Line 9: It's almost guaranteed that a variation on this conversation will take place: {{quote\|'''[[Big Bad]]''': [[Tim Taylor Technology\|Increase the intensity!]] '''[[Torture Technician]]''': [[Even Evil Has Standards\|But that could kill him]]! '''Big Bad''': [[Kick the Dog\|DO IT]]! }} Line 119: This can also be assumed to be what is happening in "the booth" in that same episode. The episode "Dagger of the Mind" features the neural neutralizer. Admittedly, it wasn't made for torture, and, being based on direct neutral stimulation, it didn't need any electrode-like things to be attached to the subject. Dr. Tristan Adams nevertheless figured out a way to make it into a very painful brainwashing device. * ''[[Star Trek: The ~~Next Generation\|Star Trek the~~ Next Generation]]'', the two-part episode "Chain of Command", where it was combined with sophisticated psychological torture methods. The episode was openly praised by Amnesty International for its realistic depiction of torture. ** And the methods are a [[Homage]] to ''[[Nineteen Eighty-Four\|1984]]'', above. Right down to the [[How Many Fingers?]] torture trigger (with Picard's memorable "THERE ARE ''FOUR'' LIGHTS!" at the end). * ''[[Babylon 5]]'' had the Centauri Emperor torture G'Kar with an "electric whip" that delivered an increased charge each time, with a guaranteed fatal shock on the 40th blow, simply because he wanted to hear G'Kar scream. [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic\|He does, on the 39th lash.]] Line 147: * This was the specialty of the killer in the ''[[Criminal Minds]]'' episode "Limelight". * In ''[[Married... with Children\|Married With Children]]'', Peg and Al are competing with Steve and Marcie on a TV game show which gives prizes to the couple who torture each other worse. One of the tortures is electrocution. * In an episode of ''[[The Flash (TV ~~series~~1990)\|\|The Flash]]'', Barry Allen is transported ten years into the future where his brother's killer Nicolas Pike runs Central City. He uses an electric chair in the old STAR Labs to give whoever opposes him an electric lobotomy. However, when Nicolas had Barry strapped up to the chair and given a full measure of the chair's powers, it briefly restores Barry's superspeed allowing him to escape. Line 191: == [[Web Comics]] == * In [[Holiday Wars]], The [[Easter Bunny]] has a remote that zaps and electrocutes [[April Fools' Day]], as seen [~~http~~https://~~www~~web.archive.org/web/20160313095542/http://th3rdworld.com/web-comic/~~Holiday~~holiday-~~Wars~~wars/episode/~~Holiday~~holiday-~~Wars~~wars-~~Episode~~episode-41 in this strip]. * Dupree of ''[[Girl Genius]]'' [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20041231 shows us how a medical device] can be tweaked a little to deliver massive electrical shocks for interrogation purposes. * In ''[[Minion Comics]]'' Spencer and Dingus are offered various options for their torture, including a "car battery to the balls." They decline, noting that [https://web.archive.org/web/20130120051353/http://www.meetmyminion.com/?p=1042 "we've tried that with our nipples once. Probably not going to get you anywhere]." * In [[Gaia Online]]'s plot comic, {{spoiler\|Don Kuro tortures Zhivago for attempting to refuse an order to kill Gino Gambino}}. Turns out he's [[Not So Harmless]] after all... Line 221: [[Category:A Tortured Index]] [[Category:Applied Phlebotinum]] [[Category:Death Trap Tropes]] [[Category:~~Electric Torture~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
