[[folder: Fan Works]]

* Zekka from ''Manga/{{Gunnm}}'' is a pretty good-natured and affable guy. Just don't get on his bad side. [[LawOfDisproportionateResponse AND DO NOT TOUCH ZEKKA'S BIKE]]. Bad things will happen. Sechs learns this the hard way.

* PersonOfMassDestruction: For characters who are at risk for becoming a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds.

** His father, Goku, is almost as bad, especially when he was kid. He is fun loving, goofy, and playful even when he's fighting. When upset or angry, he tends to go on killing rages as a kid, something the Red Ribbon Army and King Piccolo found out. Frieza also learns what happen when Goku is angry and [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge it]] [[TranquilFury isn't]] [[SuperMode pretty.]]
** Piccolo is a [[TheStoic stoic]] most of the time. However, hurt, threatened to hurt, or, god forbid, kill Gohan and you really won't like him as he slice you in two as Babidi learned.

** [[MirrorUniverse Universe 6]]'s Kale is [[ExtremeDoormat meek]], but also a very [[ClingyJealousGirl emotional]], reluntant Saiyan girl who hates to disappoint her [[BigSisterMentor mentor]]/[[JapaneseDelinquent gang leader]], Caulifla. If she ever feels as if her relationship with Caulifla is threatened, or becomes consumed by her own self-hatred, she [[HulkingOut becomes]] her universe's [[DistaffCounterpart equivalent]] of Broly. She does [[CharacterDevelopment get better]] in control this aspect about her.

** [[PersonOfMassDestruction Whitebeard]] is a much straighter example. He might be jovial with conducting with fellow rival pirates and Marines, [[PapaWolf but]] you dare to nab/[[spoiler:kill]] ANY of his crew, you'll be at best hoping he and you never come face to face, or at worst, [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge you won't even have]] [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown any time to make]] [[TranquilFury yourself a makeshift tombstone.]] [[spoiler:Akainu found it the... ehm easier way.]]
* Setsuna, from ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'', is a quiet and polite girl who prefers to stay in the background. Usually, she's really calm and composed even in the heat of battle. But don't, just don't you dare harming [[LesYay Konoka]] unless you want her to butcher you in split-seconds.

* In ''Manga/FullMetalAlchemist'', Roy Mustang, who is Colonel of the Central army, is quite a ladykiller, TheDitz and sometimes very weird. But.... if you hurt a hair of his subordinates, well... there is a reason he's called the Hero of Ishval.

* Any of the Inner Senshi from ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' can be dangerous when pushed, especially Minako Aino/Sailor Venus, the petite, light-hearted jokester who acts like a ditz. When Tiger's Eye and Hawk's Eye rightly accused Mina of two-timing them and subjected her to a MindRape that caused most victims to faint from exhaustion and agony (including other Senshi), she not only managed to stay conscious, she got angry enough to tear herself out of metal binds, transformed, and sent them running for their lives with an rage-fueled attack. In the manga, when she saw [[{{Protectorate}} Sailor Moon]] being strangled by Queen Beryl's hair, she gave Beryl a DeathGlare, and ran her through with a poison-infused {{BFS}} that is tougher than diamond.

** Bruce Banner is the original Hulk, and uses this line to warn people of his HulkingOut ability. [[TemptingFate It doesn't always work.]]
** You don't want to piss his cousin ComicBook/SheHulk off, either. Once ComicBook/{{Thanos}} orchestrated a situation where his brother was held for trial, and sent his clone with modified memories to convince everybody it was he who made Thanos fall in love with Death, thus making him responsible for all of Thanos's crimes. She-Hulk traveled into the clone's mind to discover it was a lie and that he did all of it not because of revenge, but for pure entertainment. It didn't go well for the clone.

* ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'' character Kara is a nice, kind, compassionate girl. She is also HotBlooded, short-tempered, brash and has little patience for fools and jerks. ''God helps you'' if you piss her off -- which ''will'' happen if you hurt her family. In ''Comicbook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'' she flew off the handle and became a Red Lantern, and an onlooker said a Kryptonian wearing a Red Lantern Ring "is an extinction level threat".

** Peter Parker is normally nice, friendly, and the worst he'll do is embarrass you a little. But heaven help you if you've hurt someone he loves. You'll need it. The way you can tell that Spidey is really angry is when he ''[[TranquilFury stops talking]]''. One short story has a romantic couple lost on the streets of New York and attacked by a gang. Spider-man shows up midway through, swatting the guys away, making quips, then sees the man being held hostage with a knife to his throat. Spidey gets real serious, and gives the hostage taker ''one chance'' to drop the knife, or the hostage taker will not be going to be walking out of that alley. The hostage taker wisely drops the knife, and true to his word, Spidey goes easy on him.
** The criminal underworld is well aware, and this works to Spidey's advantage at times, even when he doesn't intend it. Once, he comes upon the Headmen who are up to trouble, and hangs quietly from the ceiling -- the lack of wisecracks makes the Headmen freak out and ''immediately'' surrender in fear. When the cops show up, we learn why Spidey has been so quiet -- he has laryngitis and lost his voice.

** Thor is a generally even-tempered and friendly cool dad-type... until he's pushed over the line and reminds people that he's also a 1500 year old warrior god who could quite conceivably shatter the planet and at one point snaps into an UnstoppableRage and beats the Juggernaut to a pulp with his bare hands (and nearly destroyed the Eastern Seaboard as a side-effect).

* Chapter 2 of [[WesternAnimation/CelebrityDeathmatch Celebrity Deathmatch]] Fic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/21447313/chapters/51126568 Final Stand of Death]]'' has Spur ([[spoiler:Emma]]) erupt into a violent rampage when Music/Blink182 started to taunt her with chainsaw nosies. Redd ([[spoiler:Music/MelanieC]]) runs to the area and saw the aftermath, while the rest of Fusion Gundam ([[spoiler:Music/SpiceGirls]]) arrived. It was clear one of the simplest rules when it comes to Spur ([[spoiler:Emma]]), Don't get her angry!

* The 2008 ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'' film. Bruce Banner attempts to say his catchphrase in Portugese, but he accidentally says "hungry" instead of "angry" and proceeds to fight as normal. In the novelization, he says it to two college girls who just laugh at him, since the phrase is full of {{Narm}}. However, the film did also have a variation on the phrase which was pretty good.

* ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' has an interesting subversion. Tony and Bruce have an entire subplot that consists of Tony trying to convince Bruce that being the Hulk is a "terrible privilege" rather than a curse. Bruce disagrees, and keeps insisting that he doesn't want to Hulk out, not even to help the Avengers fight Loki, because he can't control it. The end of their scene in the laboratory features what could be interpreted as a loose variation of the original line.

** Harry Dresden. Most of the time, as [[BadassNormal Karrin]] [[WillTheyOrWontThey Murphy]] notes, he's basically an oversized nerd who hunches slightly, speaks softly and never meets anyone's gaze, as if apologising for his size (and, in the latter case, looking to avoid a Soulgaze), who cracks terrible jokes and does odd things. Then, someone makes the mistake of harming an innocent, someone under his protection, or, worst of all, someone he loves. After that, he opens his body up to his full height (nearly seven feet, and he isn't exactly stick thin either...) and thunders spells in a voice that can be heard 'from the other end of a football field' as he turns the fundamental powers of the universe into his personal plaything and unleashes them on whoever's pissed him off. It's a sight that is described as intimidating on an evolutionary scale, and usually results in a trail of destruction featuring any number of dead monsters, some [[PhysicalGod godlike in their powers]] and usually at least [[DestructiveSaviour one burning building.]] And if you've taken [[spoiler: his daughter]], he will find you and he will [[spoiler: commit genocide]]. You can pray to God, but he won't help you - [[CelestialParagonsAndArchangels his]] [[ChurchMilitant agents]] are more than likely to be backing Dresden up.

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': Rage is ultimately the source of Tywin's ruthlessness. With both the Red Wedding, and the rebellion of House Reyne, he has proven that anyone who even considers attacking or resisting him will be terminated with extreme prejudice. When one considers how his father's kindness and benevolence was abused and mocked while Tywin himself grew up this makes some sense.

** You ''really'' don't want to piss off the Doctor. That seemingly harmless oddball can tear the heavens apart and reshape reality if he really wants to. There's a ''reason'' the Daleks, a race of {{Omnicidal Maniac}}s capable of wiping out all life in the universe, hate and fear him so much. They have no emotions, and they invented a number of names to call him by: the Destroyer of Worlds, the Bringer of Darkness, the Oncoming Storm and the Predator.

** Most of the time Q is a jovial TricksterGod who, while he messes with the crew of the ''Enterprise'', never really means to cause permanent harm. However, the one time Captain Picard mocked Q's offer of help in dealing with the unknown dangers of the galaxy and displayed unmitigated arrogance about the Federation's readiness, Q proceeded to throw the ''Enterprise'' seven thousand light years away from home and into the path of [[TheDreaded the Borg.]] For the remainder of the episode Q reminds the crew and the audience that he is essentially an old god who values the lives of the ''Enterprise'' crew only at his leisure.

** Dean Winchester. Guy hunts monsters, Demons, Vampires and etc. by cutting of their heads or burning them to death, since regular means like bullets won't work (unless it's rock salt or silver). He was trained in firearm, cold weapons and martial arts by his ex-marine father since he was a small child, and was tortured and taught to torture others in Hell ''(literally)''. The idea is trying to save as many human people as possible, so there's a huge no-no on killing humans, and he's the best damn Hunter you've got, at least in the USA. But when you hurt or kill someone he loves, it doesn't matter if you're a monster or a human. His BerserkButton in specific is hurting his brother. Like [[spoiler:poor Charile, who was killed by the Stynes in season 10. The Stynes (a hole family of creeps — but still somewhat ''human'' creeps)]] found out not to soon later that pissing off Dean Winchester is a bad, bad idea.

[[folder: Video Games]]

* Asura from ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' is practically the Japanese answer to the Hulk. Making him angry is not only inadvisable, but practically ''suicide''.

[[folder: Web Comics]]

* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': Jenka, a monstrous SuperSoldier [[BearsAreBadNews riding a bear]], politely asks to enter a town. She retains her politeness even when some idiot fires a crossbow bolt at her ("[[ArrowCatch I forgive. Once.]]"), and in the subsequent battle she keeps yelling in an exasperated voice that she just wanted to enter the town--even as she's fighting the entire guard at the same time.

[[folder: Web Original]]

* In [[https://youtu.be/Md3nt8-vhDg one video]] by Piemations, which parodies ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'', Nick Wilde drops a priceless line about Judy Hopps while in a high speed pursuit. [[spoiler: Judy then shoots the tires in a rage causing the car to crash.]]

[[folder: Western Animation]]
* The Avatar State in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': Some context: the Avatar is a individual who is reincarnated once per generation that alone has the ability to control fire, earth, water, and air (normal benders only controls the element of their birth).\\

* WesternAnimation/{{Droopy}} is always the calm and rational one - half of the time, he just looks flat out ''bored''. However, do something that angers him, he'll calmly walk up to you, ''grab you'' down to his level and tell you [[TranquilFury "You know what?]] [[ThatMakesMeFeelAngry That makes me mad."]] Cue asskicking.

** Woe to the pony who manages to piss off [[ShrinkingViolet Fluttershy]]. She can go from the nicest pony in Equestria to the most terrifying if you hurt her friends, and managed to out-stare a cockatrice ''[[TakenForGranite as it was turning her to stone]]'' while protecting some fillies.

* Said word for word by Peter in an early episode of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', when he was "[[BlatantLies explaining]]" why he canceled a reservation at the local SuckECheeses. In his flashback, he ends up being restrained by a [[ThoseWackyNazis Hilter-worshipping]] manager dressed as [[{{Satan}} the devil]], before delivering the line and, naturally, HulkingOut. At that point Lois calls him out, and he's amusingly still in his Hulk pose as the "flashback" ends.
* Lucas Amato from ''WesternAnimation/CyberSix'' gets this reaction from his students: an entire trio of delinquents who are about to rough up Julian turn tail and run as soon as he shows up. The only thing keeping him from falling squarely into TheDreaded territory is that he's a really nice guy and actually well liked by his students.

-->-- '''David Banner''', ''Series/TheIncredibleHulk''

* The [[TropeNamers Trope Namer]] is ''Series/TheIncredibleHulk'' TV series, and its classic implied threat, delivered with a wonderfully understated and grim bemusement. And it's actually said ''before'' he becomes the Hulk.

->"If you want to be cool\\

* BigBrotherInstinct
* CantTakeCriticism

* MamaBear
* PapaWolf

'''Shepard''': You even ''think'' of coming after [[spoiler:your brother]] and this bullet will be waiting for you!

** [[HilariousInHindsight That same line happened]] (In Portuguese) in ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibleHulk''.

* ''WesternAnimation/PussInBoots'': "Tsk, tsk, tsk. You have made the cat angry. ''You do NOT WANT to make the cat angry!''"
* Make no mistake. If you make Io (from the film ''Escape From Planet Earth'') angry, she'll flex her muscles like ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibleHulk'', and then beat you up like a ''Wrestling/{{WWE}}'' superstar.

* Inverted rather amusingly in ''Series/{{Angel}}'' when a woman offers to "[[UnusualEuphemism make him happy]]". Angel responds that "You won't like me when I'm happy", as the last time he made love he turned into the evil Angelus -- he's under a curse that will make him lose his soul if he experiences a moment of perfect happiness.
** Another woman finds her warlock father intends to offer her as a VirginSacrifice. When he uses this trope, she snaps back in SarcasmMode, "No, because then you might do something ''bad!"''

* ''Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi'': In the episode "Hungry Yumi", an angry fat man complains to Yumi to let him have the last Pink Palace cheeseburger parodying Hulk's statement as "If I don't get my Pink Palace cheeseburger, I get hungry. And you won't like me when I'm hungry!" Yumi angrily rebuffs "I DON'T LIKE YOU NOW!!!"

* BewareTheSillyOnes Ditto per the above, but for ''funny'' characters.

** You ''really'' don't want to piss off the Doctor. That seemingly harmless oddball can tear the heavens apart and reshape reality if he really wants to. There's a ''reason'' the Daleks, a race of {{Omnicidal Maniac}}s capable of wiping out all life in the universe, hate and fear him so much. They have no emotions, and they invented a number of names to call him by: the Destroyer of Worlds, The Oncoming Storm and the Predator.

** Surprisingly enough, Rory Williams. Kidnap one of his loved ones? Prepare to have [[OlderThanHeLooks the]] [[Really700YearsOld Last]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Centurion]] blow up your star-fleet.

** Harry is an AllLovingHero at heart (if a KnightInSourArmour for a large chunk of the sequel and on the dark end of GoodIsNotNice), who genuinely wants to help people as much as he can - though he later modifies this to 'only those who want to be helped'. He is also the only psychic even in the same weight-class as Jean [[spoiler: (and Maddie)]], equally powerful with his magic, and [[spoiler: a latent Phoenix host]], as well as having a creatively nasty streak when someone hurts an innocent. See, injuries to him, he can forgive. Injuries to someone he cares for? If you're lucky, he'll kill you.

* In chapter 59 of ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'', Bruce Banner quotes the page quote almost word for word.

* In [[https://youtu.be/Md3nt8-vhDg one video]] by Piemations, which parodies ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'', Nick Wilde drops a priceless line about Judy Hopps while in a high speed pursuit. [[spoiler: Judy then shoots the tires in a rage causing the car to crash.]]

* In one ''[[Roleplay/GlobalGuardiansPBEMUniverse Butlerverse]]'' story, this line was quoted verbatim to [[SuperRobot Omega]] by [[FlyingBrick Stone]], after the villainous machine threatened an eight year old girl whose only "crime" was being a telepath. [[FriendToAllChildren One just doesn't threaten children in Stone's presence and expect to walk away unhurt]].

* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', notably ''Future'', has seen Steven himself become this trope as a result of his trauma. Steven himself is still the amicable hero with a heart of gold everyone knows and lovse, but when pushed to the brink, he becomes extremely dangerous.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: When a particularly nice character ''snaps'' after being messed with one too many times.

* BerserkButton: When pissing off comes from a specific thing.

** Harry Dresden. Most of the time, as [[BadassNormal Karrin]] [[WillTheyOrWontThey Murphy]] notes, he's basically an oversized nerd who hunches slightly, speaks softly and never meets anyone's gaze, as if apologising for his size (and, in the latter case, looking to avoid [[WindowsOfTheSoul a Soulgaze]]), who cracks terrible jokes and does odd things. Then, someone makes the mistake of harming an innocent, someone under his protection, or, worst of all, someone he loves. After that, he opens his body up to his full height (nearly seven feet, and he isn't exactly stick thin either...) and thunders spells in a voice that can be heard 'from the other end of a football field' as he turns the fundamental powers of the universe into his personal plaything and unleashes them on whoever's pissed him off. It's a sight that is described as intimidating on an evolutionary scale, and usually results in a trail of destruction featuring any number of dead monsters, some [[PhysicalGod godlike in their powers]] and usually at least [[DestructiveSaviour one burning building.]] And if you've taken [[spoiler: his daughter]], he will find you and he will [[spoiler: commit genocide]]. You can pray to God, but he won't help you - [[CelestialParagonsAndArchangels his]] [[ChurchMilitant agents]] are more than likely to be backing Dresden up.

** To any onlooker, [[Manga/VentoAureo Vinegar Doppio]] is an unassuming young man who's friendly to all he meets. But then you make him stressed or angry... [[spoiler:and [[SplitPersonality Diavolo and his Stand King Crimson]] make themselves known.]]

* [[TropeNamers Named]] after ''Comicbook/IncredibleHulk'':

* In ''FanFic/ThisBites'', Soundbite parodies this trope in his response to Su's punishment for him teasing [[spoiler:the human Merry]].

-->'''The Operative''': Do you know what your sin is, Mal?
-->'''Malcolm Reynolds''': Ah hell, I'm a fan of all seven. But right now? I'm gonna have to go with ''wrath''.

---> '''Shotgun Suzie:''' You really want me to get cranky?
---> '''John Taylor:''' You wouldn't like her when she's cranky.

* ''Series/DoctorWho''--

* In ''{Manga/FullMetalAlchemist}'', Roy Mustang, who is Colonel of the Central army, is quite a ladykiller, TheDitz and sometimes very weird. But.... if you hurt a hair of his subordinates, well... there is a reason he's called the Hero of Ishbal.
