Hilarious Ways Movie Characters Bit The Dust

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball. But that doesn't mean you can dodge a falling sign. It takes a lot of effort to die on cue. To wait for that ideal moment, when the irony will be at its most delicious, and everyone will be like, boy, we really set that one up perfectly.

Sure, Pete LaFleur (Vince Vaughn) was probably pretty bummed that his mentor died in a such a ridiculous way, being crushed to death by a neon sign in the middle of a casino, just as the stakes of their unlikely journey through the world of dodgeball was at its most precarious. But you also get the sense he would've been pretty impressed with his timing, stating, "As long as we got Patches, we've got a shot," seconds before the rowdy coach met his untimely end.

Add in that the Mr. O'Houlihan was crushed by a sign that read "Luck of the Irish," and Pete probably started wondering if there wasn't some higher power behind this death. Like a god, or a screenwriter.
