History BerserkButton / LiveActionTv

* ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'':
** Never [[DoNotCallMePaul refer to Agent May as "The Cavalry"]].
** Calling [[spoiler:Daisy Johnson]] Skye, the name she chose for herself without knowing her birth name, will result in Cal angrily screaming, "That's not her name!" Later, however, after her birth name is revealed, Coulson refers to her as [[spoiler:Daisy]] in conversation with Cal in an attempt to placate him, only for Cal to scream at him for that and rail about how she's [[spoiler:Daisy]] to ''him'', but not to anyone else. [[MortonsFork Coulson doesn't know what to do with this.]]

* ''Series/{{Gotham}}'':
** Because Harvey Bullock is on the take does not mean he's a bad cop, as he reminds Montoya and Allen early on.
** Playing Salvatore Maroni for a chump is a bad idea.
** At first, Oswald Cobblepot reacts violently to being called a penguin or compared to one... until, that is, Maroni convinces him to embrace his once-hurtful nickname.
* ''Series/GothamKnights2023'': Harper, who was abused by her dad, jumps out and angrily tells off Stephanie's mother for slapping her the moment she sees it.

* ''Series/LegendsOfTheSuperheroes'': "The Roast" has a bit where Ed [=McMahon=] riles up Solomon Grundy whenever he mentions the swamp or anything related to it. Even an attempt to talk about beaches sets Grundy off because of beaches being near water and water being found in swamps.
-->'''Solomon Grundy''': Grundy hate swamp!

* ''Series/Lucifer2016'':
** Daniel loves puddings. He loves them so much that he keeps stacks of them in the precinct fridge and labels them with his name so that other people won't touch them. He becomes so upset when he realises someone is stealing all his puddings that Chloe sarcastically asks him if she should put some unis on the case and arrange for him to receive counselling.
** On a serious note, blaming Lucifer for humanity's evil is a sure way to get him legitimately angered. He also doesn't like being compared to God or called by his former name, Samael (in the comics, Lucifer still answers to the name Samael, but objects to being called the "Lightbringer"). And please do not [[spoiler:lay hands on his father or try to kill him]].
* ''Series/LukeCage2016'':
** Cornell Stokes hates being called [[EmbarrassingNickname "Cottonmouth"]]. Woe behold anyone who uses that name within earshot of him.
--->'''Shades:''' I suggested we wait [before shooting up Pop's barbershop].\\
'''Tone:''' Wait? Wait for ''what'', Shades? You ain't even down with the clique! You can't give orders. It was loud 'cause it's supposed to be! Niggas need to know you don't rob Cottonmouth-\\
'''Cottonmouth:''' ''[gets in Tone's face]'' MY NAME IS NOT COTTONMOUTH!!\\
''[Tone, who up until this moment had been very self-assured, shakes with fear]''\\
'''Tone:''' ''[stammering]'' My--my bad. My bad!
** Don't call Mariah Dillard "[[EmbarrassingNickname Black Mariah]]" to her face either. You know she's changed for the worst in Season 2 when she embraces her villainy and doesn't so much as flinch when Luke addresses her that way.
** Bushmaster is very insistent on correcting people who refer to Mariah with her married name with a rather forceful "STOKES. Mariah Stokes."

* ''Series/WandaVision'': Don't question Wanda's false reality. She could always rewind time... ''if your name is [[MoralityChain Vision]].'' If you aren't Vision, you could choke and almost die, have glass break in your hand to make you bleed, or even ''expel you from her reality'' to make sure everything's fine. She's got some ''major'' mental issues. Mentioning Ultron by name had a similar reaction on her.

*** Scotty has a very logical Berserk Button for a chief engineer. Insult TheFederation? Fine. Insult Captain Kirk? Fine. Insult ''him''? Fine. Insult the ''Enterprise'' and compare it to a garbage scow (like the Klingon officer does in "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E15TheTroubleWithTribbles The Trouble with Tribbles]]")? Prepare for a BarBrawl.

* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': Mentioning God, Jesus or Christianity in general is a ''major'' one for Lestat, who's a HollywoodAtheist with a grudge against his raised religion. When Paul brings it up, Lestat drops his manners and gets genuinely angry, and he later becomes furious at Louis for trying to seek salvation through his faith. Lestat's response is to burn the pews at St. Augustine Church and murder the two priests present in grisly fashion.

** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E2ToothAndClaw "Tooth and Claw"]]:
*** Father Angelo [[DeadlyEuphemism finds out the hard way]] that Queen Victoria does not appreciate being condescended to.

** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E6TheVampiresOfVenice "The Vampires of Venice"]]: [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas Francesco]] does not take insults to his mother well.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E7AmysChoice "Amy's Choice"]]: Upper Leadworth Amy, who is heavily pregnant, does not take comments to her size well, especially since the Doctor and Rory can't seem to stop making them.

** On a serious note, blaming Lucifer for humanity's evil is a sure way to get him legitimately angered. He also doesn't like being compared to God or called by his former name, Samael (in the comics, Lucifer still answers to the name Samael, but objects to being called the "Lightbringer").

** In Season 5 when [[spoiler:God comes down to earth]], Lucifer goes full Devil on a bunch of drug dealers when [[spoiler:one of them hits God]]. Despite the rather acrimonious relationship between the two, Lucifer will not stand for anyone [[spoiler:threatening his father]].
