* ''Anime/{{Exception}}''. When a malfunction causes Lewis to be created as a comatose HumanoidAbomination, it's decided to MercyKill him and start the process again. Nina uses a sedative and muscle relaxant before the lethal injection to kill Lewis as humanely as possible, assuring him as she does the first injection, "You shouldn't feel a thing. You'll just start sleeping a little deeper than you are now." Unfortunately he ''does'' feel the injection, waking up and going on a rampage.

* In the ''Manga/GunslingerGirl'' fanfic ''And the Adventure Continues'', Jethro does a AfterActionPatchup on his cyborg Monty, so he tells her the antiseptic will sting to remind her to [[FeelNoPain act like it does]], because he's doing this in front of a witness who doesn't know about cyborgs.

* ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'': Fitz manages to make an antidote to the ghost insanity, which comes in an epipen-like device. Unfortunately, it's not quite as easy as an epipen.
-->'''Fitz:''' To counteract the psychosis, the serum needs to be delivered directly into the brain stem, so... the injector... needs to be placed at the base of the skull.\\
'''Mack:''' Oh-ho-ho, no. Now, you know I don't like needles.\\
'''Fitz:''' Well, I mean, it's a bee sting, really. ''[shows him the end of the device, which is some medieval hook and prong contraption]''\\
'''Mack:''' Oh ''hell''-- ''[pod drops away]''

Alternatively, the procedure will actually not hurt at all but it's the outcome that is the problem. Maybe the execution method or the forced transformation is painless, but the promise it will be so is a hollow distraction from the victim's fate.

* ''Anime/{{Digimon Adventure 02}}'': Oikawa assures Ken it won't hurt when Oikawa extracts the Dark Seed from him. Whether Oikawa believed this or not, the way Ken groans in pain, cries out to his friends for help, and finally passes out clearly proves he was wrong.

* In Telltale's ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDead'' season 2, at one point Clementine has to [[spoiler:help disinfect Kenny's eye, which was severely injured in a previous episode]]. You are given the choice to either say the trope name or be more honest about how painful the procedure is going to be. Or, [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential if you're feeling extra dickish]], [[InvertedTrope make it sound like it's going to be extra painful]].

** This trope is inverted with a ''vengeance'' in Episode Two of ''The Walking Dead: Michonne''. [[spoiler: After Sam gets shot in the shoulder while fleeing from Randal and his flunkies, Michonne has to extract the bullet from the wound (which is graphically oozing blood, by the way) and then cauterize it with a red-hot fire poker while Sam is screaming at the top of her lungs, all capped off with what Michonne says before she does it]].
-->'''Michonne:''' Not gonna lie. This is gonna ''really fucking hurt.''

Merrick even outright denies Lincoln's claim that it hurts. [[spoiler:Little surprise he's the ''Main/BigBad''.]]
