History BerserkButton / WesternAnimation

--->'''Zoidberg:''' ''*slams claw on table*'' YOU DO AND I'LL ''*bleep*''ING GUT YOU LIKE A ''FISH!''

* ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'': In one episode, we learn that Characters/RocketRaccoon does NOT like being called a "mascot".
-->'''Hawkeye:''' I see you're still traveling with the talking pencil and the furry mascot.\\
'''Rocket:''' (''jumps onto Hawkeye's chest, grabs him by the throat, and shoves a gun into his nose'') Call me "mascot" one more time. ''Please.''
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': Even if she's doing it to [[KissOfDeath end you]], don't spit after Poison Ivy kisses you. Earned Batman a hard stare in her [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE5PrettyPoison debut episode]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderman'':
** [[ThatManIsDead "Don't call me Max!]] The name is Electro! ELECTRO, I TELL YOU!"
** Let's just say that Doc Ock [[LargeHam doesn't appreciate witty banter.]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'', Spidey quickly picks up on and exploits Scorpion's dislike of being insulted and called names to break his focus. Scorpion does get slightly better with this by later seasons, though [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas making fun of his mother]] still proves a surefire method of riling him up.

* In ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', [[Characters/NewGodsDarkseid Darkseid]] existing is a BerserkButton for Superman. Darkseid is the only villain that Superman is fully prepared to kill (well there's Mongul too, but a lot of passion was involved with that). Given how monstrous many villains in the DCAU are, the fact that Darkseid in general is a Berserk Button for Superman, and the only villain he wants to kill, is quite impressive on his part. In the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' episode "Twilight (of the Gods)," Superman goes into a blind range and beats up Darkseid ''just for showing his face''.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'':
** Raven: "No one should ''ever'' go into my room."
** Robin does not like being compared to Slade. [[UnstoppableRage At all.]] (Most noticeable in the Apprentice episodes, he manages to get over it but it's still a sensitive issue for him.) However, this is partially true, since he's as obsessive as Slade. Deep down Robin does realize this, but doesn't want it to be pointed out. This may be why he's so obsessive with Slade, as he made him something he doesn't want to be and is always many steps ahead of Robin.
** Starfire hates being pranked.
--->'''Starfire:''' On my planet, we have a name for those who do such terrible things, you are a... a.. ''[head expands]'' CLORBAG Varblenilk!
*** [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Don't flirt with Robin in her presence]].

* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'':
** [[TroubledButCute Superboy]] will flip out when anyone mocks his lack of acceptance from Superman.
** Due to [[TemporalParadox the time traveling shenanigans]], Bart Allen lives with his 30-something grandparents Iris and Barry and his toddler father and aunt. Iris wants him to call her by her first name but he insists on calling her "Grandma". He also calls the kids "Dad" and "Aunt Dawn" to her dismay because she doesn't want to confuse them.

** Touch Eva's UsefulNotes/MP3 player or speak ill of her name, and you're as good as dead.

** Also, don't put on the mayor's hat.

** WesternAnimation/PorkyPig does not tolerate cowardly behavior. Just ask Sylvester.

*** Sonic himself in general. His {{catchphrase}} sums it up best.

** '''Don't''' call the Crusher (or the Neanderthal-shaped headed man, as Daffy calls him) stupid. Don't ruin his kid's sand castle either, even if it's by accident; Sylvester had to learn this the hard way.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'':

--->'''Zoidberg:''' ''*slams claw on table*'' YOU DO AND I'LL [[CensorBleep *bleep*]]ING GUT YOU LIKE A ''FISH!''

** Speak ill of ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' in the presence of Chris and he will likely scream at you and storm out of the room. Note that there are very few things capable of actively making Chris angry.
*** Surprisingly, Creator/SethGreen (who played Chris in ''Family Guy'') had co-created and starred in ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'', so it's no big surprise that he is making fun of his OWN show.

* ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'': In one episode, we learn that [[ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Rocket Raccoon]] does NOT like being called a "mascot".

** ''{{WesternAnimation/Hercules}}'':
** In the series episode that's a crossover with ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'', being called "Jerkules" seems to function as this for Hercules. "[[NeverHeardThatOneBefore Everyone thinks they're so funny when they call me that, but it's]] [[PunctuatedPounding Not! That! Funny!]]" Well, he was called "Jerkules" by bullies in [[{{WesternAnimation/Hercules}} the original film]] (presumably a lot), so it's not surprising that it pisses him off. It may also be the fact that they thought they made it up, unaware everyone else also called him that. He also won't be happy if you touch [[BigBrotherInstinct Icarus]], and when a super-powered half-Olympian ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. He also didn't like it when Phil accuses Meg of being "two-timing, lying, scheming" and that she doesn't love Hercules. He learned Phil was right, but also Meg was unwilling to work for Hades anymore.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'':

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'':

* In ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', {{ComicBook/Darkseid}} existing is a BerserkButton for Superman. Darkseid is the only villain that Superman is fully prepared to kill (well there's Mongul too, but a lot of passion was involved with that). Given how monstrous many villains in the DCAU are, the fact that Darkseid in general is a Berserk Button for Superman, and the only villain he wants to kill, is quite impressive on his part. In the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' episode "Twilight (of the Gods)," Superman goes into a blind range and beats up Darkseid ''just for showing his face''.
