'''Basic Trope''': Wounds bleed to an unrealistic degree.
* '''Straight''': Alice cuts off Bob's hand, causing a geyser of blood.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Alice gives Bob a papercut, causing a bloody tsunami.
** Bob has hemophilia, as well as insanely high blood pressure. By the time his blood stops spraying, his entire house looks like the scene of a particularly grisly murder.
* '''Downplayed''': Bob suffers an arterial bleed, which actually ''can'' (and in fact does) realistically spurt blood, albeit very briefly.
* '''Justified''':
** Bob is an alien with much higher blood pressure than a human.
** Bob is OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank.
* '''Inverted''': BloodlessCarnage
* '''Subverted''': Alice cuts off Bob's hand and blood fills the screen ... wait, that's just a close-up. The camera pulls back, and he's bleeding profusely, but not unrealistically.
* '''Double Subverted''': The camera pulls back to show Bob bleeding normally ... and then it pulls back even further to show that he's been bleeding for a '''long''' time.
* '''Parodied''':
** The force of the bleeding sends Bob flying backwards and down the street, screaming, "Hooooooowwwww do you sssssstooooooop this thiiiiiing?"
** [[SirSwearsALot Bob's]] hand gets cut clean off, and there is a DelayedReaction before the blood starts spurting like a volcano erupting.
--->"AAAAAAAGH! Fucking hell, you cut my hand off, you goddamn-" *A geyser of blood starts pouring out* [[OhCrap "HOLY FUCK!"]]
** Bob accidentally sprays [[ButtMonkey Harold]] [[NauseaFuel in the face with his blood]].
* '''Zig-Zagged''': There appears to be no correlation between the severity of wounds and the presence of blood geysers.
* '''Averted''': When Bob gets hurt, he bleeds like any normal human.
* '''Enforced''': The show is meant to be BloodyHilarious.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Geez, how much blood do you have?!"
* '''Invoked''': Bob is [[FakingTheDead faking his own death]], and it has to be visible and convincing to people several hundred feet away.
* '''Exploited''': Bob cuts off his hand and uses the spray of blood to put out a fire.
* '''Defied''': Bob goes on a low-sodium diet to reduce his blood pressure and prevent this sort of thing.
* '''Discussed''': "I guess his blood pressure was ... ''[[MemeticMutation OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAND!!!!]]''"
* '''Conversed''': "With all the blood being sprayed around on this show, you would think they'd be getting dizzy by now."
* '''Implied''': Alice walks into a room with Bob's body lying on the floor without a hand, and every inch of the room painted red with blood.
* '''Deconstructed''': Bob bleeds to death in seconds.
* '''Reconstructed''':
** Bob bleeds to death in seconds, but he has an UnexplainedRecovery, and is in the next scene.
** Bob recovers because he has a HealingFactor.
* '''Plotted a Good Waste''': The show normally operates within the strict realm of reality. Bob's gushing blood is meant to be used to alert the audience that this is just a NightmareSequence. Later, however, he gets in a situation where he runs the risk of incurring this consequence for real...
* '''Played for Laughs''': Bob has a MajorInjuryUnderreaction.
* '''Played for Drama''': Bob was NighInvulnerable to every other danger he'd faced, and when he dies, the others angst about the scale of the threat they're now facing.
