If you built your character with only one Psyche point, and turn on the light as soon as you wake up, it gives you a heart attack and an immediate game over.

    Super Paper Mario has a few good ones, most of them from repeatedly saying "No" to a "But Thou Must!"-type scenario, where the only way to advance the plot is say "yes". The first one is right at the start of the game, where you can refuse to go on the quest to save the world and get a game over. The second is where, after going to space, you refuse to put on your helmet and suffocate and die, while your companion fairy judges you for your life choices. Or, life ending choices, I suppose.

    The cult-classic point and click adventure game "Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist", like most of Sierra's games of the time, was loaded with hilarious ways to die. Few, however, were so richly deserved like the one you get if you decide to eat horse poop.
    Yes, at one point in the game, you have to pick up some "horse apples" from the road as an inventory item to solve a puzzle. But, one of the things you can do in this game is attempt to eat items that are in your inventory. So, naturally, it's possible to pop the "plop" in your mouth... but if you do, that dung won't be the only thing that's "dropping", if you catch my drift.
    As you might expect, "ingesting horsey products that was never meant to be ingested" is not good for one's health, and in fact ends up being quite fatal (especially since, you know, it's the Wild West and modern medicine isn't a thing yet). The death message that you get for doing this dirty deed says it all: "Caution: the Surgeon General has determined that you've gotten EXACTLY what you deserved."

    Super Mario 64's Little Big Island, it's not a "game over" but still embarrassing to see the big version of the level's fish leap at you with an open mouth and losing a life if you didn't think it would happen.

    In Harvest Moon DS, one of the first cutscenes in the game has your character's dog attack an important NPC. If you choose not to call the dog off, that NPC dies and you get a game over.
