* One way to tackle the large Undead Ogre in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'''s "Return to Ostagar" DLC is to have the Warden distract it, while the rest of the team tackles the very squishy Darkspawn necromancer keeping it (un)alive. It doesn't get you a badass killing animation, but it can be done with a massively underpowered party.
** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' also lends itself to MMO-like tactics in most places, most notably with Flemeth. Since she never moves away from her starting position and her tactics are set up so that she will melee characters rather than spitting fireballs if it is possible, the easiest way to kill her is to take Wynne, either Sten or Alistair, Leliana, and a mage or archer rogue Warden along, have the warrior flip Flemeth off, have Wynne heal and buff the warrior, and have Leliana and the Warden spam Flemeth with ranged attacks.
** Early in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', Hawke has repeated opportunities to be an incredible smartass toward Flemeth, confirmed in the previous game to be a HumanoidAbomination at the very least, and confirmed in this game to be capable of [[spoiler:circumventing her own death]]. Flemeth actually seems to like Hawke better when Hawke mouths off at her.
** Hawke can similarly deflate the ego of Hybris, a Pride Demon, in the middle of his [[BreakThemByTalking Breaking Speech]] over [[NiceJobBreakingItHero accidentally]] letting him loose:
--> '''Hawke''': ''(deadpan)'' Summoned a horror. Of course. Why ''wouldn't'' I do that?

* In ''VideoGame/{{Drakan}}'', Arokh was ''not'' pleased at having been awoken by Rynn, ''especially'' just to rescue her brother. Rynn, obviously not amused at having her brother spoken so poorly of, talks him down. Only then was Arokh willing to listen to what she had to say because he was legitimately impressed at how she was willing to stand up to him despite the fact that he is a dragon that could have toasted her right then and there.
* ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'': It's probably wrong to use [[spoiler:Hell itself, from which the [[TheLegionsOfHell insatiable demon hordes]] issue forth to ravage the world,]] [[MundaneUtility as a garbage disposal]], but if so, I don't want to be right.

* In ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'', there are a [[OurGodsAreDifferent wide variety of divine beings]] who've been flipped off by mortals at different points in the series or in the backstory. Most of them [[DoNotTauntCthulhu pay for it dearly]], but a few are able to get away with it. To note:
** Hermaeus Mora, the Daedric Prince of [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow Knowledge]] whose preferred form is an EldritchAbomination mass of tentacles, eyes, and claws, is a frequent recipient. To note:
*** Mora was an ArchEnemy to the old [[HornyVikings Nordic]] king [[FounderOfTheKingdom Ysgramor]]. According to Nordic legends, Ysgramor outwitted Mora regularly.
*** The [[NobleSavage Skaal]] of [[GrimUpNorth Solstheim]] consider Mora their enemy, and have managed to keep their secrets safely hidden from him. The plot of ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'''s ''Dragonborn'' DLC is revealed to be an elaborate scheme by Mora to get them.
*** In ''Skyrim'' and ''Dragonborn'', the [[PlayerCharacter Dragonborn]] has the option of flipping him off several times, even venomously referring to him as a "demon". The only time he even slightly gets back for these slights is when Dragonborn tells him that his help isn't needed to find the last word of Bend Will from his realm, to which he politely explains that you would be searching for all eternity without his aid.
** In the series' Daedric quests handed out by the Princes themselves, it is entirely possible to complete the quest in a way the Prince did not intend. Some reward you for your ingenuity, such as [[EgomaniacHunter Hircine]] rewarding you for making his quest into a TheHunterBecomesTheHunted scenario.
* ''VideoGame/FallenLondon'', ''VideoGame/SunlessSea'' and ''VideoGame/SunlessSkies'' (set in the same 'verse) will occasionally give the PlayerCharacter, or another character, the option of doing this, and will usually (for the player) be a one-ticket stop to a NonstandardGameOver.
** In both ''Sunless Sea'' and ''Sunless Skies'' the player can intentionally blaspheme against one of the gods of the Zee or the Skies, which makes their wrath fall on you and usually does bad things to you through new terror events or by killing off your crew. [[spoiler:Or, if you annoy Salt, having parts of your legacy deleted.]]
** The storyline of [[spoiler:The Presbyterate Adventuress]] in ''Sunless Seas'' ends with her provoking [[spoiler:a [[AlienSpaceBats Master of the Bazaar or one of their kind]] into a fight, which kills her]].
** In ''Sunless Skies'' you can tell off [[spoiler:The Traitor Empress/Her Restored Majesty]] to her face. The result of which is [[spoiler:nothing (except for a major Terror hit), because she considers you so far BeneathNotice that nothing you conceivably do can possibly affect her.]]
** In ''Sunless Skies'' the player can choose to mouth off to [[spoiler:The Sapphire'd King, a [[UltimateLifeform Judgement]], who will casually slay you, your locomotive and your entire crew at a glance]].
* Shadow does this in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', when [[spoiler:he pins Kefka between the components of the Warring Triad. This frees the party from Kefka's stasis spell but then they're knocked away and have to flee before the Floating Continent falls apart. If you wait until almost the last second, Shadow will catch up, unscathed from a one-on-one battle with the new god of the world]].
* At the end of ''VideoGame/GoldenSunTheLostAge'', in the cutscene prior to the final boss fight, Jenna outright sasses ''The Wise One'', a sentient PhilosophersStone with enough power to ''redirect a volcanic eruption'' and which has just been referred to as "more like a god" by another character. To its credit, The Wise One doesn't take the bait, nor does it react to Ivan complimenting Jenna on the diss. It has [[SecretTestOfCharacter more important matters]] [[PlayerPunch to attend to]].
** In ''[[VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn Dark Dawn]]'', one of your goals is to get a feather from the [[GiantFlyer Mountain Roc]] that is worshipped by the people of Morgal. You do this by ''bitchslapping it in the wattle''. Sveta, a citizen of Morgal, complains that "one does not just pluck the feathers of divinity".
* A hilarious one happens in the tutorial of ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm'', where [[VideoGame/StarCraft Jim Raynor]], just a mere human from a sci-fi background with no involvement in religious and knowledge about angel or devil, faces VideoGame/{{Diablo}}, a Devil figure and AbstractEater, who reacts accordingly when he sees a mortal:
-->'''Diablo''': How tastes your fear, mortal?
-->'''Raynor''': I wouldn't know, I'm not sure you can actually taste fear.
** Their next encounter, Diablo repeats that, pissing Raynor off and prompting him to 'school' the devil:
-->'''Diablo''': I shall feast upon your terror!
-->'''Raynor''': Oh yeah? Now, wait just a minute... Feast upon my terror? [[SuddenlyShouting Now that's twice, man, let me school you! You cannot eat 'fear' or 'terror.' They're what we call emotions!]]
-->'''Stitches''' (Diablo's ally): Mm-hmm. He right. No taste fear.
-->'''Raynor''': Y'see? Stinky here gets it!
* In ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'', Aquaman combines this with BlasphemousBoast when he makes demands of [[WarGod Ares]].
-->'''Ares''': You presume to command me?\\
'''Aquaman''': I do! And you will obey!
* In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', Auron does this a couple of times to Hades, despite that he had offered to give him a second chance at life.
--> '''Hades''': Did you forget who you're talking to?! I am the ''lord'' of the ''dead''!
--> '''Auron''': No wonder no one wants to die.
--> '''Hades''': YOU ARE FIRED!
** Not long after this, we get Team SDG escaping Cerberus. As the door closes, the three of them give one final insult through mocking faces.
* As of ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', [[PlayerCharacter Commander Shepard]] has managed to piss off the entire [[OmnicidalManiac Reaper]] [[EldritchAbomination fleet]] to the point where they're all after him/her ''personally''.
** Shepard got their attention by ''[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu killing]]'' one. And then coming BackFromTheDead after their counterattack killed them the first time. And then beating them again, in what could even be a [[NoOneGetsLeftBehind zero-casualty]] CurbStompBattle depending on [[GoldenPath player choices]].
** It gets to the point that the otherwise nearly unflappable EldritchAbomination [[spoiler:Harbinger]] [[WorthyOpponent finally acknowledges to Shepard that s/he has actually put a dent in their plans.]]
-->'''[[spoiler:Harbinger]]''': [[AC: Shepard, you have become an annoyance.]]
** Not just the Reapers, though they certainly out-Cthulhu anything else in the series. Shepard has essentially made a career out of flipping off every Cthulhu s/he comes across, which is often followed up by [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu punching them out]].
** In ''Videogame/MassEffect3'', Shepard can pull off one in the Rannoch mission.
--->'''Shepard:''' Never mind, I'll tell them ''myself''.
* Any {{M|assivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame}}MORPG you can name uses it as a game mechanic. The Tank serves as the one flipping Cthulhu off, while the DPS goes to town punching out Cthulhu, and the healer makes sure the tank is able to KEEP flipping off the big bad.
* [[PlayerCharacter You]] can do this in any version of the ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' series. Step 1: Find a monster way above your level in an urgent quest or a scripted invasion scene. Step 2: Pick up a rock or a paintball or something similar. Step 3: Throw it at the monster's face and run like hell. It doesn't usually do anything useful though. For bonus points, try using one of the taunting gestures after getting its attention with a tickling item throw.
* ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'' gives us Cassie Cage, daughter of [[DeadpanSnarker Johnny Cage]]. She's more than willing to make fun of the attire of Shinnok, Lord of [[FireAndBrimstoneHell the Netherrealm]], to his face.
--> '''Cassie Cage''': Your wife mind you wearin' her clothes?
** Of course, her dad also takes a shot at the fallen Elder God:
--> '''Johnny Cage''': Grandpa.
--> '''Shinnok''': I will rip your insolent tongue from--
--> '''Johnny Cage''': Yeah, yeah, shut up.
* At the end of ''VideoGame/PaperMario'', after Bowser [[spoiler:beefs himself up with the power of Kammy's machine ''and'' the Star Rod's invincibility]], Twink flies straight at him and bonks him in the back of the head, making him look around in confusion long enough for Mario to get his EleventhHourSuperpower.
* In ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'', one of Morte's moves is "Litany of Curses", where he sends the opponent flying into a blind rage by insulting them. When you do this to a random mook, it's funny; when you manage to make [[spoiler:a powerful witch older than the Nameless One himself]] attack you with her bare hands, it's ''awesome''.
* The entire ''point'' of the move Taunt in the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' games. ''Almost'' with the right animation, [[TheMoralSubstitute but not quite]].
* Towards the end of ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersiaTheTwoThrones'', [[spoiler:as Zurvan, the God of Time, is about to make Farah his winged queen, she asks him for a request, and as he comes closer, hoping for her [[LastKiss to kiss him once more]], she [[SpitefulSpit by spits in his face]]. His response?]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Zurvan:''' You impudent pig! I offer you life eternal, and this is how you respond? Oh, I shall enjoy changing you. [[note]]He doesn't get to do it, though, as soon as he sees the Prince arriving.[[/note]]]]
* Right before facing off a huge pirate mini-boss in ''[[Franchise/RatchetAndClank Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty]]'', you are prompted three options after his AnyLastWords. One of them is "Yeah, you're in need of a bath".
* In part of the [[AllThereInTheManual backstory]] in ''VideoGame/{{Rift}}'', [[LadyOfBlackMagic Asha Catari]] dies, and [[BigBad Regulos]] informs her that he intends to make her his avatar upon Telara. She tells him to get bent...and then, she comes BackFromTheDead.
* At the very end of the [[spoiler:Sliske's Endgame]] quest in ''VideoGame/{{Runescape}}'', you are summoned by [[spoiler:Jas, an Elder God and one of the creator's of the game's universe]]. One of the options is to insult it and call it [[spoiler:squidface]]. Needless to say, doing so [[DoNotTauntCthulhu does not end well]].
* This is a rotating job among the party members in any given ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts'' game. Probably the best is when ''Covenent's'' Anastasia interrupts Orobas to ask what he plans to do once he manages to TakeOverTheWorld. [[AndThenWhat He has no answer.]] Another awesome one is from Yuri to Neo Astaroth. What does Yuri say to the EldritchAbomination that regained its full power and is about to destroy Japan?
--> '''Yuri''': I wish you'd shove it. You know where.
--> '''Neo Astaroth''': [[ChirpingCrickets ......]]
* ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'' has this in the form of a Mazuri kid beaning Eggman with a rock when he demands the Temple of Gaia's whereabouts. While the kid couldn't have known about what happened next at the time, it kept Eggman's attention on the people rather than ''Sonic'', who was hurtling in at high velocity to take down the Egg Fighters standing between Eggman and the locals.
* In the Space Stage of ''VideoGame/{{Spore}}'', you have the option of saying "Bigfatstupidaliensayswhat?" to an empire you're at war with, and it fits this trope when the enemy in question is the [[BigBad Grox]]. Doubles as ButThouMust flip off Cthulhu because the Grox don't accept peace offerings.
* ''Videogame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'': The Sith Emperor is a complete and total OmnicidalManiac, and managed to come to Ziost and possess most of the population into a homicidal rage. The only idea that ends up working? ''Invoking'' the trope by getting him so ticked off at the PlayerCharacter that he loses concentration and sends his possessed mooks into a non-lethal trap. It's cool when a Jedi Knight (who already knocked the wind out of him once) does it, but it's ''epic'' when a puny {{Muggle|s}} Smuggler is the one flipping the proverbial bird.
** At the end of the first act of the Imperial Agent storyline, [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath with the right words]] you can successfully talk [[spoiler:Darth Jadus]] into giving up his plan to use doomsday weapons on the Empire. Everyone is absolutely speechless at how a mere spy is capable of getting [[spoiler:a Sith Lord stated to be second only to the Emperor]] to surrender without so much as firing a single shot. The Dark Council, in particular, is so impressed that [[spoiler:they have you brainwashed just for having the guts to threaten one of their own]].
** During the Shadow of Revan storyline, a Republic character regardless of class can at one point threaten Darth Marr, who is at this point the de facto leader of the Empire, by warning him not to try anything. He simply stares at you for a moment (seemingly in bemusement) before Theron awkwardly breaks the tension.
* Basically any time [[BigBad Amon]] comes to taunt [[TheHero Artanis]] in ''VideoGame/StarCraftIILegacyOfTheVoid''. Every time, Artanis's response is a variation on, "COME AT ME, BRO!" Justified, as Artanis is in TranquilFury mode throughout the entire campaign. Due to Amon's machinations, Artanis is ''pissed,'' and he's going to make sure that Amon knows it.
** If you thought Artanis was badass enough to call out Amon like that, wait until you [[spoiler: meet Tal'darim First Ascendant (later Highlord) Alarak.]] He takes it UpToEleven; whereas Artanis only delivers the flipping off as a response, Alarak '''''taunts''''' Amon ''constantly''. At one point, Alarak flat-out, directly '''''dares Amon to face him personally'''''. Justified, as Alarak was pretty angry too throughout the campaign like Artanis, but for a different reason (Artanis has a score to settle with Amon after he forces Artanis to [[spoiler: kill Zeratul]], whereas Alarak is ''furious'' when he found out that the Tal'darim won't ascend into hybrid and will instead be [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness killed off]] when Amon comes to cleanse the galaxy.
* ''VideoGame/{{Stellaris}}'': Playing as a [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy "Militarist"]] empire often gives you {{Badass Boast}}s in dialogue with other star nations. When the [[FinalBoss End Game Crisis species]] are involved, it becomes this trope:
-->''[to [[spoiler:the Unbidden]]] [[BringIt "You picked the wrong dimension to invade."]]''
* In ''Ultra VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'', [[MightyGlacier Hugo]] does this to none other than '''M. Bison'''.
-->"I do not take orders from you. Now YOU listen!"
* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'', Chester holds back the Big Bad so that Cless and Mint escape from the past.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', [[spoiler: Sans arguably [[VillainProtagonist does this to YOU]] at the end of a Genocide run. When you attack him for the first time (which he dodges, something ''literally nobody else can do'', he delivers this remark:]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Sans:'''*what? you just thought i was going to stand there and take it?]]
* Done twice in ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} III'' against Archimonde. Jaina gives him a short insult, and Thrall hits him with lightning before teleporting away.
* The BigBad of ''VideoGame/WildARMsXF'' was less than impressed when the heroes killed it. After all, AsLongAsThereIsEvil it will still live! ...so they kill it again. It revives and wonders what the heck they're doing. So they kill it again... and again. And they're just going to keep doing it. It's so in shock at this that the person it's possessing takes control long enough permanently destroy both of them in a HeroicSacrifice.
* Lara taunts Yakuza boss Takamoto in ''VideoGame/TombRaiderLegend'' during their meeting, despite him having several armed goons at his side. She keeps prodding him over a NoodleIncident that occurred between the two of them and attempts to use that as a bargaining chip to have him hand over the MacGuffin. While Takamoto does attempt to have Lara killed and then him trying to kill her himself later on, she outwits him and his men.
----
* At the end of ''VideoGame/Disgaea4APromiseUnforgotten'', Valvatorez doesn't just [[spoiler:subvert God's will by saving the Earth from divine annihilation]] - he rubs it in [[spoiler:God]]'s face afterward.
* A ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' [[GameMod mod]] called ''VideoGame/BrutalDoom'' features a near-literal example of this trope. One button is assigned a command 'offend'. Upon pressing that button the SpaceMarine [[FlippingTheBird rases the middle finger]] and yells out an [[PrecisionFStrike insult]]. It actually [[DoNotTauntCthulhu sends some demons]] into a [[UnstoppableRage berserk mode]].
* ''VideoGame/DragaliaLost'' has this happen in [[ShockAndAwe High Jupiter]]'s story in the past. During his quest to collect the Greatwyrms to fight against the Dyrenell Empire, Jupiter gave him a SadisticChoice: kill a family member, or kill 1000 strangers. Aurelius decided to TakeAThirdOption: walk right up to the giant dragon that could vaporize him into ash....and [[ArmorPiercingSlap slap]] him in the face like a spoiled child. Jupiter was so impressed by the guts it took that he signed on.
* One way to tackle the large Undead Ogre in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'''s "Return to Ostagar" DLC is to have the Warden distract it, while the rest of the team tackles the very squishy Darkspawn necromancer keeping it (un)alive. It doesn't get you a badass killing animation, but it can be done with a massively underpowered party.
** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' also lends itself to MMO-like tactics in most places, most notably with Flemeth. Since she never moves away from her starting position and her tactics are set up so that she will melee characters rather than spitting fireballs if it is possible, the easiest way to kill her is to take Wynne, either Sten or Alistair, Leliana, and a mage or archer rogue Warden along, have the warrior flip Flemeth off, have Wynne heal and buff the warrior, and have Leliana and the Warden spam Flemeth with ranged attacks.
** Early in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', Hawke has repeated opportunities to be an incredible smartass toward Flemeth, confirmed in the previous game to be a HumanoidAbomination at the very least, and confirmed in this game to be capable of [[spoiler:circumventing her own death]]. Flemeth actually seems to like Hawke better when Hawke mouths off at her.
** Hawke can similarly deflate the ego of Hybris, a Pride Demon, in the middle of his [[BreakThemByTalking Breaking Speech]] over [[NiceJobBreakingItHero accidentally]] letting him loose:
--> '''Hawke''': ''(deadpan)'' Summoned a horror. Of course. Why ''wouldn't'' I do that?
** In the ''Legacy DLC'', after releasing [[BigBad Corypheus]], an Ancient Darkspawn that [[spoiler: was originally one of the Tevinter Magisters that broke into the Golden City]] from the Grey Warden prison he's been [[SealedEvilInACan sealed in]] for a thousand years, Hawke can snark at his confusion why the Deep Roads [[WhatYearIsThis are in ruin]] and these slaves from the Imperium have the nerve to talk back to him.
--> '''Hawke''': You're a Darkspawn. Dark. Spawn. Ravaging the Deep Roads, spreading the Blight, does any of this ring a bell?
* ''VideoGame/DragonballXenoverse2'': When the PlayerCharacter inadvertently interrupts Beerus's conversation with Goku during the events of ''[[Anime/DragonballZBattleOfGods Battle of Gods]]'' while fighting the Time Breakers, the God of Destruction gets quite miffed. Mira eventually tells Beerus to shut up, leaving Beerus gobsmacked that anyone would take such a tone with him. He then decides that Mira is interesting so he'll let them have a few minutes to fight.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Drakan}}'', Arokh was ''not'' pleased at having been awoken by Rynn, ''especially'' just to rescue her brother. Rynn, obviously not amused at having her brother spoken so poorly of, talks him down. Only then was Arokh willing to listen to what she had to say because he was legitimately impressed at how she was willing to stand up to him despite the fact that he is a dragon that could have toasted her right then and there.
* ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'': It's probably wrong to use [[spoiler:Hell itself, from which the [[TheLegionsOfHell insatiable demon hordes]] issue forth to ravage the world,]] [[MundaneUtility as a garbage disposal]], but if so, I don't want to be right.
-->[-(Warning: Wiki/TVTropes takes no responsibility for any [[BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu fun]] which may ensue from attempts to replicate this. Proceed at [[strike:your own]] your dwarves' risk.)-]
* During the FinalBattle of ''VideoGame/EarthBound'', [[spoiler:Ness and his party are facing off Giygas, a CosmicHorror who has become one of the go-to examples of EldritchAbomination next to Cthulhu himself. Porky, his [[TheDragon Dragon]] who [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation may or may not have]] [[AscendedDragon defied him at this point]], not only insults him to his face, but talks about him almost as if he's a dog that he's trying to sic on somebody]]. [[OhCrap That somebody happens to be Ness and his friends.]] Keep in mind that [[spoiler:Giygas has gone ''[[AlmightyIdiot utterly mad]]'' by that point, so he is just as much a danger to Porky as he is to the party]].
* In ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'', there are a [[OurGodsAreDifferent wide variety of divine beings]] who've been flipped off by mortals at different points in the series or in the backstory. Most of them [[DoNotTauntCthulhu pay for it dearly]], but a few are able to get away with it. To note:
** Hermaeus Mora, the Daedric Prince of [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow Knowledge]] whose preferred form is an EldritchAbomination mass of tentacles, eyes, and claws, is a frequent recipient. To note:
*** Mora was an ArchEnemy to the old [[HornyVikings Nordic]] king [[FounderOfTheKingdom Ysgramor]]. According to Nordic legends, Ysgramor outwitted Mora regularly.
*** The [[NobleSavage Skaal]] of [[GrimUpNorth Solstheim]] consider Mora their enemy, and have managed to keep their secrets safely hidden from him. The plot of ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'''s ''Dragonborn'' DLC is revealed to be an elaborate scheme by Mora to get them.
*** In ''Skyrim'' and ''Dragonborn'', the [[PlayerCharacter Dragonborn]] has the option of flipping him off several times, even venomously referring to him as a "demon". The only time he even slightly gets back for these slights is when Dragonborn tells him that his help isn't needed to find the last word of Bend Will from his realm, to which he politely explains that you would be searching for all eternity without his aid.
** In the series' Daedric quests handed out by the Princes themselves, it is entirely possible to complete the quest in a way the Prince did not intend. Some reward you for your ingenuity, such as [[EgomaniacHunter Hircine]] rewarding you for making his quest into a TheHunterBecomesTheHunted scenario.
* ''VideoGame/FallenLondon'', ''VideoGame/SunlessSea'' and ''VideoGame/SunlessSkies'' (set in the same 'verse) will occasionally give the PlayerCharacter, or another character, the option of doing this, and will usually (for the player) be a one-ticket stop to a NonstandardGameOver.
** In both ''Sunless Sea'' and ''Sunless Skies'' the player can intentionally blaspheme against one of the gods of the Zee or the Skies, which makes their wrath fall on you and usually does bad things to you through new terror events or by killing off your crew. [[spoiler:Or, if you annoy Salt, having parts of your legacy deleted.]]
** The storyline of [[spoiler:The Presbyterate Adventuress]] in ''Sunless Seas'' ends with her provoking [[spoiler:a [[AlienSpaceBats Master of the Bazaar or one of their kind]] into a fight, which kills her]].
** In ''Sunless Skies'' you can tell off [[spoiler:The Traitor Empress/Her Restored Majesty]] to her face. The result of which is [[spoiler:nothing (except for a major Terror hit), because she considers you so far BeneathNotice that nothing you conceivably do can possibly affect her.]]
** In ''Sunless Skies'' the player can choose to mouth off to [[spoiler:The Sapphire'd King, a [[UltimateLifeform Judgement]], who will casually slay you, your locomotive and your entire crew at a glance]].
* Shadow does this in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', when [[spoiler:he pins Kefka between the components of the Warring Triad. This frees the party from Kefka's stasis spell but then they're knocked away and have to flee before the Floating Continent falls apart. If you wait until almost the last second, Shadow will catch up, unscathed from a one-on-one battle with the new god of the world]].
* At the end of ''VideoGame/GoldenSunTheLostAge'', in the cutscene prior to the final boss fight, Jenna outright sasses ''The Wise One'', a sentient PhilosophersStone with enough power to ''redirect a volcanic eruption'' and which has just been referred to as "more like a god" by another character. To its credit, The Wise One doesn't take the bait, nor does it react to Ivan complimenting Jenna on the diss. It has [[SecretTestOfCharacter more important matters]] [[PlayerPunch to attend to]].
** In ''[[VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn Dark Dawn]]'', one of your goals is to get a feather from the [[GiantFlyer Mountain Roc]] that is worshipped by the people of Morgal. You do this by ''bitchslapping it in the wattle''. Sveta, a citizen of Morgal, complains that "one does not just pluck the feathers of divinity".
* A hilarious one happens in the tutorial of ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm'', where [[VideoGame/StarCraft Jim Raynor]], just a mere human from a sci-fi background with no involvement in religious and knowledge about angel or devil, faces VideoGame/{{Diablo}}, a Devil figure and AbstractEater, who reacts accordingly when he sees a mortal:
-->'''Diablo''': How tastes your fear, mortal?
-->'''Raynor''': I wouldn't know, I'm not sure you can actually taste fear.
** Their next encounter, Diablo repeats that, pissing Raynor off and prompting him to 'school' the devil:

-->'''Stitches''' (Diablo's ally): Mm-hmm. He right. No taste fear.
-->'''Raynor''': Y'see? Stinky here gets it!
* In ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'', Aquaman combines this with BlasphemousBoast when he makes demands of [[WarGod Ares]].
-->'''Ares''': You presume to command me?\\
'''Aquaman''': I do! And you will obey!
* In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', Auron does this a couple of times to Hades, despite that he had offered to give him a second chance at life.
--> '''Hades''': Did you forget who you're talking to?! I am the ''lord'' of the ''dead''!
--> '''Auron''': No wonder no one wants to die.
--> '''Hades''': YOU ARE FIRED!
** Not long after this, we get Team SDG escaping Cerberus. As the door closes, the three of them give one final insult through mocking faces.
* As of ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', [[PlayerCharacter Commander Shepard]] has managed to piss off the entire [[OmnicidalManiac Reaper]] [[EldritchAbomination fleet]] to the point where they're all after him/her ''personally''.
** Shepard got their attention by ''[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu killing]]'' one. And then coming BackFromTheDead after their counterattack killed them the first time. And then beating them again, in what could even be a [[NoOneGetsLeftBehind zero-casualty]] CurbStompBattle depending on [[GoldenPath player choices]].
** It gets to the point that the otherwise nearly unflappable EldritchAbomination [[spoiler:Harbinger]] [[WorthyOpponent finally acknowledges to Shepard that s/he has actually put a dent in their plans.]]
-->'''[[spoiler:Harbinger]]''': [[AC: Shepard, you have become an annoyance.]]
** Not just the Reapers, though they certainly out-Cthulhu anything else in the series. Shepard has essentially made a career out of flipping off every Cthulhu s/he comes across, which is often followed up by [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu punching them out]].
** In ''Videogame/MassEffect3'', Shepard can pull off one in the Rannoch mission.

* ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'' gives us Cassie Cage, daughter of [[DeadpanSnarker Johnny Cage]]. She's more than willing to make fun of the attire of Shinnok, Lord of [[FireAndBrimstoneHell the Netherrealm]], to his face.
--> '''Cassie Cage''': Your wife mind you wearin' her clothes?
** Of course, her dad also takes a shot at the fallen Elder God:
--> '''Johnny Cage''': Grandpa.
--> '''Shinnok''': I will rip your insolent tongue from--
--> '''Johnny Cage''': Yeah, yeah, shut up.
* At the end of ''VideoGame/PaperMario'', after Bowser [[spoiler:beefs himself up with the power of Kammy's machine ''and'' the Star Rod's invincibility]], Twink flies straight at him and bonks him in the back of the head, making him look around in confusion long enough for Mario to get his EleventhHourSuperpower.

** If you thought Artanis was badass enough to call out Amon like that, wait until you [[spoiler: meet Tal'darim First Ascendant (later Highlord) Alarak.]] He takes it UpToEleven; whereas Artanis only delivers the flipping off as a response, Alarak '''''taunts''''' Amon ''constantly''. At one point, Alarak flat-out, directly '''''dares Amon to face him personally'''''. Justified, as Alarak was pretty angry too throughout the campaign like Artanis, but for a different reason (Artanis has a score to settle with Amon after he forces Artanis to [[spoiler: kill Zeratul]], whereas Alarak is ''furious'' when he found out that the Tal'darim won't ascend into hybrid and will instead be [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness killed off]] when Amon comes to cleanse the galaxy.
* ''VideoGame/{{Stellaris}}'': Playing as a [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy "Militarist"]] empire often gives you {{Badass Boast}}s in dialogue with other star nations. When the [[FinalBoss End Game Crisis species]] are involved, it becomes this trope:
-->''[to [[spoiler:the Unbidden]]] [[BringIt "You picked the wrong dimension to invade."]]''
* In ''Ultra VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'', [[MightyGlacier Hugo]] does this to none other than '''M. Bison'''.
-->"I do not take orders from you. Now YOU listen!"
* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'', Chester holds back the Big Bad so that Cless and Mint escape from the past.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', [[spoiler: Sans arguably [[VillainProtagonist does this to YOU]] at the end of a Genocide run. When you attack him for the first time (which he dodges, something ''literally nobody else can do'', he delivers this remark:]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Sans:'''*what? you just thought i was going to stand there and take it?]]
* Done twice in ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} III'' against Archimonde. Jaina gives him a short insult, and Thrall hits him with lightning before teleporting away.
* The BigBad of ''VideoGame/WildARMsXF'' was less than impressed when the heroes killed it. After all, AsLongAsThereIsEvil it will still live! ...so they kill it again. It revives and wonders what the heck they're doing. So they kill it again... and again. And they're just going to keep doing it. It's so in shock at this that the person it's possessing takes control long enough permanently destroy both of them in a HeroicSacrifice.
* Lara taunts Yakuza boss Takamoto in ''VideoGame/TombRaiderLegend'' during their meeting, despite him having several armed goons at his side. She keeps prodding him over a NoodleIncident that occurred between the two of them and attempts to use that as a bargaining chip to have him hand over the MacGuffin. While Takamoto does attempt to have Lara killed and then him trying to kill her himself later on, she outwits him and his men.
