What are games that piss you off when you get killed in a cheap/really stupid way?

This game Ive been playing lately and I laugh my ass off how cheap the deaths are

Why do many video game characters take damage from simply bumping into enemies, and yet enemies take no damage from that at all

I was pretty pissed when my character died to a nuke during a cutscene in CoD4.
Like if they had given me control I could've just dodge rolled through the blast.

In Megaman X5 (or 6), unlike every other video game ever... you can unduck when ducking under a crusher, killing you instantly.

This topic made me think though, isn't there a game where the goal is to die in as many absurd ways as possible? Like Goat Simulator, but with a sewer sidle man. If not, I'd call it "Do A Flip"

And actually, now that I think about it, I had a dream once about a concept for a film/video game of a man who has an accidental death but wakes up in bed afterwards. Thinking it was just a dream, he goes on with his day but has hit happen again and eventually comes to the realization that he just respawns every time he dies. The film/game plays with the idea that he learns to live his life with no reservations as he no longer has a fear of death, while on a broader sense, is trying to find answers for why this is happening to him.

You should make it take place on National Squirrel Appreciation Day and name the movie National Squirrel Appreciation Day.

Kind of sounds like the movie "Groundhog Day"

If you're making a Groundhog Day reference, that's the vibe I was feeling. Also mixed with Free Guy in some way.

Yeah, but I suppose in this film the world and time would continue along, so he wouldn't necessarily being starting over the day. Just respawning.

Dodge rolling in a refrigerator is a long shot, but it might be the only shot we got.

I've taken damage from stepping on things like bones and plates in Skyrim and various Fallout games. If my health had been low enough, it could have been fatal.

"How did the Dragonborn die?"

"He tripped over a potato."

It wasn't me dying, but one of the dumbest and most hilarious deaths involved a bridge in Quake II. At one end there's a switch that causes the bridge to drop into a pool of lava, and on the other side there's a whole bunch of berserkers. I'd get them to chase me across the bridge, then hit the switch and they'd fall into the lava. And if the bridge was down, they're wait at the other end until it came back up, then charge across. Because I wouldn't hit the switch again, now would I?

Yeah I always thought it was funny that when you're perfectly healthy, in basically every game ever, you can get shot in the face and keep moving / living just fine as long as you still have at least a little bit of help left. But if your health is low, and someone shoves you gently, you immediately die.

King's Quest and Space Quest games come to mind.

The publisher even coined a motto, "save often and save well" to combat this particular phenomenon.
