Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Animated characters in Non-Fatal Explosions usually just get charred, but a really big boom (or really hot fire) will do more. The entire victim's body turns to ash and crumbles into a dozen pieces, except for the eyeballs, which bounce into the mess. Then another character will produce a broom and dustpan, and sweep up the ashes, eyeballs and all. Or a (relatively intact) arm reaches from the ash, produces a broom and dustpan, and the character sweeps himself up. Of course, all will be well a few seconds later. Also see Ash Face, where the explosion leaves the victim with a blackened face. |

It's happened to Tom of Tom and Jerry a few times, too, though moreso in the Chuck Jones shorts. This must have been a favorite trope of his. | |

Happens to several of the Looney Tunes characters: Wile E. Coyote swept up his own ashes in almost every Roadrunner cartoon. Daffy Duck sometimes did this with his feathers. He also does the full-on ashes version during the disintegrator pistol duel in Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century. Also, Foghorn Leghorn, when he gets his feathers blasted off for one reason or another. One episode had Porky getting so angry at Daffy he burned himself up to ashes, then the smoke from the ashes condensed and transformed into Porky once again. |

Bizarrely shown in many Paranoia illustrations. The "nothing left but a smoking pair of boots and a laser pistol" variation is so prominent a Running Gag that it's trademarked. | |

Discworld: In The Truth this has to be done for Otto several times. He's a vampire photographer. The light from the device is enough to turn him to dust. It's mentioned in Small Gods that anyone who says gods don't exist is usually struck by lightning on a clear day, leaving only ashes, a pair of shoes, and a sign that says, "YES, WE DO". |
