A subtrope of Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique and Perp Sweating, the Gene Hunt Interrogation Technique is torture used for extracting information, in the manner of Jack Bauer, but played for laughs or audacious absurdity. When using the Gene Hunt Interrogation Technique, the interrogator isn't simply causing pain to a victim to get information - they're doing it creatively, and probably having far too much fun in the process. Most of the time, they already have the information, they just want to let off some steam while verifying it. In the Trope Namer example, it's the hero instigating this technique, but it's more likely to be in the repertoire of the Magnificent Bastard or an Anti-Hero.

Simply put, it's the difference between beating a man senseless and beating him senseless with a pool cue and stripping his clothes off, having your friends hold him down on the table, and striking the eight-ball right into his sensitive regions. It's all in the audience's reaction: "oh god, that's horrible" to "oh god, that's horrible - and kind of hilarious". Trope Namer: DCI Gene Hunt of Life On Mars and Ashes to Ashes, who seems to be on a lifelong quest to come up with the world's most imaginatively appalling ways of pissing off the Human Rights Council. May involve Interrogation by Vandalism, High Altitude Interrogation, or False Roulette. Compare Cool and Unusual Punishment, which is what happens after you're charged. See also Torture First, Ask Questions Later, for when the torturer flat-out forgets to ask anything. Examples of Gene Hunt Interrogation Technique include:
