History PlayingWith / TheLawOfDiminishingDefensiveEffort

** Bob is occasionally mistaken about which attacks can overcome his invulnerability.

** When the enemies start attacking, Bob sits down and calmly has a SpotOfTea as their attacks strike him to no effect.

* '''Justified''': Bob knows what can and can't hurt him, so by ignoring attacks that aren't threats to his well-being he can maintain his focus on the bigger situation and look out for things that would harm him.

* '''Downplayed''': ???

** Evulz develops explosive bullets small enough to look like normal bullets, but powerful enough to tear apart even Bob. He know Bob won't bother to dodge a 'puny' bullet, and will instead get hit in the face with an explosive payload.

%%* '''Implied''': ???

* '''Invoked''': [[NewMeat Dave]] has newly acquired Bob's NighInvulnerability. On their first mission together, Bob tells him not to worry about the {{Mooks}}' normal attacks.

** Evulz develop explosive bullets small enough to look like normal bullets, but powerful enough to tear apart even Bob. He know Bob won't bother to dodge a 'puny' bullet, and will instead get hit in the face with an explosive payload.
** Evulz has his troops use FiveRoundsRapid as a first-response tactics, and from that decides weather a foe warrants more ordinance or not.

* '''Parodied''': When the enemies start attacking, Bob sits down and calmly has a SpotOfTea as their attacks strike him to no effect.
** Bob recognises this trope is in effect, and thus paints a [[Mooning target circle on his ass and then moons the mooks.]] Somehow, it still works.

* '''Exploited''': Evulz develop explosive bullets small enough to look like normal bullets, but powerful enough to tear apart even Bob. He know Bob won't bother to dodge a 'puny' bullet, and will instead get hit in the face with an explosive payload.

%%* '''Implied''': ???

* '''Exploited''': ???

** Bob one-ups them in the IKnowYouKnowIKnow department by dodging harmless attacks, giving the enemy false information which he then uses to his advantage when the time comes.

%%* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': ???

* '''Inverted''': Bob desperately defends himself against the harmless bullet, but relaxes when a missile is aimed at him

* '''Deconstructed''': The enemy throws a bunch of different kinds of weapons at Bob, and by observing which ones he does react from they can infer what kinds of weapons will harm him, thus eventually using those particular weapons against him.
* '''Reconstructed''': Bob one-ups them in the IKnowYouKnowIKnow department by dodging harmless attacks, giving the enemy false information which he then uses to his advantage when the time comes.

* '''Straight''': Bob is ImmuneToBullets. When the {{Mooks}} shoot him with normal guns, he walks right through the gunfire. When the GiantMook takes out an anti-tank missile launcher, he has to avoid it.
* '''Exaggerated''': Bob laughs off an anti-tank MacrossMissileMassacre, but desperately finds a bunker when TheDragon calls in a tactical nuke.

* '''Subverted''': The bullets can't hurt Bob, but they can stagger and stun him long enough for the mooks to retreat or get better firepower.
* '''Double Subverted''': Which he still laughs off, until the GiantMook takes out an anti-tank missile launcher, that is.
* '''Parodied''': When the enemies start attacking, Bob sits down and calmly has a SpotOfTea as their attacks strike him to no effect.
* '''Deconstructed''': The enemy throws a bunch of different kinds of weapons at Bob, and by observing which ones he does react from they can infer what kinds of weapons will harm him, thus eventually using those particular weapons against him.
* '''Reconstructed''': Bob one-ups them in the IKnowYouKnowIKnow department by dodging harmless attacks, giving the enemy false information which he then uses to his advantage when the time comes.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob sometimes defends and evades and sometimes does not; there is no way to tell from his behavior whether an attack will be effective against him.

* '''Lampshaded''': "Y'know, he isn't even trying to defend himse- op, here comes [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Missile Mike]]. ''Now'' he's runnin'"

* '''Defied''': Attacks that can't kill Bob still ''hurt'', so he wants to avoid them all.
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
* '''Played For Drama''': We see the MookHorrorShow as the Mooks desperately keep on ShootingSuperman, knowing that they have to keep Bob busy even if they cannot actually hurt him. When the attack that can actually hurt Bob comes into play, the Mooks are rallied.
* '''Played For Laughs''': Bob survives an escalation of firepower without even flinching, until he gets to the final item -- which is patently ridiculous, such as a feather duster.
