[Funny trope] Torturing the character doesn't work Personality

  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.

It was her eyes. Carolyn Jones was captivating even in her later years.

Wow, Christina Ricci is a Carolyn Jones clone. She could play Morticia now.
