Stupid Deaths
YOU'RE DEAD FUNNY!
The Grim Reaper hears from those who have died some ironic or stupid deaths, as they pass through into the afterlife; "the stupider, the better!" From rulers to ordinary folk, Death rejoices in hearing all kinds of stupid deaths, later accompanied by a deceased judging panel.
​
Simon Farnaby plays the Grim Reaper.
THEME SONG:
Stupid Deaths, Stupid Deaths
They're funny 'cos they're true.
Stupid Deaths, Stupid Deaths
Hope next time it's not you!
