From the same twisted laws of physics that allowed people to be [[Harmless Freezing|frozen without problems]] comes harmless electrocution! Whether it's cartoon, comedy or action film, electricity just doesn't seem as damaging as other hazards; no, at worst you'll fall over with a [[Non Sequitur Thud]] and be left with soot all over your clothes and face, and your hair all messed up. Despite briefly conducting enough juice to [[X-Ray Sparks|make your skeleton visible through your skin]], there'll be no lasting damage, even from the most traumatic [[Electric Torture]].

'''[[You Keep Using That Word|Fun Fact]]:''' The strict definition of [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/electrocution electrocution] is "to ''kill'' by electricity."<ref>Making the title of this trope an oxymoron.</ref> [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/electrification Electrification], on the other hand, means "to charge with or subject to electricity."
