*** Unsurprisingly, roaring rampages of revenge are an important religious ritual in [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Klingon culture]]. At the time of K'ehleyr's murder, Worf has been expelled from Klingon society and considered to have no rights. But revenge is so central to Klingon beliefs that taking down his wife's murderer is an exception to that rule.

* ''{{Series/Bonanza}}'': Several episodes, especially those focusing on Little Joe. The classic example is the 14th-season opener "Forever," starting from the point when Joe finds out that his wife, Alice, had been killed by a ruthless gambler named Sloan (and not died in a tragic house fire as he first had been led to believe). First, when he learns that the music box he had given Alice (as a gift) is in someone else's hands, he grabs its new owner – A WOMAN – and demands answers about how she got it. He refuses to cooperate with Deputy Clem Foster, and eventually – with Candy's help – is able to use his expert tracking skills to catch up with Sloan and his gang. After Joe and Candy take out two of the goons, Joe brutally beats down the killer's goon (a muscle man who was at least 200 pounds heavier and a foot and a half taller than the tiny Alice), before confronting Sloan. Joe gets some unexpected help from Sloan, who is drowned in a nearby river.

Cleverly averted when it is revealed [[spoiler: that it was actually Tyler who was shot on the beach by Takeda and Daniel is unharmed. Emily's plan does not involve any blood being spilled (although things rarely go according to her plan).]]
** The promos tease this quite allot, with the deaths of Charlotte and Lydia at Emily's hands being suggested.

[[spoiler: Urs and Vachon]] bite the dust, with Nick next on the list, before we find out that she's actually [[spoiler: [=LaCroix's=] mortal daughter from when he was a Roman named Lucius; she was saved from death by being turned into a vampire, and she then turned [=LaCroix=] into a vampire so that he could survive the destruction of Pompeii]]. He nearly killed her and sealed her remains in a tomb, but she survived and is looking to pay him back for his betrayal. Check out the series page for the full story.
* In the third season summer finale of ''Series/BurnNotice'', [[spoiler: Strickler sells out Fiona to Irish terrorists to get Michael back into the FBI's good graces. After a lengthy HannibalLecture about how Fiona is weighing him down, nothing about this is clean, and how he's got to stop living in the past, Michael grits out "Fiona is '''not''' my past" and shoots Strickler in the chest. He and Sam then go in guns blazing and save Fiona.]]
* Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. In the second season finale of ''Series/{{NCIS}}'', Agent Catelin Todd is [[spoiler: murdered by turncoat Mossad agent Ari Haswari]]. Even though he was intending to track down and kill [[spoiler: Ari]] before this for his previous actions, Gibbs loses it and goes after him full-bore in the two-part third season opener.
** If that counts then [[spoiler: him killing the man who killed his first wife and child]] has to count as well.
* In the fourth season of ''Series/LasVegas'', Ed Deline's daughter Delinda is kidnapped and held for ransom by a SmugSnake calling himself "Mr. Chips"(you know, since Ed runs a casino, and [[IncrediblyLamePun casinos gamble with chips...]]). Ed pays the ransom in exchange for Delinda's release, but Chips [[UnderestimatingBadassery doublecrosses and nearly kills Ed]], making Ed [[UnstoppableRage very cranky]]. Oh, by they way, Ed used to be the [[RetiredBadass CIA's head of counter-intelligence]], and his right hand man Danny [=McCoy=], Delinda's boyfriend, is a [[InformedAbility decorated Marine Lieutenant]] with two [[WarIsHell bad tours of duty in Iraq]] under his belt. Suffice to say that Chips and his men don't get a chance [[KillEmAll to regret their duplicity]].
* Any fans of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' remember who the Husnock are? Or should I say, were? Killing a man's wife is bad, especially if said man has power rivaling one of the Q.
** To put this in perspective, the Husnock that the energy being (who often took on a human form out of convenience) killed off numbered fifty billion at the time.
** Worf flips out after K'ehleyr is murdered. It doesn't end well for Duras.
* In ''CSIMiami'', the Mala Noche gang is [[WhatAnIdiot stupid]] enough to snipe [[spoiler:Marisol, Horatio's wife]]. Horatio tracks them to Brazil and murders her killer in cold blood. Don't mess with Horatio Caine - or anyone he loves.
** The Mala Noches confirmed their "too stupid to live" bonafides when they decided to make Caine's execution "look good" by handing him a ''loaded pistol''. (See "Matthew Quigley".)
** Memmo, one of the Mala Noches who killed [[spoiler: Horatio's wife]] later escaped from prison and went on a deadly rampage not against Horatio & Co. but [[spoiler: the people who put his daughter in harm's way, from the nurses who turned her away from the hospital to the head of the foster-care placement system who left her with a neglectful woman. This guy's actions were so {{egregious}} that ''Horatio basically lets Memmo kill him'']].
* Two of the villains in ''{{Boss}}''. One uses very elaborate methods, while the other sticks to guns.
* In the sixth season finale of ''Series/GreysAnatomy'', [[spoiler: Gary Clarke, who blames Derek and Little Grey for the death of his wife, goes on a shooting rampage through the hospital]]. He has a list, too.
* Used in a number of ''Series/CriminalMinds'' episodes, and always portrayed in a realistically horrifying way. The most obvious examples are "True Night" (psychotic comic book artist runs around killing the street gang who [[spoiler: murdered his pregnant fiancee in front of him]], "Elephant's Memory" (perennially abused teenager snaps and sets out to kill everyone who's ever wronged him), "House On Fire" (man tries to avenge himself on an entire community for [[spoiler: complicity in beating and driving him out of town]] by trapping them in [[KillItWithFire burning buildings]]), and "Devil's Night" (man [[KillItWithFire burns people alive]] after [[spoiler: his life collapses after a fiery crash that left him in a coma and burned half his face off. Among his kills are the ex-con who hit him, the ex-landlord who kicked him out of his home and the ex-boss who fired him, and other people he felt slighted him just by having happy lives. His rampage would've culminated in the death of his ex-girlfriend and her family, if not for the discovery that his ex-girlfriend had had his child and [[TearJerker the kid isn't afraid of his face]] ]]).
** Another notable example is the Ian Doyle arc: [[spoiler: Doyle goes on a rampage against the team that imprisoned him, culminating in Emily's "[[DeathFakedForYou death]]"]].
* The ''Offender'' episode of ''Series/ColdCase'' has the child victim's father on this path, which is understandable given that the real culprit killed his kid and framed him for it, leaving him incarcerated for 2 decades.
* In ''{{The X-Files}}'', Scully [[TheStoic of all people]] has one of these in the episode "Beyond the Sea", when Mulder is seriously injured after following the information of a psychic on death row (a guy he earlier helped put in jail). Scully goes to said psychic and screams at him that if Mulder dies, she will ''personally'' throw the switch on him. See also PrecisionFStrike.
** She also has one later in the series, yelling at and nearly shooting [[spoiler: the man who shot her sister]]. Scully doesn't often get mad, but when she does, it's best to stay out of her way.
** She has one during the beginning of season 7 and the beginning of season 8, both involving Mulder being in danger.
* In the Season 10 episode "Talion" of ''Series/StargateSG1'', Teal'c goes on one after a former foe bombs a free Jaffa summit, killing "many innocent Jaffa". First he uses the JackBauerInterrogationTechnique to track down those responsible for the bombing, and then when he found out who the mastermind was he had to put down SG-1 (which he does in [[CurbStompBattle curb stomp fashion]]) and then defeated the architect of the bombing in melee combat after being wounded with staff weapons and having the holy hell beaten out of him.
* Beecher of ''Series/{{Oz}}'' tries to go on one following seeing Keller, the guy he fell in love with, working with Schillinger his enemy but in a tragic HopeSpot fails and ultimately gets his arms and legs broken by Schillinger and Keller. Beecher and Schillinger frequently seek revenge against each other throughout the series. Then there's Beecher's epic revenge against Schillinger in episode eight.
* In season 1, episode three of TheBorgias, [[KnightTemplarBigBrother Cesare]] promises [[BigBrotherAttraction Lucrezia]] that, should her husband prove ungallant, Cesare will cut his heart out with a dinner knife and serve it to her. Her husband, Giovanni Sforza, proves [[MaritalRapeLicense very ungallant]]. The rest of the season passes. Lucrezia's marriage is annulled. We think Cesare's just gonna let it pass. [[spoiler: In the episode "The Choice" he essentially rips Sforza open from waistline to chest, carving him up like a Thanksgiving turkey. He can't find a heart, apparently, but he does give Lucrezis the knife.]]
* [[DoctorWho The Doctor]] goes out of his way to avoid these, and even acts that lead the deaths of entire races are cold and calculated (and save far more lives than they cost). The exception created the in-universe saying "Demons run when a good man goes to war".
** In "A Good Man Goes To War", Rory Williams likewise single-handedly infiltrates a Cyberman control vessel, storms his way to the bridge, then demands that the Cybermen watching that area of space tell him where the Silence are holding his wife, in exchange for their lives. When they play ignorant, he has the Doctor blow up the entire Twelfth Cyber-Legion orbiting around them, to make it perfectly clear that neither he nor the Doctor [[DoNotTauntCthulhu are playing games]].
----
* In ''Series/BeingHuman'', Mitchell goes on one when he finds out [[spoiler: Lucy tried to kill him and successfully killed of most of his clan]].
* Played with in ''{{Series/Revenge}}''- we are lead to believe in the pilot episode and promos that Emily Thorne will be responsible for the death of Daniel Grayson and that she is not above murder in her quest for vengeance. Cleverly averted when it is revealed [[spoiler: that it was actually Tyler who was shot on the beach by Takeda and Daniel is unharmed. Emily's plan does not involve any blood being spilled (although things rarely go according to her plan).]]
** The promos tease this quite allot, with the deaths of Charlotte and Lydia at Emily's hands being suggested.
** Emily's plot appears to devolve into this at the end of Season 1 as she seeks to murder the man who killed her father, with greater and greater ferocity. [[spoiler: However, Nolan, his aunt Carol and memories of her father manage to reign in her bloodlust and put her back on track.]]
* ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'': Jonas after Luka dies.
* ''TheWire'' does this twice, both times with Omar -- the usual culprit behind the few over-the-top tropes in the series. The first time is played straight, with [[spoiler:Omar shaking up the entire Barksdale organization as revenge for the murder of his boyfriend, with Avon Barksdale himself narrowly escaping by luck alone]]. The second time can be seen as a subversion, as [[spoiler:the audience goes into the season expecting Omar to [[BadassLongcoat work his usual magic]] on the people who killed his friend, but he ends up failing miserably and [[DroppedABridgeOnHim dying in a spectacularly pointless and meaningless fashion]].]]
* In ''Series/{{Lost}}'''s flashforwards, Ben Linus appears to be on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge (with Sayid's help) avenging Alex and Nadia. Ben even has a list.
** He stops short of [[spoiler:killing Penny Widmore]] when he [[PetTheDog sees her toddler son with her]]. And when [[spoiler:Desmond]] [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown kicks his ass]].
** Ilana goes on one on Ben after she learned that [[spoiler: Ben killed Jacob]]. She stops after Ben explained why he did so.
* ''Series/{{Merlin}}'' Uther, after the death of Ygraine.
** Morgana basically spends the last season doing this to everyone who ever "wronged" her, even those who were only guilty of being on Uther's side. Like father, like daughter.
* Series/{{Chuck}} is an interesting subversion of the trope, in that it's the main villain and not the hero doing the roaring and rampaging: The show's final bad guy Quinn has [[CaptainObvious something of a bone to pick with our team]] because he was the CIA agent who was supposed to receive the first Intersect, the one Bryce stole and gave to Chuck. Quinn, being the CIA's top operative at the time, went in without it anyway, got captured, tortured in a hole in the ground for 378 days, then discharged. He started working Freelance for FULCRUM, The Ring, and Volkoff Industries...[[{{Irony}} all organizations Chuck put out of commission]], and Quinn out of business. So yeah, he's pissed off.
* ''Series/TwentyFour'': Jack's daughter escapes, and the villains still want to lure Jack in, so they have TheMole tell him that his daughter's body had been found. [[WhatAnIdiot Seriously. Bad. Idea.]] Jack comes in, all right -- ''[[GunsAkimbo both guns blazing]]'' -- and [[UnstoppableRage doesn't leave a single one alive]], including the (surrendering) BigBad. We all know about the MamaBear, but don't mess with a PapaWolf, either. Especially not one that's having the longest day of his life (well, one of the several longest days of his life, anyway).
** Still, Jack can't hold a candle to [[spoiler:Tony]] in season seven, avenging [[spoiler:the murder of his wife and unborn son.]]
** But in [[spoiler: Tony]]'s case, it was more of a traditional {{Revenge}} plot--he never went on a "rampage" since all his crimes were only meant to maintain his cover long enough to gain an audience with the villain.
** Jack brings this back with a vengeance in Season 8 after [[spoiler:Renee is killed.]] The villains actually lampshade this, recognizing that he is not trying to expose them, he just wants to kill them all. One of them actually states that they wouldn't be in this mess if they hadn't murdered [[spoiler: Renee.]]
* The ''Series/BabylonFive'' universe contains at least four rampages of revenge.
** The Earth-Minbari War was more or less this trope turned UpToEleven: the Minbari had a GottaKillThemAll rampage (on the scale of a major and horrific interstellar war!) against Earthforce for killing the Minbari leader. ('No Mercy')
** Delenn's TranquilFury annihilation of a [[AttackOfTheKillerWhatever Drakh's]] fleet and a colony ship, prompted after the Drakh destroyed several civilian ships and a White Star. ('End This')
** Ivanova's 'God Sent Me' UnstoppableRage against Earthforce for capturing Sheridan.
** In "A Call to Arms" and ''Crusade'', the [[AttackOfTheKillerWhatever Drakh's]] attack against and infection of Earth in retaliation (?) for the retreat of the Shadows.
* In ''{{Rome}}'' Vorenus and Pullo go on one of these when Vorenus thinks his children have been killed. A very, very, very short rampage, because Pullo and Vorenus are ThereIsNoKillLikeOverKill personified.
** Not to forget what Vorenus does to [[spoiler: the slavers when he discovers that they are alive and were sold to them.]] This most glorious of Roaring Rampages was magnificently topped off with a man-tears approved moment when Vorenus [[spoiler: embraces the illegitimate son of his dearly departed wife and her adulterer.]]
* ''Series/ICarly'': Sam in "iMake Sam Girlier", and Gibby in "iPsycho".
* In ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|Reimagined}}'', Laura Roslin ''very nearly'' has one of these after Tom Zarek tells her [[spoiler: Admiral Adama has been killed (he hasn't)]] and she should surrender.
--> "No. Not now, not ''ever'', do you hear me? I will use every cannon, every bomb, every bullet, ''every weapon I have'' down to my own ''eyeteeth'' to '''END YOU'''! ''I swear it!'' '''I'M COMING FOR ALL OF YOU!'''"
** The best part of that entire sequence was [[spoiler: Adama's "oh shit oh shit gotta call off my girlfriend ''now'' oh shit" face after he took back CIC.]]
* ''Series/{{Heroes}}'': Matt Parkman seeks revenge against [[spoiler:Danko for murdering his girlfriend, Daphne Millbrook]]. Parkman does so by [[spoiler: telepathically forcing Danko to divulge his true identity and the fact that he kills for a living to his unsuspecting girlfriend, Alena.]] Parkman then [[spoiler: points his gun at Alena, but cannot bring himself to shoot her.]]
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': Dark Willow.
** Even before Willow went Dark, [[BewareTheNiceOnes she could pull these off]]. See the last fifteen minutes of "Tough Love."
--->'''Willow''': (To Glory) "I...''Owe...YOU...'''PAIN!!!"'''''
** Giles got a less successful, but no less awesome, cold-rampage [[spoiler:After Angel murdered Jenny Calender]]. FLAMING BASEBALL BAT!
*** "Don't you people use stakes anymore?!"
* Isabelle Tyler from ''{{The 4400}}'' goes batshit insane and [[spoiler: kills every member of the NOVA Group she can find]] because Daniel Armand gave Shawn schizophrenia.
