History Main / StopPokingMe

** Of course, perhaps the most epic is clicking on a Scottish unit you're hostile to. "AH'LL REEP OFF YER HEDD AND SPIT DOON YER NECK." Or, slightly less awesome: "I gotta ''claymore'' here for ye Jimmy..."

* ''{{Disgaea 3}}'' - You can occasional find friendly NPCs in Item World who will sell you stuff or raise the stats of your items. You have the option of talking to them until they get annoyed and attack you, at which point you can kill them for even bigger boosts.

*** Referenced in StarCraftBroodWar, with Artanis's "Stop poking me! What do I look like, an orc?"

*** Strangely, most WoW [=NPCs=] with Unique voices do ''not'' have comical phrases when clicked on repeatedly. Even characters who pulled their voice clips from previous games (Jaina, and previously Slyvanas) don't have them.

* Similarlyl, if you call Mei Ling in ''MetalGearSolid'' too many times without saving, she gets annoyed and sticks her tongue out at you.

* Characters in ''DragonAge have stop poking me lines if you select/unselect them too many times in the party selection screen. Shale says the trope namer line.

* In the first''{{Discworld}}'' computer game, examining Rincewind too many times causes him to temporarily steal the mouse cursor.

* In one of the ''{{Discworld}}'' computer games, examining the main character too many times causes him to temporarily steal the mouse cursor.

** Xzar, who's like, crazy awesome, actually at one point says "STOP ''POKING'' MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!" and this Troper thinks he's either the Trope Namer or a pretty damn good shout out seeing as it's the first time he's heard that quite literally.
** It's a ShoutOut. The first ''{{Warcraft}}'' game had the orc units doing it about ten years before ''BaldursGate''.

* Disgaea3 - You can occasional find friendly NPCs in Item World who will sell you stuff or raise the stats of your items. You have the option of talking to them until they get annoyed and attack you, at which point you can kill them for even bigger boosts.

*** Strangely, most ''WoW'' [=NPCs=] with Unique voices do ''not'' have comical phrases when clicked on repeatedly. Even characters who pulled their voice clips from previous games (Jaina, and previously Slyvanas) don't have them.

* BlizzardEntertainment, after [[TropeMaker inventing this]], raised it to an art form. ''{{Starcraft}}'' and all ''{{Warcraft}}'' games have characters getting angry, doing comedy routines, or just providing additional insight into their characters.
** In ''Starcraft'', this is lampshaded by Artanis.
---> '''Artanis:''' "Explain this odd behavior." "Stop poking me!" "What do I look like, an Orc?" "This is not Warcraft [[RecycledInSpace in space]]!" "It's much more sophisticated!" [[HilariousInHindsight "I know it's not 3D!"]]
*** I will have you know they went to great lengths to make it so that it wasn't Warcraft in space
*** Protoss Observers (spy satellites, basically) in ''Starcraft'' start intercepting StopPokingMe quotes from other Blizzard games if you keep clicking on them, including the original "Stop poking meeeee!" from Warcraft: Orcs and Humans.
--->'''Observer:'''"That's one small step for man, one giant - STOP POKING ME!"
*** Many Terran and Protoss units reply with pop-culture references, including ''{{Aliens}}'', ''{{Robocop}}'' and ''YoungFrankenstein''.
*** Zerg units don't actually say anything; but repeatedly clicking them does result in a bunch of new noises.
*** Including an absolutely NightmareFuel laugh from the Lurker.
** Repeatedly clicking harmless critters in ''Warcraft'' 2 and 3 or ''Starcraft'' causes them to explode.
*** Lampshaded in World of Warcraft, where an undead Apotechary in the Undercity can be found repeatedly poking a captive sheep till it explodes.
** ''{{Warcraft}} 3'' had this elaborate joke on the phrase "Darkness Calls" using different characters' annoyed speeches:
--->'''Demon Hunter:''' Darkness called... But I was on the phone, so I missed him. I tried to *69-Darkness, but his machine picked up. I yelled "Pick up the phone, Darkness!," but he ignored me. Darkness must have been screening his calls.
--->'''Dreadlord:''' ''(phone rings)'' Yes? Darkness, hey, what's up? The Demon Hunter left you a message? No I don't have his number.
--->'''Tichondrius:''' Darkness... needs to get DSL. His line is always busy.
--->'''Arthas:''' Who is this...Darkness anyway?
** The acolyte had a pretty good one:
--->'''Acolyte:''' [[StarWars Once you start down the dark path, forever shall it dominate your destiny!]] [[SignedUpForTheDental Plus you get dental]].
--->'''Acolyte:''' All I see is blackness! ...oh, my hood is down.
--->'''Acolyte:''' [[{{Starcraft}} My life for Aiur...]] err, I mean Ner'zhul!
** A few more funny ones:
--->'''Shade (Undead spy unit)''' I ain't got no boooooody!
--->'''Crypt Fiend''' Last week my top half was on TheDiscoveryChannel. *click again* And my bottom half was on AnimalPlanet.
--->'''Night Elf Archer''' I said a BOW-string, not a [[ThongOfShielding G-str]]... never mind.
--->'''Priest (Human Caster)''' I have been chosen... by the giant metal hand in the sky!
** And then the naga myrmidon (basically an evil merman):
--->'''Naga:''' In the depths, [[{{Alien}} no one can hear you scream]]...well, they can, it's just really muffled.
** Of course we can't forget why the BLOOD Elves are called that:
--->'''Kael'thas:''' "My blood cries out for the vengeance of my people's blood, which can only be repaid with at least twice as much blood! Or maybe three times as much blood! Like if you went to hell, and it was full of blood, and that blood was on fire, and it was raining blood, then maybe that would be enough blood! Eh… but probably not."
** And then there's the Pit Lord's [[http://www.wowwiki.com/Quotes_of_Warcraft_III/Neutral_Heroes#Pit_Lord "Jaina In The Morning"]] skit.
*** Or the Troll Witch Doctor's "[[IronChef Iron Troll]]" one.
** I'M A DREADLORD, NOT A DRUGLORD

*** Illidans line in Frozen Throne [[LampshadeHanging lampshades excessive use of heroes:]]
----> '''Illidan''': Hoof, horns, wings, what do we say, is this {{Diablo}}?
** ''WorldOfWarcraft'' has this in full effect.
*** Strangely, most [=NPCs=] with Unique voices do ''not'' have comical phrases when clicked on repeatedly. Even characters who pulled their voice clips from previous games (Jaina, and previously Slyvanas) don't have them.

* In DawnOfWar, the Orks only respond in this. There are varying degrees, from tacitly reminding you just how big and strong they are, shouting out "Wot do you wan?" as far as "Sod off!"
** "Move over 'ere. Move over there. Make up ya moind!" "Why'z YOU givin' the orders?" "Up yours!"
