Man on Fire | comment |
The human body is unexpectedly flammable, resulting in characters, particularly Spear Carriers, Red Shirts, Evil Minions, and Dragons being engulfed in flames and walking or running around the scene. Thus ensuring steady work (and a lot of money) for stuntmen. Generally, this can happen for one of two very different reasons: A man on fire can be portrayed as particularly scary via a scene of someone burning to death due to the primal and visceral nature of such a death (particularly compared to an inanimate object being set on fire), or it can be portrayed as absurd and hilarious with a scene of someone frantically running around while on fire, possibly accompanied by Amusing Injuries in the case of the latter scenario (but not so much with the former). Rarely will the character even attempt to "stop, drop and roll", a safety technique often taught to kindergartners. The lit victim will always run around in a screaming panic, just causing the flames to get bigger. For added drama or humor (depending on whether the trope is Played for Horror or Played for Laughs), they might alternatively make a run for the nearest balcony to flip over, whereupon they scream as they fall to their death a few metres below. (This has some Truth in Television in that most amounts of fire don't kill quickly, and burning is one of the more painful ways to get hurt.) Not to be confused with the Denzel Washington film of the same name, which doesn't feature a literal man on fire. Or with the Human Torch. Or with Burning Man. Or Man on Wire. For the self-destructive version, see Self-Immolation. For the version that seemingly happens without any kind of external ignition source, see Spontaneous Human Combustion. Compare with Playing with Fire, Wreathed in Flames (the superpower version of this), Infernal Retaliation, and Rump Roast. See also Kill It with Fire and Incendiary Exponent. Contrast Immune to Fire. NOTE: the folks here at TV Tropes do not condone setting yourself on fire. Because fire hurts. A lot. Also, due to the risk of death associated with being on fire, be prepared for unmarked spoilers. |

Happens frequently on Angel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, though usually the vampires are destroyed by this very quickly unless they have Plot Immunity. In "Redefinition", Angel sets Drusilla and Darla on fire; they last long enough to break open a fire hydrant. Frequently lampshaded by Spike after his himification, as he was determined to travel during the day while hiding under blankets, jackets, and such, thus smoldering in the sun. | |

CSI: NY: Used in back-to-back episodes in season 3 and again in season 5. In "The Ride In," a man dressed in a cigarette costume dies because he'd been set on fire and, ironically, his outfit wasn't flame-retardant. In the next episode, "Sleight Out of Hand," there is a magician who sets himself on fire as a magic trick. While the magician is performing his trick, a guy several blocks away burns to death from being set on fire. Later, Mac demonstrates the cooling gel used by stunt performers for 'burns' aka setting themselves on fire, slathering it on a sleeve that covered his arm and inviting Danny to ignite it. In the 100th episode, "My Name Is Mac Taylor," a grieving boyfriend turned vigilante murderer tries Self-Immolation in a suicide attempt. He is rushed to the hospital, but his injuries are so severe it is left up in the air whether he will live to stand trial. |

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain: The story features a character literally called the Man on Fire, and he lives up to the reputation with pyrokinesis in addition to his Energy Absorption abilities, as well as constantly being Wreathed in Flames. Turns out he is actually Volgin from Snake Eater as a revived corpse who is Powered By Hate and traded out his Shock and Awe powers. A more mundane form of this trope can be found in Quiet's backstory. She was originally an assassin sent to murder Big Boss after the events of Ground Zeroes, but was set on fire by Ishmael to drive her off. Due to the pain from her burns she took the Parasite Therapy developed by Skull Face to help take the edge off and heal the visible wounds, and she dresses skimpily due to clothing interfering with her Invisibility power and causing her extreme pain from the burns. |

The Simpsons: From "Blame it on Lisa": In "Brother's Little Helper", from the time Ned and Maude Flanders are performing a skit about fire safety and Ned catches on fire: In "Bart Gets an Elephant", after getting stuck in a tar pit and rescued by Stampy the elephant, Barney Gumble thanks him as he lights a cigarette, and due to being covered with tar, he catches on fire. It doesn't seem to bother him much. Then there was "Treehouse of Horror VI", where Groundskeeper Willie walks into a PTA meeting engulfed in flames, then politely takes a seat when they brush him off. At the beginning of "Treehouse of Horror VII", Homer runs around the kitchen after setting himself on fire trying to light a jack-o'-lantern. Yet another opened with Homer trying to throw a piece of flaming firewood at Bart and Lisa, only for it to hit Grampa. He just says that he's still cold. In "Saturdays of Thunder," Martin's space-age racer easily wins the soapbox derby but his drag chute fails to deploy until after he hits a wall. The racer bursts into flame, Martin runs out on fire, and the fire department ignores Martin to douse the racer. In "Lisa the Skeptic" an angry mob sets fire to a robotics laboratory. Robbie the Robot races out screaming "Why? Why was I programmed to feel pain?" In "The Girl Who Slept Too Little", Marge sabotages a dump truck by putting a bobby pin in the piston, causing the truck to flip over and catch fire. The driver comes out on fire but is unphased by his predicament and rants about his wife convincing him to come home from Iraq. "Hungry Hungry Homer": |

Parodied in one sketch on the comedy-improv show Whose Line Is It Anyway?, where Wayne Brady played a "superhero" named Thinks Everybody's On Fire Man. At the end, his fellow hero Captain Obvious helpfully noted that he wasn't really on fire. | |

Half-Life 2 and its sequels have this as a very convenient way of disposing of zombies - strategically placed gas pipes and a stray bullet equals crispy zombies and headcrabs. The fire doesn't instantly kill them, and zombies don't flee from pain so they'd often keep coming for you, on fire, as the host screams in agony. This can, in fact, do more harm than good for tougher zombies, since not only will their melee attacks give you fire damage now, some, such as the poisonous ones, can survive until the flames die down. The trick works flawlessly against Combine soldiers, however (they'll remain in place trying to bat the flames out), as hard as it may be to pull it off. | |

Yandere Simulator: One of the possible means of eliminating a rival, by dumping a bucket of gasoline on them and then tricking them into running into a flame. Stabbing someone with a knife powered by the Flame Demon also has this effect. Dragging six corpses to the summon circle grants Yan-chan the Flame Demon's power, and she can shoot fireballs to set people on fire. This is the canonical way Moeko Rakuyona is eliminated in 1980s Mode. Moeko is a pyromaniac who likes to start fires in a barrel behind the boys' locker room. Ryoba made this backfire on her by putting gasoline in the watering can she uses to put out the fire so she would accidentally burn herself. |

Early on in Anachronox, you're barred from one area by a NOX Guard who informs you that some guy set himself on fire and they're waiting for him to stop. You can see him run around madly while the sociopathic guards do nothing to help him. Hilariously, this is also a Broken Bridge, so unless you further the plot sufficiently, you can come back an hour later and find the guy still running around and being on fire. | |

In World of Warcraft warlocks and mages can set their enemies on fire for short periods of time. So can many mobs and bosses (if you are not careful) leading to the meme "Don't stand in the fire." In Cataclysm there is a quest in Mount Hyjal to extinguish burning Twilight Cultists who have failed their training test to defeat a fire elemental. Engineers can get the Transporter Malfunction debuff "YOU ARE ON FIRE!!!" A toy sold by vendors during the Midsummer Fire Festival is a set of matches that you can use to do this to yourself. |

One of the pirates in The Island (1980) has the habit of coating himself in pitch and setting himself on fire before raids to terrify his victims. When Maynard shoots him with a machine gun at the end of the film, he goes up in flames, runs around the aft deck, and then throws himself into the sea. | |

The Adventures of Dr. McNinja: Dan McNinja's superior reasoning ability leads him to conclude that the best way to avoid being caught by other ninjas is to set himself on fire. (Granted, the ninjas in question are actually teenagers on a "ninja drug", and therefore are rather reluctant to grab someone on fire.) He does have the advantage of a fireproof ninja suit, though. In a later comic the Big Bad of the same arc (who doesn't need the drug for his ninja skills) admits that setting yourself on fire does prevent ninjas in general (himself included) from catching you... after telling the ninjas who failed to catch Dan to set themselves on fire to prove otherwise. Much, much later, after Dan blows up a group of pirates with a grenade, one intrepid pirate manages to follow them up a ladder into a loft. Dan, Doc, and Mitzi keep their distance, muttering that there's no real way to deal with him because he's on fire. |

In Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn: Any flame tank will turn an enemy soldier into a human torch in less than 1.98 seconds. And sometimes, it will run him over just to be sure. If the tank was destroyed just after shooting, the driver could manage to get out in time, but would still be killed by his own flame jet he fired seconds ago. And if the tank was moving, he could also be ran over by the tank's exploding remains. Sick. In C&C games with flamethrowing infantry their fuel tanks explode violently when they die, damaging nearby units. Any player who tried to build a crowd of them would find that the first death would damage all those around them, then the second or third would invariably cause the whole group to go up screaming like so many human torches, thus proving yet again that Video Game Flamethrowers Suck. |

In a MAD Magazine parody of Sherlock Holmes, "Shermlock Shomes'" solution to a Locked Room Mystery involves moving all about the room, entering as he believes the murderer did through the chimney, then racing out from the jambs declaring "The roaring fire in the fireplace presented no obstacle since the murderer quietly pushed the logs aside before coming through!" with a maniacal grin and his clothes on fire. | |

Luke Cage: In the first episode of season 2, Arturo Rey lures Luke into one of his semi trucks, which he then blows up from a distance. Luke walks out of the flaming wreckage, his clothes still visibly burning as he walks up to Arturo, who attempts to shoot him with a Judas shotgun to no effect before Luke just knocks him out. The whole thing is filmed by D.W. Griffifth, who gets Luke to make a Badass Boast for him before sending the footage to YouTube. In "The Main Ingredient," Mariah Dillard and Shades Alvarez kidnap Bushmaster's uncle Paul "Anansi" Mackintosh, take him to his restaurant Gwen's, and after Mariah's men guns down the patrons present at the restaurant, she douses Anansi in Bushmaster rum and sets him on fire. He defiantly shouts at Mariah that she'll burn in hell as he's being barbecued, and then Mariah shoots him in the head out of annoyance at him taking too long to die. The act is disturbing enough that Shades becomes disillusioned with her and they have a falling out in the next episode. |

The Maniac Cop trilogy: The climax to Maniac Cop 2 centers around a deliciously dangerous-looking set of stunts where the villain is set on fire and just keeps on killing everyone anyway, eventually crashing through a wall and falling through the roof of a van, which promptly explodes. The best part is just how long it goes on for - they must have set that poor stuntman on fire about ten times to get that many shots. Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence then takes it to insane levels when the eponymous bad guy ends the film on fire again - during an extended car chase! |

A Nightmare on Elm Street: The franchise's villain Freddy Krueger notably died this way before he became a dream-dwelling ghost, being set on fire by an angry lynch mob who wanted justice for the children whom he killed. During the climax of A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), Freddy Krueger is set on fire (again) by the heroine, Nancy Thompson. Not surprisingly for the undead, Freddy manages to chase Nancy around while still on fire, and get in a final kill (her mother). Even his footprints are flaming as well. In A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge, Freddy in Jesse's body once again burns to death in the climax. Jesse is revealed to be alive underneath the destroyed body. |

The Metal Gear franchise has a history of people on fire. In Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, after beating Metal Gear D, Snake is on fire, forcing him to have to dump his entire inventory to put it out. He then has to beat Big Boss by setting him on fire. In Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, after beating the tank, the gunner is thrown from it while on fire. He gets up screaming, and Solid Snake simply punches him in the face, knocking him out. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: The Fury, who has a flamethrower powered by rocket fuel (as it's tied to his jetpack), and he spends the entire boss battle trying to set Naked Snake on fire. When you defeat him, he's the one on fire instead. Then there's the final battle with Colonel Volgin and the Shagohod. After beating him, Volgin tempts fate by laughing off a thunderstorm, only to be struck by lightning and set on fire in the process. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain: The story features a character literally called the Man on Fire, and he lives up to the reputation with pyrokinesis in addition to his Energy Absorption abilities, as well as constantly being Wreathed in Flames. Turns out he is actually Volgin from Snake Eater as a revived corpse who is Powered By Hate and traded out his Shock and Awe powers. A more mundane form of this trope can be found in Quiet's backstory. She was originally an assassin sent to murder Big Boss after the events of Ground Zeroes, but was set on fire by Ishmael to drive her off. Due to the pain from her burns she took the Parasite Therapy developed by Skull Face to help take the edge off and heal the visible wounds, and she dresses skimpily due to clothing interfering with her Invisibility power and causing her extreme pain from the burns. |

On one episode of The Late Show with David Letterman, a man on fire briefly ran behind Letterman and into the backstage area during his monologue. Normally you'd assume this was part of the act, but Letterman seemed genuinely surprised, and both he and the camera made a point of ignoring the flaming man, and never even mentioned him (there was no laugh track or anything either). "Man on Fire" was a recurring bit for a while. At one point they "ran out of money to cover the insurance" and the man just ran out as if he was on fire. They even shilled for people to sponsor the Man on Fire. (MoF would yell "Subway! Eat Fresh!" or whatever while on fire). |

Fallout: New Vegas has Joshua Graham, The Burned Man. Formerly the Legate of Caesar's Legion, for his failure to defeat the NCR he was covered in pitch, set aflame and thrown down the Grand Canyon. It didn't work. However, when you meet him in the Honest Hearts DLC, he can tell you that every night when he has to change the bandages that cover him from head to toe and expose his wounds to the air, he must go through the feeling of being burned alive once again. | |

Metallica: Through the Never: During a riot scene, a cop is set on fire. When Trip is cornered, he pours gasoline on himself and uses a lighter to set himself on fire. He runs through the mob punching people until cops and rioters knock him to the ground and beat him, still on fire. He wakes up uninjured on the roof of a parking garage. As the band's elaborate stage set collapses around them, an electrical failure sets a stagehand on fire. He runs flaming across the stage until some technicians put him out with fire extinguishers. James Hetfield calls a halt to the show while EMTs tend to him and someone else who was injured. |

GTO: The Early Years: Before the events of the series, Akutsu nearly killed Kamishima by burning him to death. Kamishima still has the scars to prove it, and is obsessed with getting revenge. Once Akutsu gets out of prison, he does it again, trapping Kamishima, Ryuji, and Nagisa in a burning room. In the 2020 live-action, Akutsu sets Ryuji on fire, and Masaki's coat while Eikichi is wearing it. Ryuji gets badly burned, but it's a No-Sell to Eikichi. |

American Dad! In "Francine's Flashback", Jeff asks Hayley to come with him to Burning Man and uses a tongue depressor model, a can of gasoline and a match to demonstrate what the burning will look like. Being in close proximity to the burning model, the flames travel up his pants and set him on fire. In "Big Trouble in Little Langley", in order to create a diversion, Stan sets Roger on fire. He's then repeatedly extinguished only to immediately combust again, even after being soaked in water. And before lighting him, Stan asks Roger if he's ever seen the movie. |

On a lighter note, no pun intended, one of the unnamed apprentices in the Mage origin of Dragon Age: Origins sets himself on fire while practicing fire spells and is immediately put out by his instructor; apparently it happens on a regular basis.

During the height of the Ice Bucket Challenge, idiots everywhere rejoiced when some took it a step further, and invented the 'Fire Challenge'. In this challenge, potential Darwin Awards nominees douse themselves in a flammable liquid, usually lighter fluid, then set themselves on fire... for some reason. Surprisingly Realistic Outcome occurs once the pain sets in within a fraction of a second, and participants have severely injured themselves from the flames, especially because some were dumb enough to not have an extinguisher or water handy, or perhaps even more stupidly, ran away whilst still on fire. Do not try this at home. | |

Surprisingly, effects that actually set the target on fire tend to be pretty rare in Dungeons & Dragons. In 5th Edition, for example, despite fire being a common form of elemental damage, there are only a few spells that actually ignite the target, most notably the 1st level Paladin spell Searing Smite and the wizard and sorcerer Immolation. Enemies killed by the latter spell burn to ash. | |

When Top Gear (UK) redesigned Sir Steve Redgrave's garden, during the Ground Force-style fast-forwarding bit a blazing man runs into shot and is put out with a fire blanket. It is never really explained. In another episode, the guys convert a combine harvester into a snowplow... with a flamethrower attachment for melting ice. Guess what happens to a pedestrian during their field test? |

Dwarf Fortress: The dwarves have a special relationship with fire, mostly because they don't register it as a problem they should solve, and so merrily go about their duties and setting the rest of the fortress on fire as well. A famous instance in Boatmurdered in which 'god emperor' Sankis the Beardless snapped and went postal. "OH MY GOD. Sankis is on a bloody rampage! He mauled a baby and a cow, and now, at this very instant, he's beating the Elite Marksdwarf Kadol Lokumad into paste! Does it need mentioning he is on freaking fire!??" Even funnier, they will sometimes, while on fire, go down to get some (highly explosive) booze. No prizes for guessing what happens next. The fire men living in magma are the most literal case of this. |

It worked, but his shipmates were understandably a bit peturbed when they found out. Especially Mal, because it was his Badass Longcoat. | |

In The Sims series, Sims can catch fire from a stove, oven, toaster or fireplace, as well as through the fireworks and floor mounted decorative flame jets in the second game, and flame traps in the World Adventures expansion in the third. They burn for about thirty seconds then disintegrate into a pile of ash unless the flames get put out first. In the third game, having been on fire and then put out gets them the Singed moodlet until they take a bath or shower, and if they catch fire again while Singed, they die instantly. | |

The Legend of Zelda games did a ton of this, what with Lanterns, Fire Rods, Flaming Arrows and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past's Bombos spell. Even more amusing, the flames would usually knock the poor minion across the room/screen and pin it to the wall, burning all the while. In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, this can happen to Link, too, whether it be from an enemy's fire attack to approaching the hot parts of Death Mountain. | |

The Zombie Survival Guide advised you against using fire to fight the undead, as the only thing worse than a zombie trying to eat you is a burning zombie trying to eat you. The pain of burning "alive" won't register to them, and it takes quite a while for enough of them to burn up to actually hinder their movement and ability to attack you. | |

Aliens. The first of the marines to get killed is Private Frost, who fails to Stay Frosty when he's a victim of friendly fire from Dietrich's flamethrower (she instinctively pulls the trigger when a xenomorph jumps out of the wall and grabs her). Things go From Bad to Worse because Frost was carrying the bag of magazines and grenades, which detonate killing another marine and depriving them of the ammunition they need to fight off the aliens. | |

During the tussle, Batman kicks him off into the water and JP attempts to use his suit's flamethrower to get in one last strike. However, JP is drenched in diesel and he goes up in flames. His suit's so heavily armored that the only thing it does is change the blue on the suit to red. | |

Assassin's Creed: Odyssey offers the player several ways to set enemies aflame, from Arrows on Fire to hitting them with a torch or Flaming Sword. Humans in this game aren't quite as flammable as usual, though; it usually takes multiple hits before the targets actually start burning. When they do, they stop attacking in favor of running around screaming while trying to put the flames out, which is less helpful than it sounds because everything around them including the Player Character is very much Made of Incendium, so the briefest contact with such a human torch is enough to set yourself on fire, too, and being on fire deals a lot more damage than that enemy could've ever inflicted in person. Meanwhile, the amount of damage the enemy recievies is unlikely to total up to more than one or two normal blows from your weapon. | |

It's something of a tradition for Fallout games to depict the average human being as kindling in waiting. Flamethrowers in the first and second games give a kill animation fondly referred to among fans as the Burning Bitch Dance, while the later installments by Bethesda have given the various desert-wandering protagonists plenty of ways to demonstrate how flammable people are. Fallout: New Vegas has Joshua Graham, The Burned Man. Formerly the Legate of Caesar's Legion, for his failure to defeat the NCR he was covered in pitch, set aflame and thrown down the Grand Canyon. It didn't work. However, when you meet him in the Honest Hearts DLC, he can tell you that every night when he has to change the bandages that cover him from head to toe and expose his wounds to the air, he must go through the feeling of being burned alive once again. |

Super Mario Bros.: Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy all do this. When Mario hits an enemy with fireballs, it catches fire and dies; when Mario falls into lava or gets hit with fire, he gets launched high into the air, then upon landing grabs his flaming rear end and runs in circles, yelling things like "AAAHothothothothot!" and "MAMA!!!" Mario Party 8: When eaten, the Duelo Candy engulfs its consumer into flames, albeit harmlessly. Then the character moves across the board and, if they reach another character, then they can challenge them to a Duel minigame. |

Superman: Subverted in The Great Phantom Peril. As fighting the Phantom Zone inmates, Superman shoots his eye beams and apparently sets several of them on fire. As they are panicking, another Zoner shouts it is only a visual trick, and Superman is merely burning up the oxygen around them. In The Jungle Line, Clark Kent's clothes catch fire when his car crashes out of the road and starts burning. While stumbling out of the wrecked vehicle, Superman looks like a veritable human torch. In The Phantom Zone, Az-Rel is burned to ashes by his own flames when Nadira's psychic attack causes him to lose control of his elemental powers. "Supergirl's Big Brother": Played for laughs. When Jan Danvers tries his newfound power of flight for the first time, Supergirl warns him that he is going too fast and the friction is setting his clothes on fire. Biff just laughs her warning -and the fire- off, since he is now invulnerable and his super-breath can puff the flames out. |

The BattleTech RPG Mechwarrior has various man-portable flame weapons which, in defiance of the game's love of rolling for the odds of almost every result, simply assumes that a successful hit with a flame weapon will set someone on fire for a good twenty to thirty seconds at the very least. The ease of flammability is offset by the fact that fire damage was unusually mild in a game with otherwise incredibly lethal damage calculations. | |

Many, many characters in the whole A Song of Ice and Fire series, both historically and currently, especially in A Dance with Dragons; obvious when you consider the name of the book. With "alchemists" and their wildfire, Red Priests and dragons in existence in the world all together with more normal "foragers" scouring the countryside, well... yeah — this happens. One of the most infamous examples is a historical one, however: Aerion "Brightflame" Targaryen quite deliberately did it to himself (rather than the usual Targaryen trick of deliberately doing it to others or to themselves by complete miscalculation) in an egregious example of Alcohol-Induced Idiocy. The important lesson here, kids, is "don't use Greek Fire as a chaser, even if you do have the blood of the dragon in you". No, you will not transform into an actual dragon; ashes, however... | |

CSI: Miami has at least two Corpses of the Week go up in flames in this manner: One man was siphoning high-quality gasoline out of motorboats and selling it for a profit, only to meet his end when a static spark from his phone sets off the gas vapors that have accumulated in his esophagus. Another has two boys attempting to siphon gasoline out of a parking lot, only to be caught by the very irate driver, who douses one boy with gasoline and sets him on fire. The burning man crashes the party next to the parking lot and causes a panic before he dies. |

One Piece: When Pearl of the Krieg Pirates has a Minor Injury Overreaction, he sets himself on fire, which apparently was a habit he picked from living in the jungle and needing to scare off predators. Given how the other pirates reacted to this, it's happened numerous times before. This is how Usopp defeats Choo of the Arlong Pirates; First, he hits Choo with a bottle of rum, soaking the fishman in alcohol, then blasts him with a small bomb. Before Choo can reach a nearby pond to douse himself, Usopp wallops him with a hammer. When the Straw Hats are trying to escape from Big Mom in Totto Land, Big Mom merges with Prometheus, a miniature sun she created with her Devil Fruit powers, to become a giant flaming woman. Because Prometheus was her creation, she's unharmed by the flames. |

The Venture Bros.: In one episode, Brock Samson douses a henchman in gasoline and sets him on fire with a lit cigarette, then puts him out by punching him. Used in another episode where The Incredible Mr. Brisby monologues a little too close to the fireplace. Due to his being in a wheelchair, his legs catch on fire and he screams "I've come aflame again!" as Ling-Ling, his "companda", swats at him and stomps the fire out. Also, Human Torch Expy Cody Impossible, who ignites when exposed to oxygen, has no control over his fire, and feels it every agonizing moment of his life. In "The Family That Slays Together - Part II", henchmen #21 and #24 find a secluded spot to sit out the climactic battle, but they still listen to it over the radio. |

In the backstory of The Missing Piece of Charlie O'Reilly, Jonathon and his younger brother Charlie O'Reilly were playing with fireworks when their dad suddenly showed up, furious at Jonathan for being so unsafe. Jonathon dropped the Roman candle he was holding, which went off and hit his brother, turning him into a fireball. Their dad tackled his brother and rolled with him to put out the flames while Jonathon ran to call 911. In the burn unit, they had to keep him unconscious for over a week because the pain was so bad. The night before Charlie was supposed to come home from the hospital, Jonathon lay in bed, begging for a way to undo the accident. Brona granted his wish. | |

Judge Dredd: Dredd vs. Death has Incendinary ammunition for the very purpose of setting things on fire by shooting them. Unlike some of the other types of ammo (Bouncing Bullets?!), it is quite effective, though using it on most civilians is highly frowned upon. Using incendiary rounds on ANYONE not a zombie is considered pure evil. You will quickly be determined to be a rogue judge and hunted down by the SJS. | |

Game of Thrones: Several during the Battle of the Blackwater; Justified due to copious use of wildfire to blow up Stannis's fleet in combination with flaming arrows. One of them causes the normally Blood Knight Hound to flee the battle, as fire is the only thing he's afraid of due to his face being held in the fire as a child by his abusive elder brother. Wights are extremely flammable, with a newly-dead (and therefore not yet desiccated) one bursting into flames immediately on contact with an ordinary torch. Stannis Baratheon burns his daughter Shireen alive as a religious sacrifice, hoping for victory after his army is crippled by Ramsay. It doesn't work. In "The Spoils of War", The Battle of the Blackwater Rush saw Daenerys' first usage of her Dragons in Westeros, and the episode set a televised record for the amount of actual men on actual fire in a single shot. She then followed it up next episode by immolating Randyll and Dickon Tarly when they wouldn't bend the knee to her. |

Robot Chicken: A man's telling of why he converted to Judaism reveals that as a child, he accidentally set his church on fire along with his grandfather. A Fraggle Rock sketch has the Fraggles trying to cross a road, but one of them catches fire when they make two cars crash. When Betty Crocker battles Sara Lee, she finishes her off by using an Aerosol Flamethrower to set Lee's head on fire, leaving her yelling in pain with just a flaming Skull for a Head until she gets run over. A sketch based on The Little Match Girl ends with the girl dousing her father with alcohol and using one of the matches he made her sell to set him on fire as he declares "I never dreamed you would learn to use the matches for your own purposes!" In the "Island of Recalled Toys" sketch, one of the toys is one of the old Easy-Bake ovens that would get hot enough to burn the user. While singing, it accidentally sets an Elmo toy (which was recalled because it had Tourettes syndrome) on fire. A sketch based on Sesame Street has this happen to Oscar the Grouch when a group of homeless people start a bonfire in his trash can. In the "MasterChef Celebrity Showdown" sketch, SpongeBob SquarePants is one of the contestants, and has to cook with what he fears most; water. When he accidentally spills some water on himself, fearing he'll drown, he accidentally knocks his pot off the still-lit stove and the flames set him on fire. |

Something similar happens in one of the early levels of Syphon Filter: an accident in a subway results in several flaming Mooks running screaming at you. Apparently the main character is soaked with gasoline, as the slightest touch from them will also set you alight and kill you. And later averted with the defeat of a flamethrower-touting boss: he simply catches fire and falls over screaming. |

SpongeBob SquarePants, always with Rule of Funny in effect due to the characters being underwater: Early in "Pre-Hibernation Week", SpongeBob and Sandy go sandboarding and Sandy goes fast enough to catch fire. She passes by a backpacker and sets him on fire, causing him to stop, drop, and roll. In a deleted scene from "Just One Bite", Squidward gets doused in gasoline and set on fire by the Krusty Krab security system twice. In "The Fry Cook Games", the torchbearer lighting the fire at the opening of the games has his torch blow out, then he comes back with a relit torch and lights the fire, only to inexplicably burst into flames. In "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy IV", one of SpongeBob's attempts to return a shrunken Squidward to normal size with Mermaid Man's utility belt results in Squidward being set on fire. In "Spy Buddies", when SpongeBob and Patrick follow Plankton down the sidewalk while looking at him through a magnifying glass, he catches fire and puts himself out in a conveniently nearby cup of soda. He almost immediately gets ignited again by the exhaust from SpongeBob and Patrick's jetpack as they fly past him. In "Unreal Estate", SpongeBob is shopping for a new house and several variations of the show's opening play with the available houses replacing his pineapple. The second one shows him coming out of a chili pepper house on fire before Hans (the live-action hand) sprays him with a fire extinguisher. |

Malekith, the Witch King of the Dark Elves in Warhammer, stepped into the Flames of Asuryan after killing his rival to the title of Phoenix King to prove that he was totally the rightful king and not The Starscream. The Flames disagreed and roasted him, and he now has to wear enchanted armor to keep himself alive. Since the Flames are magical, the embers still burn in Malekith's wounds, a fact that has been exploited in a number of his defeats over the course of his life (the archmage Teclis, for example, reignited the embers with a simple fire spell when Malekith attempted his most recent invasion of Ulthuan, setting him on fire again). | |

The Pyro can do this in Team Fortress 2 - His fire-based weaponry inflicts massive damage, and then leaves the victims to burn for several seconds afterward, inflicting further damage all the while. This results in various reactions, from the Scout wailing "Fire! Fire! Oh, I'm burnin'!", to the Engineer calmly muttering to himself, "I'm burnin' up...", or even the Spy stating matter-of-factly "I appear to have burst into flames." However, other Pyros cannot be set on fire. They take that same (large) amount of direct damage from the flames (subject to the flamer's wonky hit detection), they just don't catch and burn. This is the go-to method of checking for cloaked or disguised spies. Friendlies don't burn; enemy spies will. |

Minecraft: You can set yourself on fire by walking through an open flame or taking a dip in lava. The effect lasts a few seconds, depending on how long you spent in the fire's source, and can be put out immediately by jumping in water. Potions of fire resistance will make you temporarily immune to burning, while fire protection enchantments on your armour will negate some burning damage. Mobs will also burn if they walk into fire (although some are immune, particularly those from the Nether), and animals which drop meat when killed will drop a cooked version of their meat drop if they burn to death. | |

A famous instance in Boatmurdered in which 'god emperor' Sankis the Beardless snapped and went postal. "OH MY GOD. Sankis is on a bloody rampage! He mauled a baby and a cow, and now, at this very instant, he's beating the Elite Marksdwarf Kadol Lokumad into paste! Does it need mentioning he is on freaking fire!??" | |

Self-inflicted on an episode of Sealab 2021. The crew are camping in the woods, only to discover it full of "Tree-snakes." They realize the snakes are repelled by the light, so they don't come near the campfire. Stormy at once proclaims, "So if we light ourselves on fire, we can go anywhere!" before dousing himself in gasoline and striking a match. | |

Call of Duty: Call of Duty 2: When the player lands at Pointe du Hoc he is immediately stunned by an artillery shell. In his hazy immobilized state, the player sees an LCVP engulfed in flames with partially burning soldiers fleeing from it. Then, a burning soldier walks calmly out of the ship and down the ramp, collapses to his knees, and falls down. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, at the end of "Loose Ends", Gen. Shepherd shoots Roach and Ghost, tosses them in a ditch, and lights them on fire with gasoline and a cigar. Ghost dies instantly from the gunshot. Roach is not so lucky. |

Occurs in the second Horatio Hornblower telefilm when Horatio and Captain Foster are trying to steer a fire ship away from the British fleet. Foster catches some flames on his clothes after he almost falls into the burning hold, but Horatio has the sense to smother it with a blanket. Then another spurt of flame catches Horatio's coat on fire, whereupon Foster gets them both into the water. | |

CSI: One episode had a woman who did the Self-Immolation variety and ran down a hill, causing a random stargazer to go up in flames, though the suicide attempt failed and the woman lived. "The Book of Shadows" opens with a student shooting a video in his high school corridor which is interrupted when one of his teachers comes running along the corridor on fire, before falling the ground dead. In "Abra Cadaver," a Stage Magician goes up in flames while performing a trick on stage. |

In Bugsnax it is entirely possible to set yourself on fire via flaming Bugsnax, lava flows, mishandling the Trip Shot, or just carelessly walking through the campfire. As the game has no damage meter or way to actually die, catching fire just means that your character runs around flailing for a few seconds while flames crackle. You can even weaponize this by setting yourself on fire and running into frozen Bugsnax to thaw them out. | |

The Hunger Games: Needing to come up with dazzling, memorable, coal-mining-related costumes for Katniss and Peeta, Cinna reasons, "What do we do with coal? We burn it," and dresses them in special black suits that will protect them from the (supposedly fake) flames he covers them in. The results are such a hit with the crowd that several other stylists go for illumination next year in Catching Fire (whether or not it makes sense). This is how Katniss gets the moniker, the Girl on Fire, that stays with her throughout the series. | |

Dark Messiah lets you inflict this on your enemies by dousing them with oil and then hitting them with either a flaming weapon or a fire spell. Alternatively, you could simply kick or telekinetically push an enemy in to a nearby environmental fire (including ignited oil patches on the ground or other burning enemies). This invariably results in the enemy in question hilariously dancing around before dying. | |

In the first episode of Blood, one of the first weapons you acquire is a flare gun that sets its target ablaze when it's weakened enough, which, in the case of humanoid enemies, is a straight example of the trope. The Aerosol Flamethrower in the retail episodes has much the same effect, but works even faster. The sequel has practically the same flare gun, but the enemies stay strangely calm (save for a scant few flinching animations) as they fry to a crisp, and the aerosol is completely absent (its supposed parallel, the bug spray, acts far more like a short-ranged grenade launcher with non-incendiary ammo). | |

Odium has lighting the monsters on fire (they burn and receive damage for three turns) as one of the most helpful and damaging combat maneouvers. You can begin doing it very quickly, since you find a flamethrower a few combats into the game. There are also Molotov Cocktails and a napalm launcher which ignites foes in a large rectangular radius, as well as leaving flames that ignite anyone who passes through. You can also make a foe flammable by tossing a bottle of gas or alcohol at him, though it requires you to actually set him on fire by using matches or a firearm on them. | |

Mega Man 7 features special enemy attacks that can inflict this upon poor Mega Man, repeatedly damaging him until the fire goes out. The game's requisite fire-based weapon, however, doesn't do the same to the enemies once he gets his hands on it. In a romhack, Rockman 7 EP, Mega Man and Turbo Man weaponize this with the Self-Burning ability. It has many utilities: it can light up darkened areas, give Mega Man immunity to lava, and boil water when Mega Man's standing in it. | |

Tales of Zestiria: In the Earthen Historia event at Lohgrin, it is revealed that the human baby Mikleo was fatally burned when Maotelus' shrine was set on fire during a village raid. The novelization, as well as unused game data, specify that he was thrown into the fire by the invading soldiers. While supplementary material says that he would have died from his injuries regardless, his ultimate cause of death is actually being stabbed and sacrificed by his uncle, the Shepherd Michael, in order to curse Heldalf. | |

Happy Tree Friends: At the end of "Peas in a Pod", when Lumpy's clones replace everyone else in town, one of them is seen on fire. In "Every Litter Bit Hurts", Lumpy attempts to block the exhaust from his truck with a pinecone, which gets launched out of the pipe, catches fire, gets lodged in the back of Pop's head, and sets him on fire. In "As You Wish", Pop's wish from Lumpy is to fix Cub's toy fire engine, but Lumpy sets Cub on fire, causing him to run out into the road where he gets hit by an actual fire engine. He survives, only to get crushed by Lifty and Shifty's van and the giant disco ball that Disco Bear had wished for earlier. |

Dragon Age II's Ketojan, a Qunari Saarebas whom Hawke escorts out of Kirkwall, uses his power to set himself on fire to kill himself rather than risk the possibility that he has been corrupted by demons, as is demanded by the Qun. On a lighter note, no pun intended, one of the unnamed apprentices in the Mage origin of Dragon Age: Origins sets himself on fire while practicing fire spells and is immediately put out by his instructor; apparently it happens on a regular basis. Also, an elderly mage signs off on the permission slip for requisitioning a rod of fire and asks that you use it on a templar's pants in return. |

In the Snow Mountain area of LISA, there's an enemy titled "Flaming Man" running around at the top who can be instakilled by throwing a bottle of water at him. The general implication is that he was a still-alive man who underwent cremation. In the Fan Sequel LISA: The Hopeful, this fate can potentially befall Cyclops; he gets knocked out, then the Big Bad orders one of his Mooks to douse him in gasoline and set him ablaze. |

Family Guy: In "E Peterbus Unum", Peter discovers that his house isn't a part of the US, which makes him his own country, and it inevitably spirals out of control when he claims Joe's pool, ergo he invaded American soil. When Peter is left with Brian as his only supporter, Brian says that he's stuck with him through worse, then it cuts to them on a Ferris wheel where Peter is inexplicably on fire. In "Don't Make Me Over", two people find Meg so ugly that they set themselves on fire and jump out a nearby window. In "Patriot Games", during Stewie's torture of Brian for not paying him, he lights Brian on fire with a flamethrower. In "Airport '07", Peter attempts to make his new pickup truck fly by siphoning fuel from Quagmire's plane before takeoff, causing it to crash. We're later shown a simulation of what would happen if the plane had crashed into a school, causing the kids inside to run out on fire, then the same thing with the kids replaced with bunnies. Early in "New Kidney in Town", Peter, high on Red Bull, gives Chris a few cans and then milks a cow so fast that its udder catches fire. Chris then runs out, pantsless and with his groin on fire. In "Peter's Def Jam", Peter realizes he's gone deaf not when he can't hear Meg's screams as she runs into his room with the sleeve of her Sunday garment on fire, but when he can't hear Garfield on TV. "Internal Affairs" features the fourth chicken fight where Ernie the Giant Chicken sets his own hand (wing?) on fire to attack Peter. |

In a romhack, Rockman 7 EP, Mega Man and Turbo Man weaponize this with the Self-Burning ability. It has many utilities: it can light up darkened areas, give Mega Man immunity to lava, and boil water when Mega Man's standing in it. In the Mega Man X series, using fire attacks on bosses who are weak to it turns them into this trope. Examples are Chill Penguin, Morph Moth's first form, Frost Walrus, Axle the Red, Bamboo Pandamonium, and Sigma's first form in X4. |

In Void City, the vampire Eric has a habit of losing track of the time and getting caught in sunlight, thus causing him to burst into flames. He's powerful enough that it doesn't kill him, but he finds it annoying and embarrassing. | |

In the How I Met Your Mother episode "The Burning Beekeeper", Marshall's boss Mr. Cootes is wearing a beekeeping outfit doused in kerosene when he's getting food out of the oven. He runs ablaze out the front door and rolls in the snow to extinguish himself. | |

In the Breaking Bad episode "Gliding Over All", we're shown a montage of the simultaneous assassinations of all eight of Gus Fring's former employees plus Mike's lawyer currently in jail creepily set to Nat King Cole's "Pick Yourself Up". The last victim, former LavanderÃa Brillante manager Dennis Markowski, is shown getting doused with flamable liquid and set ablaze inside his cell. | |

In the cutscene right after a fight with one of the minibosses in Dead Rising, said miniboss, a teenage Pyromaniac, is shown backing away from Frank shaking like a leaf and holding out a Molotov cocktail and ends up slipping and landing flat on his back, accidentally hurling the projectile into the air. It lands, already burning, on his crotch, and the player has the option to put him out with a nearby fire extinguisher, resulting in a Heel–Face Turn. | |

In Hacksaw Ridge, the American forces make use of flamethrowers, leading to several shots of men in flames running about as well as scenes showing still-burning corpses. Notably, the opening begins In Medias Res by showing burning corpses on the battlefield before flashing back to the main character's early life. | |

In the OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes episode "Everybody Likes Rad?", Enid mentions another famous video where a guy doing a bungee jump got set on fire by a passing dragon. The video went viral solely due to said fire, and now the poor guy has to be on fire all the time to keep his fans. As she's saying this, the guy in question can be seen behind K.O., completely wreathed in flames. | |

The climax to Maniac Cop 2 centers around a deliciously dangerous-looking set of stunts where the villain is set on fire and just keeps on killing everyone anyway, eventually crashing through a wall and falling through the roof of a van, which promptly explodes. The best part is just how long it goes on for - they must have set that poor stuntman on fire about ten times to get that many shots. | |
