6. Putting A Lockpick Up Your Nose - Quest For Glory

By all means, dying by sticking a lock pick too far up your nose should not be a funny way to die. It sounds like a pretty rough way to go, not to mention reminds you of all those gross brain removals you've watched people talk about on various historical documentaries.

And yet it's also entirely possible to live out this strange demise via the world of video games. In both the original Quest For Glory and the remake, trying to use a lock pick without the necessary skill in it will lead you to jam the pick up your nose in a questionable attempt at using it. It'll then go further than you can survive, causing your brain to haemorrhage and you to regret not having saved way, way more recently.

This death delicately balances the line between being hilarious and actually being a bit traumatic - in true point-and-click puzzle fashion. It does also serve as a kind of warning against an especially surreal, but presumably possible, kind of death - meaning it may have saved some nose-picking gamers from an early grave.
