I believe the title is self explanatory.
Well, any suggestions?
Screw funny. Right now I’d go for painless and effective, thanks.
Ummmmm… DrainBead? Are you ok?
Drain Bead, I hope you’re being sarcastic.
Funny? Hmmm, how about … How about throwing yourself off the golden gate bridge, landing on a transport ship that is importing cheap pillows from China, deciding to live after all after the huge pile of pillows cushions your fall, but getting sick from an allergy to whatever chinese pillows are stuffed with and dying after a heroic life-and-death struggle involving the best medical care in the western world. Actually that’s not funny so much as ironic.
No suicide is funny, FreakFreely. Geez… :rolleyes: 
A man once told me that a girl hung herself naked from her bra in a mental hospital. I don’t suppose that’s really funny, but I giggled. Maybe because it happened in a mental hospital. She had a spoon and a toothbrush in her stomach when they did the autopsy. (This is what I heard. I suppose the credibility of the man who told me is pretty good, too. It still sounds a bit unbelieveable.)
Silver_Fire - I see the direction this subject is taking. I hereby disavow all responsibility or affiliation with this thread. (Maybe I’m humorless but I can’t find it in me to summon up a giggle from your story.)
Yeah. I can’t think of any funny suicides. Only funny near misses or ironic attempted suicides followed by death.
Although I suppose deciding to be killed by moose might be humourous.
Funniest unintentional suicide:
The guy who played Russian Roullette…with an automatic pistol. He lost.
Hmmm… I wouldn’t say it’s funny that she killed herself. Of course that’s not funny. “Maybe because it happened in a mental hospital.” Okay, that’s not that funny either. Ironic? That they were supposed to be helping her with whatever problems she may have had? That, whatever they were doing, quite obviously didn’t help? Maybe. In any case, I apologize for whatever “fun” I may have sucked out of the thread.
I agree suicide is not funny if it really happened. However, there is a little humor in almost any subject.
Do Darwin Awards count?
Here’s one that couldn’t have happened, but…

1999 Darwin Awards Overkill I
In France, Jacques LeFevrier left nothing to chance when he decided to commit suicide. He stood atop a sheer cliff and tied a noose around his neck. He tied the other end of the rope to a large rock. He drank some poison and set fire to his clothes. He even tried to shoot himself at the last moment. He jumped and fired the pistol. The bullet missed him completely and cut through the rope above him. Now freed from the threat of hanging, he plunged into the sea. The dunking extinguished the flames and made him vomit the poison. He was dragged out of the water by a kind fisherman and was taken to a hospital, where he died of hypothermia.
Sick and sad, but a little funny.
well what do you know, it hyperlinked by itself. huh.
Hmmm…either the French guy was following chapter-and-verse from Healey and Glanville’s Urban Legends Unplugged, or the Darwin Awards people are having serious problems in checking their facts.
I say either some amazingly convoluted Rube-Goldberg-esque sleeping monkey gets burnt by a candle which destroys a string holding a hammer over a glass bell which contains a cobra who eats the mouse that is tied to a string which pulls on the trigger of a cannon which shoots a cannonball that sails up over your bed and squishes the monkey, who in his last dying breath is able to throw the cobra (which has by now crawled under the bed and toward the expiring monkey) at you in a last ditch bitter attempt at revenge.
or just purposely slip on a banana and land on your head.
Suicide is not funny. There isn’t any way that you could do it that would be funny.
I’m sorry - this hit a nerve, no offense Freak.
My father killed himself. Didn’t die right away, and my brother found him. My brother still, years later, has nightmares about it. 
Again, no offense Freak.
I hope anyone who ever considers suicide seeks professional help ASAP.
Oooh Oooh I actually got one. The UL thing got me thinking.
Someone tries to commit suicide by drining coke and eating pop-rocks, hoping that they will explode. Of course no such thing happens, however the Coke had been tainted by botchulism before it was canned. The victim gets a horrible case of food poisoning and dies.
Not suicide per se, but I find the death of Rasputin to be darkly humorous.
I knew a guy who dumped a can of gasoline on himself and burned himself to death. His name was Phoenix, no shit. (Now tell me you didn’t just laugh at that!) It’s soooo hard to convey sympathy for something like that when you’re trying to stifle laughter. “Sorry to hear about Phoenix going up in flames Snork”
Pull Steven Seagal’s ponytail.
I gotta agree that I don’t find suicide funny. Usually I find it really disturbing.
I can think of a funny accidental death from a movie, though. Namely Clerks, where Randal’s cousin broke his neck trying to suck his own dick. But he made it. Found with his lips resting on his balls. If you’ve seen the movie, you know you laughed your asses off at that. That’s as close as I can come to someone killing themselves that I thought was funny. Of course, it’s just a movie. I don’t know what I would think if it was in real life. Probably laugh out of being stunned, if nothing else.
Throw yourself under a steamroller? It would definitely make New of the Weird.
The funniest death I’ve ever heard of was Chuckles the Clown getting killed by a berserk elephant while dressed as a giant peanut.
