Hilariously Abusive Childhood: Difference between revisions

* Most of Ranma Saotome's life spent training with his dad in ''[[Ranma ½]]'', most infamously when his dad "taught" him the Cat Fist technique by wrapping him in sausage and throwing him in a pit of hungry cats.

** Not to mention the flashbacks we see of Mousse being stomped all over by Shampoo when he tried to woo her as a little kid.

* A scene cut from the English dub of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' had Usagi have an [[Imagine Spot]] where her mother strangled her for having bad grades.

* Allen Walker's childhood from ''[[D.Gray-man]]''. His abuse and psychological trauma at the hands of his [[Trickster Mentor|master]] General Cross is [[Comedic Sociopathy|played entirely for laughs]]. Whenever he hears the word "debt," it's shown as a thousand-pound rock is crushing his chest, and he gets ''very'' depressed. This was caused by Cross being an alcoholic gambler that left young Allen with all his debt... along with hitting Allen, all done in a funny (Or sometimes [[Dude, Not Funny]]) light, of course. The other parts of his horribly traumatizing childhood [[Deconstruction|are played brutally straight]].

{{quote|'''Huey''': That's, like... Academy Award-''nominated'' sad.}}

* The ''entire'' childhood of [[The Fairly Odd Parents|Timmy Turner]] can to be considered to this way. Especially as that is why children get Fairy Godparent assigned to them in the first place.

** [[Sarcasm Mode|Nothing like a Puritan upbringing.]]

*** Remember, this is Pinkie Pie [[Unreliable Narrator|telling the story]].

* [[Archer]] definitely received one of these from Malory. It's always played for laughs... but since this is a show that plays miscarriages and cancer for laughs, that's not really surprising.
