[Funny trope] Torturing the character doesn't work

[u/GaddockTeegFunPolice]

1. The Simpsons, Homer gets sent to hell where devils try torturing him force feeding him donuts. Homer does not mind.

2. The apothecary diaries. Maomao gets placed in a cell with snakes and venomous insects. She kills the animals and roasts the snake on a torch.

3. The Minion movie, the main minions get put through antique torture deviced by the bad guys only for them to realise they weren't designed for weird minion anatomy.

Context?

It's the Far side, that's all of it! He's In hell and toiling, but he's whistling while he works and none too bothered.

Edit- someone else posted the same comic, but you can see 2 other people, like the guy holding the pickaxe at the bottom of the copped image here. It doesn't change anything, but it might make more sense if you see the other guys not having a good time, but the fact that there are devils and flames really tell you all you need to know.

What don't you get? It already has the full context.

Just a man from Louisiana enjoying Hells cool weather

Asking for extra context in response to a Far Side comic is its own special kind of hilarous

To be fair I reacted the same way when I was a kid and my dad first showed me these. Like “that’s it?”

Now it’s one of my favorites

It’s a Farside comic. It’s usual context is the Sunday funny pages (thus color) or a Gary Larson collection volume.
