* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'':
** In the episode "No One Can Hear You", Finn gets his legs snapped backwards by a rampaging deer. His reaction before passing out? ''"Whatever."'' The look on his face, however, tells a different story. Played straighter near the end of the episode, where Finn admits in a cheerful tone that his legs are still broken.
** The Ice King in "Lady and Peebles" has been torn open by [[spoiler:Ricardio]] and his living tissue used to grow a fortress of flesh. Appropriately, Princess Bubblegum is freaked out, but Ice King seems pretty nonchalant about it.
--->'''Ice King:''' (''calmly'') It hurt, oh ''boy''. How 'bout a hug? Please? I ''need'' it...
** In "Escape from the Citadel", Finn [[spoiler:has his arm ''torn off at the elbow'']], but doesn't even mention it, being far more concerned with [[spoiler:his dad abandoning him again.]] Earlier in the same episode, [[spoiler:Finn's dad]] Martin has his right lower leg StrippedToTheBone and calmly asks Finn and Jake to treat the injury with healing blood of the citadel's guardian; the most he says about the wound is that it "really stings."
** In "Graybles 1000+", the Ice King [[OhNoNotAgain is more annoyed if anything]] upon waking up to see that his leg is broken.
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'', Tails tries to defuse a bomb with a sledgehammer, despite the protests of Sonic, who's standing nearby. Fortunately, Tails misses the bomb... only to [[AgonyOfTheFeet hit Sonic in the foot instead]]. Sonic doesn't even sound remotely in pain, but he is a bit snarky about it.
-->'''Sonic:''' I'm just glad you missed -- the bomb, that is! ''[lifts up his foot to reveal its injuries]''
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' characters do this often, occasionally as part of a MediumBlending gag.
** Richard nonchalantly mentions that he broke 5 ribs in "The Prank" when he pretended to be crazy and ran through several walls.
** In "The Picnic", Gumball and Darwin are completely calm about [[EyeScream their eyes being on fire]], even when Darwin says "there are no words to describe the pain I feel right now".
** In "The Bet", Bobert blows up the nurse's office with the nurse still in it, and the nurse just puts a bandage on her charred body (which is ''also'' [[AnimateInanimateObject a bandage]]) before passing out.
** Gumball casually states "now you have to take me to the infirmary" after a series of [[AbnormalLimbRotationRange bizarre rotations of portions of his body]] cause his heart to end up in his stomach and his lungs to end up in his arms.
** {{Double Subver|sion}}ted in "The Voice". Gumball accidentally knocks Sussie's eye out in an attempt to find something to apologize to her for. She screams "Aaah! Aaah! Aaah! But Sussie like this, too!"
** One of the cutouts in "The Extras" snaps himself in half trying to reach down to get popcorn. He's just happy he got the popcorn.
** The red construction worker in "The Butterfly" is just mildly annoyed that his head got knocked off, and the construction workers in general (all LEGO men) don't seem to care about losing limbs either, just putting themselves back together offscreen.
** Darwin throws a lady through a window in "The Safety". She doesn't mind.
** In "The Nobody", a pot falls off a shelf and is smashed on Gumball's head and he falls back on a chair when he tries to find a hidden room. He doesn't even flinch.
* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': Mostly happens with Stan, likely as a result of him being sturdier than average due to his CIA training, though sometimes other characters get in on it.
** In "Tears of a Clooney", Francine doesn't seem bothered when her hand gets full of glass after she punches a window.
** In "Stanny Boy and Frantastic", Stan gets a compound fracture in his leg after falling down a stairwell, leaving his bone visibly sticking out. He's fairly chill about it but mentions that he's about to go into shock.
** In "Toy Whorey", Roger drives out of his cliffside estate, only to plummet to the ground below because [[MyopicArchitecture there's nothing beyond the garage door]]. After [[EveryCarIsAPinto the car explodes]], he then calmly says that he'll take his bike instead.
** In "Holy Shit, Jeff's Back!", when Hayley goes through the Blorpher and it shreds her like a woodchipper on one end to rebuild her on the other, she pulls Roger through it along with her. Roger flatly states that it's a very, very deep pain.
** In "Next of Pin", when Stan admits that he stabbed Steve in his leg to end his bowling career, he stabs himself 10 times to show that it's not that painful. He doesn't flinch during any of them, but he quickly passes out.
** In "She Swill Survive", a CIA agent [[LifeOrLimbDecision whose leg gets stuck to the ground with maple syrup]] nonchalantly shoots said leg off and hops away.
** "The Bitchin' Race" has Stan getting stabbed in the chest by a yak's horn. He isn't terribly phased by it and even pushes it further into his chest and out his back.
** Similar to the first example, in "I Am the Jeans: The Gina Lavetti Story", Francine [[AGlassInTheHand explodes a wine glass in her hand in frustration]], then rubs the resulting blood in her hair.
** In "Exquisite Corpses", Roger isn't bothered by having a knife thrown into his stomach.
* ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'': In "Sirens", when Carl is [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext told to cut off his own nipples]], he agrees and doesn't express any pain because he's too drunk to feel it.
* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', Iroh can't decide whether a plant he found is a type of tea leaf, or poisonous.
-->'''Iroh:''' Zuko, remember that plant I thought might be tea?\\
'''Zuko:''' You didn't!\\
'''Iroh:''' I did. ''[turns around to show his face has become red and swollen]'' And it wasn't.\\
'''Zuko:''' ''[repulsed]'' Yah!\\
'''Iroh:''' When the rash spreads to my throat, I will stop breathing.
* [[TheChewToy Waspinator]] from ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' does this a lot. He seems to care less about the excruciating pain of being crushed, impaled, blown to bits, etc. than the [[OnceAnEpisode frequency with which it happens to him]] and the fact that nobody else seems to care when it does. That, and he's annoyed about having to [[PullingThemselvesTogether put himself back together]] all the time.
* In ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman'', Sarah Lynn stabs herself with a rusty bayonet in the middle of a hardware store, [[AttentionWhore mostly to call attention to herself and her breakup with Andrew Garfield]]. She doesn't have much of a reaction to the pain. Although [=BoJack=] drives her to a hospital, she apparently didn't get official help, as she shows up at [=BoJack=]'s house with ''duct tape'' where the ''rusty bayonet'' had gone through. She proceeds to proclaim herself "Good as new." [[note]]Duct tape ''can'', in fact, be used as an ''emergency'' first aid adhesive for bleeding wounds, but requires prompt, professional medical care and proper dressing as soon as possible after application.[[/note]]
* ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'':
** The titular canine's usual reaction to getting injured is to let out a weak, wheezy laugh.
** Katz's normal reaction to getting hit? A deadpan delivery of one of his CatchPhrase, "I wish you hadn't done that."
** In the episode "Courage the Fly", Eustace attempts to trap Courage (who is...well...[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a fly]]; long story) with fly paper, but ends up sticking it to Muriel's face instead. Upon removing it, he ''[[TearOffYourFace rips her face off]] with it'', leaving no more than a now-pissed-off skull for a face. Her reaction? To demand that Eustace put it back, lest he get "cold cuts for dinner". Eustace begrudgingly complies, but accidentally puts it back on upside-down. "Oh, you ''are'' cheeky." She says in what sounds like mild frustration before Eustace turns her face the right way.
* Occurs numerous times in ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'', most notably in the montage of Captain Hero's "adult childhood" where he falls off of his bike and scrapes his knee in a stereotypically childish manner. When he reveals the scrape, a large section of his leg is missing with his bone snapped but it is treated as a scrape anyway.
* Happens all the time in ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy''. For example, when Ed's [[MyLittlePanzer toy]] makes [[TorsoWithAView a hole in Eddy's belly]], he seems more upset about the toy eating his breakfast than the hole in his stomach.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'': During the beginning of ''WesternAnimation/AbraCatastrophe'' parodying ''Franchise/StarWars'' (Timmy being Skywalker, naturally), Timmy's hand gets lightsaber'd off like in the movie, but his response is different: "Hey, I've only got two of those!"
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
** A cutaway gag features Brian talking to a disfigured WWII veteran. Disfigured as in, ''he's only a head''.
--->'''Veteran:''' I'm glad I could do my part.\\
'''Brian:''' I think you might have done too much.
** Another cutaway shows what the family would be like if they were stereotypical high-class gentlemen. Halfway through the scene, Peter spontaneously combusts and calmly says "Oh dear." then describes it in an incredibly casual manner.
** Yet another one features Peter asking Chris to turn a firehose on so he can take a drink. Chris accidentally blasts the flesh off of Peter's entire head leaving nothing but a skull.
--->'''Peter:''' [[SkewedPriorities Nice job, Chris. You got my shirt wet.]]
** One CutawayGag has Peter accidentally turn up the pressure in a decompression chamber so high that [[EyeScream everyone's eyeballs burst out of their sockets]]. The other guys in the chamber are more annoyed than anything else ("Nice going, jackass!"), Peter gets defensive and doesn't acknowledge it at all, and then they all get into a [[WimpFight petulant slap-fight]].
** This show (and its writers) seems to love this trope. Some more injuries include Peter having his entire face scratched off by a monkey to [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Meg having her face burnt off]] by [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk the Ark of The Covenant]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/FriskyDingo'', Killface is somewhat concerned about the giant pipe impaling his left lung, but he insists that the doctor treat the shallow cut on his son's arm first.
** A later episode has a rocket pierce him through the chest. He's only mildly annoyed at the whole situation. Even the gaping hole it left after the explosion doesn't faze him much.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'':
** After Planet Express's boiler blows up, we see Fry (and Zoidberg) in a hospital, seeming rather nonchalant, then it pans down to show he's been [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impaled with a pipe]].
--->'''Zoidberg:''' Oh, the hypochondriac's back! So what is it this time?\\
'''Fry:''' Well, my lead pipe hurts a little.\\
'''Zoidberg:''' That's normal.
** Fry losing limbs, or being otherwise grievously injured, and not being fazed has become a running gag at this point.
** This is pretty typical for Zoidberg. Even ''his own autopsy'' struggles to hold his attention.
--->''[surgeon removes Zoid's heart]''\\
'''Zoidberg:''' Take, I've got four of them.\\
''[surgeon starts cutting something with a hacksaw]''\\
'''Zoidberg:''' Don't cut that! I need that to speak!\\
''[surgeon pauses, then resumes cutting -- faster]''
* ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeRenegades'' has Major Bludd losing an eye to an explosion in one ep, then an arm to an alligator in another, only pausing long enough in both instances to make a BadassBoast. ''"Hope ya choke on it."''
* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'':
** When Billy fell off his bicycle on his way over to a lemonade stand, he scrapes his face along the pavement. When he slides up to the stand, he raises his head and reveals that his entire face has been scraped off and is now skeletal. He seemingly didn't notice. In the very next scene, his face is back to normal, with only a pair of bandages on his nose to show for it.
** Grim falling apart and not seeming to mind at all is a running gag.
* Ray, a character on the cartoon ''WesternAnimation/TheHead'' (shown on ''MTV's Oddities''), has a lawnmower blade lodged in his skull. He's been told that he'll die if it's removed, so he's stuck with the thing.
* In ''WesternAnimation/HollywoodStepsOut'', [[Creator/MarxBrothers Harpo Marx]] gives Creator/GretaGarbo a hotfoot. As her shoe is burning she stays silent before letting out a very dull "Ouch".
* During a supervillain trust-building exercise in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', Killer Frost is expected to use her ice powers to catch Giganta--falling from a cliff--who warns that she's heavier than she looks. We then hear a giant crash from offscreen, followed by Killer Frost saying "Ow."
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'', being a SadistShow that runs on FamilyUnfriendlyViolence, has a lot of these moments. For example, in one episode, Stumpy accidentally causes a bunch of arrows to shoot Kaeloo, Quack Quack, and Pretty. Rather than scream in pain, they just glare at him, annoyed.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard'': In the episode "The Trail to Udugu", while taking charge of the Lion Guard for the day, Simba gets his tail crushed by a large boulder. Cats' tails are usually sensitive, but Simba casually treats it with mild annoyance, saying that he's fine other than his tail being crushed.
* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' codifies many stock treatments of AmusingInjuries in cartoons, including underreactions. In "WesternAnimation/RabbitFire", for example, Daffy gets repeatedly shot in the face and only responds with a disgusted "you're despicable."
* A subplot on one episode of ''WesternAnimation/MissionHill'' had Wally attempting to persuade his boyfriend to go to the hospital after getting a knife stuck in the top of his head. Gus continues to act like everything is perfectly normal, the only concession to his injury being a giant hat so he stops frightening customers.
* In ''WesternAnimation/MODOK2021'', the main character prepares to kill an AIM agent who convinces him not to by saying that M.O.D.O.K. needs him to do his taxes. He discharges the blast at another agent whose arm is blown off, but the agent is indifferent toward it and assumes that it was done because he was getting coffee without seeing if the pot was for everyone.
* In ''WesternAnimation/NotWithoutMyHandbag'', Auntie considers being dead (and buried for six months) to be a minor inconvenience at worst, [[SkewedPriorities unlike leaving her handbag behind]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': In "A Lying Witch and a Warden", Eda barely acknowledges her hand coming off as a nuisance. The same goes for [[LosingYourHead getting decapitated]].
* In the ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' episode "Death Bear", after Animal Control is brought in to take on the eponymous creature, all of whom are no match for the bear, the third member gets his arms ripped off.
-->'''Animal Control Officer #3:''' I wanna go home.
* Misery from ''WesternAnimation/RubyGloom'' often says "Ow." whenever she's randomly struck by lightning. A Friday the 13th episode revealed that she's so used to bad luck that it's quite comforting for her.
* In ''WesternAnimation/Sealab2021'', Sparks and Captain Murphy don't seem to mind their "mind-blowingly painful" tortures during their stay in Hell. For the record, the latter was in a lava bath, while the former allegedly had burning coals shoved up his ass.
-->'''Sparks:''' Right to the rim, baby.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** In the "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS16E1TreehouseOfHorrorXV Treehouse of Horror XV]]" short "[[FantasticVoyagePlot In the Belly of the Boss]]", the Simpsons drop a bomb from the ship into Mr. Burns' stomach and it goes off inside him, causing his stomach to swell momentarily. Burns' reaction was a flat "Well, that hurt like hell."
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS10E21MontyCantBuyMeLove Monty Can't Buy Me Love]]", Lenny gets a coin embedded in his forehead. After a moment's panic "Get it out! Get it out!" it only succeeds in starting to [[OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank spurt blood at an alarming rate]], leading to "Put it back in! Put it back in!". He then promptly shrugs off going to a hospital and continues about his business, leading to an even more hilarious moment where he tips his hat to a passing woman, by ''removing the coin''.
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E12TeamHomer Team Homer]]", [[TheChewToy Hans Moleman]] requests 17 dollars from Mr. Burns to fix his push broom. Mr. Burns, however, is high on ether and hallucinates him as the Lucky Charms leprechaun, and in order to get "his Lucky Charms", ''takes a power drill'' to his skull.
--->'''Moleman:''' Oh no, my brains.
** At the beginning of "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E1BartOfDarkness Bart of Darkness]]", Hans Moleman steps outside on a hot summer's day, and [[SolarPoweredMagnifyingGlass his coke-bottle glasses accidentally set his shirt on fire]]. His reaction? "Oh, rats..."
** During "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E9RealtyBites Realty Bites]]", Snake attempts to get his car Li'l Bandit back from Homer by setting up a line of piano wire to decapitate him. Homer ducks in time and the next car shown passing is Kirk Van Houten angrily complaining that his deli sandwich wasn't cut while waving his arm out. The wire takes his arm off from the elbow. Kirk's response is an "Ow" in a disappointed tone.
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E14BrotherFromTheSamePlanet Brother from the Same Planet]]", Homer falls backwards onto a fire hydrant and has his body bent. He casually states "This is even more painful than it looks."
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS3E16BartTheLover Bart the Lover]]", Homer does this after training himself out of swearing. Stepping on a nail (which goes ''through his foot''), he says "Fiddle-de-dee. That will require a tetanus shot."
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS10E6DohInTheWind D'oh-in in the Wind]]", when Homer, who is taking up a hippie lifestyle, leans his arm against a tree and decides to "feel the good vibrations". The view then pans back to reveal that the "good vibrations" he's feeling is his hand inside of an active bee's nest. His only reaction is drawn-out (yet relaxed-sounding) "Ouch."
** In the "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS10E4TreehouseOfHorrorIX Treehouse of Horror IX]]" story "Hell Toupée", Homer, possessed by Snake, murders Moe [[BeatStillMyHeart by ripping his heart out]] with a corkscrew. Moe can only say "Aw, for crying out loud..." before dying.
*** In the following story "[[TrappedInTVLand The Terror of Tiny Toon]]", when Lisa and Bart try to escape from Itchy and Scratchy, they get into a police car only to find the latter two in the front seat. While trying to dismember the kids with a chainsaw, Itchy accidentally cuts off Scratchy's arms. Scratchy isn't terribly bothered and just says "It happens" when Itchy apologizes, then drives the car with his mouth.
* In the first season of ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'', how does Dale react to being bitten by ''over a thousand fire ants simultaneously''? A brief shudder and a quiet "Youch", before passing out.
* When ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'''s Mr. Garrison gets his first sex change (from a man to a woman) in "[[Recap/SouthParkS9E1MrGarrisonsFancyNewVagina Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina]]", we see live-action footage of genital surgery. He doesn't even get anesthetized and his reaction to the pain is a flat "Ooh, that stings".
* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'':
** Squidward, after seeing that [=SpongeBob=] saved an exploding pie throughout the entire episode and being hit with the pie in the face, causing the entire city of Bikini Bottom to explode, just says "ouch."
** In the episode "Dunces and Dragons", [=SpongeBob=] goes to a blacksmith for armor and the blacksmith finishes his knight look with a sword, but it's too heavy for [=SpongeBob=] to lift so he ends up tossing it into the blacksmith's chest. He shrugs it off like it's nothing saying that it'll require a few stitches.
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse''. In the episode "Steven the Sword Fighter," Steven accidentally distracts Pearl during a swordfighting demonstration, causing her to get stabbed and [[NoBodyLeftBehind EXPLODE]], leaving only her [[HeartDrive gem]] behind. Steven is naturally ''very'' distraught, but the others quickly explain that she's OnlyMostlyDead and will revive as long as her gem is kept safe.
-->'''Pearl:''' ''(stabbed)'' Whoopsy daisy! Steven, it's okay! I'm gonna be just-- ''[she poofs, cutting off the sentence]''
* Done ''very'' creepily in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''. While fighting [[ArchEnemy Slade]], [[BadassNormal Robin]] kicks him in the head so hard it snaps his neck. Slade's response is to stand still for a moment, then snap his neck casually back into place and [[ImplacableMan keep coming]], much to Robin's shock and squick. This is foreshadowing that Slade is actually [[spoiler:undead]] at the time.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', Brock's first interaction with Colonel Gathers has him getting stabbed in the hand [[DisproportionateRetribution for saluting at him]]. He barely reacts to it, and while this would be a fairly tame example on its own, what makes it notable is that he actually reacts ''more'' to Gathers hitting him in the knee with a rod, which is a more minor injury in comparison.

** In "Escape from the Citadel", Finn [[spoiler:has his arm ''torn off at the elbow'']], but doesn't even mention it, being far more concerned with [[spoiler:his dad abandoning him again.]] Earlier in the same episode, [[spoiler:Finn's dad]] Martin has his right lower leg StrippedToTheBone and calmly asks Finn and Jake to treat the injury with healing blood of the citadel's guardian; the most he says about the wound is that it "really stings."
** In "Graybles 1000+", the Ice King [[OhNoNotAgain is more annoyed if anything]] upon waking up to see that his leg is broken.
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'', Tails tries to defuse a bomb with a sledgehammer, despite the protests of Sonic, who's standing nearby. Fortunately, Tails misses the bomb... only to [[AgonyOfTheFeet hit Sonic in the foot instead]]. Sonic doesn't even sound remotely in pain, but he is a bit snarky about it.
-->'''Sonic:''' I'm just glad you missed -- the bomb, that is! ''[lifts up his foot to reveal its injuries]''
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' characters do this often, occasionally as part of a MediumBlending gag.
** Richard nonchalantly mentions that he broke 5 ribs in "The Prank" when he pretended to be crazy and ran through several walls.
** In "The Picnic", Gumball and Darwin are completely calm about [[EyeScream their eyes being on fire]], even when Darwin says "there are no words to describe the pain I feel right now".
** In "The Bet", Bobert blows up the nurse's office with the nurse still in it, and the nurse just puts a bandage on her charred body (which is ''also'' [[AnimateInanimateObject a bandage]]) before passing out.
** Gumball casually states "now you have to take me to the infirmary" after a series of [[AbnormalLimbRotationRange bizarre rotations of portions of his body]] cause his heart to end up in his stomach and his lungs to end up in his arms.
** {{Double Subver|sion}}ted in "The Voice". Gumball accidentally knocks Sussie's eye out in an attempt to find something to apologize to her for. She screams "Aaah! Aaah! Aaah! But Sussie like this, too!"
** One of the cutouts in "The Extras" snaps himself in half trying to reach down to get popcorn. He's just happy he got the popcorn.
** The red construction worker in "The Butterfly" is just mildly annoyed that his head got knocked off, and the construction workers in general (all LEGO men) don't seem to care about losing limbs either, just putting themselves back together offscreen.
** Darwin throws a lady through a window in "The Safety". She doesn't mind.
** In "The Nobody", a pot falls off a shelf and is smashed on Gumball's head and he falls back on a chair when he tries to find a hidden room. He doesn't even flinch.
* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': Mostly happens with Stan, likely as a result of him being sturdier than average due to his CIA training, though sometimes other characters get in on it.
** In "Tears of a Clooney", Francine doesn't seem bothered when her hand gets full of glass after she punches a window.
** In "Stanny Boy and Frantastic", Stan gets a compound fracture in his leg after falling down a stairwell, leaving his bone visibly sticking out. He's fairly chill about it but mentions that he's about to go into shock.
** In "Toy Whorey", Roger drives out of his cliffside estate, only to plummet to the ground below because [[MyopicArchitecture there's nothing beyond the garage door]]. After [[EveryCarIsAPinto the car explodes]], he then calmly says that he'll take his bike instead.
** In "Holy Shit, Jeff's Back!", when Hayley goes through the Blorpher and it shreds her like a woodchipper on one end to rebuild her on the other, she pulls Roger through it along with her. Roger flatly states that it's a very, very deep pain.
** In "Next of Pin", when Stan admits that he stabbed Steve in his leg to end his bowling career, he stabs himself 10 times to show that it's not that painful. He doesn't flinch during any of them, but he quickly passes out.
** In "She Swill Survive", a CIA agent [[LifeOrLimbDecision whose leg gets stuck to the ground with maple syrup]] nonchalantly shoots said leg off and hops away.
** "The Bitchin' Race" has Stan getting stabbed in the chest by a yak's horn. He isn't terribly phased by it and even pushes it further into his chest and out his back.
** Similar to the first example, in "I Am the Jeans: The Gina Lavetti Story", Francine [[AGlassInTheHand explodes a wine glass in her hand in frustration]], then rubs the resulting blood in her hair.
** In "Exquisite Corpses", Roger isn't bothered by having a knife thrown into his stomach.
* ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'': In "Sirens", when Carl is [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext told to cut off his own nipples]], he agrees and doesn't express any pain because he's too drunk to feel it.
* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', Iroh can't decide whether a plant he found is a type of tea leaf, or poisonous.
-->'''Iroh:''' Zuko, remember that plant I thought might be tea?\\
'''Zuko:''' You didn't!\\
'''Iroh:''' I did. ''[turns around to show his face has become red and swollen]'' And it wasn't.\\
'''Zuko:''' ''[repulsed]'' Yah!\\
'''Iroh:''' When the rash spreads to my throat, I will stop breathing.
* [[TheChewToy Waspinator]] from ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' does this a lot. He seems to care less about the excruciating pain of being crushed, impaled, blown to bits, etc. than the [[OnceAnEpisode frequency with which it happens to him]] and the fact that nobody else seems to care when it does. That, and he's annoyed about having to [[PullingThemselvesTogether put himself back together]] all the time.
* In ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman'', Sarah Lynn stabs herself with a rusty bayonet in the middle of a hardware store, [[AttentionWhore mostly to call attention to herself and her breakup with Andrew Garfield]]. She doesn't have much of a reaction to the pain. Although [=BoJack=] drives her to a hospital, she apparently didn't get official help, as she shows up at [=BoJack=]'s house with ''duct tape'' where the ''rusty bayonet'' had gone through. She proceeds to proclaim herself "Good as new." [[note]]Duct tape ''can'', in fact, be used as an ''emergency'' first aid adhesive for bleeding wounds, but requires prompt, professional medical care and proper dressing as soon as possible after application.[[/note]]
* ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'':
** The titular canine's usual reaction to getting injured is to let out a weak, wheezy laugh.
** Katz's normal reaction to getting hit? A deadpan delivery of one of his CatchPhrase, "I wish you hadn't done that."
** In the episode "Courage the Fly", Eustace attempts to trap Courage (who is...well...[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a fly]]; long story) with fly paper, but ends up sticking it to Muriel's face instead. Upon removing it, he ''[[TearOffYourFace rips her face off]] with it'', leaving no more than a now-pissed-off skull for a face. Her reaction? To demand that Eustace put it back, lest he get "cold cuts for dinner". Eustace begrudgingly complies, but accidentally puts it back on upside-down. "Oh, you ''are'' cheeky." She says in what sounds like mild frustration before Eustace turns her face the right way.
* Occurs numerous times in ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'', most notably in the montage of Captain Hero's "adult childhood" where he falls off of his bike and scrapes his knee in a stereotypically childish manner. When he reveals the scrape, a large section of his leg is missing with his bone snapped but it is treated as a scrape anyway.
* Happens all the time in ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy''. For example, when Ed's [[MyLittlePanzer toy]] makes [[TorsoWithAView a hole in Eddy's belly]], he seems more upset about the toy eating his breakfast than the hole in his stomach.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'': During the beginning of ''WesternAnimation/AbraCatastrophe'' parodying ''Franchise/StarWars'' (Timmy being Skywalker, naturally), Timmy's hand gets lightsaber'd off like in the movie, but his response is different: "Hey, I've only got two of those!"
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
** A cutaway gag features Brian talking to a disfigured WWII veteran. Disfigured as in, ''he's only a head''.
--->'''Veteran:''' I'm glad I could do my part.\\
'''Brian:''' I think you might have done too much.
** Another cutaway shows what the family would be like if they were stereotypical high-class gentlemen. Halfway through the scene, Peter spontaneously combusts and calmly says "Oh dear." then describes it in an incredibly casual manner.
** Yet another one features Peter asking Chris to turn a firehose on so he can take a drink. Chris accidentally blasts the flesh off of Peter's entire head leaving nothing but a skull.
--->'''Peter:''' [[SkewedPriorities Nice job, Chris. You got my shirt wet.]]
** One CutawayGag has Peter accidentally turn up the pressure in a decompression chamber so high that [[EyeScream everyone's eyeballs burst out of their sockets]]. The other guys in the chamber are more annoyed than anything else ("Nice going, jackass!"), Peter gets defensive and doesn't acknowledge it at all, and then they all get into a [[WimpFight petulant slap-fight]].
** This show (and its writers) seems to love this trope. Some more injuries include Peter having his entire face scratched off by a monkey to [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Meg having her face burnt off]] by [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk the Ark of The Covenant]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/FriskyDingo'', Killface is somewhat concerned about the giant pipe impaling his left lung, but he insists that the doctor treat the shallow cut on his son's arm first.
** A later episode has a rocket pierce him through the chest. He's only mildly annoyed at the whole situation. Even the gaping hole it left after the explosion doesn't faze him much.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'':
** After Planet Express's boiler blows up, we see Fry (and Zoidberg) in a hospital, seeming rather nonchalant, then it pans down to show he's been [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impaled with a pipe]].
--->'''Zoidberg:''' Oh, the hypochondriac's back! So what is it this time?\\
'''Fry:''' Well, my lead pipe hurts a little.\\
'''Zoidberg:''' That's normal.
** Fry losing limbs, or being otherwise grievously injured, and not being fazed has become a running gag at this point.
** This is pretty typical for Zoidberg. Even ''his own autopsy'' struggles to hold his attention.
--->''[surgeon removes Zoid's heart]''\\
'''Zoidberg:''' Take, I've got four of them.\\
''[surgeon starts cutting something with a hacksaw]''\\
'''Zoidberg:''' Don't cut that! I need that to speak!\\
''[surgeon pauses, then resumes cutting -- faster]''
* ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeRenegades'' has Major Bludd losing an eye to an explosion in one ep, then an arm to an alligator in another, only pausing long enough in both instances to make a BadassBoast. ''"Hope ya choke on it."''
* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'':
** When Billy fell off his bicycle on his way over to a lemonade stand, he scrapes his face along the pavement. When he slides up to the stand, he raises his head and reveals that his entire face has been scraped off and is now skeletal. He seemingly didn't notice. In the very next scene, his face is back to normal, with only a pair of bandages on his nose to show for it.
** Grim falling apart and not seeming to mind at all is a running gag.
* Ray, a character on the cartoon ''WesternAnimation/TheHead'' (shown on ''MTV's Oddities''), has a lawnmower blade lodged in his skull. He's been told that he'll die if it's removed, so he's stuck with the thing.
* In ''WesternAnimation/HollywoodStepsOut'', [[Creator/MarxBrothers Harpo Marx]] gives Creator/GretaGarbo a hotfoot. As her shoe is burning she stays silent before letting out a very dull "Ouch".
* During a supervillain trust-building exercise in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', Killer Frost is expected to use her ice powers to catch Giganta--falling from a cliff--who warns that she's heavier than she looks. We then hear a giant crash from offscreen, followed by Killer Frost saying "Ow."
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'', being a SadistShow that runs on FamilyUnfriendlyViolence, has a lot of these moments. For example, in one episode, Stumpy accidentally causes a bunch of arrows to shoot Kaeloo, Quack Quack, and Pretty. Rather than scream in pain, they just glare at him, annoyed.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard'': In the episode "The Trail to Udugu", while taking charge of the Lion Guard for the day, Simba gets his tail crushed by a large boulder. Cats' tails are usually sensitive, but Simba casually treats it with mild annoyance, saying that he's fine other than his tail being crushed.
* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' codifies many stock treatments of AmusingInjuries in cartoons, including underreactions. In "WesternAnimation/RabbitFire", for example, Daffy gets repeatedly shot in the face and only responds with a disgusted "you're despicable."
* A subplot on one episode of ''WesternAnimation/MissionHill'' had Wally attempting to persuade his boyfriend to go to the hospital after getting a knife stuck in the top of his head. Gus continues to act like everything is perfectly normal, the only concession to his injury being a giant hat so he stops frightening customers.
* In ''WesternAnimation/MODOK2021'', the main character prepares to kill an AIM agent who convinces him not to by saying that M.O.D.O.K. needs him to do his taxes. He discharges the blast at another agent whose arm is blown off, but the agent is indifferent toward it and assumes that it was done because he was getting coffee without seeing if the pot was for everyone.
* In ''WesternAnimation/NotWithoutMyHandbag'', Auntie considers being dead (and buried for six months) to be a minor inconvenience at worst, [[SkewedPriorities unlike leaving her handbag behind]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': In "A Lying Witch and a Warden", Eda barely acknowledges her hand coming off as a nuisance. The same goes for [[LosingYourHead getting decapitated]].
* In the ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' episode "Death Bear", after Animal Control is brought in to take on the eponymous creature, all of whom are no match for the bear, the third member gets his arms ripped off.
-->'''Animal Control Officer #3:''' I wanna go home.
* Misery from ''WesternAnimation/RubyGloom'' often says "Ow." whenever she's randomly struck by lightning. A Friday the 13th episode revealed that she's so used to bad luck that it's quite comforting for her.
* In ''WesternAnimation/Sealab2021'', Sparks and Captain Murphy don't seem to mind their "mind-blowingly painful" tortures during their stay in Hell. For the record, the latter was in a lava bath, while the former allegedly had burning coals shoved up his ass.
-->'''Sparks:''' Right to the rim, baby.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** In the "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS16E1TreehouseOfHorrorXV Treehouse of Horror XV]]" short "[[FantasticVoyagePlot In the Belly of the Boss]]", the Simpsons drop a bomb from the ship into Mr. Burns' stomach and it goes off inside him, causing his stomach to swell momentarily. Burns' reaction was a flat "Well, that hurt like hell."
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS10E21MontyCantBuyMeLove Monty Can't Buy Me Love]]", Lenny gets a coin embedded in his forehead. After a moment's panic "Get it out! Get it out!" it only succeeds in starting to [[OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank spurt blood at an alarming rate]], leading to "Put it back in! Put it back in!". He then promptly shrugs off going to a hospital and continues about his business, leading to an even more hilarious moment where he tips his hat to a passing woman, by ''removing the coin''.
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E12TeamHomer Team Homer]]", [[TheChewToy Hans Moleman]] requests 17 dollars from Mr. Burns to fix his push broom. Mr. Burns, however, is high on ether and hallucinates him as the Lucky Charms leprechaun, and in order to get "his Lucky Charms", ''takes a power drill'' to his skull.
--->'''Moleman:''' Oh no, my brains.
** At the beginning of "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E1BartOfDarkness Bart of Darkness]]", Hans Moleman steps outside on a hot summer's day, and [[SolarPoweredMagnifyingGlass his coke-bottle glasses accidentally set his shirt on fire]]. His reaction? "Oh, rats..."
** During "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E9RealtyBites Realty Bites]]", Snake attempts to get his car Li'l Bandit back from Homer by setting up a line of piano wire to decapitate him. Homer ducks in time and the next car shown passing is Kirk Van Houten angrily complaining that his deli sandwich wasn't cut while waving his arm out. The wire takes his arm off from the elbow. Kirk's response is an "Ow" in a disappointed tone.
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E14BrotherFromTheSamePlanet Brother from the Same Planet]]", Homer falls backwards onto a fire hydrant and has his body bent. He casually states "This is even more painful than it looks."
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS3E16BartTheLover Bart the Lover]]", Homer does this after training himself out of swearing. Stepping on a nail (which goes ''through his foot''), he says "Fiddle-de-dee. That will require a tetanus shot."
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS10E6DohInTheWind D'oh-in in the Wind]]", when Homer, who is taking up a hippie lifestyle, leans his arm against a tree and decides to "feel the good vibrations". The view then pans back to reveal that the "good vibrations" he's feeling is his hand inside of an active bee's nest. His only reaction is drawn-out (yet relaxed-sounding) "Ouch."
** In the "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS10E4TreehouseOfHorrorIX Treehouse of Horror IX]]" story "Hell Toupée", Homer, possessed by Snake, murders Moe [[BeatStillMyHeart by ripping his heart out]] with a corkscrew. Moe can only say "Aw, for crying out loud..." before dying.
*** In the following story "[[TrappedInTVLand The Terror of Tiny Toon]]", when Lisa and Bart try to escape from Itchy and Scratchy, they get into a police car only to find the latter two in the front seat. While trying to dismember the kids with a chainsaw, Itchy accidentally cuts off Scratchy's arms. Scratchy isn't terribly bothered and just says "It happens" when Itchy apologizes, then drives the car with his mouth.
* In the first season of ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'', how does Dale react to being bitten by ''over a thousand fire ants simultaneously''? A brief shudder and a quiet "Youch", before passing out.
* When ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'''s Mr. Garrison gets his first sex change (from a man to a woman) in "[[Recap/SouthParkS9E1MrGarrisonsFancyNewVagina Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina]]", we see live-action footage of genital surgery. He doesn't even get anesthetized and his reaction to the pain is a flat "Ooh, that stings".
* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'':
** Squidward, after seeing that [=SpongeBob=] saved an exploding pie throughout the entire episode and being hit with the pie in the face, causing the entire city of Bikini Bottom to explode, just says "ouch."
** In the episode "Dunces and Dragons", [=SpongeBob=] goes to a blacksmith for armor and the blacksmith finishes his knight look with a sword, but it's too heavy for [=SpongeBob=] to lift so he ends up tossing it into the blacksmith's chest. He shrugs it off like it's nothing saying that it'll require a few stitches.
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse''. In the episode "Steven the Sword Fighter," Steven accidentally distracts Pearl during a swordfighting demonstration, causing her to get stabbed and [[NoBodyLeftBehind EXPLODE]], leaving only her [[HeartDrive gem]] behind. Steven is naturally ''very'' distraught, but the others quickly explain that she's OnlyMostlyDead and will revive as long as her gem is kept safe.
-->'''Pearl:''' ''(stabbed)'' Whoopsy daisy! Steven, it's okay! I'm gonna be just-- ''[she poofs, cutting off the sentence]''
* Done ''very'' creepily in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''. While fighting [[ArchEnemy Slade]], [[BadassNormal Robin]] kicks him in the head so hard it snaps his neck. Slade's response is to stand still for a moment, then snap his neck casually back into place and [[ImplacableMan keep coming]], much to Robin's shock and squick. This is foreshadowing that Slade is actually [[spoiler:undead]] at the time.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', Brock's first interaction with Colonel Gathers has him getting stabbed in the hand [[DisproportionateRetribution for saluting at him]]. He barely reacts to it, and while this would be a fairly tame example on its own, what makes it notable is that he actually reacts ''more'' to Gathers hitting him in the knee with a rod, which is a more minor injury in comparison.
