Basic Trope: Someone is unharmed after being electrocuted.
- Straight: Alice is shocked with electricity, and aside from having some frizzy hair and being a little dazed afterwards, she's fine.
- Exaggerated: Alice is shocked with so much electricity that realistically would have fried her to a crisp. She suffers no ill effects, though.
- Downplayed: Alice passes out after being electrocuted and/or has some mild burns, but she's otherwise okay.
- Justified:
- Alice is practically indestructible as it is.
- Alice is a being that's made out of material that cannot conduct electricity.
- Alice is a Ridiculously Human Robot that could definitely use the charge up.
- Alice has Shock and Awe powers, and her being unhurt be electricity is simply part of her Required Secondary Powers.
- Inverted: Alice gets a static shock, and the weakest kind of static shock at that. She swiftly turns to ashes.
- Subverted: Alice seems unharmed after being shocked with electricity, but it's later revealed that she has serious internal injuries.
- Double Subverted: She shrugs those off, too.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted:
- No one is electrocuted.
- Alice is electrocuted and it realistically affects her.
- Enforced:
- Alice's electrocution is played for Amusing Injuries, and actually having her be seriously injured wouldn't make it amusing.
- The creators are trying to keep the violence family-friendly.
- Lampshaded: "Hey. I'm alright!"
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: Someone has to do a task that would run a risk of themselves getting electrocuted (e.g. going out in a thunderstorm), so they pick Alice, knowing that if she gets electrocuted it won't hurt her too badly.
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: "What does it feel like to be electrocuted?" "Probably stings a little."
- Conversed: "In real life, Alice would've suffered more than frizzy hair and being temporarily dazed."
