This strip seems to lampshade it well.

Or if it doesn't fit this trope, what would it fit? The OP can be adjusted accordingly.

Well I think this might be better for Idiot Ball, since they don't die, but the action is really stupid.

We can't use single-panel cartoons.

I don't even understand the comic... He found a tape deck in the desert, what does that have to do with Distress Ball?

The implication from the context is that humans do it all the time. But I guess that's not clear in that one strip.

But how do tape decks cause distress? I don't think that image is clear at all...

I admitted that it's not clear. Since not everyone here knows that Soundwave's original form was a tape deck, it wouldn't work.
