Later episodes dealt with this issue by making certain the victims were too stupid or mean to be sympathetic. These early episodes were just cringe inducing. Another cracked jokes about a girl who only died because she took her high heels off and then stepped in a puddle which unbeknownst to her had a wire in it. One sketch made a pun about the death of a laundry worker who died because his idiot co-worker didn't bother to unplug the dryer he was cleaning. The first episode poked fun at people who died, often at work, for things that weren't really their fault. The writers took a few episodes to find the right formula.
