Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A character is subject to gunfire or sharp spikes, suffering no apparent injuries. But should he drink something or fall into water, the liquid will immediately pour out by small holes in his skin. Hilarity Ensues. A classic gag chiefly featured in animation. It has all the implications of terrible injuries, without all that massive bleeding and annoying death getting in the way of the humor. When it turns up in live action, it's usually in a slapstick comedy, bonus points if it involves the undead or immortal "victim". |

Happened several times to Tom in various Tom and Jerry shorts, with Tom being punctured by gunfire, garden implements, and a baby woodpecker. | |

In the Looney Tunes short "Mexican Joyride", Daffy Duck goes South of the Border and has a bowl of chili, scoffing at how Mexican food is not so spicy. Immediately afterward, he has an inferno in his mouth, and he shouts, "It's burning holes in me!" A local sitting next to Daffy says that he has eaten the stuff for years without any harm. The man takes a drink, he gets up to leave, and sure enough, water squirts from his body on the way out. Also, in "Feather Dusted", after Foghorn Leghorn gets sunk by toy ships, the holes get revealed when he stands up. |

Done in the first Simon the Sorcerer game, when Simon is forced to hide from some goblins inside an iron maiden. Once its safe for him to come out, he complains about being thirsty and drinks a glass of water which pours out of his torso. | |

Frank Cross' old boss, Lew Hayward, gets this in Scrooged after Frank freaks out at the sight of his zombified corpse walking into the office and unloads a revolver into him. Which doesn't bother him other than the Bacardi leaking out. | |

Done in live action in an episode of Married... with Children. Al was rammed by a shopping cart (yes, a shopping cart) with spikes on the front during a shopping contest. At the end of the episode he is sitting relaxing, and when he takes a drink he sprouts several leaks. | |

In One Piece, Luffy mostly seems fine after having been impaled by Crocodile a few hours earlier (only wearing some bandages). When he resorts to drinking a lot of water to take advantage of Crocodile's weakness, however, he promptly springs a leak. | |

A promotional video for Fallout 4, What Makes You S.P.E.C.I.A.L.? - Perception, has this happen to a raider Pip Boy shoots with a sub-machine gun. The raider laughs off his apparent lack of injuries, only for the bottle of Nuka-Cola he starts drinking to pour out of the holes in his body. | |

This trope is referenced in one Archie Comics story, where Mr. Lodge goes to a barber for a shave (just roll with it). The barber ends up cutting Lodge's neck several times, and when it's over, Mr. Lodge demands a drink to see whether his neck leaks. | |

Another live-action instance occurs in the film Carry On Henry when Sir Roger de Lodgerley who has been tortured in the iron maiden is offered a drink to steady his nerves, only for water to spray out of his chest. And in Follow That Camel when Commandant Burger is shot by the Arabs. |

It also happens in a Droopy cartoon in which Droopy, as a sheepherder, catches a wolf trying to make off with his flock of sheep and repeatedly shoots his gun at the wolf. The bullets all rush past the wolf, who calmly takes a drink of water and says, in a thick Southern accent, "Y'all missed me, sheepherder," and walks off, as the water flows out of holes made by the gun. | |
