Line 41:
** Technically, he ''succeeds'' in torturing Mal to death (well, "dead" as in "heart stopped" or something, then promptly revived him so he could be tortured some more).
** Said prisoner was also a relation of his.
** [[Power Rangers]]:
* Subverted/parodied in ''[[Power Rangers RPM]]'': [[Femme Fatale|minion Tenaya 7]], after returning from a seemingly failed mission and beginning to be condemned by her boss [[A.I. Is a Crapshoot|Venjix]], outright mockingly asks if he's going to say the titular trope line. Venjix is not pleased.
** When Lord Zedd made his grand entrance in ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'', he punished Rita by sticking her back in her [[Sealed Evil in a Can|dumpster]] (well, that or a ''different'' dumpster) and sending her off into space.
** Inverted in the first episode of ''[[Power Rangers SPD]]''. It appears Emperor Gruumm is about to punish Piggy (a "useless, pathetic excuse for a creature", who has failed him a lot in the past) for failure. He isn't - ''this'' time, Piggy managed to do something ''right''.
* On ''[[Get Smart]]'', Siegfried tells the henchmen who have failed him, "It's time to put Plan B and Plan C into action." One of the mooks asks what "Plan C" is. Take a guess how Siegfried responds.
* Subverted in ''[[Farscape]]'': both [[Magnificent Bastard|Scorpius]] and [[Complete Monster|Grayza]] use non-lethal methods of punishment, though they are generally quite painful.
