"Bot-ily Harm", Way to Die #723, is the first death to be featured in "The End is Weird", which aired on October 19, 2010.
Plot[]
Alex spent his time at home creating robots and breaking things, when he could have gone to any top college in the country. He constantly tortured his parents by wrecking the house. He decided to put the micro-processor of a vaccum robot, motion detectors, and razor-sharp spinning lawnmower blades into one machine in order to make it even more dangerous. He tested its destructive power by making it destroy another one of his robots, which was destroyed in seconds. He put the robot to sleep in order to fix up the other for another round. When he dropped a screw, the robot which was thought to be asleep turned itself on, and when Alex bent down to pick it up, it cuts off two of his fingers, and then slashes his foot off. Alex fell to the floor, and the robot lacerated deep into his abdomen and slices his aorta and vena cava and he died from massive blood loss, sending Alex to hell where he BELONGS.
"Alex put his soldier to sleep, and what about getting his bot ready for another round. A dropped screw awoke the sleeping monster, and before he could pull its plug, Alex's killer robot took its master apart, peace...by...peace."
