Added DiffLines:

* '''Straight''': Alice beats Bob up for an AccidentalPervert moment. He's seen in bandages for the next few scenes, but it's never taken seriously and things are back to normal shortly afterward.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Alice beats Bob to the brink of death for being an AccidentalPervert. He spends the next scene with crutches and covered in bandages and such, but the scene is intended to be funny, and after that, he's fine.
** BloodyHilarious
* '''Downplayed''':
** Bob simply gets a cut on his finger, but everyone still thinks it's funny.
** As per Straight trope, except it's outright stated that at least a couple of hours had to pass for Bob's recovery from his injury and/or at least Candice is somewhat unsettled by Alice's sheer violence.

** Bob get a seemingly minor cut on his finger, and Alice desparately calls for an ambulance. And the whole thing is PlayedForDrama.

* '''Parodied''': Alice beats and shoots Bob to the brink of death, doesn't understand why she's getting arrested and everyone is horrified and thinks she lost her mind. Carrol asks what the hell was she thinking being so cavalier with violence.

* '''Enforced''': "This is a cartoon, we can't have characters going through all that suffering and angst over their wounds! Still, the villain has to hurt them somehow, to help him seem evil- let's play those injuries for laughs!"

* '''Invoked''': Bob doesn't want other characters worrying about him, so he pretends not to treat his injury seriously and tries to get rid of the bandages, crutches, etc. as soon as possible.

* '''Defied''': "Heh... heh... man, that was funny..." "[[DudeNotFunny No it wasn't]]! She ''nearly'' killed me! What's her [[AxCrazy issue]]?"

* '''Deconstructed''':
** Because Bob heals so soon from his injuries and everyone just treats them as some kind of joke, he goes into a deep depression, realizing he's fated to be constantly injured by his friends for the rest of his life.
** Alternatively, Alice feels so guilty for causing such injuries to Bob that she becomes depressed.
** UnfortunateImplications and a perceived DoubleStandard alienates the majority of the audience, and the show is canceled.
