| Reel Torture | comment |
This trope relates to a method of torture in which somebody is Forced to Watch a movie, TV show, video recording or photo reel (the latter is especially common) that they find terrible. What makes this scene different from The Ludovico Technique is that the former is done as a form of Brainwashing while Reel Torture is just about torturing or punishing a character without the intent of brainwashing them. This trope is usually Played for Laughs but sometimes can be used seriously. Used repeatedly in Mid-Review Sketch Shows, the Caustic Critic in question often treating or comparing the movie/comic/video game/etc. as being similar to a torture device and will comedically overreact to it as though it were physically painful to them. Subtrope of Cool and Unusual Punishment. Related to Forced to Watch and Suckiness Is Painful. If the film the victim is made to watch is a real life film, this trope may also be a form of Take That!. If the reel is a person's vacation trip, then it may be an example of a Boring Vacation Slideshow. |

Roomies!, It's Walky!, Joyce and Walky!: The Head Alien's preferred torture is forcing people to watch The Sound of Music. This is treated as horrific by all characters except Walky and Joyce, who both like the film. When Cerebus Syndrome hits, this is played more seriously as the Head Alien first forces Joyce to watch porn (which warps her innocent mind) and later uses The Sound of Music to keep prisoners helpless while he starts mass-executing them. | |

Freakazoid!: In "The Chip," the Douglas family is held hostage and subjected to a Marty Ingels marathon. The climax of the short "Hot Rods From Heck!" sees Freakazoid making an Attack Drone car explode by showing it a TV playing a special of "seven hours of Tony Danza!" The car even shows a brief moment of anthropomorphism by acting in sheer revulsion before going boom. |

American Dad!: In "Wild Women Do", Klaus ties Steve to the bed and forces him to watch a tape of him doing hundreds of terrible celebrity impressions. After six hours of torture, Steve breaks down and starts giggling, at which point Klaus decides to set him free. This backfires when Steve immobilizes Klaus and demands him to keep doing impressions for his amusement. In "Tearjerker", the eponymous villain produces a film called "Oscar Gold", which depicts the life of a mentally challenged, alcoholic Jewish kid and his cancer-riddled puppy during The Holocaust. He then ties Stan to a chair and forces him to watch it, intending to have the protagonist literally cry to death. In "Poltergasm", Klaus accidentally subjects himself to this when he breaks his back while staying at a hotel, leaving him to watch the looping video on the TV's information channel with the remote just out of reach. Worse, nobody comes in to help him because he put a "DO NOT DISTURB" sign on the room door. |

Disenchantment: One of the many punishments in Hell is being strapped to a chair and forced to watch your worst memories on a film screen over and over again, with a bag of popcorn next to them that's just out of reach. For Hansel and Gretel, it's the moment of their deaths when Bean killed them. For Bean and Elfo, it's the moment where Bean chose to revive Dagmar instead of Elfo. The latter is very pissed off at her when he finds out about it, with his anger lasting until the next few episodes. | |
