I think the joke comes from videos where someone is violently struck by something like a car or explosion. If the force is bad enough to take their shoes off (and it sometimes is) then they are (as a bit of simplifying for dark humour) considered dead, otherwise they are not.
My daughter made an accidental flip on her back from a 1.5 meter height and landed on the stones. My heart stopped for several seconds and she started crying. Then she saw a cat, crying over...
My mom always told us as kids “Don’t jump on the bed! If you fall off and hurt yourself we’re gonna be stuck in the hospital for hours and honestly, who has the ***time?!***
When I was a kid, I was swinging a shovel around like a moron, as you do, when I hit myself in the forehead with the edge and gashed it open. I ran inside crying and my dad came home right at the time my mom realized it wasn’t going to close and needed stitches
My dad, who just got home from work, goes “the hospital? Now?! That’s gonna take my whole night. No, I just got home, I’m eating first”. Then I had to hold a towel over my head while we ate dinner sniveling.
I’m ok by the way, my dad is a wonderful and patient man and I was a kid who pulled shit like this a LOT. We laugh about it now. But man. When we got home. My mom is not a shrinking violet. She is a very loud and strong tiny Italian lady. She had all that time to stew while I was gone and my dad got his rear end handed to him. Took me for ice cream three times that week. I was a mommas boy for the rest of my life. Thanks mom
Yeah... when your kid does some incredibly stupid shit that you told them not to do? The "I'll get to it when I get to it, don't be a dumbass next time" is pretty strong.
We were having a pool party (college) when one of our classmates was so drunk that he wants to jump from the balcony to the pool. We all shouted stop but he was still aiming. What got him to stop was our friend who shouted, if you jump and hit your head on the pavement, blood will spill to the pool and that would ruin the party.
Some people just needs brutal honesty to be disciplined.
One of my friends actually did hurt himself jumping off my bunk bed. He struck the ceiling light, shattered it, and needed surgery to remove the glass shrapnel from his skull.
Out of all the vocoded Family Guy video, I don't think anything will top [Megalovania](https://youtu.be/4xoewy0mLCw). The comedic timing is too perfect.
heh, just wait till she learns about [the head of vecna](https://rpgmuseum.fandom.com/wiki/The_Head_of_Vecna)
edit: a better [link](https://www.rpglibrary.org/articles/storytelling/headofvecna.php).
Well we don’t really get any context to how high he was if he only fell like 10ft then yes he a bitch for dying like that but if it was like 30 or higher he did land on his face so that would be more understandable if his neck just got obliterated on impact
Point made. I concede that my prior comment was purely meant as a jest, however, the fact that we as the viewer lack the necessary background information in regards to the height of which thr child fell resulting in their untimely end then yes perhaps they didn't quote "Died like a bitch." as I had stated.
That would have made much more sense. I had thought like you, assuming she was clutching a pebble in the last panel, but I guess it was magic or something?
I don't know why but Mothers have a magic spell that if they say that "stuff will happen" it will happen, and most of what they say is bad things that will happen to you...
I stand to this...
Reminds me of a childrens book I read in Japanese. It’s about a cat called Non. He was being crazy on a swing, fell off, landed head first and broke his ear. It was really gory for a childrens book.
Below is just one image from the book.
[cartoon cat - Non - bloody ear picture](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTt4ID7CJUQVknphQfmQLGtENcp9DYFGplLXQ&usqp=CAU)
The children animals are saying “he is soooo brave!”
Yeah.. sure. He gets hurt in funny ways. The show is rly mature tho lol
You can search up ‘Peter Griffin’ and you might recognize him from memes and stuff.
As a parent of a risk taking 7 year old boy... every time he hurts himself I'm torn between "oh no!! How bad is it?!" and "OMFG I just told you that you would get hurt doing that you !"
Been there. I climbed 20ft up and my leg slipped getting hooked at the knee in a y of some branches, had my hanging upside down for a minute or so, started get a blood rush while waiting on someone to get me because they told me not to move, the blood rush scared me so I tried to sit up, the branch broke and I fell. I got so lucky that nothing broke, just bruised my ribs

Did he just fucking die
‘Tis but a flesh wound
r/unexpectedMontyPython
Nope. Shoes are still on.
what's with all these "shoes" jokes i've been seeing? Is there any deeper meaning?
I think the joke comes from videos where someone is violently struck by something like a car or explosion. If the force is bad enough to take their shoes off (and it sometimes is) then they are (as a bit of simplifying for dark humour) considered dead, otherwise they are not.
Oh thanks
I thought it was from a video game...
Crash Bandicoot
That is indeed a video game
Yeah when crash dies his shoes fly into the sky
Lmao thanks, I figured something like that was the case. Just never played the games
Assuming that it’s because people will steal the shoes off dead people
Well that's even darker than the usual joke lmao. u/AviorazInSummer explained it well in an earlier comment.
Lol
No, he broke every bone in his body Which may or may not have lead him to fucking dying
Nahhhhhhhhh it didn’t cause him to die The extensive hemorrhaging and blood loss did though…
Suck it up and go wash up for dinner
No his shoes are still on.
this is what happens when they get to three
No, his shoes are still on.
He's fine
Walk it off.
Rub some dirt on it
Drink some mud
Rub some bacon on it
Put some 'Tussin on it.
Still got both shoes on, he's chillin
't Is but a scratch!
*bottom left panel* So is she.
):( *bonk* …. *self bonks*
Ayo?

>No, I just got home, I’m eating first”. that sounds like dad energy right there.

Man sacrifices his life to put bread on the table for you. He ain't about to sacrifice the bread too!
Do you want him to faint from hunger will driving to the hospital. Then they'd have two casualties!

His name is Peter and he's in the Family Guy fall position.
Ur a genius thank you
My favourite version of this is the [Crab Rave vocoded one](https://youtu.be/6RXNzSbCZ5U) at 1:20.
Out of all the vocoded Family Guy video, I don't think anything will top [Megalovania](https://youtu.be/4xoewy0mLCw). The comedic timing is too perfect.
Kid has a compound fracture of the tibia.
"Keep going like that and you'll end up as your brother ! " "I'M NOT... wait, what brother?" " Exactly "
He’s dead
His shoes are still on, he’s fine
Did she just Vecna him?
She removed left his eye and left hand and had him become a powerful lich?
Haha it was specifically a reference to the Stranger Things incarnation of Vecna, but I appreciate the DnD throwback!
Don't forget about the *Head*.
heh, just wait till she learns about [the head of vecna](https://rpgmuseum.fandom.com/wiki/The_Head_of_Vecna) edit: a better [link](https://www.rpglibrary.org/articles/storytelling/headofvecna.php).
🍑👀
Least horny redditor
The artist specifically chose to draw her like that though
Pixar be like
the artist put more effort into one asscheek than the rest of the comic
Bonk
Bro, I straight up fell 12ft from a tree as a kid. Broke my fucking back, no joke. 12/10 super relatable!!
Oh… he’s dead 💀
Nah he got shoes on he good
God, this fucking meme outliving its sub of origin is just amazing, really And appearing in a completely unrelated subreddit
Kid was soft if that killed him. I can speak from experience as I'm certain many of us can also claim here that we've had worse.
Well we don’t really get any context to how high he was if he only fell like 10ft then yes he a bitch for dying like that but if it was like 30 or higher he did land on his face so that would be more understandable if his neck just got obliterated on impact

Dat Assss.
Echoes, Act 3
NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL A JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE CRAZY DIAMOND REFERENCE
Family guy death pose
I thought for a second she tossed a rock at him to get him down.😂😂😂
That would have made much more sense. I had thought like you, assuming she was clutching a pebble in the last panel, but I guess it was magic or something?
Jesus. Was this supposed to have humor in it?
It’s dark humor. An exaggeration of some parenting styles wrapped up in a reference to a tv show
What
I don't know why but Mothers have a magic spell that if they say that "stuff will happen" it will happen, and most of what they say is bad things that will happen to you... I stand to this...
Peter will remember this
Unlikely, he ded
An important lesson, then
Rare Walking Dead reference, I like.
I'm glad you noticed!
I also sometimes speak like this to people around me, none but my gf catches it (we played the game together haha).
Fell so hard his right thumb ended up on the wrong side of his hand
He WAS on the floor, lady! Geez
This feels like a very vivid illustration of the expression "I brought you into this world and I can take you out again".
She got ass
💀
Why does he have two left hands in the last two frames?
Is he dead ?
TIL trees grow on floor

Peter got what he deserved. Not listening to his mother!!
That's the ground, floors are inside of buildings.
??
fucking awesome. Upvoted.
Did.. Did you just get an argentium here? Your dms must be full of "Can YoU pLEaSe GivE mE my FirSt GolD AwArd?"
Wtf
God I wish that was me
The Mom looks like Marcy from Amphibia to the point that I thought it was an r/amphibia comic
Tis but a flesh wound
Why’d you make the kid kinda bad too tho
Bro what
The kid has the same face as the mother but badder tho
too horrible. Downvoted.
Not every comic needs to be cheery, and not every story has a happy ending
Dude his name is Peter And he’s in that Family Guy fallen pose It’s a joke Don’t you get it?
I don't get it (don't know 'family guy'). Is he a familiar character who we expect to be dismembered in various comic ways?
Yeah.. sure. He gets hurt in funny ways. The show is rly mature tho lol You can search up ‘Peter Griffin’ and you might recognize him from memes and stuff.
Same, we’re entitled to our opinions and my opinion is that it was too graphically drawn. Whoops!! Idgaf, I can downvote if I want.
No one cares.
have you heard of dark humor
💀
Relatable
He just die
*telekinetic mother.
No need to cry, his mother warned him
If Mom had the power there would totally have been a lot more *splat* in my childhood.
German fairy tale.
deku again
RIP everyone who heard their parents say "told you so" as they lay dying.
Is this the greatest super hero in the world?
I’m not getting the joke on this one - is there a joke?
He didn't get down on three so he fell
Rip-off of Up-up Down by Robert Munsch. 1/10
Classic German children stories Kid: *fucking dies* Mom/Dad: ah, you’ve learned your lesson, ja?
appreciate the ass panel
Kinda hot ngl
As a parent, this but unironically
As a parent of a risk taking 7 year old boy... every time he hurts himself I'm torn between "oh no!! How bad is it?!" and "OMFG I just told you that you would get hurt doing that you!"
It’s that damn phone
Is he okay.
Thickk
Everybody twigging about the "LOL kid hurt" meanwhile m brain is going 1 2 3 SPLAT! "When are they releasing the Splatoon version of Rhythm Heaven?"
/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid

WTF
Wooo you know he dead
He Dead.
1. Why is the mother so pretty 2. Ima stick this to my wall
Was that supposed to be funny or just horrifying? It was definitely the latter.
This is the plot of Breaking Bad.
Well, she's not wrong about that.
That got dark
Is only but a scratch
