1 | '''Basic Trope''': A ButtMonkey that is immune to [[Main/NoOneCouldSurviveThat legitimate and lethal harm]]. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Bob survives getting electrocuted. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Bob gets hit by a nuke, blasted by a giant laser from Emperor Evulz's [[KillSat powerful satellite from outer space]], before [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking getting splashed by water balloons]]. He somehow survives. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': Bob is trampled by a ThunderingHerd, but doesn't get as much as a broken bone. |
5 | * '''Justified''': |
6 | ** It's Bob's NighInvulnerability that lets him take the damage. |
7 | ** Bob has an incredibly high HealingFactor, and thus doesn't shy away from activities or places that could harm him. |
8 | ** Bob is a {{Munchkin}}, [[MinMax who paid for his numerous redundant]] [[StoneWall defences by buying the trait]] "[[BornUnlucky Horrible Luck]]" 10 times over. |
9 | * '''Inverted''': An [[OneHitPointWonder easy to kill character]] is always lucky and always avoids anything that could harm him. |
10 | * '''Subverted''': After looking fine from being electrocuted, he falls over dead. |
11 | * '''Double Subverted''': [[TheyKilledKennyAgain But is mysteriously revived in the next episode.]] |
12 | * '''Parodied''': |
13 | ** Bob is actually moonlighting as a stunt double, as practice to become a ''real'' actor (it turns out he can quote Shakespeare while dodging pianos). |
14 | ** Bob has a detailed record of how many horrible accidents he has had in his life. |
15 | ** Bob [[FearlessFool never cares about his life]] because he never gets harmed anyways. |
16 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Bob seems at first to do this all the time. But actually, it depends on his mood. If he's in a crummy one, just touching him wrong will knock him out cold. The rules are inconsistent about this though. |
17 | * '''Averted''': Bob is not immune to harm, nor he is a ButtMonkey. |
18 | * '''Enforced''': |
19 | ** The show is a SadistShow. |
20 | ** Bob is [[PlotArmor the main character]]. |
21 | * '''Lampshaded''': "Bob, it seems like you get up from just about ''anything''." |
22 | * '''Invoked''': Bob thinks he'd be able to bounce back, so he insists on entering the trapped room first to disarm things, then... |
23 | * '''Exploited''': |
24 | ** It works, and he comes back more or less intact, to fetch his friends. |
25 | ** Alice stands slightly behind and to the side of Bob at all times, to ensure anything painful hits him first and leaves her alone. |
26 | ** Alice used Bob as a BulletproofHumanShield, and it works. |
27 | * '''Defied''': It seems like Bob is going to yet again have something horrendous happen to him, but instead, it's a romance scene. |
28 | * '''Discussed''': "Normally, guys named Bob are subject to getting back on their feet after stuff like that, but you couldn't, could you Bob?" |
29 | * '''Conversed''': "I've always seen these shows where this happens to people, and they get back up." |
30 | * '''Deconstructed''': |
31 | ** If Bob is a child, people will wonder how he gets such frequent injuries, and due to the existence of AbusiveParents, they may jump to the wrong conclusions. |
32 | ** Bob's frequent maimings may not do any permanent damage to him, but they still hurt. A lot. |
33 | * '''Reconstructed''': |
34 | ** Bob fights through [[{{Determinator}} every ounce of pain the world gives him]]; as a result, he learns to block it out and continue functioning more or less normally in the face of extreme punishment. |
35 | ** Perhaps Bob is immune to every form of attack, except for one WeaksauceWeakness. |
36 | * '''Played For Laughs''': Bob is continuously subjected to a series of AmusingInjuries, all without taking harm or complaining. |
37 | * '''Played For Drama''': IronWoobie |
