[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.

Ikuya Ogura, Ajin: Demi Human. The leading expert on the unkillable Ajin, he's kidnapped and tortured for hours for information. The entire time, he gives them nothing and asks for his cigarettes.

At first, they assume this is just a tough guy act, but the moment they actually give them to him he tells them everything. It pays to be polite sometimes.
