Some tropes reference things that ''really'' should not be played for laughs, but for some reason often are. One of the consequences of [[Sadist Show|comedies using schadenfreude]] is that they can tread on [[Trigger/Analysis|subjects that are quite]] serious]] to some people.
 
 
Line 8:
** [[Prison Rape]]: Same as above.
* The old sitcom version of [[Domestic Abuse]].
** Modern sitcoms' use of [[AbuseDouble IsStandard Okay When ItsAbuse (Female Onon Male)]] has been gradually starting to get this reaction (although so far it hasn't been nearly vocal enough to convince the networks to stop using it).
* [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood]]: Child abuse [[Played for Laughs]].
* [[Maximum Fun Chamber]]: [[Cold-Blooded Torture]], played for humor. Because who can't see the lighter side of agonizing pain?
Line 15:
* [[Suicide as Comedy]]: About 60% of suicide attempts are played for laughs (65% if you add the [[Flanderization|Flanderized]] [[The Simpsons|Moe Szyslak]]).
* [[Too Soon]]
* [[The Mentally Disturbed|Insanity and Mental Illness]] are often played for laughs]], particularly as a result of intentionally inflicted mental distress.
** Also [[The Alcoholic|alcoholism]].
* Mocking or criticizing an [[Unacceptable Targets|Unacceptable Target]].
* [[Unprovoked Pervert Payback]]: Expect this to happen at least once in a [[Harem]] anime.
* [[April Fools' Day]] jokes if they seem to come across as way totoo cruel or unfunny.
* Jokes about [[Animal Cruelty]]
