It portrays the deaths using live-action recreations of the events along with expert and sometimes witness testimony, also using graphic computer-generated imagery animations, similar to those used in the popular TV show CSI, to illustrate the ways people have died. The show is filled with black humor (particularly in the narration) which tempers the otherwise somber theme of death. However, the third part of the story is made up. The katana incident happened to Shawn Leflar on The Knife Collector's Show on the Shop at Home Network in 2001. The ladder collapse happened to Harold McCoo on the Cable Value Network in 1988, although he was unhurt.

Some of the stories include elements of truth, for example #396 – " onesie & Donesie," where an accident-prone TV shopping network host is injured by a collapsing ladder, stabbed by the tip of a broken katana, then finally burned to death when a onesie he is wearing catches fire. For example, death #692 – "Gone Fission", a story of two hapless Yemeni terrorists in 2009, implausibly attempting to build an atomic bomb, may have been based on the real Demon Core accident involving US scientist Harry Daghlian in 1945.

Some take enormous poetic license with the truth. Some of the deaths resemble real life events they are based on, for example death #197 – "Dead Eye" was based on the real life death of Jon Desborough. One notable exception is the accurate description of the death of Harry Houdini.Ī frequently recurring motif is that of unsympathetic individuals' choices backfiring on them, resulting in death. Not only are the names changed, but substantial amounts of the locations, dates and context. 1000 Ways to Die takes a tongue-in-cheek dark humor with approach to death through its presentation of stories derived from both myths and science, and the show makes liberal use of artistic license to significantly embellish or change the circumstances of real-life incidents that resulted in death for greater entertainment value.
