Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })So, you've got a funny character in a Slapstick, just lining up a wave of truly incredibly bad and unlucky physical traumas for the character to wade through for your audience's twisted amusement. Just one problem. The things your character is about to go through would kill any normal being. Enter the Iron Butt-Monkey, who can render lethal trauma into mere Amusing Injuries... at least when it's funny. A type of Acceptable Breaks from Reality, the Iron Butt Monkey is, simply put, practically immune to harm... purely for the purpose of having hilarious injuries happen to him. Drop an anvil on him? He simply gets a nasty looking lump or is Squashed Flat only to reform once the weight is removed. Throw him off a cliff and watch him bounce down in a brutal manner? He'll be fine by the next scene. Incinerate him? He'll reform from the ashes or even simply be back next episode. One wonders how many lives this guy could save in the military. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Primarily an animation trope, Western Animation is particularly fond of this one. A relation of Butt-Monkey, Made of Iron, and Slapstick. Where this is used on characters who in-canon have explicit super-healing, see Good Thing You Can Heal and Immortality Hurts. Unrelated to the Iron Woobie, although they can overlap at times. Not to be confused with Iron Monkey, a Hong Kong action film set within the mythology of Once Upon a Time in China. |

This is basically Riku's entire purpose on Ansem Retort, as he can inexplicably take fatal injuries without missing a beat in his nonstop whining. Zexion and Axel actively exploit this for as much schadenfreude as possible, being trapped in a reality show specifically for their capacity for cruelty. It's eventually revealed that Riku is a Time Lord with a birth defect: he can regenerate indefinitely, but never changes his appearance. | |

This was a plot point of all things in The Penguins of Madagascar. Mort, our resident Buttmonkey, is so dumb that he can take lethal blows without serious damage. The penguins decide to suction out their own brains so that they, too, can have this "Halo of Ignorance". It works until they are too stupid to carry out their mission. | |

Comic relief jerkass Earl of Lemongrab of Adventure Time. Thanks to his super-hard lemon candy skin, he has supercandyperson strength. He falls head-first out of the window of a castle and smashes his head into the ground hard enough to leave a big indentation in the earth, but he was fine. (Pissed-off, though.) Then, he fell from a tree and had a pretty nasty fall right on his back. Again, he was fine — just angry. | |

Count the number of times Alec Trevelyan from GoldenEye lives through something that should kill him. Before the opening credits, he's already been supposedly shot in the head (which was likely staged) and caught in an explosion. The last one at least left him scarred on half his face. He later survives a great fall (albeit badly-likely mortally-injured), and only dies because a satellite system drops on him. | |

Keigo Asano from Bleach is beaten and walked all over in pretty much every one of his appearances, but he never seems to get tired of it, keeps trying to get the girls that smack him around, and at one point actually blocked a kick from Rangiku, Shinigami who tend to be at least slightly stronger than normal humans. | |

Tom of Tom and Jerry. Like Wile E. Coyote, he seems to be genuinely impervious to damage, with the exception of a few episodes where he does actually die. And even then, it never sticks. Deconstructed and spoofed in this VG Cats comic, where Jerry's actions in the "Lost Episode" of Tom and Jerry do have lasting repercussions. |

This was forever happening to Zelgadis on Slayers. He's been used as an anchor and shot in the face with a cannonball and come out of it fine every time due to his part-golem nature. He does bleed and gets injuries, from time to time. What does it mean? The story's gonna take a turn for the worse. |

Sid on CSI: NY went into anaphylactic shock from an allergic reaction to something he ate, got radiation poisoning from a victim he was performing an autopsy on, has to autopsy an ex-colleague's wife and in the same episode, finds out that said ex-colleague stole organs from victims who were junkies when working at the ME's office and used them to make drugs, got almost blinded by an exploding bullet when trying to remove it from a victim's head, and in the final season not too long after becoming a millionaire, gets diagnosed with cancer. And he still carries on working at the ME's office. | |

Tails in the 2D Sonic the Hedgehog games. When you play the Sonic/Tails co-op, whether AI controlled or by a 2nd player, Tails is completely immortal and cannot die (well he can die, he just comes back right away). This of course leads to a huge potential for abuse... | |

Excel in Excel Saga, but also Hyatt and Elgala in the manga, as well as Ropponmatsu and Iwata on the opposite side. Of these Ropponmatsu and Iwata are justified by their artificial bodies, and Hyatt by her explicit Healing Factor, but Excel and Elgala just seem to be that tough; once both got stuck in a massive explosion in the top floor of a building that collapsed on them, and they got out "just" practically covered in bandages. There was also an incident where Hyatt received severe burns in a fire, but was shown peeling off her bandages to reveal her usual unburnt self the following day. Much to Elgala's shock. Matsuya has started to notice though that the technology the Department of City Security uses (which may come from a lost civlization) simply does not work on Excel. |

The Simpsons: Homer Simpson is the king of this trope. He goes through everything from falling off a cliff (twice), to slamming into a tree in his car, suffering from skiing incidents, waterfall plunges, animal maulings, getting shot by a nailgun, amateur brain-surgery, amateur heart surgery, and getting hammered by a champion boxer!!! Not to mention getting shot by a cannon daily for a living as one of his many, many jobs. One has to wonder if he is truly immortal... He did die once briefly of a heart attack but he went back into his body when he heard his family was getting a ham, which is then cancelled when Homer resurrects. One of the later episodes had Homer being forced to perform in a circus act in which he's bitten by several cobras (some of which aren't even real snakes, but robots with venomous needles fitted into their mouths) and then has his throat ripped open by a mongoose sent in to kill the cobras. Not only is all this Played for Laughs, but the entire act is shown to be more humiliating than life-threatening for Homer. Sideshow Bob counts in Cape Feare when he manages to be unhindered by a parade trampling him. Said parade also had about six or so ELEPHANTS that trampled him. Before that he had survived hitting his head against the speeding road, scalding hot coffee ("Ugh! This coffee is too hot!" *Pours it down the side and we hear scalding noises* GAHHHH!!), a drive through a cactus patch, and rakes. Lots and Lots of rakes. Scratchy of Itchy and Scratchy is this as well. Every episode he appears in, he dies in a variety of amusing ways, barring the one episode where he gets Itchy. |

Looney Tunes: Wile E. Coyote is practically the Patron Saint of this trope. He's been crushed, blown up, fallen hundreds of feet, been knocked all the way through earth and back, and that's just the tip of a long list of abuses. He not only survives, but is right back at the same thing again. In fact, in the sort of spin-off series Loonatics Unleashed, being an Iron Butt Monkey is Tech. E. Coyote's superpower. Daffy Duck's been shot enough times, his face (or at least his beak) should no longer be recognized. Sylvester's gone through many of the abuses that Tom has suffered over the years, being beaten, smashed, electrified, and so much else. Still other villains like Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Marvin the Martian and the Tasmanian Devil have also survived incredible injuries. Likewise Plucky Duck, Daffy's counterpart in Tiny Toons. Glorious, hysterical case in point. Lampshaded in a Cartoon Network commercial that asked a bunch of questions people wondered about cartoons. They ask "How come you guys never get hurt?" and Sylvester, Daffy, and Elmer answer, respectfully, "A good diet." "Exercise." "Flexibility, really." |

Dave the Barbarian has Dave. While everyone takes a bit of punishment, Dave is the most often in line to be beaten up, set on fire, blasted with magic or pummelled with heavy objects, but given that he is the size of a house and recovers almost instantly, it never seems to have any effect other than aggravating his usual cowardice. | |

Tales Series During the course of Tales of the Abyss, Dist survives near-drowning, almost freezing to death, falling from an extremely tall tower while also being caught in an explosion (!), and a blast to the face from the most powerful magic user in the game, and is also hinted to have suffered years of abuse at Jade's hands in his childhood. Yet he never seems the worse for the wear; not only does he not die (and in fact is the only one of the Six God Generals still alive at the end), he has no scars and we never even see him injured. No wonder Jade says he's as tenacious as a cockroach. Ivar from Tales of Xillia and Tales of Xillia 2, among other things, gets trampled by an oversized boar, accidentally lodges his own sword in his forehead, and faceplants into the ground from dozens of feet in the air, but barely is fazed by any of it. He also gets beaten up by the party on multiple occasions, but always seems more annoyed then anything else in the aftermath. |

Linkara from Atop the Fourth Wall makes a living reviewing bad comic books where he's semi-routinely attacked by Mad Scientists, a vicious robotic doppelganger, macabre monsters and spirits and a planet-conquering Well-Intentioned Extremist in his own home. Previously, this happened in his own apartment, but his landlord got tired of the constant invasions and battles then raised his rent. Outside of his own show, fellow That Guy with the Glasses contributors have tied him up, kidnapped him, tricked him, blamed him for things he didn't do and yes attacked him. | |

Souta Takanashi of Wagnaria!!, who regularly takes punches from a co-worker who can put holes in walls and damage utility poles with little more damage than a bloody nose and bruises that last no more than a few hours. Actively analyzed multiple times — two fellow co-workers want to keep him around (to keep the aforementioned co-worker from attacking them instead), plus it's shown how Souta got to be so resilient (regular training from one of his older sisters, a professional self-defense instructor). | |

This is how the Mummy's powers work in Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. He's dead, so being set on fire/electrocuted/smashed flat/cut into three different copies doesn't affect him at all. Granted, he's still not a fan of it... | |

Perhaps the most notorious example is former United States Women's Champion Mae Young, especially at the start of her WWE career in the late 1990s. Already well into her seventies by that point, Mae's initial gimmick was that she was an Iron Buttmonkey senior citizen who constantly took "bumps" on behalf of her best friend, The Fabulous Moolah. (She once even was smashed through a conference table by The Dudley Boys!) As if that weren't demeaning enough, Mae was also made into an Abhorrent Admirer / Christmas Cake stereotype who (among other exploits) almost gave birth to Mark Henry's baby, French-kissed Vince McMahon, and was revealed as the object of Jerry Springer's (reluctant) lust on an unforgettable episode of Monday Night Raw. The sad thing, really, is that Mae was actually an accomplished wrestler back in the day (starting her career during World War II when many male wrestlers went off to Europe or Japan, besides, the WWE Mae Young Classic wasn't named after her for nothing), but that younger viewers watching WWE programming are likely to think she's just some repellent old lady that's kept around backstage purely for comedy purposes. | |

Takara from Rising × Rydeen constantly gets electrocuted by Mikan for doing something perverted, usually by accident. Mikan's lightning blasts leave most people unconscious and smoldering but thanks to Takara's powers, one of which makes his body highly insulative, he gets by with a few bruises. | |

Time Squad: All three main characters; Larry has been electrocuted, smashed by a washing machine, been shot at, several times his body has been reduced to just a head, and has had his computer system scrambled by magnets. Otto gets frequently beat up by people from history, chased by a grizzly bear, viciously attacked by an evil My Little Pony (seriously), suffers from Tuddrussel's stunts, was crushed by a bookcase (off-screen), left in a hurricane, and was practically the resident buttmonkey at the orphanage. Tuddrussel takes a good amount for himself when it comes to getting beaten up by people, like Joan of Arc for example, has been slammed into the ground after destroying a giant fly monster, attacked by a lion, took on lava from the top of a volcano and really takes an equal amount as his comrades. | |

Grif from Red vs. Blue. Seriously, this guy once took a punch to the groin hard enough to dent the metal floor beneath him. The fact that he was able to walk straight is nothing short of extraodinary. Oh, but not just punched. Hammered by a shotgun used as melee weapon, a gas tank, and a concrete roadblock (which partly cracked upon impact around the area), all to the groin. Tex is a VERY mean girl. "Why won't you just kill me...?" And this is all in one episode. This isn't getting into all the times he's taken shotguns to the back, fallen several feet, and taken a shot from a tank. The entire Blood Gulch crew qualifies for this, actually — even Washington. Everyone there is a Butt-Monkey to somebody, has survived horrible injuries, and/or been victim to No One Should Survive That at least once, Grif's just the one who survives the funniest ones. |

Rogue One: Orson Callan Krennic. He gets shot in the shoulder in his very first scene. After the Time Skip, he has apparently completely recovered from this, but then gets bombed and knocked unconscious (in the novelisation the bombing also leads to him coughing up black stuff from smoke inhalation, and in the same scene of the book he punches the screen of his datapad in anger, cutting his hand as a result) In the rest of the film, he gets Force-Choked and shot in the other shoulder, along with a lot of humiliation by Tarkin and Darth Vader. He is eventually killed by a direct hit from the Death Star, which would have completely vaporised him. And all this (except the first scene) takes place over the course of a few days. Any normal person would be dead, unconscious, or at the very least curled up on the floor begging for mercy. Yet Krennic somehow manages to remain smug. |

Total Drama seems to love this trope, as many characters have held this title over the years, including Tyler, Harold, Brick, and Max. Tyler specifically receives a ton of injuries whenever he competes. His first action on the show is to fall off some waterskis, hit the dock, fly through the air and crash into a pile of luggage. From there, he has hit a buoy jumping off a cliff, had a kayak thrown on him, fallen into piranha-infested waters, and stepped on a working landmine. And yet he still makes it out ready for more. Harold gets it even worse. The guy has the record for most injuries out of any character in the show, and holds the record for most hits in the groin. He is *somehow* still able to compete even with the amount of daily abuse he gets. |

Who Framed Roger Rabbit lampshades this. Roger Rabbit is the Iron Buttmonkey both as character and actor in the Roger Rabbit/Baby Herman cartoons. After repeatedly "blowing his lines," Roger begs the director to drop the refrigerator on him one more time, saying he can take it. The director says he's more concerned about the refrigerator. It's actually a plot point that Toons are indestructible/unkillable....almost. When Eddie visits Toon Town, he becomes the Iron Buttmonkey, surviving abuse pretty much like a Toon. |

Nodwick: The titular character is been beaten, decapitated (Ten times on the same page in one issue), burned, frozen, digested, crushed, skewered, turned into a goldfish, disintegrated... If it's painful and/or lethal, it's probably happened to him, and every time he's always duct-taped back together by the team's cleric, Piffany. Plus, it's explicitly stated that (to the irritation of his guardian angel, who has no idea what to do with him) he's actually not allowed to stay dead, due to the rules of the Henchmen's Union (and the fact that his absence would completely screw up the universe). Henchmen in general in Nodwick. They get tied to catapult payloads as messengers to make sure the message arrived, and get to drag the giant stone back with them afterward. Their health plan comes in monthly flavors including "hemlock." Or the Hench Games, which... let's put it this way, people with heart conditions are advised to avoid the javelin toss because the henchmen compete to see how many they can catch. Nodwick just gets it the worst, which is really saying something. |

James Bond Jaws from The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker goes through many things that would normally kill a person: he survived falling from a cliff while trapped inside a car, attacked by a shark (which he got out of by biting the shark), stabbed and thrown from a building, etc. Each time he experiences one of these he just gets up and dusts himself off. Count the number of times Alec Trevelyan from GoldenEye lives through something that should kill him. Before the opening credits, he's already been supposedly shot in the head (which was likely staged) and caught in an explosion. The last one at least left him scarred on half his face. He later survives a great fall (albeit badly-likely mortally-injured), and only dies because a satellite system drops on him. |

American Dad! has Steve who is always getting attacked by animals, bullies or suffering other injuries. He often injures himself horribly but always comes back in the next episode as if nothing has happened. Interestingly, he very rarely breaks his glasses, unlike what would probably happen in real life. The entire family isn't exactly exempt. Stan, Francine, Hayley, Klaus, and yes, even Roger have all been shown to get horribly injured on a regular basis, some are even worse than Steve's mentioned above (Francine for instance, has been shown to suffer brain injury) and all would show up next episode relatively not phased at all. |

Kimihito Kurusu of Monster Musume is a regular guy, stuck in the same house as a very strong Lamia, a Centaur, a dippy Harpy, an enthusiastic Slime, an... eccentric... Mermaid, and a jaded Arachne. He takes a hell of a lot of abuse, but he's always up a few pages later. Noteably, Kimihito is confirmed to actually die on a regular basis. He just keeps coming back through sheer willpower. Also, people actually notice and comment on the injuries he takes — at one point he went to a hospital and the doctors were outright alarmed that the injuries that sent him there had spontaneously disappeared when by all rights he should have needed weeks to heal from them. | |

A Henchman class for Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition was published in the aforementioned Nodwick comic, based on playing one of these. They had no useful offensive options, so all class abilities were based on improving their carrying capacity, or more importantly make them take hits for others and even take advantage of death (such as spying around as a ghost until resurrected, plus being easier to resurrect). They got a d12 for hit points (matched only by the Barbarian class) to put the "Iron" in the Buttmonkey. | |

H.E.L.P.eR. of The Venture Bros.. This household staff robot has been dismantled by rogue Monarch henchmen, had his legs ground off by acting as surrogate landing gear, been beaten to death and ejected to space by the Venture brothers, been burned up on re-entry, had his nipples electrocuted, and been detonated and lodged in the chest of Brock Samson. Upon reflection, H.E.L.P.eR. can be seen as something of a deconstruction (no pun intended) of the Iron Woobie automaton. One of the reasons he sees so much action these days is because Dr. Venture has watched him take punishment for thirty-odd years and has become desensitized to it. (There's a moment when arch-enemy The Monarch demands Venture's cooperation because he has H.E.L.P.eR as a hostage, and Venture reacts as though The Monarch is insane.) The rest of the family treat H.E.L.P.eR much more like a person. Brock Samson is probably his healthiest friend (and maybe vice-versa?). | |

This trope was used occasionally in Avatar: The Last Airbender when earthbending gets involved, then subverted in one of the few deaths in the series. Sokka is the king of this in the chibi shorts, particularly "Bending Battle." He gets used as a human pinball. Prince Zuko is right behind Sokka. Despite being beaten and slammed into something almost every time he goes up against the Gaang, he always gets back up again, chasing Aang from one end of the world to the other. |

Archer: Deconstructed: Every single stray bullet that gets fired in or around ISIS headquarters hits Brett. However he's shown to have serious injuries in later episodes, bad enough to qualify for a disabled parking space. Outright subverted in the fifth season, where he finally takes one in the head and immediately dies. Played straight with Archer himself. Unusually, he later deconstructs this, pointing out that logically, all of this would be likely to leave marks on his body that would get worse with age, and he claims that he hopes he has dementia before the effects really happen. Downplayed but otherwise played strait for Pam and Cheryl who are regularly subjected to low-grade physical abuse that never seems to really bother them. Mostly because Pam is legitimately tough enough to endure it while Cheryl is a raging masochist. |

Pinky and the Brain regularly get smashed, beaten, exploded, so forth, as Brain's schemes fail (a memorable one being the time they are blasted from the top of the Space Needle, all from Pinky's perspective). Of course, Pinky doesn't really mind when Brain bops him on the head, so perhaps he's okay with it. Brain, however, gets the worst of it. Naturally, they're still standing (if bruised) at the end of every episode, ready to do "the same thing we do every night". | |

Steven Universe: Amethyst gets way more physical abuse than any other character. Nine times out of ten she'll walk it off no problem. Peridot suffers Wile E. Coyote-level trauma in "The Kindergarten Kid". Though it pales in comparison, Ronaldo has brushed off a number of comical injuries, which is especially notable given he's completely human. He once got in a fight with the Crystal Gems that realistically would have broken his hand and jaw, as well as possible his skull, neck, or back, then recovers instantly. Keep Beach City Weird mentions a refrigerator falling on top of him, whereupon his only concern was being stuck under it. |

Phineas and Ferb: Doofenshmirtz. Every day, Perry ends up foiling his plans in some way, leading to the destruction of one of his many -Inators in a massive explosion or something that will bring some harmful treatment to Doofenshmirtz. In spite of this, he rarely ever seems hurt or displays any kind of bodily damage. So far he's survived fiery explosions, being hit by a giant ball of aluminum, the eruption of a volcano, the sinking of his lair while perched over a crocodile's mouth, crashing headlong into his own building several times, and multiple other situations. Candace. She is very durable, having remained uninjured after suffering from perilous falls and even lightning strikes. |

Bowser from Super Mario Bros. , at least in the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series. If there's any otherwise likely death inducing humiliation in those series, it's probably going to happen to him, and he keeps on going. Castle about to explode? Bowser wakes up just in time for it to come crashing down on him. Volcano erupts? He flies straight out the top of it. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story is basically this: the game, with Bowser having to do every stupid thing possible to progress and getting flattened by every castle, robot and train in the kingdom. | |

Though he may shrug off injuries and accidents that would otherwise kill or permanently cripple people and still be determined to save his step dad...very little actually goes right for him throughout the whole movie.

The Last Days of FOXHOUND plays on Liquid Snake's Rasputinian Death in the source material by explicitly making him Nigh-Invulnerable (though he's still treated as the resident Badass Normal, which is Lampshaded). Combine with a dose of Adaptational Dumbass and Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy and you get this trope. The Butt-Monkey part eventually starts to fall away as Character Development and Cerebus Syndrome kick in, but he remains Made of Iron till the bitter end. | |

Red Dead Redemption has the stranger in the black hat viewing the scenery between the ranch and Armadillo. Normally you are prompted to talk him, but instead of doing so, you can push him off the cliff. Since this counts as a failure in completing a Stranger mission, you can come back to the same spot and push him over every single time; on rare occasions will he survive the fall and run all the way up the trail to where you are, seeking revenge. | |

In The Dreamstone the Urpneys take this trope Up to Eleven, aside from the cartoon abuse they take from Zordrak, nearly each and every new scheme involves them being transformed or horribly injured in some slapstick manner (to name a few, being shrunk, zapped with electric bolts, beaten up by Amberley, fell victim to numerous vehicle crashes and mauled by a band of vicious leaves). Out of any of these situations, only being fed to Frazznats or turned to stone has lasting effect. | |

In The Elder Scrolls, the Orcs have long suffered as a Butt-Monkey race. Their bestial appearance and "barbaric" culture (as it is perceived by the other races of Tamriel) make them frequent victims of Fantastic Racism. Several times the Orcs have tried to unite and create their own city-state known as Orsinium, but each time, their neighboring nations (the Bretons of High Rock and Redguards of Hammerfell) have forced them to abandon it. By the 4th Era, the Orcs were forced at swordpoint by the Bretons to officially renounce the kingdom of Orsinium and assimilate into High Rock as slaves in all but name. Only a few Orc tribes still live independently in destitute, scattered "strongholds", scorned by all. Notably, their patron deity, the Daedric Prince Malacath, teaches them to take these trials in stride, as he preaches "strength through adversity." | |

In One Piece, we have Usopp, who, despite being practically useless, survived a Gastanet attack from Caesar Clown, an attack that destroyed a good bit of AN ISLAND, and nearly killed the rest of the crew and the marines at Punk Hazard. Note that he not only has the second lowest (No, not counting Chopper because that's an error made by the marines) bounty, he is also shown to have the least fighting power of them all. That said, Gastanets are similar to to Nuclear bombs in power, but not in range. In the 10th movie, he is also the only of the crew to remain conscious after being encased in a pillar of solid rock. |

She's pushed out a window to the street below, burned on the arm by a vial of acid and sent plummeting down into a truck full of sand, nearly strangled by one of the Penguin's umbrellas and sent crashing through the roof of a glass greenhouse (which rips her costume to shreds), and finally shot four consecutive times in the stomach.

Although most of the injuries are self-inflicted, he has survived: drowning in wine, getting run over by a trolley, many many hanging attempts (including one in which he was yanked so hard the rope broke), his name written in the Death Note, surgery to get turned into a monster, and attempted murder by his students in a dream because they didn't want it to end. Nozomu has even been murdered a couple of times by Chiri and/or most of the class, and he turns up fine at the end of the episode/next segment. | |

Fighter and Black Mage in 8-Bit Theater: The former is repeatedly stabbed in the head, often with no ill effects (it made him smarter once), while Black Mage more or less always survives what's thrown at him (having Australia dropped on him comes to mind) and when he does die that one time, it comes as quite a surprise, but he still gets resurrected in fairly short order so as to continue suffering. It's even a Justified Trope in Black Mage's case. Both good and evil sides of the Powers That Be don't want him to die, because when he does he takes over Hell; the forces of Good don't want that because Black Mage without his meat body is the apocalypse given form, and the forces of Evil don't want that because he's the wrong apocalypse given form and that leads to an awful lot of paperwork. | |

So as long as they remember to shanghai Mash, they can cut loose without fear. ...or pain. | |

Youhei Sunohara in CLANNAD. Not only did he survive being a punching bag or beaten up with a baseball bat, but once he was dropped from a garbage chute SEVERAL FLOORS DOWN and walked away. Tomoyo was briefly worried if he'd be okay, but Tomoya assured her he was impossible to kill. Probably. Pretty much every time Sunohara shows up, you can be guaranteed that someone is going to deliver him a Megaton Punch or kick him across the room by the end of the scene. Not only that, but he pretty much just gets up like nothing happened and walks away, when any other cast member would likely need a stretcher to leave. Lampshaded by Tomoyo at one point in the Visual Novel. |

The Amazing World of Gumball: Gumball suffers from Amusing Injuries in almost every episode. In "The Procrastinators" he's shattered, eaten, lit on fire, disintegrated, and blown up in just one episode. Anton as well. "The Recipe" subverts this by revealing that he does die, but his parents know how to clone him using a toaster. Alan (a balloon) gets popped in most of his speaking roles. He's back to normal by the next. |

The title character from Courage the Cowardly Dog has taken many injuries and is shown to still be fine in the next scenes, even letting out a dazed laughter as if it was nothing. Eustace, however, has him rivaled for this trope, for he has suffered far worse injuries than Courage and is still alive in the next episode. | |

Jaws from The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker goes through many things that would normally kill a person: he survived falling from a cliff while trapped inside a car, attacked by a shark (which he got out of by biting the shark), stabbed and thrown from a building, etc. Each time he experiences one of these he just gets up and dusts himself off. | |

The Blues Brothers survive a whole mess of stuff at the hands of Carrie Fisher's character that Jake abandoned at the altar. Drive by with a rocket launcher, demolishing the entrance of the building they were standing in front of? They just stroll through the rubble, and go inside. Apartment building blown up? Stand up, brush themselves off, and go to work. Propane tank explodes, launching their phone booth into the air? Hey, there's at least seven dollars in change in the wreckage of the payphone! The cops are probably this to a certain extent as well — they chase the Brothers through a mall, end up either submerged in a pile of cereal boxes or with their car upturned; the apartment building explodes, and they stand up, brush themselves off, continue as normal; finally catch up with the brothers, only to end up crashing into a speeding winnebago. In the final chase, they get into a pile up (and in one case, end up landing in the side of a truck). All completely unharmed (and in Mercer's case, highly amused). The movie even (subtly) offers an explanation for all this: the brothers are on a Mission from God, and so He's keeping anyone from getting hurt while they're doing it. |

Keitaro Urashima of Love Hina is a paragon of this trope, largely to make his parade of unlucky injuries stay amusing. Eventually lampshaded when Su claims he is "practically immortal" and when everyone is surprised that his leg has been broken by having part of a building fall on him and it stays that way for a few chapters. Oddly, being in a cast in no way stops him from fighting Motoko's sister who sends him flying, crashing head first into streets, or getting possessed. The original injury was a bit of Tempting Fate where Mutsumi says he has used up all his luck (which is usually low) just to pass the Tokyo U entrance exam. Then Hilarity Ensues. | |

Squidward from SpongeBob SquarePants: His unfortunate fates include being shot out of a cannon, run over by a giant boulder, hit in the face with a pie bomb, zapped by the Flying Dutchman, attacked by a bear, and blown up from eating too many krabby patties, as well as having his toenail ripped off and his head explode. Yet he always manages to get right back to the way he was, and even managed to take a level in badass in "Spongebob, You're Fired!". Plankton, Mrs. Puff and sometimes even SpongeBob himself are just as unlucky. |

Weaponized in Whiplash. Redmond the rabbit is rendered indestructible due to the experiments of Genron. As such, he serves as the game's weapon, functioning like a Flail due to being chained to Spanx. He can also be "powered up" by sticking him into machines that either set him on fire, electrocute him, irradiate him or inflate him like a balloon and can break machines by being tossed into the mechanisms and jamming them. | |

Spike in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has armored scales, and has been literally used as a pincushion without ill effect. Twilight can take a surprising amount of punishment as well, though this has yet to be lampshaded. All ponies seem capable of taking pretty big punishment: Rainbow Dash breaks her wing in one episode and walks it off within a matter of days, Pinkie Pie is run ragged by the Cake twins, Applejack almost works herself to death in "Applebuck Season". The only ponies out of the Mane Six who haven't had a lot of physical punishment yet are Rarity and Fluttershy. |

Mythbusters: Given the accidents Tory Belleci has suffered over the course of the series (especially that bike accident), it's a wonder he's so rarely had to be treated for serious injury. Every Mythbuster has taken a knock or two. Considering the extreme danger they create, it's a credit to their safety protocols that it wasn't more. But one member of the team stands out as a shining paragon of this trope: Buster. He's been exploded, dropped from great heights, and struck with great force countless times. In fact, there's very little that Wile E. Coyote has been subjected to that Buster hasn't, and Buster went through it for real in a live-action show without the benefit of special effects. You just have to overlook the fact that he's a crash test dummy; the rest of the cast do. |

Phoenix in the Ace Attorney series has been whipped into unconsciousness, been hit in the face by scalding hot coffee mugs, and had birds peck at his face, and yet none of this ever leaves so much as a mark on him. At one point, he's even hit by a car and gets out of it with nothing more serious than a sprained ankle. He also once ran across a burning bridge, and fell off halfway across because the bridge fell apart, into a raging river noted that anything that falls in there goes missing forever in the middle of an enormous storm. He caught a cold. | |

My Bride is a Mermaid treats both Saru and Nagasumi like this. In Nagasumi's case, it's actually a minor plot point; he has to continually avoid/survive his mermaid bride's mafia family's various attacks against him whenever they just feel like offing him, from certain family members that already hate him and are also very easily provoked (most notably the bride's father/mafia boss), if it's not just an assassin hired by the aforementioned mafia boss who is just trying to outright kill him. Despite how serious this might sound, it's really just meant as a means for hilarity to ensure. In praticular, he's subjected so often to the Mermaid Voice over the course of the series, that he eventually builds up an immunity to it. | |

Ed, Edd n Eddy. Ed has dropped houses on Edd and Eddy, the Kankers' trailer fell on the Eds, a pile of garage sale junk fell on Ed, all three suffered spontaneous combustion after eating some jalapeno hot sauce, Ed zapped Edd with a static electricity bolt powerful enough to blow up the latter's house. If all that's not enough, all three once smashed into the sky, shattering into pieces. Special mention goes to Eddy, seeing as he's the biggest butt monkey of the three; he's been beaten up more than anyone else on the show, had his arm smashed against a filing cabinet repeatedly, run through a thorn bush naked, been attacked by a psychotic rooster, trampled by hippos, been struck by lightning, shattered into bits like glass, had his hair used as a violin, had his head sucked into a vacuum, used as the ball in a giant set of Newton Balls, had his head smashed into a tree God knows how many times, been smashed on against a metal trailer like a super ball, had his head pecked by a chicken for twenty-four hours then shrunk, run over by a truck and a train, but for the most part walks it off. |

Wario is outright invincible in the Wario Land games (after the first one); any enemies encountered there either serve as obstacles that make him drop his precious coins or as a means of transforming him in some way to reach otherwise inaccessible areas. Such transformations involve his getting set aflame, frozen solid or Squashed Flat, and becoming a Human Snowball, an Accordion Man or a zombie, among other things. In any event, he's able to shrug off anything that happens to him. | |

Richard Hammond on Top Gear, especially in the earlier series, always seems to get the physically unpleasant challenges (sitting in a car filling with water, running to the North Pole with a dogsled, etc.) When he actually did bounce back from a No One Could Survive That! accident, his co-presenters were courteously solemn about it for at least half a series — but now it's open joke fodder. | |

To list a few of the things that have happened to him: fallen out a two-story window, got his head chewed on by a lion at the zoo, has gotten run over by a team of sumo wrestlers, had bowling balls fall on his head, and has fallen into multiple kinds of holes. Those are only some of the things he's suffered, in two chapters alone — and he came out fine. (Albeit, he did have multiple casts on, but only for a week. At the end, he had a single bandage around his head.) | |

The villains from Home Alone should have died several times over from Kevin's traps. A movie for kids manages to go further than a Sam Peckinpah film when it comes to makeshift household protection. The second movie features even deadlier traps, including several bricks to the face thrown from the roof of a building and an explosion that destroys an entire floor of the house yet somehow leaves the bad guys largely unscathed. |

Homestar Runner has Strong Sad. He is constantly getting beaten up or worse by other characters. He ends up doing all the dangerous stunts in the Dangeresque films. And in one email, The Cheat decides to curry favor with Strong Bad. We don't see what happens, but we hear what sounds like a power drill and Strong Sad shouting "Ow! Both my face and hands!" | |

Hong Meiling is perhaps the best known Iron Butt Monkey of the Touhou series, as she is often caught by Sakuya slacking off during her job of guarding Scarlet Devil Mansion's gate. Fanon depicts that Meiling becomes a cushion for Sakuya's knives on a daily basis, but since Meiling is youkai, she doesn't die. She's also fanonly depicted as a chew toy for Flandre. |

The Three Stooges have suffered plenty of injuries that would maim or even kill a normal human being, like having bricks fall on their heads, being shot several times in the buttocks, falling from great heights, having a stick of dynamite go off in their pants, and that's only scratching the surface. Although if you've got to be shot, the buttocks are pretty much the healthiest place to do it. No organs, very few major blood vessels, lots of force-absorbing muscle. Except if you get hit with shrapnel in one of the iliac arteries and bleed out within minutes. It may be the healthiest spot, but still not healthy enough. Curly seemed the most resilient — a common gag was to have Moe pound him over the head with a hammer or run a saw over his scalp, and the tool would be irreparably damaged. |

Tomoki from Heaven's Lost Property. Not only does he get hit by megaton karate chops (one time being held up against an electrical fence), but also beam weapons to the crotch, being launched through roofs, crushed by several face-palms of doom, squashed by giant fly-swatters, dragged into the open air at Mach 17, and his most notable achievement, getting hit point-blank with a beam cannon that's able to annihilate planets and having his heart pierced. There is nothing that can kill this guy. | |

In Angel Beats!, due to the fact that everyone is already dead and in the afterlife, everyone will fully recover from any injuries, no matter how fatal or violent. This leads to several scenes where characters are killed for humor. | |

Ataru from Urusei Yatsura. He is basically the very incarnation of this trope. It's even lampshaded in one book, where he gets a broken arm, and everyone can't believe it. | |

Family Guy. The entire family. Peter falls down stairs (repeatedly), Brian (being a dog) gets hit by cars, Stewie's had large pieces of glass stuck in his head, Lois has fallen off the roof and been drenched in scalding-hot french fry oil... and yet its Meg who's the series Buttmonkey. Ironic, huh? Not to mention that Meg's suffered such indignities as having her hair set on fire, having a piano fall on her (something that also befell Peter) and been shot full of poison darts. |

Mooks or thugs that you faced in Yakuza are considered this trope as in if you use a Heat Action on them they somehow limp away from the fight despite most of the Heat Actions being extraordinarily lethal. | |

During the course of Tales of the Abyss, Dist survives near-drowning, almost freezing to death, falling from an extremely tall tower while also being caught in an explosion (!), and a blast to the face from the most powerful magic user in the game, and is also hinted to have suffered years of abuse at Jade's hands in his childhood. Yet he never seems the worse for the wear; not only does he not die (and in fact is the only one of the Six God Generals still alive at the end), he has no scars and we never even see him injured. No wonder Jade says he's as tenacious as a cockroach. | |

Vice Admiral Arthur Norbank in Nexus: The Jupiter Incident has a really hard time dying, despite his numerous failures as a commander and despite the players' sincerest wishes. His ships have been blown up so many times (due to his own incompetence), it's always an unpleasant surprise whenever he shows up safe and sound. In a later mission, the player has a chance to leave Norbank to die. | |

Deadpool himself often enters this territory due to effectively being immortal, meaning that at various points he's been shot through the head with an arrow, eaten alive by parasites, dropped out of a plane with no parachute, etc., all with no lasting effects. Handwaved in that all of this, healing factor aside, is due to a curse from Thanos to keep him away from Death — with whom both men fell in love. | |

Waspinator of Transformers: Beast Wars. The writers found his speech pattern, which combined a buzzing emphasis on any S or Z sounds with being a Third-Person Person and The Nicknamer, annoying to work with, but they still had to include him in episodes for marketing purposes, so they opted to have him make those appearances in pieces. This shoddy treatment made him, ironically enough, very popular with the fans, and the writers eventually came around on him...at which point they started to really go to town on him, since the comically unpleasant treatment he endured was the cornerstone of his appeal. Expanded universe material would explain that his spark (basically his soul) was unusually small and located in his head, explaining why he could be shot to pieces, blown up, run over, folded, spindled, mutilated, crushed into a cube, blown up again and repeatedly decapitated without dying. | |

The Muppets: Beaker recently died. Still doesn't get any respect. Gonzo's career as stuntman thrives off the fact that constantly failing his stunts never seems to seriously hurt him. In fact, sometimes he enjoys it. |
