Re: How do you guys feel about the butt-monkey trope?

[intrigueing]

I have a ridiculous amount of love for it. Even when it makes me wince a little or goes too far, I still get a huge kick out of it. The only times I really don't like it is when the character has gone through so much shit that it feels mean when anything else happens to them -- although there's a point where even this goes so far it comes back around into hilarity (*cough cough* points to icon *cough*), or when the butt-monkey is kind of out of his league and inept and starts hitting my second-hand embarrassment squick.

I especially like it when the butt-monkey either really really really doesn't deserve it and his misfortunes are completely unnecessary and baffling and unsolicited and just go veering into the realm of black comedy-woobification; or when the butt-monkey is a likable but really haughty or abrasive character, which just serves to kind of take the character down a peg and ensure I keep liking them, and which doesn't give me second-hand embarrassment because the character generally isn't the sensitive or self-conscious type.

Your icon illustrates this trope perfectly. Oh Peter, you never can catch a break.
