When something really horrible happens or someone tells a character really bad news. It can happen three ways, but it usually played for comedy.
Bob tells Alice horrible news. Bob says to Claire, 'I think she's taking it well'. Alice then starts freaking out. (Yelling, getting a weapon, screaming, hurting herself or others, etc)
Bob tells Alice horrible news. Alice immediately starts freaking out. Bob says to Claire: 'I think she's taking it well.'
Bob tells Alice horrible news. Alice does not freak out at all, actually does take the news well considering the circumstances and reacts calmly and with composure to Claire's surprise.

The Simpsons
In "Treehouse of Horror V" segment The Shinning, Homer finds that the cable has been cut and there's no beer in the fridge, and he responds with a cheerful "Whaddya know!".
At the end of "The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace", when Homer finds out that he left his electric hammer at a Thomas Edison exhibition, which leads it being mistaken for a lost Edison invention (with the royalties going to his already wealthy heirs), while sitting on the toilet-chair he invented.

Type 2 happens on occasion in Garfield and Friends. For example, in one episode where Binky the Clown is fired and becomes a handyman, Jon faints upon seeing the "renovations" he's done. Garfield, who's narrating at the time, remarks, "Jon took it rather well, I thought."

In What Might Have Been, most of the Crystal Gems took it pretty well when Rose revealed herself to them, Moss Agate relieved that she isn't the only one that frightens the others, or Biggs asking whether this means they should call her "Rose Diamond" or "Pink Quartz."

A different form is seen in Futurama episode "How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back", as seeing that the bureaucrat officer was about to see Hermes's office torn apart by Bender, Leela calls up to him and tells him, "You are taking it pretty well." Hermes answers, "Don't worry, I've got a plan." He plans to commit suicide from the top of the PE bulding, but the bureaucrat forbids him from doing so as Hermes has not filed the required forms.

Happens in Lucifer (2016) when Lucifer reveals his Game Face to Dr. Martin, proving to her that all his Cassandra Truths about angels and demons really weren't an elaborate metaphor, and leaving her staring at the wall in shock. Mazikeen later tells her that she's taking it extremely well — true, since people who see Lucifer's face stand a good chance of ending up as shrieking lunatics.

In The Property of Hate, when Hero finally gets the chance to tell RGB about his Superpowered Evil Side and her encounters with it, he says it's concerning that it exists and that he never knew, but doesn't freak out and calmly discusses the issue, using a complex analogy that helps them work out that "Negative" is literally his negative - a Shadow Archetype.
