Line 272:
* Ricky has been repeatedly shot on ''[[Trailer Park Boys]]'', often by accident, although always in a non-vital area. The worst damage he usually suffers is to his pride.
* The main characters on ''[[Married... with Children]]'' demonstrate this: Marcy has been electrocuted, Kelly been bitten by deadly poisonous insects, Bud suffered various injuries in his futile attempts at romance, and Al suffering everything from electrocution to shooting himself in the foot to setting himself on fire to industrial accidents while trying to build a workbench with Jefferson to [[Crowning Moment of Funny|repeatedly falling off the roof with Jefferson and his other buddies while trying to install a satellite dish on the roof]].
* Freddie on ''[[ICarlyiCarly]]'' endures what sounds like a brutal beating from Sam in the episode "iMeet Fred", being hit hard enough with a tennis racket to cause it to break. A blow of such severity to the head (say from Sam wanting to knock some sense into him) would likely result in loss of consciousness, a concussion, and severe bleeding from cranial lacerations. Striking any part of the body that severely would be intensely painful and would result in definite physical trauma, and likely broken bones. However, at the end of this, Freddy walks out looking somewhat mussed and scared, a little bruised but no worse for wear. Moments later Sam pushes him out of a tree house, and yet he is still able to actively take part in making Fred videos afterward.
* ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'': In "Born Under a Bad Sign", Dean got pistol-whipped, shot in the shoulder (and later had a thumb digging into his bullet wound. Ouch), nearly got beaten to death and was left to drown in icy water. And after all that, he still manages to drive? The boy is super-human!
* After the events of "House's Head"/"Wilson's Heart" especially, [[House (TV series)|House]] should be either be dead or suffering serious brain damage by now.
Line 418:
** Shepard [[Up to Eleven|turns this up to eleven]] in [[Mass Effect 3]] when {{spoiler|s/he is blasted by Harbinger's main gun on the way to the Citadel during the endgame. Bear in mind this is a gun that fires molten metal at near-lightspeed, and it has been shown to destroy dreadnoughts in other appearances. Shepard just gets up and keeps going, albeit with major injuries.}}
* ''[[Suikoden II]]'': Luca Blight ends up fighting eighteen heroes working in tandem, defeating at least twelve of them, and has to have half an army shoot him in order to weaken him enough to make a duel against him even remotely fair.
* ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Bowser, definitely. From being [[Super Mario Bros.|thrown]] [[Super Mario 64|into]] [[New Super Mario Bros Wii|lava]], [[Mario and& Luigi: BowsersBowser's Inside Story|crushed by two castles and a train]], and [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|knocked into a sun followed by a black hole]] among much more, the sheer amount of things he's survived with barely a scratch on him is amazing.
** ''[[Paper Mario: theThe Thousand -Year Door]]'' lampshades this in his playable sections. He has literally infinite lives.
** Perhaps the Mario Brothers aren't the only ones who can benefit from One-up Mushrooms.
* ''[[Paper Mario: theThe Thousand -Year Door]]'' has a literal example in Chapter 3 with the Iron Clefts/Armored Harriers/Iron Adonis Twins who [[Nigh Invulnerable|cannot be beaten]] until Mario gets his [[Sword of Plot Advancement|Yoshi partner]].
* King K Rool in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. In the first game it's fairly standard punishment, but in the second, he gets his gun explode on him about ten times, gets punched out the window of an airship by a captured Donkey Kong, hits every single cliff face on the way down, torn apart by sharks, sinks into the ocean, has his gun explode AGAIN in the [[True Final Boss]] battle, flies into the island core, is presumably there when it sinks like Atlantis and sails away on his ship afterwards. Then, in the third game, he gets electrocuted like ten times from his mad science laboratory equipment, and has a giant egg dropped on his head by the freed Banana Bird queen... Then gets beaten up by all five Kongs in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', hit by a rocket powered boot shot by Funky Kong, thrown straight through the roof of the boxing roof and into K Lumsy Island, where said giant locked up Kremling proceeds to beat K Rool senseless for locking him up. He's perfectly fine in later appearances.
* In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', {{spoiler|the Cardinal in the St. Peter's Basilica Lair of Romulus sidequest}} can take multiple crossbow bolts or blows from a heavy weapon, damage that would crumple a [[Heavily Armored Mook|Brute]], despite apparently wearing nothing more protective than cloth robes.
