Thank you! Hadn't considered the other one as being suitable.

Could also be a variant on Good Hurts Evil.
I didn't write any of that.
Do we have this one?
In a Walking the Earth series, the Arc Villain for season 3 is killed by comedy (i.e. laughing about him, telling off-color jokes about him etc.) because he's that dark that comedy and anything sunny kills him. He's more than a Generic Doomsday Villain, and he has to get rid of anything humorous.
Apparently, in the villain's backstory, comedy became such a Berserk Button that the Big Bsd decided to try and get rid of it completely (due to some Noodle Incident involving comedy).
Is there a trope for this sort of villain who cannot tolerate comedy and actually gets killed by comedy, or is this TLP-worthy?
I looked at Comedy Tropes but aren't sure if there's one to fit this scenario.
