a bit drunk, so sat on the floor, leaning against the wall and had fallen asleep. When the wedding was over and it was time to clear up and go home, friends went to shake Bob and wake him up….but he did not stir, and it was evident that he was unconscious and probably “ill” so the Paramedics were called. Sadly Bob was pronounced dead….it seems that Bob may have accidentally swallowed that pickled onion whole, and it had formed a perfect seal at the top of his throat and he had suffocated himself, he had slumped down on to the floor unable to call for help as he was choking! The Doctor Registrar at the Museum, showing us around, advised to NEVER eat anything round shaped that could be big enough to get stuck in a throat without cutting it down - this included pickled onions, tomatoes (cherry and small, ones) and sweets - but the biggest warning he gave was about giving grapes to toddlers and small children and to ALWAYS cut them in half lengthways and to never give a child a whole grape if is large, as he has had to treat children who have almost choked on them. This has remained with me for 30 years! It is something I will never forget and I will never give a little’un grapes that could cause them harm. Hope this wasn’t too ghoulish for anyone 🥺
I was asked if there were hereditary diseases. I said I didnt know, my Grandfathers had died because they were allergic to Lead . (fired from German Guns specifically )
If ever we do something ridiculous leadito injury, my Mrs and I often Joke, "so how did they die?" Then try to explain the ridiculousness of the incident "well it was like this officer" 👮♂️
Don't worry Katrina just live life, when your times up it's up. I don't want to tempt fate but I've had so many near death experiences and I'm still here coming up for 67 so I can't complain. Stay safe and long may you live. ❤️💪🙏🏻
Remember the one about someone getting their head trapped in the cinema seat ,it was in Birmingham area , I've been curious about what happened for a while .
Hi Amanda, One of the saddest/poetic justice? deaths was a lady who had discovered that her husband had been having an affair, In her despair she decided to end it all by jumping from the tower block where they lived but in an amazing coincidence her husband happened to be walking beneath at that very time he died she survived albeit badly injured freaky Huh?

A neighbour came home late after a night on the pop. Having lost his keys he tried to get in through an upstairs sash window but the ladder slipped. He was found dead in the morning, the window had come down trapping him by the neck.
here a story for you as a 12 year old at the time electricity was at its highest so we fiddled it the elecy board came and took the fuse out so as a 12 year old i went to the houses that were being demolished went inside one of them to the basement as the meters were in basement unknowingly there was water running form the walls i not knew it at the time being dark and the power was on i fumbled to grab the fuse so i can put it in ours as i was taking it out there was a big flash and i was thrown to otther side of the wall and my heart stopped lucky after a some moment of what time it was i woke up startled got back home and put the fuse in to get free elecy i looked at the time and i was out for over 30 mns the house was only five mns away i think i was very lucky to live.
I can't speak to most of them, but can confirm the haybale one is true. I wasn't aware that it was someone from the music industry, at the time it wasn't released. The scary thing for me was, I was living in Devon at the time, and had passed by that very road on my motorbike that day. I'd go for a nice ride on the way home from Brixham, through Totnes, Halwell where the accident occurred and on to Dartmouth. I am saddened that those responsible got away with it, we said at the time, they shouldn't be using round bales on a hill, heavy as they are, they can still roll.
About 2004, a man was up a tree in his garden in London, he was cutting branches with a chainsaw,his puppy distracted him, he then fell off the ladder, sending the chainsaw in his wife's direction, nearly beheading her, but killing her all the same. perhaps worth a google.
In 1,052 or 1,053AD Godwin, Earl of Wessex told king Edward "Sir king, I have been often accused of harbouring traitorous designs against you, but, as God in heaven is just and true, may this morsel of bread choke me if even in thought I have ever been false to you." Then he took a bite of the bread and choked to death on the spot.
The Segway death happened in Boston Spa near me just over the bridge over the River Wharfe on the Thorp Arch side. It was off a river bank not a cliff. He was 62, probably shouldn't have been on one of those, but it was a grand ride down.
Hi Amanda , my dentist told me about a man who was using a tube of Polygrip denture adhesive a week . Because of his overuse he died due to the zinc content in the adhesive .
A friend of mine a few years got up to go to work as he did every morning made himself a cup of tea and sat in his chair in the kitchen to drink it... No one knows exactly what happened I think it was a heart problem.. His partner came down couple hours later and found him sat in his chair still... stone dead.. He had previously shown no signs of illness or heart problems.. He was full of life when I was having a drink with him a week before.. He was only about 30 years old.. We all have got to go one day.. I guess that's as good a way to go to any way rather than in an accident or in pain
Recently opened Egyptian tombs are full of molds, bacteria, and bat droppings, as well as ammonia, sulfide gas, and formaldehyde. I've heard it's common for explorers to not shave for a few days before entering a tomb, to limit the areas of the skin where bacteria could enter. This may have been what happened to the guy in the video, not some "curse".
Well, my dear, if you want plastic straws don't go to Scotland (or England or Wales soon), as single use plastic straws, cutlery, balloon sticks, stirrers, or food take-away containers, are soon to be illegal.
The best was saved for last then. Quite why anyone would stick tampons up their nose is beyond me. Surely the last thing you want to do is block your nose, people snore when the breath through their mouth...
You should read some of the entries in the Darwin awards, like the American guy who decided to try a home made bungee, unfortunately he used a solid rope, ripping his feet clean off.
Another one that comes to mind is the Great Molasses Flood also known as the Boston Molasses disaster in 1919. You can check it out on Wikipedia, but a storage tank filled with 2.3 million gallons of molasses burst, causing a flood of molasses to stream through the streets. 21 were killed and 150 were injured. How would you like to be drowned in molasses?
We had a similar incident in Victorian times only this time it was beer and it happened in London. There was so much beer several people died and some homes were flooded. They took the company to court but lost the case
A woman in India died from electrocution after touching an exposed wire at home. A couple of hours later neighbours asked her sister what happened. The sister said "she just touched this wire like this." Ooops!
Baldriks turnip surprise 😂. While the world looks at the US as crazy for their gun laws, the rest of the world looks at the brits for simply being crazy. 😂✌️♥️🇬🇧

went inside one of them to the basement as the meters were in basement unknowingly there was water running form the walls i not knew it at the time being dark and the power was on
i fumbled to grab the fuse so i can put it in ours as i was taking it out there was a big flash and i was thrown to otther side of the wall and my heart stopped lucky after a some moment of what time it was i woke up startled got back home and put the fuse in to get free elecy i looked at the time and i was out for over 30 mns the house was only five mns away i think i was very lucky to live.

About 2004, a man was up a tree in his garden in London, he was cutting branches with a chainsaw,his puppy distracted him, he then fell off the ladder, sending the chainsaw in his wife's direction, nearly beheading her, but killing her all the same. perhaps worth a google.
These are true deaths so morale is live for today for tomorrow we die
Two words "Darwin award's" makes me giggle every time, well worth the Google
I’m going to have a look
We got rid of our metal straws in favor of silicone ones when we heard about that first woman.
British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston died in 1865 immedialetly after saying to his Physician, "Die, Doctor ? That is the last thing I shall do."
I would love to trip over a turnip and kick the bucket so everyone could have a great laugh at the funeral. 😂
In 1,052 or 1,053AD Godwin, Earl of Wessex told king Edward "Sir king, I have been often accused of harbouring traitorous designs against you, but, as God in heaven is just and true, may this morsel of bread choke me if even in thought I have ever been false to you."
Then he took a bite of the bread and choked to death on the spot.
The Segway death happened in Boston Spa near me just over the bridge over the River Wharfe on the Thorp Arch side. It was off a river bank not a cliff. He was 62, probably shouldn't have been on one of those, but it was a grand ride down.
Aw that’s terrible
Hi Amanda , my dentist told me about a man who was using a tube of Polygrip denture adhesive a week . Because of his overuse he died due to the zinc content in the adhesive .
As Snoop once said in his song ... ' 6 million ways to die,choose 1' ... death by fishcake please :)
Excellent vid. Many thanks for posting it. Most of my reactions were variations on 'Wut?'.
Me too 🤣
At least some are these are true. Well I have heard them before. Great as usual Amanda!
Thank you!
The Segway guy is true because after his death, I believe his widow tried to get them banned
A friend of mine a few years got up to go to work as he did every morning made himself a cup of tea and sat in his chair in the kitchen to drink it... No one knows exactly what happened I think it was a heart problem.. His partner came down couple hours later and found him sat in his chair still... stone dead.. He had previously shown no signs of illness or heart problems.. He was full of life when I was having a drink with him a week before.. He was only about 30 years old.. We all have got to go one day.. I guess that's as good a way to go to any way rather than in an accident or in pain
That’s so awful
@@LADYRAEUK thank you
They found out that the deaths from any tomb are caused by a toxic fungus that grows on corpses
Recently opened Egyptian tombs are full of molds, bacteria, and bat droppings, as well as ammonia, sulfide gas, and formaldehyde. I've heard it's common for explorers to not shave for a few days before entering a tomb, to limit the areas of the skin where bacteria could enter. This may have been what happened to the guy in the video, not some "curse".
Thanks for sharing!
Carnarvon's death was probably caused by a mosquito bite and subsequent pneumonia.
Some places sell paper straws that have unmentioned plastic straws hidden inside them re the soggy problem 🎩
Mcdonalds gives you paper straws for the environment but wrap the paper straw in plastic, well done lol :)
Lol!
Paper straws are made from wood so still we chop trees
Some of these, proper had me chuckling! Us brits, are bonkers sometimes.....🤣😂
🤣😊😊
Well, my dear, if you want plastic straws don't go to Scotland (or England or Wales soon), as single use plastic straws, cutlery, balloon sticks, stirrers, or food take-away containers, are soon to be illegal.
Very interesting and slightly disturbing as well
I believe them! Bizarre things emerge all the time.
The best was saved for last then. Quite why anyone would stick tampons up their nose is beyond me. Surely the last thing you want to do is block your nose, people snore when the breath through their mouth...
So odd! lol
You should read some of the entries in the Darwin awards, like the American guy who decided to try a home made bungee, unfortunately he used a solid rope, ripping his feet clean off.
I’m going to check it out 😊
Another one that comes to mind is the Great Molasses Flood also known as the Boston Molasses disaster in 1919. You can check it out on Wikipedia, but a storage tank filled with 2.3 million gallons of molasses burst, causing a flood of molasses to stream through the streets. 21 were killed and 150 were injured. How would you like to be drowned in molasses?
We had a similar incident in Victorian times only this time it was beer and it happened in London. There was so much beer several people died and some homes were flooded. They took the company to court but lost the case
Should of had the final destination cameras around for some of these
A woman in India died from electrocution after touching an exposed wire at home. A couple of hours later neighbours asked her sister what happened. The sister said "she just touched this wire like this." Ooops!
What?! Lol
Used to work in an ED people die and are seriously injured in truly bizarre circumstances all the time especially during distinctly odd sex acts
Baldriks turnip surprise 😂. While the world looks at the US as crazy for their gun laws, the rest of the world looks at the brits for simply being crazy. 😂✌️♥️🇬🇧
🤣🤣
Tampons in your nose got me . That was funny
If you don’t like metal straws try plastic ones they don’t go soggy
