The (usually) video game equivalent of the deliberately ridiculous splatter seen in Peter Jackson's early films. Video game makers who include gore and dismemberment effects (commonly known as "gibbing" or "gibs", short for "giblets") will often go overboard with them and make relatively simple weapons create far more grotesque splatter than you would expect from their real-world equivalents. This can be especially jarring, as the default handling of violence in most media is to err the other way—undersized or nonexistent entry and exit wounds are more common than ones that properly match the weapon used. Crosses the Line Twice is the key to this trope: Seeing a person realistically take a bullet to the jaw would quickly veer into Nausea Fuel. If their head instead explodes into a cornucopia of viscera and grey matter, we have a harder time taking it seriously and can relax some. Compare Made of Plasticine (this is the video game equivalent) and Bloodier and Gorier. Compare and contrast Pink Mist, a tamer, more realistic phenomena usually associated with real-world head shots. See also the Chunky Salsa Rule, Overdrawn at the Blood Bank, and Gorn. And, of course, Bloody Hilarious and Not Enough to Bury. By the way, in case you want to avoid possible fan backlash, it's pronounced "jibs", not "gibs" with a hard G sound. (For the record, "giblets" is also pronounced with a "j" sound.) |

Wonder Woman (1987): While Mayfly's death due to running into a gate at superspeed while trying to escape prison is shown as a Gory Discretion Shot some of the splatter ends up on frame. In the next panel while the main portion of her corpse is not shown two disgusted prison guards are shown looking at the bloody hallway and discussing whose job it's going to be to mop her remains up. | |

This is how the murder victim is found in Magic for Liars: split vertically in two halves with all the blood in their body soaking the carpet. Similarly, medical operations are undertaken by expanding/disassembling the region, making edits, and then shrinking/reassembling all the parts; the text calls this process "exploding". | |

In Raising Steam, death by steam engine turns people into red mist. Halfway plausible when applied to boiler explosions, a very real danger of the Steam Age, but not with a death that leaves the engine intact and might have involved a blast of live steam. (A horribly painful way to die, but not annihilating.) | |

DEATH BATTLE!: Several episodes have the losing combatant turned into lifeless fleshy chunks by their victorious opponent. "Carnage vs. Lucy" has Lucy ripping Carnage to bloody shreds with her second move via her Vectors (the first being to hold him in place when he first lunges at her). Thanks to Carnage's Healing Factor, he just laughs it off, even as she does it several more times throughout the fight. Ultimately, she has to vaporize him with a literally explosive punch to finish him and make sure there's nothing to regenerate from. "Saitama vs. Popeye" has Saitama splatter Popeye with his first punch. Thanks to a nearby can of spinach, Popeye walks it off and eventually emerges victorious. |

Predated by A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) when Johnny Depp's character bites it — he is sucked into a waterbed and a geyser of blood comes out from it. Perhaps somewhat justified because we're dealing with Freddy Krueger here; if he wants you to have more blood, you're damn well going to. When Lt. Thompson arrives at the scene, he asks where the coroner is and gets the response "He's been in the John puking since he saw it." | |

RoboCop (1987): The scene where one of Boddicker's flunkies gets dosed in toxic waste. As he shambles about the factory, begging for help, he gets hit by a speeding Bodikker. His body bursts the same way a water balloon would. Not quite "gibs," but there's also the OCP executive chosen to demonstrate ED-209's capabilities. He gets riddled with hundreds of bullets before someone finally pulls the plug. |

The infamous end of minor character Maneo from The Expanse. When his ship, going at about 900 ᵏᵐ∕ₛ is instantly slowed down by The Ring. Just the outside of the ship. Everything else inside (Including Maneo) are still going the same speed. Combine that with the instant stop, and Maneo is reduced to human pudding. | |

The Rambo series was somewhat light on the gore until Rambo IV. The end battle especially. For starters: Exploding heads, gallons of blood everywhere, a guy literally gets his leg torn off by bullets and another is ripped in half, blown apart by mortar shells, and Big Bad getting eviscerated by Rambo at the end. And don't forget the poor saps that were sitting in the jeep that were Rambo's first two victims of the last battle. What's more, the .50 BMG guns Rambo and Schoolboy use really will do that kind of damage!. This is how most of Hugo Martinez's men are killed off during the final battle in Rambo: Last Blood, through shotgun shells or explosive booby traps. |

Discussed in Falling Man by Dom DeLillo. While removing pieces of glass from the face of a 9/11 survivor, a doctor talks to him about suicide bombers who blow themselves literally into tiny little fragments. People who aren't killed by the explosion but are standing near it and within striking range sometimes report to emergency rooms months later with little hard lumps in their skin, which turn out to be fragments of the bomber, embedded in the flesh. The doctor poetically calls this "organic shrapnel". | |

Played straight in Calvin and Hobbes of all places. Calvin is making a traffic safety poster with the slogan "Be Careful or Be Roadkill!" We never see the finished result, but he states that he hopes he has enough red crayon, and later mentions that he splattered the whole thing with chunky spaghetti sauce so that not only would it look real, it would attract flies. | |

On Supernatural, when an angel attempted to fight an archangel, bystanders ended up picking bits of the unfortunate angel Castiel out of their hair. It happened to the same angel again later, this time from Lucifer. Castiel got his revenge, though. In his new role as The Starscream and the new God, he did it to Raphael in the season 6 finale. Then there was the time Bobby, not possessing a bamboo dagger blessed by a Shinto priest, threw an okami into a wood-chipper. |

In the Spy vs. Spy comics in MAD, the characters would sometimes explode without gore: just a big poof with their clothes flying everywhere. Once Peter Kuper took over the series in 1997, he generally tended to render the spies' wounds much more explicitly. | |

In the Torchwood mini-series Children of Earth, enemy operatives plant a bomb in Captain Jack Harkness. Jack becomes chunky salsa dip. Then, since Jack is a fixed point in time and space, he is graphically depicted pulling himself back together. Once he finally comes back to life, he's still not complete, and consequently spends a lot of time screaming. | |

The Order of the Stick's Belkar Bitterleaf turned his Evil Counterpart (well, Good Counterpart) into a salsa dip (extra chunky) after getting a large number of adventurers to gank him. Or at least, cut off his tail and stuck it into a jar of salsa. He also used said kobold's head as a chip bowl. The kobold in question is attempting to avenge his father, whose head ended up as Belkar's hat. | |

Awaken Online weaponizes this as one of the powers of the Necromancer class: the spell Corpse Explosion does Exactly What It Says on the Tin which causes a dead body to explode and damages players. Jason uses this to great effect such as sending zombies into groups of enemies or launching them into the air like hand grenades. | |

Played with in The Last Jedi when Kylo Ren orders a massive attack by multiple rapid-fire heavy weapons against Luke Skywalker. The barrage produces a cloud of red haze... which dissipates to reveal Luke standing there unharmed. He's a Force-generated illusion; the red haze is a dust from a red mineral beneath a thin crust of salt. | |

At the end of Ready or Not (2019), Mr. Le Bail does this to all of the surviving members of the Le Domas family, causing them to explode in a shower of gore that paints the dining room — and Grace — red with blood. (Children included.) A hundred years ago, their patriarch had made a Deal with the Devil for his family's fortune, and in exchange, they regularly sacrificed goats and, occasionally, humans (in the form of a Deadly Game of "hide and seek") in order to keep the curse at bay. And when Grace manages to survive their "game", well... | |

In the season 2 finale of The Owl House, the Collector decides to take revenge on Belos for betraying them by flicking him into a wall with so much force that his Blob Monster form simply explodes, reducing the Big Bad of the past 2 seasons to a smear on the wall. Once the Collector starts having their fun with the isles, the kids have to run through Belos's splattered remains to reach the portal, and a glob of the stuff even drips onto Hunter's shoulder! | |

In Grrl Power, a minor villain is shot in the shoulder; a few panels later, the projectile goes off, basically julienneing him off-panel and leaving Sydney drenched in blood and decorated with a chunk of his torso and an ear, among other things.

Happens constantly in the manga adaptation of One-Punch Man, usually but not always by the fist of the titular character. The sheer power on display means that people and monsters die in absurd and excessive ways, often leaving body parts scattered across the page. One person is even turned inside out by a single punch that leaves a four-foot-wide hole in their chest, and one Big Bad even uses this when he literally heals completely from being reduced to a bloody stain and an eye after being subjected to this trope though it ultimately does him little good. Probably the crowner was the fate of Mosquito Girl. After she defeats Genos, she goes in to finish him but before she can, Saitama steps in and slaps her so hard that she ends up splattered up the side of a tower block. "Mosquitoes suck" indeed. |

In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Crossover", Bashir shoots Odo of the Mirror Universe with a phaser, causing him to messily explode. Of course, Odo (Mirror Universe or not) is a shapeshifter made out of morphing protoplasm in humanoid form, so it was more like popping a balloon full of goo than tearing apart a fleshy being. | |

District 9. In amid all the totally serious, gritty Apartheid metaphors are a bunch of alien weapons that can do all kinds of fantastically gory things to a body. It's horrifying at first, and then it's just awesome: they explode into tiny little pieces that litter the landscape. From a single shot from a man-portable small arm that can be held in one hand if need be. Which possibly doesn't need reloading. The first time you see one used, the recipient splatters across the main character's face. It's actually a funny spot, which is needed considering the darkness of the movie. | |

In Rebuild World, Akira is forced to expend a huge number of CWH rounds to survive a swarm of Yataka Socrpions rushing at him through tunnels. The result is that the scorpions are more or less splattered across the walls and turned into unrecognizable mush. Hunter HQ is unable to determine just how many he killed because of their bodies being mashed together by every One-Hit Polykill, instead paying him based on approximation based on how long he was fighting. When Akira uses two assault rifles filled with armor-piercing rounds to ambush a fire team raiding Sheryl's relic shop, two of them end up like this and a third is Blown Across the Room, the leader Zelmo having used them as (not so bulletproof) human shields despite each having Powered Armor. When Akira ambushes part of The Rival Katsuya’s Battle Harem, due to him using expensive rounds, that team gets reduced to this. Old World Artificial Intelligence androids can reduce a soldier to this with a wave of their arm as a Technologically Advanced Foe. |

Kind of up to the Game Master, but in Paranoia experimental weapons from R&D quite frequently have ... interesting ... effects upon the target. And the user. And the user's teammates. And, oh, everyone within a half-mile or so. Paranoia is for GMs who like killing player characters, and players who don't mind their characters dying if they can do so in an entertaining way. "I press the red button on the strange black gizmo I got from R&D." "A voice comes from it: 'Tactical Thermonuclear Warhead activated. Detonation in 2.3 seconds.

There's an example in Dark Heresy's Critical Damage tables, where the developers took what looks like a disturbing amount of glee in describing, for example, the results of a high-explosive shell to the head. Some damage results can result in other characters being injured by flying shards of bone. This is turned up to Ludicrous Gibs when one considers how Critical Existence Failure works in this game. A starting character can take approximately ten damage before hitting the Critical Damage charts. These charts are rough, but generally survivable, up to roughly 8 points of critical damage. If a starting character is hit with a burst of bolt gunfire for 17 damage, he may be critically injured on the ground. Then when he is punched in the face for two more damage, his head may spontaneously explode, because that's what the Critical Damage Chart says happens. Rogue Trader and Deathwatch, which use the same system, both use the same rules, as does Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, although the lower-tech level means that it isn't quite as gory. Still more than qualifies though. |

In The Wheel of Time, Mazrim Taim establishes the viability of male wizards, long shunned because they're doomed to go insane, with a single command: "Asha'man: kill." It's not described precisely what spell the Asha'man use, but when applied to the front rank of the attacking army, it causes its members to explode. And it can be applied to the succeeding ranks very, very quickly. The aftermath (described in the next book) goes on at some length about the burial of the victorious dead, in clear contrast to the defeated. | |

Blade II: A bomb designed to go on the back of the head to control an adversary goes off, completely disintegrating the entity and leaving nothing but a fine red mist. Granted, it was at waist level, but not even a shoelace was left. In another scene, sunlight hits a vampire's jaw - it blows apart in a gory mess upon contact. |

My Hero Academia: The usual result when Tomura Shigaraki uses his Decay Quirk on living beings is a few pieces on a pool of blood. His dog, sister, parents and grandparents ended up being his first victims as a result of his Traumatic Superpower Awakening from the abuse he endured due to his father. | |

Army of Darkness. At one point, a human is dragged into a pit by a monster. For best results, bear in mind at this point that the human body contains about 5 litres of blood. Now watch as a geyser of blood blasts out of the pit. | |

A non-organic example happened on Robot Wars during the infamous Series 4 semifinal battle between Hypno-Disc and Splinter. Hypno-Disc was the most-feared competitor in Series 4 for a very good reason, and while Splinter made a valiant effort, once its ablative front plate was torn off by Hypno-Disc's heavy spinning disc, poor Splinter was, as host Craig Charles put it, "splattered". There were barely two components left connected to each other. | |

Exterminatus Now #474: "Stay Sanguine" has Simmons talking with a seer named Dewhurst over hologram. It's fairly obvious from the first panel that Dewhurst is covered in blood, and he's directing a cleanup effort through the whole page. The page ends with Dewhurst requesting that a helmet be developed for his lab - not really protect his subordinates from the incident occuring again, just to at least "catch the splatter". | |

Devil May Cry: The Animated Series: Ebony and Ivory can do so much damage to demons, especially compared to the games when they mostly deal weak damage instead. Here, a single shot may open a massive hole in the target's body. However, the most straightforward example happens when Dante repeatedly blasts Sid as they're in the demon world; aside from creating a pool of blood, Sid's body and face get torn into parts and scattered on the ground. | |

In regular Warhammer 40,000, the "Instant Death" rule serves to represent this trope. When a model is hit by a weapon of sufficient calibre (typically a weapon with a Strength of twice or over the model's Toughness value, usually something like a lascannon or missile launcher), it doesn't matter how many Wounds they have, they're dead. The game even notes that "it can be imagined that the target exploded in a suitably gory fashion". | |

Psionics: The Next Stage in Human Evolution: Unsurprisingly, a game that credits Scanners as an inspiration is somewhat fond of this trope. Espers with Brain Drain can make other esper's heads explode. Overloading psychokinetics make people’s heads explode and their own head will explode if the overload kills them. Overloading telekinetics will involuntarily rip apart anyone and anything too close to them and they'll be ripped to shreds if the overload kills them. Sufficiently powerful telekinetics can also rip people and objects apart voluntarily. |

A Darker Path: Crawler can't be conventionally killed, so Atropos has to thoroughly blow him up. Skidmark is the capstone of Atropos' war against the gangs, but everyone is already rather horrified and traumatised by how she took down Lung, so something really special is needed for Skidmark to properly draw attention, and she settles on "the most horrifying spectacular kill I could manage under the time constraints." She carefully and extensively sabotages Squealer's tank to set up a situation where Skidmark gets scraped under the front bumper at high speed for hundreds of yards, turning him into a literal skidmark all down Lord Street. |

Gantz - nearly all deaths, and even many non-fatal episodes... Which is saying something for an Anyone Can Die series of nearly 400 chapters, with an in-panel body count in the thousands, literally (with multiple events in different arcs producing hundreds of mangled corpses in a matter of pages). With realistic 3D CG art, detailed anatomy, and common loss of limbs. Oh, and better yet, the author rarely splattered someone that "had it coming" - instead of cheering, the audience was more likely to be emotionally invested in or at least sympathizing with the newest crop of brutal deaths. | |

In The Voynich Hotel, Elena the maid, who is the ancient witch Lachrymarum, returns home from visiting her mother in Russia to find her ex-yakuza boyfriend Kuzuki Taizou being mutilated by hitmen sent to retrieve the money he stole. She calmly repaints the room with their blood. | |

Breaking Bad: At the end of the very second episode, the contents of a bathtub filled with hydrofluoric acid in which a body was being dissolved burst through a ceiling, spilling an unidentifiable half-liquefied slurry of meat and bone chips all over the hallway. The opening of the next episode deals with the cleanup of said mess. | |

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: During the Defense Against Dark Arts class, Snape shows what happens to victims of the Inferi and it's not pretty...unless you consider a bloody stain on the floor pretty. Notably, Inferi are just a type of aggressive magical zombie with broadly the same physical capabilities as a human being, meaning they don't accomplish this through strength, but through sheer enthusiasm. | |

In "The Trash and the Snake" episode of Justified, the Wiz is holding a handful of high-powered explosives which use a cell phone signal as a detonator. When a nearby cellphone rings, the explosives detonate, reducing the Wiz to chunky salsa and completely coating Duffy and Boyd in blood.' | |

Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning is awash with blood and gore. So much that it got an NC-17 rating, and some scenes had to be cut/edited for its theatrical release. | |

Sunshine: Rae's affinity for sunlight effectively makes her a Man of Kryptonite to vampires as her magic reawakens, so much so that she makes a vampire burst in a shower of gore just by stabbing it with a table knife. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation has the episode "Conspiracy", in which Picard and Riker phaser a man who is being controlled by a Puppeteer Parasite. His head explodes and his chest disintegrates, allowing the creature to emerge. With chunks of the man's flesh still dripping off. | |
