Specialized montage mostly limited to award shows, which strings together film clips featuring everyone from the show's specific field of endeavor who died during the previous year. Typically synchronized with a medley of stirring and/or sad music, with theme songs thrown in for good measure when the deceased worked in television or film. Too often it degrades into a weird sort of popularity contest for the people at home, as the actors and actresses featured inevitably get more applause than the costume designers and writers. You have to wonder why they just don't go for the moment of silence. Also seen on news/sports shows, usually at the end of a telecast. Compare Really Dead Montage, because a character has not been Killed Off for Real until they get a flashback Clip Show, and In Memoriam, which are dedications to those who have died and had a direct connection to the work. |

Magic Goes Wrong: Played for Laughs. The second half kicks off with a montage of those who have died in magic-related incidents, including characters mentioned in the first half, characters shown dying in the first half, an audience member who was pecked to death by escaped doves and one of the still living performers, whose date of death is “Hopefully very soon�, much to his annoyance. | |

Look Around You: In "Casserole", Peter announces Clive Pounds' decease due to complications from a wasp sitting on his anus. He then proceeds to observe a minute of silence in which some recycled images featuring Pounds are passed. Immediately after, he declares that he thinks the audience will be pleased to know that Pounds has undergone an Unexplained Recovery and is alive again now. | |

Inside Job (2021): In "Blue Bloods", during the reptoid annual gala, an In Memoriam 2021 of the Reptoids which were lost over the last year is shown. The hosts announce it in a heart-felt manner and some guests are sobbing. Given the Reptoids' several-century lifespans, it makes sense that they are hit especially hard by the loss of a guy called Zurlock the Merciless, circa 500 BCE. | |

The Simpsons: "Homer and Lisa Exchange Cross Words": One of the three musical montages honors words that were taken out of the dictionary, with "Fanfare for the Common Man" playing in the background. "I, (Annoyed Grunt)-Bot": Homer daydreams about making an acceptance speech at the Oscars and a robot killing him for going over the time limit. The robot then segues into this trope, of which the first photo is Homer himself. |

Saturday Night Live: "Lindsay Lohan/Jack White" has a sketch about an award show for psychics with a montage of people who are going to die that year. Needless to say, this comes as a bit of a shock to the people seen in the video. Ultimately including the entire audience of the show, it predicts them to die when the theater catches fire. The "40th Anniversary Special" shows a genuine montage, introduced by Bill Murray, featuring the cast and crew members who had passed on. To lighten things back up, the final tribute was for Jon Lovitz, with the camera cutting to a very alive and confused Lovitz sitting in the audience. Additionally, it ends with an update coming from Spain: "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead." |

Robot Chicken: One such montage cycles past two cast members who apparently died improbable deaths. Seth Green is disappointed in how lame and short the montage was and starts murdering other cast members to improve it. | |

La oreja de Van Gogh inverted this with the music video of "Jueves", which features various Spaniards simply interacting with the camera (saying hi or making gestures) as a remembrance of those who died in the March 11th bombings. It's a testimony of the life spark every human being harbors and that violence snuffles away. | |

The Patrick Star Show parodies this in "The Starry Awards". At his awards show, Patrick gives an In Memoriam montage, mostly consisting of characters on the show who are already ghosts or zombies. The last one is a slide of a random background character, who is in the audience and points out he's still alive. He then gets hit in the head with a falling spotlight and dies. | |

South Park: The characters spoof this trope during one Emmy Award telecast. The montage is presented by the boys and brings Kenny (who dies Once an Episode) up again and again. Apparently, God has died too. And then Kenny dies again when a setpiece crushes him. | |

Family Guy spoofed these kinds of montages as well. In "Da Boom", a New Year's Eve 2000 news broadcast plays a montage of noted people who passed away in the last millennium, including Joan of Arc and, um, Norman Fell. | |

Drawn Together spoofed the trope in "American Idol Parody Clip Show". It's not that the previously never-seen Munchkin Mouse has died, it's that he's been evicted from the house, so the same still image of him is inserted in various clips from the show and passed as a "Munchkin Mouse's Greatest Moments" montage. | |
