Basic Trope: Being launched into the air as a direct effect of injury.
  • Straight: Bobby goes flying into the air after a dart hits him in the butt.
  • Exaggerated:
    • Bobby goes flying to the moon (literally) after a dart hits his butt.
    • Bobby flies to the edge of the universe... because he got a dart to the butt.
  • Justified: Bobby has a condition that makes him hypersensitive in certain spots, causing him to jolt extremely violently when touched there.
  • Inverted: Squashed Flat, regardless of whether it's played straight, exaggerated or downplayed.
  • Subverted: Bobby gets hit in the butt with a dart. Nothing happens.
  • Double Subverted: The second one sends him flying.
  • Parodied: ???
  • Enforced: Rule of Funny.
  • Implied: Alice talks about how high Bobby jumped after a dart hit his butt.
  • Downplayed: Bobby jumps in pain after getting a dart to the butt.
  • Played for Comedy: Bobby flies into the air, making a hilarious noise in the process, before falling face-first into the floor. Cue laugh track.
  • Lampshaded: "I don't like the fact I fly so high when something hits my butt."
  • Invoked: Bobby catches the dart, but decides to poke himself in the butt just to go flying.
  • Defied: Bobby catches the dart.
  • Exploited: Frank lands a hit to Bobby's butt, giving Bobby enough momentum to get an absolute overkill of a blow back on Frank.

The worst part of a Pain-Powered Leap is the land- AAAUUUUUUGH!
