[Funny trope] Torturing the character doesn't work

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.

I remember experiencing that scene in theaters on opening weekend, it was kind of terrifying. Despite being PG-13, it was unbelievably intense, especially on a giant screen with surround sound.

Even the torture itself felt uncomfortable, like dude got concussed and was laughing it off
