In the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner universe]], there are several instances of a [[Characters|character]]'s '''death''' or near death. As in many cartoons, such deaths are often impermanent: the character may later appear alive, often with no explanation.

==Appearances==
===[[Bad Graphics Ghost]]===
*In an [[Easter egg]] in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[ghosts]], it is possible to "kill" the Bad Graphics Ghost.

===[[Bubs]]===
*In the Strong Bad Email [[pom pom]], Bubs mentions having "almost died the 15th time."
*In [[Sample of Style]], [[Mike Chapman]] rips the cardboard tube that "produces" Bubs' voice. [[Matt Chapman]] says that they will have to kill off Bubs, "just like [[Homeschool Winner]]". A picture of Bubs' grave then appears.
*In the Strong Bad Email [[unnatural]], Strong Bad frequently suggests that they kill the rampaging [[King Bubsgonzola Supreme]].

===[[Cheat Commandos]]===
*In the original [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|commercial]], [[Firebert]] is shown killing two [[Blue Laser Minions]] by blowing up a cliff above them, sending rocks crashing down on top of them. ([[Coach Z]] similarly "kills" five Blue Laser Minion action figures by using [[Reinforcements]]' [[Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket]] to send a [[Pie|pie]] plate crashing down on them.)
*In [[Shopping for Danger]], [[Crackotage]] remarks that [[Reynold]] would "prob'ly die" if he went on a mission with the rest of them, later heading back to base "to make sure Reynold isn't dead".
*In [[Commandos in the Classroom]], two Blue Laser Minions are just about to shoot [[Fightgar]] when we cut away from them.
*In [[Let us give TANKS!]], all of the main Commandos (except [[Reynold]]) are ostensibly killed in a nuclear explosion at the [[Blue Laser Cottage]], along with the [[Blue Laser Commander]] and at least two [[Blue Laser Minions]].
**In the same toon, the commander of the [[Green Helmets]] asks [[Gunhaver]] for air support in a battle because of the "heavy losses" they're suffering.
***Also in the same toon, [[Fightgar]] threatens to shoot the Blue Lasers with "bullet-shooting guns" (but it turns out he was just kidding).

===[[Frank Bennedetto]]===
*In the Strong Bad Email [[army]], Frank Bennedetto "dies", after being kicked by Strong Bad. He is later seen alive in [[Labor Dabor]].
===[[Homestar Runner]]===
*In the Strong Bad Email [[the show]], Homestar says, "But it turned out I didn't die."
*In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 2.0]], Strong Bad as "[[Obviously Phony Aliases|Detective Everybody]]" said Homestar was shot 37 times for being too stupid.
*Homestar is in heaven on [[Main Page 6]] and is seen in a zombie-like form on [[Main Page 7]].

===[[Homsar]]===
*In the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[homsar]], [[Strong Bad]] "kills" him with the [[Heavy Lourde]] at the request of Vinnie C. Although [[The Brothers Chaps]] intended at first for him to be killed, he was later revealed to be alive but seriously injured in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5]]. The Heavy Lourde is dropped on him again on the [[Homsar Main Page]].
*In the Strong Bad Email [[origins]], he and [[Marzipan]] are glued together and "left for dead" at [[The Stick]], even though neither one actually dies. Strong Bad later comments on Marzipan's "considerable resistance to death".
*In [[cliffhangers]], Strong Bad drops Homsar and [[The King of Town]] off a [[Cliffs|cliff]].

===[[Kerrek]]===
*In [[interview]], an Easter egg shows him after being "smote" by [[Trogdor]].
*In [[Peasant's Quest]], he is slain by Rather Dashing with his bow and arrow.
===[[The King of Town]]===
*In [[Halloween Fairstival]], after seeing an X-ray of the King's heart, Strong Bad is content to "let the King die in peace."
*In [[cliffhangers]], the King is dropped from a cliff, along with [[Homsar]].
===[[Multi-Function Dragon]]===
*In [[KOT's VOQPCS!]], the Dragon is killed when speared by [[The Knight]] in the "instant death" section of his chest.

*In [[Parsnips A-Plenty]], [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]] falls off a cliff. He is later revealed to be in [[Hell]] in an Easter egg.
*In [[That A Ghost]], all of the [[Characters#Old-Timey|main characters]] are reduced to skeletons, and [[Old-Timey Bubs]] pokes his head out of a grave asking [[Strong Man]] to "please keep it down."
*[[Rumble Red]] is killed by [[Old-Timey Marzipan|Old-Timey Marzipan's]] machine, which she gave to him as a [[Decemberween]] present.
*[[Sickly Sam]] buries himself alive on Tuesdays, and has numerous traits of an undead being, including a partially exposed skeleton.

===[[Pom Pom]]===
*In the Strong Bad Email [[pom pom]], Kevin wonders what would happen to Pom Pom if he was poked with a pin. Strong Bad decides to try this, except that he would also be blindfolded and Pom Pom would be set on fire with the [[BMW Lighter]]. He believes that Pom Pom exploded in "a big fiery ball that was visible from space", when in reality he got a "severe pummeling" by Pom Pom. He even wrote [[General and Fraulein Pom Pom|Pom Pom's parents]] a letter of condolence.
*In [[Where's The Cheat?]], Strong Bad calls [[Marzipan]] and pretends to be [[Homestar Runner]], and he tells her that he got mad and killed Pom Pom.
*Pom Pom's ghost flies out of his grave on [[Main Page 7]].

===[[Rather Dashing]]===
*Rather Dashing can die in a variety of ways throughout ''[[Peasant's Quest]]''. The most noteworthy of these is when he gets burninated by [[Trogdor]] at the end of the game.

===[[Señor]] and [[Mr. Bland]]===
*According to the email [[origins]], they were by far the most popular characters until they were crushed by a falling [[Bubs' Concession Stand]].

===[[Strong Bad]]===
*Strong Bad is in heaven on [[Main Page 6]] and he rises from his grave on [[Main Page 7]].
*Strong Bad's grave is seen at the end of [[replacement]].
*Strong Bad's computers often meet with untimely demises, as seen in [[gimmicks]], [[virus]], and [[Biz Cas Fri 3]]. The [[Tandy 400]] returned in ghost form in [[ghosts]], and both the [[Compy 386]] and the Tandy appeared in ghost form after Strong Bad destroyed them in [[retirement]].

*In an Easter egg of [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]], [[What's Her Face]] suggests killing someone off for their tenth [[Teen Girl Squad]] issue.
In episode 1 everyone except for [[Cheerleader]] and you can see there graves at the end.
