A character died. Time for some traditional funeral? Eh... someone's not feeling that serious, be it writers or characters—heck, maybe the character who died would be insulted by anything so somber. So what's a writer to do? Have someone say what a great time it must've been! If it's not lampshaded with the trope name itself, then chances are it will be something along the lines of "That's how I wanna go." Someone will say this about Out with a Bang a good amount of the time, regardless of whether it's true. Dying in their lover's arms, especially after not having having seen the other for years, might also qualify, simply due to the over the top Heartwarming aspect. But see below. Compare A Good Way to Die. Note: If no one says anything, it doesn't count. This is not about a character's Moment of Awesome intersecting with their death—that's Dying Moment of Awesome. This is about a character in-story acknowledging this, ironically or not. By the same token, a character going out quietly in their sleep after spending the most wonderful time with their family still isn't this unless someone says or does something in-story to acknowledge it. |

In Reaper Man, the wizards are giving a "deathday" party (Discworld wizards naturally know the time of their deaths beforehand) to their oldest member, Windle Poons. The old chap is having a great time, but it's a bit after his expected time of death when he mentions that he could do with "one of Mister Dibbler's famous meat pies..." and dies mid-sentence.note A parody of the alleged last words of UK Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger, "I think I could eat one of Mr. Bellamy's veal pies." | |

In Arby 'n' the Chief, Word of God stated that this was his intentions during the final moments of the (then-final) episode of the series. Though considering how dark the series has gotten since its earlier days, and the events that go down in the actual episode itself, one way or another it's still a pretty sad ending for two of the series' most beloved characters. | |

A rather demented example was Darkwing Duck foe Splatter Phoenix, a Mad Artist who died when she was splashed with turpentine. (Apparently, she was, like many of her creations, a being made of paint.) As she melted away, she mused "Oh well, at least my work will be worth more when I'm gone..." | |

Thief of Time raises the possibility of death via diving into a vat of chocolate. The "person" involved was Unity, formerly Myria LeJean, ex-Auditor-of-reality. The vat was requested since Auditors who take on humanoid form have such hypersensitive taste buds that a single taste of chocolate kills them via sensory overload. Death and the other Horsemen had to admit that dying by Guilty Pleasures cranked up was a novel way to commit suicide. |

The Adventures of Dr. McNinja: Dan McNinja, regarding the death of Gordito's father, The Amazing Flying Shooting Juan: "What an... incredible way to die." There is also King Radical's death. To start, Dr. McNinja had to turn him into a vampire to make him less invulnerable; Radical achieved this by being bitten by not just any vampire, but Dracula: King of all Vampires, being used by Doc as a battering weapon. Then, not having any holy weapons around, the good doctor proceeds to grab a kidnapped Pope and throw him at King Radical; the ensuing explosion leaves only a pair of sunglasses to show there was ever a most radical man in the radical lands. |

While watching The Goodies, Alex Mitchell found one episode — "Kung Fu Kapers" — so funny he laughed for nearly a half-hour straight. Only someone in peak physical condition could survive that kind of exertion for so long. He didn't, literally dying of laughter.

In almost any incarnation of Star Trek, Klingons are known to express this sentiment whenever they hear about a death in combat or battle, especially if it qualifies as "glorious". Considering their afterlife functions like Valhalla, in that you have to die in battle to get in to the good part, it's a pretty understandable sentiment. | |

In Anansi Boys, the dad goes out in a way that's good enough that people assumed he did it intentionally. He died of a heart attack during karaoke, fell off the stage, threw out his hand for balance and grabbed a woman's shirt and tore it off, exposing her breasts. Fat Charlie finds this hideously embarrassing. | |

In M*A*S*H, Col. Potter's horse, Sophie, goes missing, only to turn up when an old, and apparently senile Korean gentleman, who had been washing the Colonel's laundry, had taken her for a ride while wearing his old army uniform. Upon seeing how happy the horse made him, Col. Potter told him to keep her. The next day, the old man's daughter comes back to return Sophie as she explains that her father passed away during the night, but thanks to Col. Potter, his final hours were he happiest she had ever seen him, and he went with honor, pride, and dignity. | |

In Lexx, the (renegade) Brunnen-G launched a hopeless counterattack against the forces of the Divine Shadow believing it was better than simply waiting to die (like the rest of their people). The Brunnen-G Battle Hymn is dedicated to this trope, and the Brunnen-G sing it as they go to their deaths. The musical episode "Brigadoom" features a song titled "A Good Way to Die" that is also dedicated to the idea that dying while fighting an unwinnable battle is still preferable to doing nothing. | |

As characters die in droves towards the end of The Transformers (IDW), Wheeljack reflects on his final act of Heroic Sacrifice and the ultimate expression of his Gadgeteer Genius: setting up a device to teleport an entire planet of people to safety to escape Unicron. No one else is there to hear it, but he acknowledges to himself that yeah, saving billions of lives and preventing the extinction of an entire race is a pretty good way to go. Wheeljack dies, but is remembered as the savior of the Elonian people and one of the finest Mad Scientists in the setting. | |

Eddie comments that he's proud of the way his little brother went. Discussed during the "Every Country Has a Monster" song for Reptilicus. |

In Cabin Fever one of the teens is convinced the deadly disease that's been going around will infect her soon enough. She copes with this idea surprisingly calmly, saying, "It's like being on a plane when you know it's going to crash. Everybody is screaming "We're going down! We're going down!" And all you want to do is grab the person next to you and fu*k the sh*t out of them, because you know you just gonna die soon, anyway." She proceeds to do just that, throwing the random dude who happened to be beside her at the time down on the bed and going at it like a wild cowgirl. She wasn't even patient enough to use a condom, which turned out to be bad news for the guy, because she was already infected and didn't even know it. | |

In The Order of the Stick, a wager made between the gods Thor, Loki, and Hel resulted in a situation where the soul of any dwarf who dies without honour gets claimed by Hel. This naturally culminated in dwarven society placing nigh-paramount emphasis on ensuring that their deaths come in an honourable fashion. For instance, when one of Durkon's extended family fought and got eaten by a giant demonic worm, this was met with joyous cheers by the others present, much to Hayley and Blackwing's bemusement. | |

Dinosaur Comics has a strip about the related concept of deaths (and other events) that are "extremely sad, but also extremely amazing." T-Rex proposes a new word to describe it: | |

It's Walky!: One of the characters fakes his own death as... having died in a fire while in the middle of an orgy with various women. Once someone else finds out he comments that they were supposed to be proud rather than sad - he almost wishes that he did go like that. One villain uses his dying breath to give thanks that he was stabbed In the Back. "How'd you know? Mmy fvrt dthhh..." |
