miscellaneous [Dark Trope] Implied child death

• Family Guy - In a deleted scene, Evil Stewie is shown entering the bully's house and giving him a noogie. It seems rather harmless until Stewie mentions "Why's his knuckle turning red?" Then screams of the bully are heard, implying that Evil Stewie noogied his head so hard it punched a hole through the bully's head.

• Old (2021) - In a deleted cold opening, a man is shown crawling and shouting for help in the aging island. What makes this more terrifying is that this person could originally have been a baby or child, it's implied since he's walking on all fours

“When I was a kid my parents had a gun. My parents said we had to have a gun. ‘Gotta have a gun to protect the five children.’ Of course, they eventually got rid of it … to protect their four children.”

The last fucking person I expected to see here was Anthony Jeselnik lmfao but I’ll add to it.

Paraphrasing of course:

“Decided I was going to redecorate my place… so I went on eBay and I paid $500 for a child’s coffin. You put that in your living room, it’s a conversation starter. But like so many of the things we bought online during the pandemic, I regret it now. Thing finally showed up in the mail. Empty

No I think it’s a stand up joke that he ordered it and was ‘disappointed’ it arrived empty, which is to be expected of buying a coffin
