History TheChewToy / Film

* C-3PO from ''Franchise/StarWars'': "It seems we are made to suffer."
* Gedevan (the Fiddler) in Soviet cult classic ''[[Film/KinDzaDza Kin-dza-dza!]]'', to the extent that "Nobody needs the Fiddler!" becomes sort of a catch phrase. All this despite [[CrapsackWorld (or maybe because of)]] his being one of the only decent people in the whole movie.
* Red from ''Film/PineappleExpress''. He takes a number of seemingly mortal wounds and appears to die at least three times, only to wake up or reappear a little later, even more grievously injured than before.
* Ash from the ''Franchise/EvilDead'' series. In spite of his action hero transformation in the [[Film/ArmyOfDarkness third film]], he spends most of the series screaming and getting pummeled by deadites.

* [[Creator/{{LaurelAndHardy}} Oliver Hardy]] was at the receiving end of most AmusingInjuries in his and Stan Laurel's films.

* Much of the humour in ''Film/TheDouble'' is derived from the main character Simon's [[BornUnlucky horrible luck]] (though he can be TheWoobie as well). Between other characters either forgetting about him or being excessively rude to him and the fact that machines tend to malfunction more when he's around, it can be hard not to laugh at all the misfortune he suffers.
* ''Film/TheWaterboy'': [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname "Colonel Sanders"]], one of Bobby Boucher's college professors, gets hurt from various things throughout the movie, most notably being tackled when he [[MamasBoy mocks Bobby's mother]].
* Ugo Fantozzi from the Italian ''Film/{{Fantozzi}}'' movies. How bad he is? Well, the Italian counterpart to this page is called "Il Fantozzi", and the trope image is the poster of one of the movies, ''Fantozzi Subisce Ancora'' (lit. "Fantozzi suffers again"), with Fantozzi ''hung to a cross''. Not enough? Well, in the fifth movie we're shown Fantozzi's past lives, and the one in Palestine during Jesus' time saw Jesus accidentally destroy the small garden that provided his livehood (he said to let the children go to him. The children were on the opposite side of the garden), when his rich uncle Lazarus died Fantozzi set on fire his home and reached the funeral only for Jesus to do revive him, and he's later ''crucified along Jesus and the two thieves '''by mistake''''' (he had to deliver a cross, and a Roman soldier saw him).
* Jock from ''Film/{{Mortdecai}}'', who gets shot ''twice '''by Charlie himself,''''', attacked by a dog, gets badly frozen by stowing away on a plane and nearly gets his finger chopped off by Fang's {{Mook}}s. All of it is played for laughs.

* In the Italian comedy ''Film/LeComiche2'' the main recurring [[ChewToy victim]] is a male individual that is run over by the two main characters with an ambulance. Then they take him to hospital but the journey is disastrous for him including endless physical damage ([[GroinAttack kicking him in the genitalia]], [[TapOnTheHead blows to the head]], catapulting him into a shop, being bitten/chase by a pack of dogs, run over by the ambulance… again, being stripped to underwear, stabbed by multiple syringes…). Finally, they cause him to undergo an undesired breast augmentation. Later, this guy is a passenger on a plane managed by the same two troublemakers. He is accidentally [[ComedicUnderwearExposure stripped to his underwear]], revealing he is wearing a bra supporting his newly acquired breasts. He is then pushed from the plane, falling and ending up in an hospital where is given a sexual reassignment surgery. Finally, completely turned into a woman, she is a odalisque in a harem, seemingly accepting her new role and gender ({{Second Law of Gender Bending}}).

* Gedevan (the Fiddler) in Soviet cult classic ''[[Film/KinDzaDza Kin-dza-dza!]]'', to the extent that "Nobody needs the Fiddler!" becomes sort of a catch phrase. All this despite, [[CrapsackWorld (or maybe because of)]], his being one of the only decent people in the whole movie.

* ''Film/TheWaterboy'': [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname "Colonel Sanders"]], one of Bobby Boucher's college professors, gets hurt from various things throughout the movie, most notably being tackled when he unintentionally pushes Bobby's BerserkButton.

* Ugo Fantozzi from the Italian ''Fantozzi'' movies. How bad he is?

* Ricky, the UnluckyChildhoodFriend from ''Film/NotAnotherTeenMovie''. The guy has no problems with CannotSpitItOut, writing numerous poems about how much he loves Janey, [[ObliviousToLove none of which she picks up on]]. When having the RaceForYourLove against former JerkJock, Jake, at the climax, Ricky mentions how it'd be fitting for him to become the VictoriousChildhoodFriend... until Jake counters that being a ReformedRebel is a better pairing.

* Beer Guy from ''Feast'' (2005). He gets [[spoiler:digestive juice vomited on him]] -- something that, by itself, would have eventually killed him. Later on, though, he also [[spoiler:gruesomely gets his eyeball pulled out of its socket and suffers massive blood loss as a result]], which is another thing that could have easily killed him all by itself. Despite both of these, it is [[spoiler:getting his head bitten off that finally kills him.]]

* Red from ''PineappleExpress''. He takes a number of seemingly mortal wounds and appears to die at least three times, only to wake up or reappear a little later, even more grievously injured than before.

* While the leads of ''TheHangover'' already go through much, Phil is the one that suffers the most in both: in the first, he's hospitalized, tased, clawed by the tiger, cracked across the face with a crowbar, is sitting on the side of the car which gets t-boned, and apparently went in altercation involving Wayne Newton. In the sequel, he goes as far as getting shot in the arm (where Phil points that while OnlyAFleshWound, a few inches to the left and he could die!).

* Harry and Marv from the ''HomeAlone'' series, especially considering all the pratfalls that Kevin subjects them to in the films' extensive climaxes.

* ''Film/TheWaterboy'': [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname "Colonel Sanders"]], one of Bobby Boucher's college professors, gets hurt from various things throughout the movie, most notably being tackled over a disagreement in class.

* Ash from the ''Franchise/EvilDead'' series. In spite of his action hero transformation in the third film, he spends most of the series screaming and getting pummeled by deadites.
