* Of all the franchises this has to turn up in... [[spoiler:In one of the Extra Missions for ''[[PokemonRanger Guardian Signs]]'', a berserk Arceus is tearing shit up, and [[CompleteMonster Purple]] [[MisanthropeSupreme Eyes]] attempts to appeal to it in an attempt to [[KillAllHumans wipe everything else out]]. Once the player has calmed Arceus down, it disappears to its home plane... [[LaserGuidedKarma and takes Purple Eyes with it]]. Says something about how [[PokemonDiamondAndPearl all sorts]] [[PokemonBlackAndWhite of really]] [[PokemonColosseum nasty villains]] exist throughout the Pokeverse, and ''this'' is the guy deemed unfit for the mortal plane.]]

* Second item of the [[http://www.angelfire.com/dragon3/captainjarlot/ 1001+ Things That The Worst Party In Eberron Is Forbidden From Doing]]:
-->2. Do not taunt Cardinal Krozen about his inability to capture/kill the Crew. It's not bad, just tacky.

** In TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening, the miniboss steals the dungeon's key item after [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere fleeing from a battle with Link]]. He even leaves a note in the treasure chest [[WhatAnIdiot taunting Link into finding him and battling him for said item]]. Unfortunately for the miniboss, Link is able to find all of his [[BossRoom suspiciously empty hiding spots]], no matter where he flees to. Ultimately, he runs out of "hiding spots" and battles Link [[LastStand once more-- this time to the death]]. Naturally, since the player is quite used to him by now, his ass is quickly handed to him. What's notable about this is that, since his hiding spots are so out-of-the-way, if he hadn't stolen the item, Link would probably never want kill him, and thus his [[KickTheDog unnecessary act of cruelty]] was what really forced Link to kill him FOUR times.
** In Twilight Princess if you attack a chicken while you're a wolf then you turn into a chicken.

* In {{Jumanji}} the series, any player who tries to cheat, insult, or damage the malignant game get [[BalefulPolymorph gets randomly transformed]] into an animal. Of course it only happens to Peter whether its his fault or not.

[[caption-width:350:No, seriously. Don't.]]

* Terry Pratchett's {{Discworld}} books contain the memorable summing-up of a particularly bad idea as being on a par with "standing on top of a mountain in a thunderstorm, wearing full copper plate armour, while shouting at the top of your voice "ALL GODS ARE BASTARDS"."
** Actually, Rincewind was thinking that if total chaos and destruction were lightning, then Twoflower would be the kind to do the above quote. The point stands though.
*** Actually shouting that the Gods don't exist would be a better one. The Gods REALLY hate a FlatEarthAtheist.

** Given the status of [[PhysicalGod the Q]], of course, this would seem more like Yog-Sothoth telling Cthulhu to stop taunting the PunyHumans. But for some reason, Q ''does'' seem genuinely worried...
*** Because Q fears that one day the Borg will adapt to Q's power if it is used on them repeatedly.
*** Only because thanks to Voyager being Voyager, the Q have been reduced from PhysicalGod to just another alien race the crew gets to talk down to.
*** To be fair, when Q first introduced them in the Next Generation, they did seem to top the list of Q's top ten worst abominations in the Galaxy (which at the time was exactly why he was shunting the enterprise into their path).
**** Also keep in mind that Q does NOT get along with his peers. If he pissed off the Borg and caused them to go on some sort of world-eating, race destroying rampage because they're feeling slighted, things might get...unpleasant for him.
**** It is suggested in [[StarTrekTheNextGeneration TNG]] that Guinan's race has some sort of power over Q, and the Borg assimilated most of them.

* The Atomic Bomb caused Emperor Hirohito to tell this to the military. Interestingly they accepted. It is no dishonor to surrender to Cthulhu.

** As I recall, the military top brass completely disagreed with him, and when he expressed the desire to surrender anyways, they spent around 24 hours trying to have him killed before he could make the announcement.

** Then there are the kids that killed the puppy that another girl owned in front of her [[KidsAreCruel just to hurt her]] and got exploded for their trouble.

**** It is shown that Guinan's race has some sort of power over Q, and the Borg assimilated most of them.
