Line #21 PlayingWith/IronButtmonkey


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
