==Film Deaths==
*Lord Love a Duck (1966) [Weldon Emmett]: Presumably falls to his death after Roddy McDowall uses a bulldozer to hurl the graduation-speakers' platform into the air; we last see him flying through the air. (Although the dialogue only confirms Martin West's death, I'm going to go ahead and assume that it was fatal for all of them.) (Played for comic effect.)
*The Man Called Flintstone (1966) [Chief Boulder/Ali/Street Salesman (voice)]: Playing triple roles, 'Chief Boulder' presumably died after a chandelier falls on his head, and Ali possibly died of starvation along with Tanya (voiced by June Foray), Green Goose and Bobo (both voiced by Paul Frees), when Fred Flintstone (voiced by Alan Reed) and Barney Rubble (voiced by Mel Blanc) launched them into space. ('Street Salesman' survives the movie.)
*Blazing Saddles (1974) [Hedley Lamarr]: Out-gunned in a showdown with Cleavon Little outside Grauman's Chinese Theater; HK falls face-first into some wet cement, in which he writes his name (played for comic effect). His last words: "How did he (Douglas Fairbanks) do such fantastic stunts with such little feet?"
*High Anxiety (1977) [Dr. Charles Montague]: Possibly falls from the tower when Ron Carey knocks him with the trap door. (its unknown what happened to him after that scene, but we don't see him for the rest of the movie so i can safely say he was killed).
==TV Deaths==
* The Carol Burnett Show (1967-77) [Various]: His characters have sometimes "died" in various comedy sketches; specific examples/episodes will be added below.
* The Carol Burnett Show: Episode 3.9 (1969) [Hijacker/Various Characters]: Falls to his death through the door of the airplane he was trying to hijack, while Carol Burnett and Lucille Ball are arguing over which one of them will be his hostage. (Played for comic effect.)
* The Carol Burnett Show: Episode 3.10 (1969) [Faulkwell/Various Characters]: Accidentally stabbed in the chest with a sword by Tim Conway, as Tim was attempting to return Harvey's dropped sword so they could resume their swordfight. (Played for comic effect.)
* The Carol Burnett Show: Episode 5.14 (1971) [Max/Various Characters]: Accidentally shot in the head by Carol Burnett when Harvey runs in front of Steve Lawrence and takes the bullet for him; Harvey staggers out of the room and later comes back in with a bandage on his forehead. He dies after Carol pulls off his bandage to apply it to her own chest wound. (A parody of Erich von Stroheim's role in Sunset Boulevard, though Erich's character did not die in the original movie.)
* The Carol Burnett Show: Episode 7.4 (1973) [Husband in Commercial/Various Characters]: In a parody of the then-current Imperial Margarine commercials, he is stabbed in the back by John Byner after Harvey eats a bite of toast with margarine, causing a crown to spontaneously appear on Harvey's head, making him a king (and thus a target for assassins). He dies after Helen Reddy returns to the dining room and asks him what happened. (Played for comic effect.)
* The Carol Burnett Show: Episode 7.13 (1973) [Inspector Schmendrick/Various Characters]: Sneezes to death when he inhales some snuff that had been poisoned by Carol Burnett. (Played for comic effect.)
