Welcome to Death Can Be Funny

Although Dying isn't funny at all, Death can be! This lens is a tribute to one of my favorite characters, The Grim Reaper, and to all of the funny portrayals of death's darkest angel.

This lens contains links to help you find the funniest reapers, video clips from some of our favorite shows featuring that skeletal madman and a lot more. Have fun!

Laughing at Death

Why do we laugh at death? Why not? By laughing at what we fear, we make it a little less threatening.

Honestly, I don't think it's really death that we are all so afraid of. I think it's the not knowing part, you know?

Death and dying are intrical parts of life and living. No one can escape it no matter how hard they try. You can't buy, or talk, your way out of it. You can't even postpone it once it's your time.

We might as well face IT, or him, or her, with a smile!

"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience."
~Eleanor Roosevelt

Terry Pratchett's DEATH

His booming voice comes through loud and clear eveytime DEATH makea an appearance in the Disc World. I look for him in every Terry Pratchett book and I'm usually not disappointed. If I had to pick a favorite DEATH story I guess I'd say Hogfather. Thinking of DEATH as Santa Claus still makes me laugh out loud!

If you haven't had the pleasure of meeting DEATH, I suggest you grab a copy of this book and join the fun. You'll recognize DEATH right away. He's the one who speaks only in capital letters!

Quoted from Hogfather

AND WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR HOGWATCH, SMALL HUMAN?
~ Death

"Here's a tip, though. Just 'Ho, Ho, Ho' will do. Dont say 'Cower, brief mortals'"
~ Albert advises Death on how to be the Hogfather
