[edit] Sudden death in fiction
Don't know if these are worth including as matters of humour...
In an episode of "Fantasy Island", the two best-known game show hosts (one played by Gene Rayburn, a real game-show host) "duke it out" in the "ultimate" game show, hosted by Mr. Roarke. Having finished out with one win each and working together to survive the third contest, Mr. Roarke asks if they'd like to take part in one final tie-breaker, "I believe you call it, a 'sudden-death'?" The men decline, knowing the "realism" of Fantasy Island.
In an episode of "The Facts of Life", to fill time on the university radio station after the turntables are broken, Jo's friends, Natalie, Blair and Tootie participate in talk programming. Blair reads the sports results from prepared text, including a line, "(x) lost to (x) in sudden death...". "How awful!" she exclaims, noting that it seems the team players all died.
