We all have those from the lazy kills ST's do to write off an NPC (or PC) to the truly epic, share them here!
I'll give you one of my lazier kills as an ST:
I needed to explain (gamewise) why a PC wasn't going to be showing up anymore. So I told everyone that the character had dissappeared. Because everybody knew what actually happened the Characters didn't push it too far. But to wrap it up nicely a group of Werewolves drove up in a tiny little Volvo (all in Crinos Form) and threw his very bloody shirt on the ground. The End.
Creative? No. Fulfilling? No. Plot Worthy? No. Funny? My players seemed to agree. It was the best cop out I ever used.

My buddy Scott who normally ST's, because they say I'm too harsh, has a phrase coined after how he deals with difficult and unruly characters who like to use player knowledge to get what they want. Thunderbolt and die. I think that is self explanatory. Example of an instance when that is used: Player so and so wants to learn such and such a skill but has nobody to teach them. So they figure well since I know what the skill does my character is goin to automatically know it and instantly put it into use. Wrong.
Or his personal favorite when he feels we are getting over too easy (especially when playing VtM), out comes the pack of Crinos form lycans. b*****d.

I personally like to have the "problem" groups custom tailored to the players characters. One of my groups needed to learn just to stay away from the hookers. Just stay away. Another group needed to steer clear of the local Ecstatic Mages house. Oh, the mage was fine, it was his "experiments" that became a problem.

I've not killed many NPC. But plently of PCs...
My favorite was a high-powered Camarilla game - the Ventrue primogen had managed to begin a feud with a potent Order of Hermes (Forces specialised) Mage.
He sent his Childe to go kill him. The next night he discoverd a large bag. The bag contained the ashes of his childer, and a note suggesting he doesn't try it again.
He does try again, the next bag also contains a box. The box contains a large fireball.

...there was also that time I died when the GM said "I'll be allowing Stunting dice" so I responded by trying to backflip into a circle of machine-gun wielding ghouls and mowing them down.
I rolled about three 1's in a row. It was a horrific death...

Playing VtR(I'm part of the new generation, sue me), I'm trying to take a kid back whos been taken hostage by a hostile group. I'm about to take the kid out of his captors bed, when the guy wakes up and slams an axe in my chest, then turns into his Garou(chrinos) form. Because I was a noob, I manifest my claws, and attack, miss, and then he attacks, hits, and spreads my innards all over the room.
Never took on a werewolf again, unless I was stronger, outnumbered them 2 to 1, or had a realy ******** big gun.

Well one of my favorite traps in my DnD game was when the DM set up a trap that turned the one who opened the chest into a woman (all male game) I believe I had pissed him off, and found out later he was going to spring it from whichever chest was mine, out of the three available, but I opted out and let the other three party members open the chest. the one who got hit was not happy - especially since the spiteful DM said it was non reversable. the character commited a rather spectacular suicide via the dungeon's Red dragon later that adventure.
