Butt-Monkey

A butt-monkey (aka "Megward the Wizard", a term coined by TheMysteriousMrEnter; "punching bag", "torture victim", "outcast", "chew toy", or "laughing stock") is a character who is always the butt of a demeaning joke, "put them through hell" plotline, and/or the only character who endures all the slapstick inflicted onto them. For whatever reason, butt-monkeys seem to walk through life with a permanent "Kick Me" sign attached to their backs, invisible to them, but all too visible to the rest of the world. They are the polar opposite of karma houdinis. But sometimes getting bullied and abused can also lead to a trope.

Pretty much nothing ever goes right for this character, and if something bad happens, chances are it happens to them, or somebody else (as a twist shock).

To basically sum up this trope, it's a character who goes through hell, physically or mentally or both.

Keep in mind that some of them became popular because of this (e.g. Butters from South Park).

Why This Trope Sucks
Basically, this trope serves as tiresome character development, where characters you love or root for while suffering through all kinds of the pain they don't deserve when karma houdinis always get off scot-free from what they actually deserve more than these scapegoats do.
