Corsets can be painful. Squeezing four or more inches from your waist in order to get that perfect figure? Dear god, that must be torture—however will you be able to breathe? This perception has been carried into fiction: if corsetry is mentioned in a period drama, it is often in the form of a woman's complaint about the pain caused by being squeezed—usually against her will—into the garment.
The trope is older than radio, as a lot of literature—some medically sound, most not, and much of it seemingly intended to titillate—was produced in the nineteenth century regarding the dangers of corset-wearing and tightlacing, and the perceptions of garments as dangerous inevitably made their way to fiction. Later, after corsets stopped being ubiquitous, works featuring the garments, while not necessarily portraying them as deadly or even dangerous, would often present them as something to be endured for vanity; it is during this period that some of the most enduring images of corsets, such as that of Scarlett O'Hara doing anything for an 18.5-inch waist, were created. More recently, creators have taken to using the physical constriction provided by corsets as an allegory for the societal constriction women faced in the past; when a woman complains about her stays, she's actually complaining about how she's oppressed by society's norms. It's a common complaint of the Spirited Young Lady.
As for how much of the discomfort attributed to corsets is Truth in Television, the answer to that depends on a lot of different factors, including the corset itself, the person wearing it, and the circumstances under which they do so. While it is quite possible to comfortably wear tight corsets for extended periods, and there are plenty of people who regularly do so, there are also plenty of other people who do not speak of the experience positively, helping keep this trope alive.
Can often overlap with Of Corsets Funny. See also Of Corsets Sexy, for a more general overview on the garment's use, and Fashion Hurts, for other kinds of clothing-related pain. Compare to Hates Wearing Dresses.

When Victor laces Lily into a corset for the first time in Penny Dreadful and puts her in fashionable shoes, she thinks it's extremely painful and uncomfortable. There's a brief exchange where Victor says that the purpose of corsets is to prevent women from overexerting themselves in case they conquer the world, before he tells her to take the corset off if it hurts, since he doesn't want anything that causes her pain (even if he does think she looks nice). She keeps the fancy shoes, though.

Invoked in Ranma ½ once with a steel corset Ranma is forced to wear as a girl. It's tight enough when worn as a girl — when Madame St. Paul first forced Ranma into it, the latter is screaming in pain — and as such, constrains his bones to a point of almost crushing when he turns back into a man, forcing him to keep his female form. Thus, the symbolism of Ranma being trapped in the guise of an obedient girl both physically and metaphorically is complete.

In E.L. Doctorow's novel Ragtime, Evelyn Nesbit flees a crowd and is taken in by Emma Goldman. Once Evelyn's corset is removed (along with the rest of her garments), Emma treats the marks it left on Evelyn's flesh. Given that Emma Goldman was in real life an advocate of socialism and women's rights, the garment is clearly symbolic of the sufferings caused by the society of the time.

The expression on Rose's face in Titanic (1997) as her corset is being laced by her mother shows the pain informative of this trope. It's symbolic as her mother is explaining that Rose has no choice but to marry Cal as she laces her up.

Karolina Żebrowska has done several videos being active in well fitting corsets to pointedly avert the trope, and has complained about Hollywood's insistence on using not historically accurate tight lacing in period dramas and forcing actresses into badly fitted corsets and/or not giving them time to get used to wearing a corset ensuring the actress is miserable too.

The women on Mad Men often wore girdles (especially in the earlier seasons).
Joan was seen taking off the strap of one of her full body girdles (looks like a full slip) and a nasty red mark in her shoulder is revealed. She looks very much in pain, especially after having been stiffed at work.
A few seasons later, a teenage girl talks with Betty about how her late mother once wore a rubber girdle that would leave the older woman's stomach in pain with the girl remarking on how "you'd rather die of a stomach ache so Daddy will like you."

Despite providing the page image, female characters in Emma: A Victorian Romance only wore extremely tight corsets for special occasions, in this case taking a couple of inches off before a date.
However, they are described as painful, or at least really uncomfortable. In one scene of the manga, Emma's employer Dorothea Meredith is being dressed for the day, when her husband Wilhelm enters the room and proceeds to lace his wife's corset. Despite the whole scene is described as a jocular, almost sexual moment of intimacy, Wilhelm has to place his foot on Dorothea's back and pull the laces with all of his might to squeeze his wife into the desired shape. The author's commentary for this scene claims that, according to her researches, such a painful scenario was common and not surprising at all.

Corsage:
Elisabeth is frequently seen getting tight-laced into corsets. Though painful, she does it to maintain her figure. Throughout the film the corset is a metaphor of the restrictions placed upon Elisabeth in her unhappy personal life.
Late in the film Elisabeth asks her lady-in-waiting Marie to stand in for her at a social event. The corset emulating Elisabeth's figure is drawn so tight she has to leave in the middle and throw up.

Cinderella (2015): A pre-ball scene has Ella's stepsisters enlisting her assistance in lacing their corsets. We get a closeup of Drizella's face as she instructs Ella to tighten it that indicates she's not exactly trained with these things. In a bit of Shown Their Work, Charles Perrault mentions the sisters using laces (and even starving themselves) to get nice figures for the ball.
A behind-the-scenes Real Life example was Lily James, who played Cinderella, talking about how difficult it was to get into her steel-boned corset for the ballgown, and how she could not eat solid food while wearing it.

Black Butler:
The infamous corset scene gives us a rare male example of this, although Ciel was preparing to go to a ball undercover. As a girl.
It's interesting to note that, since men don't give birth, their organs don't shift around as easily so it's more difficult for them to wear corsets properly.
The manga and OVA depict the general scene of Lizzy getting her corset tightened by her maid, Mary, even telling her to pull it tighter, as it was the norm for most girls (even young teens like Lizzy) to begin getting a thin waist.

In one episode of Call the Midwife, an unmarried woman hides her pregnancy via a girdle, fearing that she'll be fired from her job for it. Nurse Jenny is horrified to find this out since it poses many medical issues for the woman and her child. The woman is convinced to stop wearing it, and the baby is thankfully born fine.

There was a scene in the first season of The Vampire Diaries where Katherine Pierce was having her corset put on by Emily, her handmaiden, and by the expression on her face and her small gasp at every tightening of the corset, we could just imagine what it felt like.

Two in Murdoch Mysteries:
In Season 3's "Victor, Victorian", a cross-dressing Dr. Ogden comments on how freeing it feels to not have to wear a corset.
Season 8's "The Devil Wears Whalebone" has a murder victim who is killed by a corset designed by the murderer to contract sharply and suffocate the victim. Dr. Ogden also mentions a nanny who made her and her sister sleep in their corsets, going so far as to tie their arms behind their backs so they couldn't remove them. Dr. Grace is encouraged to go corset-free by her lesbian lover.

The Duchess: During the wedding-night scene when Georgiana is being undressed by her new husband, we see that she's wearing her corset over bare skin (which reveals a set of painful-looking welts when the corset is removed). This is incorrect, as corsets were (and are) properly worn over a protective garment of some sort (usually a chemise) to protect the wearer from just such injuries.

Mulan, during the "Honor to Us All" montage, and she doesn't enjoy it. It wasn't exactly a corset, but a large sash pulled very tight to make her waist smaller. The animators were probably trying to invoke the trope without actually using a corset (corsets were never a fashion in China). Ironically, the matchmaker berates her for being too skinny to bear children. Perhaps she was destined to fail and ultimately become China's savior?

In Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, when Elizabeth is being dressed in a corset, Governor Swann tells her it's the fashion in London. She replies, "Well, women in London must have learned not to breathe...!"
Despite Elizabeth's corsets being based in an era where they were designed to be more comfortable and supportive than nearly any other era, there actually is some logic to this particular example. Elizabeth has lived her entire life in Port Royal, where fashion trends of the time probably take several months to arrive from places like London and Paris, if not years, and has probably been wearing softer stays where the emphasis was less on shrinking her waist and more on lifting her bust (like a modern camisole with a built-in bra). The corset her father buys her was likely intended to be worn by a woman whose body had been somewhat corset-trained since age twelve or so, and who would not feel too squeezed by it at all. Elizabeth, on the other hand, hasn't experienced that, so the amount of constriction probably would feel shockingly painful to her and alter her breathing to the point of her later collapse.
It's also likely that the woman lacing the corset didn't know how to do it properly, and just laced it as tight as she could. Which is not how to properly lace a corset, and can indeed lead to shortness of breath and fainting.
Even more likely is simply that Elizabeth's dress is new. When you make garments from natural materials you have to make them smaller than you want them to be. Elizabeth's father gives her the dress while she is having her corset put on. He seems not to have realized that the waist will expand by at least an inch about ten minutes after she puts it on as the linen fibers relax. If she had worn it for a little bit before putting her corset on, she likely wouldn't have had this problem.

Discussed at length in Nancy Springer's Enola Holmes series. The prospect of wearing corsets, as part of boarding school and normal society, is one of the major factors that influence Enola to run away from her brothers' custody.
The horrors of corsets are an important factor to the mystery in The Case of the Gypsy Good-bye. A missing duchess is known to have an extremely slim waist from spending all her time since childhood, even while sleeping, in a full-length spoon busk corset. The duchess's kidnappers merely stole her expensive clothes and abandoned her—but she stayed missing because her waist had atrophied to such a degree that she could not walk without the corset.

The eccentric and rough-and-tumble co-protagonist of The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess, Princess Anisphia "Anis" Wynn Palettia, quite dislikes corsets, according to her maid, Illia Coral; the final episode of the anime confirms the claim in a scene showing Anis reacting poorly to being laced into one. Illia also asserts that the other co-protagonist, Euphyllia "Euphie" Magenta, will no longer have to wear corsets now that she is no longer engaged to Anis' brother and is free to pursue her interests, further reinforcing the garment's symbolism.

Enola Holmes: Enola was raised by a feminist mother who didn't make her wear corsets. While she is able to wear a normal corset without any problems and is even able to fight off an attacker in one, the finishing school she's sent to insists on lacing her much too tightly for waist training, which is shown to be quite painful. The former is a case of Shown Their Work, as regular corsets weren't that restrictive, as well as the fact that she purchased the corset in a women's boutique, where it was likely laced by a professional dresser (as opposed to the the school, where Enola has no idea how to put it on and just winds up yanking it as tight as possible).

Laura looks forward to haying time in Little Town on the Prairie because it's an opportunity to remove her corset. While Ma says she ought to sleep in her corset, and Mary does, Laura can't.
Carrie also doesn't seem too keen on them. At one point, Mary is trying on a new dress, but it's absolutely skintight and she can hardly breathe, let alone finish the buttons. Laura realizes Mary's corset must have stretched back out, and while she pulls it tight again, all the while warning her sister not to breathe, Carrie's comment is a relieved "I'm glad I'm not old enough to wear corsets." Laura tells her to be glad while she can be.
In Little House in the Big Woods, when two of Laura's aunts are getting dressed for a dance, one of them hangs onto the bed so the other can drag on her corset strings with all her weight, bracing her feet like she's in a tug-o-war. Unsatisfied, she measures her waist with her hands and says that when Laura's ma married Pa, he could span her waist with his hands.

On Emergency!, Johnny and Roy got called to a woman's house. She put on a new girdle that was so tight she could barely breathe and spoke in little more than a whisper. When Johnny cut the girdle off her, it smacked him in the face.

Kingdom of Loathing features the "Whalebone corset" as an accessory. Equipping it will give your character damage reduction, but at a health loss penalty. Funnily enough, both genders can use this item.

The Continentals has a dinner party scene in which the gender-bending Lady Fiona Fiziwigg and the conventionally feminine Evelynne Poole spar verbally on the subject.

In the TV version of The Alienist, the camera gives several closeups of the marks left on Sara Howard's bare back by her corset. (Although it must be noted this is artistic license; a woman of Sara's time would have worn a chemise under her corset for exactly this reason. Poor Dakota Fanning.)

The Critic: Lampshaded by a maid pulling on corset strings, yelling, "Suck it in! Suck it in!", and it's revealed to be Jay Sherman. The corset, however, is put on more like a straitjacket than a corset, with Jay's arms bound as well. He mutters, "I don't think this is right." The maid scoffs at this, puts a top hat on him, and boots him out of the room.

Scarlet O'Hara powers through the pain as Mammy draws her corset ever tighter before the barbeque at Twelve Oaks in Gone with the Wind.

Done implicitly in the Star Trek TNG episode "Time's Arrow," when Picard et al are in 19th century San Francisco; neither Troi nor Dr. Crusher looks comfortable in period fashion.
