A monitor is an extremely high voltage device. If you could cause a feedback of just about any voltage higher than it needs on the monitor output socket you could easily damage your motherboard.
How does he shoot them after he shot himself in the head? Also, what causes him to snap in half?

based on this post you're not qualified to answer electrical engineering questions 
It COULD happen, but the chances are so low that I would be willing to stand in a bucket of salt water with the signal cable for a known-dead, known-sparky monitor dropped in as well. I've disassembled over 50 monitors as a part of my hobby, and I'm rather confident in the safety of the signal cable.

I personally can't see the monitor shooting an unregulated amount of electricity back into the card. Unless you dumped bong water inside of it, while quickly stashing the evidence.

This is a valid point, if you were an idiot and poured water or some other conductive liquid into your monitor by some means, all bets are off and you belong on darwin awards.
Ew, PCCHIPS motherboards? those are like... trailer trash or something. I would rather use a Foxconn board, and that's saying a lot
