One of my main villain's minions/comrades is an Type 1 immortal. He has only one skill called "The Stand" which roots him firmly into one spot...not that it matters so much anyways.

He's dismotivated, apathetic, and somewhat ditzy. He's pretty much powerless except being immortal and I'm intending to use him more as a comic relief than anything.

Now, how can I abuse the living hell out of this guy?

By 'immortal' do you mean "can't die of old age" or "can't die period"? Because the latter I would call more 'invulnerable'. If they can't die but can be hurt, how precisely does that work?

Oh, just invulnerable, but he can still feel pain. If you hit him on the back of his head, he will writhe in pain for few seconds or so, before shrugging it off.

The player character of Planescape Torment is an immortal, and occasionally uses this to hilarity. Among the jests are letting people pay him for a chance to kill him, and punctuating points by committing suicide.

There's a lot of this stuff under Iron Butt-Monkey.

That's Feo . . . He's a disgusting, mysoginistic, paedophilic asshat who moonlights as a shitty writer—Something Awful

It would be, except his immortality power does come to effect from time to time. Ohterwise, I wouldn't even have bothered XD.

Have him being a reoccuring suicide bomber.

Make him fake his own death for kicks on people he dosen't know.

Annoy traffic by using his power in front of a huge truck.

Have him crucified and used as a hat rack.

At the character's introduction, set up a "You Have Failed Me for the last time!"-type scene, complete with the villain shooting the minion, who then stands back up. Then elaborate on how the whole affair is just a scaled-up Dope Slap that happens pretty frequently and that neither really takes all that seriously.

Ooohh, maybe I can have him repeatedly thrown into Shark Pool (piranha or crocodiles will work as well) and have him commenting how much they stink and annoying.
