Alice wishes Bob, usually a parent, was dead. Often times Bob is a total Jerkass and Alice tells him to "Drop dead" in a heated exchange. Bob then dies, or contracts a deadly disease, or has a horrible accident, or jumps off a cliff. Cue the angst as Alice then broods believing that she somehow is responsible for the tragedy even if Bob had seemingly no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Alice is typically a child. Often they also Never Got to Say Goodbye, so even more drama ensues. Usually lasts only one episode but can be milked indefinitely as Alice acts more and more irrational/self-destructive. You can also milk it for drama by making Bob not die, but become deadly ill for an episode. The wisher will learn a lesson, and the status quo will resume. Even more classic (and Truth in Television) is children blaming themselves for their parents divorcing. Aesop: Be Careful What You Wish For, though obviously the granting of the wish isn't really caused by the wishing, most of the time. See also It's All My Fault. If a character says this out of grief for a third party, see You Should Have Died Instead. Can be a Parting-Words Regret. And There Was Much Rejoicing is when a character is genuinely happy (and relieved) that the person died. |

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air had an episode where Will told off his uncle's Jerkass political mentor-turned-rival, including a "drop dead." Seconds later, he has a fatal heart attack. Will attends the funeral out of guilt, only to learn that he was pretty well universally hated - most of the "mourners" are there just to make sure he's really gone. Will admonishes them for their callousness, causing one to ask who he is; when he responds "I'm the dude who killed him," he gets a standing ovation. | |

Punky Brewster: In the episode "Any Wish Way You Can", the wish spell Glomer intended for Punky hits Margaux instead, giving her three wishes. Allen says something that irks Margaux, who growls "I wish you'd disappear!!" Allen's body does just that, leaving his clothes in midair. (Glomer brings him back, though. Margaux certainly wasn't going to waste her second wish on his behalf.) | |

Tales of Monkey Island: Sort of: At the end of Chapter 4, as Elaine is sharing her Last Kiss with the fatally wounded Guybrush, LeChuck taunts him by saying, "Aren't you dead yet? I've got wedding plans to make!" As if on cue, Guybrush dies in her arms and leaves her heartbroken and angry. Cue the Informal Eulogy. Played with in Chapter 5, when Guybrush (as a zombie) confronts LeChuck, who tells him, "I do wish you hadn't made such a pest of yourself. I wanted you alive to see me marry Elaine!" |

Not long after, Eva and Hideyoshi are found in a Locked Room Murder with very occult-looking stakes drilled into their foreheads. Maria's response? | |

Slight inversion of the 'My parents got divorced because of me' version, Zoey of Eureka is visiting a retirement home (as community service), and two former scientists are trying to explain nuclear fission (I think). She asks them to dumb it down (just for the trope apparently, since she does belong in the town) and they use the analogy of her parents' divorce. She processes this for a moment before asking if they intended to imply that she was the cause. They glance at each other and fervently try to convince her that wasn't their intent. It's never brought up again. | |

Inversion: At the end of the Looney Tunes film "Hare Ribbin'", the dog goes into a massive guilt trip after thinking his bite of the "rabbit sandwich" killed Bugs Bunny and wishes he were dead. Bugs hands the dog a gun ("Do you mean it?") and he blows his brains out. (In the director's cut, Bugs shoves the gun in the dog's mouth and shoots.) | |

Something is apparently more wrong with the older sister than meets the eye, and she is wheeled off to ICU. The last words her sister says to her? "I hope you die!" A short time later, blood starts coming out of the girl's nose and her eyes are shut. So... | |

In an argument with his father over his upbringing (namely being taken in by a surrogate mother, leading Bambi to think his father no longer wanted him) he angrily snaps that he wishes "Mother was here instead of you". Despite his regret afterwards however, it is Bambi that suffers the Disney Death instead of the Great Prince. | |

Amaranta BuendÃa goes through this twice in One Hundred Years of Solitude. The first time, she was a teenager caught in a vicious rivalry with her stepsister Rebeca. She prays for something horrible to happen and keep her from killing the other girl; soon after, their sister-in-law Remedios has a fatal miscarriage. The second time, Amaranta was an adult, and her Dogged Nice Guy Gerineldo Márquez was in jail. She made a flippant remark about his possibly being in line for execution when Amaranta's mother tells her to marry the guy. Some days later, Colonel Márquez is marked for death via firing squad, and only Amaranta's older brother (Colonel Aureliano)'s threats save him from execution. | |

This happens in the first part of an episode of Sledge Hammer! but it isn't the main plot. When the show's Cowboy Cop protagonist watches a used car dealer's TV commercial, he expresses disgust, and wishes he was dead... And then the guy dies of a heart attack. He quickly regrets saying it, thinking he made it happen, and eventually, to convince him otherwise, his partner shows him some recent obituaries to prove that this happens to people in that profession all the time. (It convinces him, but then they realize that all of them died suspiciously, and via a similar means, making them suspicious that a serial killer is targeting used car salesmen, leading to the main plot.) | |

When she says it's all her fault, Michael simply responds, "God's not going to listen to you."

End of Evangelion has the Psychological Horror variant: Shinji gets so depressed that when Rei asks him what does he want, he goes on an almost whispering rant about how it doesn't make any difference whether he lives or dies and summons this trope against the entire world, himself included. Unfortunately for everyone else, Rei takes this statement literally and promptly annihilates mankind. Afterwards, Shinji mulls about and realizes that this isn't what he wanted because in a world without pain, there's no happiness and if there's nothing in there, he doesn't exist and therefore no one does. He decides (without the slightest sign of regret) that he wants everyone back and Rei obliges, killing herself in the process and dumping Shinji with a catatonic Asuka into a Crapsack World. Gainax Ending at its finest... | |

Brutha from the Discworld book Small Gods was beaten by his grandmother every morning, because, even if he hadn't done anything wrong at that point, he surely would during the day. One day, he yelled after her, "I wish you were dead!" She died the next day. | |

In Sarazanmai, Kazuki gets so mad at Enta for stealing the Dishes of Hope that he tells him they're through and he never wants to speak to Enta again. Reo then shows up to steal the Dishes and shoots Enta in the process, ensuring Kazuki won't get the chance to. Kazuki spends most of the episode after this event wracked with guilt. | |

3rd Rock from the Sun: During a faculty party for a universally-hated teacher in "Body & Soul & Dick", Mary tells Dick that she wishes that the guest of honor was dead, only for said guest of honor to die of a Hollywood Heart Attack a minute later. Dick, being Dick, congratulates her on getting her wish, but Mary is horrified, and the next time we see her, she's knocking back martinis like it's going out of style. | |

In Whortle's Hope, a prequel to The Deptford Mice, Jenkin Nettle's father Isaac says in a fit of anger that he wishes an owl would swoop down and carry him off so he'd never have to see his face again. The main trilogy book The Crystal Prison has Jenkin dying in that exact manner, leaving Isaac regretful and heartbroken. | |

In a series where bad ends are the norm, one arc of Higurashi: When They Cry takes this trope to a near-superpower level. To clarify, the hero, Keiichi, had decided to murder the abusive uncle of one of his friends, and soon after wishes death upon a nurse who suspects his involvement in the crime, a police officer who is a jerk to him, and the doctor whom he confided in when he realizes that the doctor thinks he's crazy (he is) and is planning to sedate him. All three are soon reported dead. At the end, after things get even more out of hand, as he falls from a bridge into the river, he wonders how things went so wrong and wishes for the destruction of the entire town. Cut to a TV screen detailing the Hinamizawa Gas Disaster; the entire village died in one night, leaving Keiichi as the sole survivor. TIPS reveal that after that, Keiichi has basically lost his mind and believes himself to have God-like powers. When he feels that a reporter is being rude, he tells him that he'll die in water. It's noted that, years later, the reporter died in a fishing accident. The twist? It's all coincidence. Keiichi doesn't have God-like powers, and one of the first three people is Faking the Dead. | |

In one episode of Lizzie McGuire, Lizzie wishes someone would "knock Kate off her pedestal" moments before Kate actually falls off the pyramid and breaks her arm, prompting Lizzie's cartoon avatar to ask "Since when do I control the wind?" While she doesn't feel guilty, exactly, she does wind up teaching Kate some rhythmic gymnastics she can do one handed because Kate's temporarily replacement is actually worse than she is. | |

The voice-over for Eve's Bayou starts with the main character, Eve, as an adult, saying, "The summer I killed my father, I was ten years old. My brother Poe was nine, and my sister Cisely had just turned fourteen." The story of that summer then unfolds, revealing that the main character believed her father had molested her sister and asked a voodoo practitioner to kill him. She eventually changed her mind and tried to have the voodoo stopped, but her father was still shot to death. Interestingly, in this case it is Eve's own actions (telling her father's lover's husband about the affair) that lead to her father's death, making her more "responsible" than most instances of this trope. Near the end, Eve finds a letter where he denies the accusation. The ending of the theatrical version makes it pretty clear that his version of the story was true, though the director's cut is much more ambiguous. | |

In Valkyrie Profile, one character wishes that Yumei (one of the recruitable characters) can live happily with her parents just like she wanted. Thing is, Yumei's parents are dead, so he basically wished that she would die so she'd be with her parents. A wish which, by the way, doesn't come true, since its only result is to have the Valkyrie recruit her. The implication may be that Yumei's parents are in Valhalla, and by becoming an Einherjer, Yumei is destined to be reunited with them eventually, but this is never explicitly stated in any way. |

They each wish for riches, planes, boats. When Felix intervenes, the Professor and Rock both wish Felix would disappear. Instead, their fortunes do as making a fourth wish automatically negates their three legitimate wishes. | |

Somewhat subverted in Death Note when Teru Mikami's past is revealed: after being bullied to increasingly dangerous levels, his mother tells him to give up his high views of justice out of concern for him. Mikami, in turn, stops thinking of her as his mother and wishes that this new obstacle to justice would be taken care of. What happens? She gets run over by a stolen car that the people who bullied him were driving; she dies, and they all get life sentences. Instead of being miserable over this, Mikami is delighted, thinking that a higher sense of justice has prevailed and eventually linking the event (perhaps wrongly) to Kira. | |

After Daria comments on how, even though he's an asshole, he'll still be treated like a hero for the rest of his life, Jane makes a crack about how he might not live that long — just in time for him to be killed by his own commemorative goalpost. Afterwards, Jane spends the next few days avoiding Daria, because she's freaked out by the coincidence and doesn't want to think about it. | |

In Little Women, Amy follows Jo and Laurie when they go ice skating at the river, hoping to make up with Jo after having burned the latter's manuscript of hand-written fairy-tales. Laurie calls out a warning that part of the ice is thin, but Amy is too far behind to hear him, and Jo, despite suspecting that she didn't hear, is still so angry about her manuscript that she refuses to repeat the warning. A moment later, Amy falls through the thin ice, with Jo and Laurie narrowly managing to save her from drowning. Jo is racked with guilt afterwards, blaming herself for the accident, and learns just how destructive uncontrolled anger can be. | |

Nami, who hailed from East Blue, happened to hear them excitedly wish that Shiki would leave for East Blue sooner.

Rugrats: There was an episode ("When Wishes Come True") where Tommy wished the worst thing ever would happen to Angelica. Angelica goes home, but Tommy finds a statue of her and is racked with guilt, thinking his wish had turned her to stone. Invoked in "Dil Saver", when Tommy is angry with Dil and wishes he would "go away". Angelica overhears this and so when Lulu takes Dil off to change him, Angelica shows Tommy the screensaver of Dil on the family computer and lies that Dil is trapped in the computer to scare Tommy. |

At the beginning of the Hetalia: Axis Powers doujin Silencer, America says angrily to England that he should just disappear if he argues with him. After that, England is nowhere to be seen and no countries other than America remember him. Ultimately subverted, as it's revealed that the reasons for England's disappearance are far more complex than that...although you'll probably wish that they weren't. | |

In Touhou Project, Yuyuko Saigyouji, is literally described as being capable of "Invoking death as she wishes." This trope may have factored in her suicide. Fortunately, she's too polite to use this power nowadays...well, usually. | |

In Little Shop of Horrors, after the sadistic Domestic Abuser Orin goes missing and is presumed dead, his girlfriend Audrey seems rather sad and regretful, even though he treated her horribly and, frankly, anyone else would be glad he's gone. When her coworker asks her about it, she confesses that she always secretly wished Orin would disappear, and now that he actually has, she feels understandably relieved, guilty for feeling relieved, and partially responsible for his "meeting with foul play". While she didn't directly cause Orin to disappear, his abuse of her is the reason Seymour decided to kill him. | |

Happens quite frequently in Escape the Night. In season one, Matt and Lele are very open about their mutual hatred for each other and often say this to each other’s faces. In season two, Alex says this to Destorm, who was partially responsible for his girlfriends murder. In season three, Teala is easily the group’s weakest link, yet keeps surviving through dumb luck whilst the more resourceful characters end up dying by pure bad luck. Whilst no one has the guts to say this to her face, it’s frequently said during confessions and behind Teala’s back. |

In Transformers: Animated, Sentinel and Blackarachnia finally meet for the first time since the latter as Elita-One was left for dead before the events of the show. Elita was turned into a techno-organic due to her powers screwing her up when she tried to use them on the giant spiders native to the planet they went to, and Sentinel had developed a hatred towards organics ever since, as well as blaming Optimus for Elita's demise rather than taking up responsibility. In their reunion, Sentinel tells her that her state is a Fate Worse than Death and that it would've been better if she was dead. | |

In My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic to a minor variant, although inverted for two reasons. Rarity, annoyed that Fluttershy ended up becoming popular instead of her, gets so stressed over it that she outright wishes that her popularity suddenly stopped. Inverted the first time, because she realizes just how terrible it is to wish bad things on a friend at the moment of saying it (As Twilight immediately points out), and Inverted again because Fluttershy doesn't want all the attention required from her new work, but is staying in it for Raritys sake. | |

In the episode of Digimon Adventure 02 exploring Ken's past, it's shown that he had a complicated relationship with his older and more popular brother Osamu, whom he both resented and admired. One day, after the two got into a heated argument, Ken spitefully wishes for Osamu to "disappear". The next scene shows Osamu being fatally hit by a car, which was the first in a chain of events that led Ken to become the Digimon Kaiser. | |

Near the beginning of Monster, Dr. Tenma vents to an apparently unconscious patient after the hospital directors screw his career over for disobeying questionable orders that would likely have killed his patient. Among other things, he angrily claims, "They're the ones that should die." The patient turns out to be awake and thoroughly agrees with this sentiment. Murder ensues. In this case, Tenma knows he isn't responsible, and the reason he goes after the patient later was because he saved him; it's the police that think he's involved in the deaths. | |

Thinking she was responsible, Laura runs away from home and climbs a mountain — and we are not talking here about a childish exaggeration of 'hill' — to get "closer to God." She hopes that she'll bring about a miracle by doing so. (The true miracle may be that she was able to find a mountain in Minnesota.) | |

The plot of 3 Slytherin Marauders kicks off when a girl named Lila delivers a vicious "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Dudley over his treatment of Harry, capping it off by telling him that he and his family will probably be killed once he finally snaps. Later on in the fic, Vernon ends up shooting Petunia and Harry and Dudley seemingly disappear; while investigating this, Dumbledore comes across Lila, who is tearfully recounting what she said to the other kids and hoping that Harry isn't dead. | |

An episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy focuses on the other Cul-de-sac kids as they discover that the Ed's are mysteriously absent from the neighborhood. At first they enjoy their freedom from being constantly hassled by the Ed's scams, but as the hours creep by, they begin to worry as they find that the Ed's are nowhere to be found. Jimmy confesses that he's wished for this to happen almost every birthday, and feels guilty that it seems like it came true. The other kids all feel the same way, with the exception of Kevin, who grows increasingly paranoid that their absence is all part of a massive, complicated scam. In reality, the Ed's have been wandering around all day looking for the mascot costume mask that Ed lost. | |

A villainous variation occurs in the Ducktales 1987 episode "Master of the Djinni", where Glomgold, after finally getting his hands on a magic lamp he and Scrooge had been warring over, wishes to get rid of Scrooge by marooning him a desert island. Though he obviously doesn't regret that part, he makes the mistake of rhetorically wishing he could see the look of Scrooge's face. His genie, eager to get rid of his master, pretends to take this literally and sends Glomgold on the same island, leaving him stuck there unless he uses his final wish. Glomgold, furious at getting gipped, carelessly wishes he never found the stupid lamp. He has roughly two seconds to realise what he just said before a magic time reset causes the lamp to get shuffled out of sight so Scrooge and Glomgold never found it in the first place. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: In "Weight of the World", when Dawn is captured by Glory, Buffy goes into Heroic BSoD mode. In her mind, she repeats the same images over and over again; one of them was her placing a book back on the shelf in the Magic Shop. Buffy explains to Willow (who has gone on a journey to the center of Buffy's mind) that it was a memory of when she had momentarily given up on saving her sister Dawn and briefly wished Dawn would die just so the fear would be over. Inverted when Buffy tells Angel, who is contemplating suicide, that she's tried wishing him dead, but it doesn't work as Angel survived her attempt to kill him and she's still in love with him regardless. |

In one episode of Cold Case, a young victim's mother had, shortly before the boy's death, prayed to God to ease her burden, as she was overwhelmed by caring for three children; she's felt horribly guilty ever since. The ending montage suggests that, now that she knows what actually happened to lead to her son's death, she may finally be able to start forgiving herself. | |
