But this is about the only 'thought candy' 1000 Ways to Die provides. Is it possible that death follows strippers? Maybe. Practically every other woman on the show is a stripper (as the narrator assures us) and ample screen time is given to showing us these women strutting around as sex kittens before someone else around them dies. In many cases, it's pretty clear that the producers and writers took great liberty with the characterizations (they wanted to make sure that for the most part, you don't feel too much sympathy for those who are going to die). The dramatizations are pure ridiculousness. In my opinion, it's the funniest bit of the show, and you'll probably find yourself trying to guess what the death will be 'called' before it appears on screen. And each scene concludes with a 'title' for that death, which is usually a pun. Each show is a collection of 'shorts' wherein someone dies, usually in an unusual way. Amidst a number of shows which try so hard to be cerebral and generally expose themselves as fraudulent, 1000 Ways to Die is an odd breath of sincerity sincerely stupid and ridiculous, but refreshing.
