** Ditto River Song. Sarcastic, teasing, likes to banter. And - ''can make a '''Dalek''' beg for mercy''. Just... don't make her go there.

* HeroicSafeMode

** [[KindheartedSimpleton Plutia]] is one of the nicest characters in the series despite her constant sleepiness and airheadedness, but [[BewareTheNiceOnes pissing her off]] will cause her to transform into [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Iris Heart]], a ruthless, fear-mongering {{Dominatrix}} who likes to "punish" her foes (and sometimes allies). Even in her normal state, she can be CuteAndPsycho at times, such as her tendencig to "relieve" her stress via ''punching her dolls''.
** Blanc as well. Normally, she is a quiet, soft-spoken EmotionlessGirl. However, she has a ''massive'' HairTriggerTemper and a [[LadySwearsALot potty mouth]], as well as being a GlacierWaif with a [[DropTheHammer giant hammer]] (or [[AnAxeToGrind giant axe]] in HDD) to boot.

* The Avatar State in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': Some context: the Avatar is an 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).\\
\\
When the Avatar state kicks in, they temporarily gain the combined knowledge ''and power'' of all the previous Avatars, of which there has been untold generations of. Until the Avatar learns how to control it, it will kick in when he/she is either in danger of dying or highly distressed. At which point, their tactics and moral considerations consist of: Destroy threat. With extreme prejudice.

* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' main character Clark is one of the nicest guys in the universe. But if someone gets him angry, they find out just how powerful he really is. It says a lot about Lex Luthor that he intentionally does things ''[[{{Troll}} just to piss Superman off]]''.
* ''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 help 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".
* ''Franchise/SpiderMan'':

* Despite his codename of "Hulkling", Teddy Altman of the ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'' is one of the kindest, most even-tempered guys you'll ever meet; he's even described as being "all sweetheart". Of course, that's assuming you don't threaten his boyfriend, Billy Kaplan. Teddy outright pulled this trope on Captain Rogers (from ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'') in Billy's defense.

--> '''Dr. Light:''' Don't! Stop! You win! I surrender!! AHHHHHHH!!\\

-->'''Teddy:''' Captain, I understand you're concerned about Billy['s powers]. But if anything happens to him... your primary concern should be ''me''.

* Luffy, from ''Manga/OnePiece'', is usually a happy-go-lucky type of guy, but if you so much as dare to hurt any of those he cares for, [[BewareTheNiceOnes you better]] [[BerserkButton have your]] [[DontMakeMeDestroyYou testament ready]].

* ''ComicBook/{{Venom}}'': Flash "Agent Venom" Thompson; when he's in control, he's a heroic by-the-book soldier, who often ignores his current mission in order to protect innocents. Get him angry (or worse - [[BerserkButton hurt those innocents]]), and he'll break your bones, scare you to death, and ''then'' [[IAmAHumanitarian bite your head off]].

* In ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', you really, ''really'' don't want to make [[spoiler:Davis Bloome]] angry. If you actually [[BerserkButton hurt Chloe]] in front of him, HaveANiceDeath.

* Let's just say that the last time someone crossed [[Series/{{Lost}} Ben]] [[AffablyEvil Linus]] it didn't [[NoHoldsBarredBeatDown end]] [[BerserkButton well...]]

** Dean Winchester. Guy hunts monsters, Demons, Vampires and etc. by cutting off 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 too soon later that pissing off Dean Winchester is a bad, bad idea.

It doesn't matter if the character is the hero, villain, supporting character, or bystander. Just don't piss off this character if you don't want big trouble.

* ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'': [[TheDitz Plutia]] is normally a slow but kind-hearted girl, but [[BewareTheNiceOnes pissing her off]] will cause her to transform into [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Iris Heart]], a ruthless, fear-mongering {{Dominatrix}} who likes to "punish" her foes (and sometimes allies). Even in her normal state, she can be CuteAndPsycho at times, such as her tendencig to "relieve" her stress via ''punching her dolls''.
** [[SugarAndIcePersonality Blanc]] as well. While normally TheStoic, she's ''very'' [[HairTriggerTemper easy to provoke]] and [[GlacierWaif is actually pretty strong for her size]], with her HDD form being TheBerserker. If anything, pressing her {{Berserk Button}}s (such as [[ACupAngst bringing up her breast size]]) is a death wish.

* ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'': It's a bad idea to anger [[Creator/TimCurry Dr. Frank N Furter]]. Eddie and [[strike:Janet Weiss]] [[FanNickname SLUT!]] had to learn this the hard way.

* From ''Anime/{{Monster}}'', we have [[spoiler: Wolfgang Grimmer, who drew inspiration for his split-personality]] from [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk The Magnificent Steiner]].

* Named after ''ComicBook/IncredibleHulk'':

* ''WesternAnimation/EscapeFromPlanetEarth'': Make no mistake. If you make Io angry, she'll flex her muscles like the ComicBook/IncredibleHulk, and then beat you up like a Wrestling/{{WWE}} superstar.

* The 2008 ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'' film. Bruce Banner attempts to say his catchphrase in Portuguese, 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.

* The [[TropeNamers Trope Namer]] is ''Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977'' 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.

** His uncle ([[ImprobableAge it's complicated]]), [[Manga/DiamondIsUnbreakable Josuke Higashikata]], is normally one of the nicest, most friendly people you'll meet in Morioh Town... but [[BerserkButton talk shit about his hair]], and you'll quickly learn just how dangerous his Stand, Crazy Diamond, can be.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Triggers superpowers.

** ''Manga/VentoAureo'': To any onlooker, 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.]]

* ''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.

--> '''Goliath''': ''Big mistake...Really big GOD DAMN MISTAKE!''
--> '''Goliath''': ''You shouldn't...you REALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE GOD DAMN DONE THAT!"

* Parodied in the Literature/WhateleyUniverse story "Tales of the [=MCO=]" when a commercial break comes. It's the Merchant-Ivory production of "Hulk 1809":
--> My lord, please do not make me angry. Thou wouldst not like me when I am most angered.
* The line is used in Lanipator's WebVideo/YuYuHakushoAbridged movie, by Yukina, of all people. [[spoiler: It's promptly subverted when the villains ignore her and smash her into a wall.]]

-->'''DS Matt Devlin'''(to suspect): "Come on, man. Don't make me me play "bad cop"".
-->'''DS Ronnie Brooks''': You wouldn't like him when he plays "bad cop"

* ''Franchise/DragonBall''

* Misty's Psyduck in ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' may count. It can only use its incredible Psychic attacks when it has a bad headache. (Which ''usually'' is a result of it becoming angry.)

* 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 harm [[LesYay Konoka]] unless you want her to butcher you in split-seconds.

* In ''{{Manga/Bleach}}'', people would rather take on Yamamoto's bankai than piss off Captain Unohana. Considering her usual kind personality, it's mostly played for laughs. [[spoiler: As it turns out, she's completely psychotic and the worst criminal in the history of Soul Society. Yeah, that's not a good idea.]]

* ''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".

Get him angry (or worse - [[BerserkButton hurt those innocents]]), and he'll break your bones, scare you to death, and ''then'' [[IAmAHumanitarian bite your head off]].

* ''Comicbook/TheWalkingDead'': Rick Grimes. He says this to Dwight in issue 169, as the latter has verbally stated his displeasure at the former being Alexandria's leader. Keep in mind that [[spoiler:Rick had recently lost his SecondLove]].

* 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 noises. 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!

* Literature/TheDresdenFiles

* In ''{{Series/Smallville}}'', you really, ''really'' don't want to make [[spoiler:Davis Bloome]] angry. If you actually [[BerserkButton hurt Chloe]] in front of him, HaveANiceDeath.

* ''{{Series/Supernatural}}''

* Goliaths from ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}''. Shoot off their helmet, and they fly into a psychopathic fury that sees them attack the players and any enemies around indiscriminately. Two of the lines they can spit out before going berserk warn the player of the mistake they made by shooting off the Goliath's helmet.

* Paragon Shepard from the ''VideoGame/MassEffect'' series is almost the Platonic essence of BewareTheNiceOnes[=/=]GoodIsNotSoft. A kind-hearted FriendToAllLivingThings, but (as a WellIntentionedExtremist finds out in the Paragon ending of the Overlord DLC in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'') when confronted with extreme cruelty will ''show'' the difference between meekness and weakness:
-->'''Shepard''': I've seen enough of your cruelty to know he'll never be free of it here!\\
'''[[spoiler:Archer]]''': No! Leave him! He's too valuable! *they exchange fire, and Shepard pistol-whips him*\\
'''Shepard''': You even ''think'' of coming after [[spoiler:your brother]] and this bullet will be waiting for you! ''Then'' we'll see who's valuable!
* In ''VideoGame/{{Grandia2}}'', Millennia has an anger meter during combat that spins from green to yellow to red. When she is attacked enough, Millennia's temper will snap and she will usually immediately unleash a powerful attack without needing to charge it like she would in normal combat. She becomes uncontrollable from this point on until the end of the battle.

* [[Anime/LoveHina Shinobu]], [[ShrinkingViolet of all people]], suddenly becomes an example in ''Fanfic/TheBeastThatIAm'' after gaining the power to transform into [[ComicBook/SheHulk Jade]].
