Basic Trope: Surprisingly disturbing violence for a family-friendly work.

  • Straight: "The Adventures of Alice and Bob", a kids' show, features a scene in which the titular characters are fighting with guns, and Alice accidentally shoots Bob, causing him to bleed.
  • Exaggerated:
  • Downplayed: "The Adventures of Alice and Bob" is a work aimed at older children that features someone bleeding from an injury in one scene.
  • Justified: ???
  • Inverted: Despite being rated TV-MA and featuring large amounts of graphic violence, there's a scene in "The Adventures of Alice and Bob" where someone suffers Amusing Injuries.
  • Subverted: Although it seems like Bob is bleeding, he actually just fell in some red berries.
  • Double Subverted: Then Alice accidentally shoots him, and the result is not pretty.
  • Parodied: "The Adventures of Alice and Bob", a kids' show, features a scene where Bob's family gets brutally beat up by some unfriendly violins.
  • Zig-Zagged: Some episodes of "The Adventures of Alice and Bob" feature Amusing Injuries, while others use more realistic gunplay and blood.
  • Averted:
    • It's an adult series as it is.
    • There is no violence.
    • All violence is kept family-friendly.
  • Enforced: The writers felt that Scare 'Em Straight was the only way to get the point across of not playing with a gun, without the risk of kids trying to repeat it.
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: ???
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
