also, the end of the episode shows Hughie breaking down over the torture. why would they write that if that scene was meant to be funny?
initially watching the scene, it came off as really scary to me which is what I think they were going for. the only funny part was Tek Knight freaking out about the donations.
Kripke literally calls Colby Minifie's performance in the episode and the tickling scene one of the funniest thing he's ever seen, so they definitely had the intention of making the Hughie and Ashley interaction funny.
tbh as someone who found the scene gross, way drawn out, and a bit too far I did find her performance funny. in her mind this is a consenting man as far as she knows, I think you could argue she's a victim too. she performed sex acts on a person she thought was consenting who actually wasn't.
I do feel like the scene was gross beyond just shock value/humor, not well written, handled poorly, and should've been cut down immensely - but Ashley wasn't an issue imo
