* ''Fanfic/DuelingTriggerFinger'': By the time he catches up to Nagito, the Rare Hunter that was chasing him has been bit by a dog, trampled, fallen into a river and caught a cold, got bird poop in his eye, hit by a car and knocked over a man's cabbage stand. Marik really ought to offer him hazard pay for all that he had to go through.

* In the ''Literature/SpySchool'' novels Spyder agent [[spoiler: Joshua Hallal]] is assumed dead at the end of the second book. He returns near the beginning of the third with an artificial leg, a hook hand and an eyepatch (which he got swatting at a fly on his face [[EyeScream before he'd gotten used to the hook]] and continues to suffer injuries every time he clashes with the heroes, on one occasion breaking his remaining arm and leg.

Sometimes, it can also involve a huge DoubleStandard. A male character will often suffer them at the hands of a female, who can punch/kick/beat/attack him as much as she wants and it'll be often taken as mere comedy. Try imagining [[WouldntHitAGirl the same situation]] with a GenderFlip... yeah, people will be up in arms. See DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale.

If it does regularly happen to a woman, it is also a SlapstickKnowsNoGender

Amusing Injuries are usually healed via NegativeContinuity. A character constantly suffering them is often an IronButtMonkey. A common variety is ThePratfall. Can overlap with GroinAttack (possibly with InstantSoprano) and AssShove. Required for HyperspaceMallet and MegatonPunch. Extremely common in a PlankGag. CranialEruption is a subtrope. Compare with InconvenientItch. Contrast BloodyHilarious, for when serious injuries are PlayedForLaughs, and ThisIndexIsARealPain.

* During the TrainingMontage of "I'll Make a Man Out of You" in ''Disney/{{Mulan}}'', Yao gets his buttock pierced by a burning arrow, which is played for laughs. This is particularly notable since Mulan's stomach wound later is not only played for drama, but also a major plot point.

* Some of the humor in ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'' comes from the many different ways that Wolffy gets hurt, such as being hit with frying pans, being trampled, being bitten by piranhas, etc. Other characters also have amusing injuries to a lesser extent. Of course, none of these injuries have any long effects on the characters and they're always better in the next scene.

* This trope is par for the course in many classic comic strips, which (being static and somewhat trite) would arguably be less funny for lack of them. You could probably make a DrinkingGame out of all the times [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes Calvin opened the door and announced "I'M HO-OME!"]] only for Hobbes to tackle him and roll around with him in a BigBallOfViolence until Calvin was thoroughly bruised and [[ClothingDamage his clothes were partially shredded]]. Didn't happen so much in ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' (as Charles Schulz preferred to dish out ''psychological'' pain to his characters), but occasionally someone [[ButtMonkey (usually Linus)]] would get knocked on his ass by a punch and have cartoon "whirlies" orbiting around his head.

* At the end of each Advertising/{{Pepsiman}} commercial, Pepsiman would receive one of these, which was also applied to the Pepsi can at the end. For example, in one commercial, he hits his head on a window, with the Pepsi can having a dent in the top. One action figure bizarrely titled "The Fuct of Pepsiman" actually came with a crutch.

The TARDIS crew, on the other hand, [[RealityEnsues is not that lucky]].
