Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for February 28, 2013
Transcript:
man: you've turned over your last garbage can! I'm gonna kill you dead! verne: But it's impossible for him to kill me if I'm already dead....to kill me implies that I have expired. past tense. thus, "to kill me dead " is redundant and therefore unnecessarily and ultimately inefficient. hammy: What's he doing? RJ: fighting back with the only weapon he has...annoyance. hammy: I keep forgetting he has a superpower

If the humans don’t help him or kill him I hope to see RJ trying to remove that bottle with a blow-torch!!!

“To kill me dead” is perhaps redundant, but it is a standard rhetorical form, called prolepsis, although that interesting word (it means anticipation) is used in a number of other ways.
