History RoaringRampageOfRevenge / LiveACtionTV

* 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]].

** 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')

'''Josh:''' [[RantInducingSlight Raaaaaaaaaaah!]] Come here! Come here, you wanna tussle!\\

* ''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.]] [[PapaWolf 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).

* In ''Series/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.

* Near the fifth season finale of ''Series/{{Lucifer}}'' after the death of [[spoiler: Detective Dan Espinoza]], [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Maze]] finds the main base of the man responsible. both she and Lucifer go over to kill all the goons. At the end, Lucifer doesn't kill their boss, instead [[CruelMercy he gives him a stare with his demonic eyes]], to make sure that the rest of his life he knows [[DraggedOffToHell what awaits him after his death]].

'''Mr. Roland:''' Mr. Nichols! You will leave this classroom now!\\

* ''Series/PersonOfInterest'': After Ordos, [[WomanScorned former CIA agent Kara Stanton]]'s entire purpose in life is getting revenge on the person responsible for her being sent to China in the first place. Her benefactors, Decima Technologies, know only his name; Harold Finch, and will give her the name after she achieves their mission goal of uploading a virus to the internet. She goes about this mission by kidnapping her former CIA hander, Mark Snow and partner, John Reese, strapping bomb vests to them and having them do her bidding.

* 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. The being killed them with a single thought, in a single moment of grief-stricken rage.
** Worf flips out after K'ehleyr is murdered. It doesn't end well for Duras.
*** 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. In the [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine DS9]] episode ''Shadows and Symbols'', Martok, Bashir, Quark, and O'Brien accompany Worf in destroying an entire Dominion shipyard to honor [[spoiler: Jadzia's]] memory. Early on, his companions realize that Worf is being far more zealous in his task than tradition requires.
* In ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' episode "Stardust City Rag", Seven of Nine goes on one when Icheb is killed by Bjayzl, having been vivisected for his Borg parts and left to die, forcing Seven to give her surrogate son a MercyKill.

* One episode of ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'' had Josh [[BewareTheNiceOnes angrily trying to tackle Drake after the latter makes him miss an important chemistry exam]], only to get himself thrown out of class again.

* One episode of ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'' had Josh [[BewareTheNiceOnes angrily trying to attack Drake after the latter makes him miss an important chemistry exam]]. Of course, since Josh attempted to attack Drake ''[[RevengeBeforeReason in a classroom]]'', [[RealityEnsues Josh gets into even further trouble]].

* ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' once parodied Disney's recent (for 2015) trend of making live-action remakes of their animated movies by reimagining ''{{Disney/Bambi}}'' as one of these. Creator/DwayneJohnson (the episode's host) played the title character.

* The Kovac arc on ''{{Series/Bones}}'' is this crosses with YouKulledMyFather. Booth had to kill a warlord at the guy’s son’s birthday party. The boy and his sister grow up and set out to get revenge. The guy becomes a paramedic and after torturing several people for info, he hacks the pacemaker Brennan’s dad had installed. He attacks the safe house Max and the kids are at with hired guns but isn’t counting on just how ferocious Max Keenan can be when his family is at risk, even at the cost of his own life. The hired guys die and Kovac is arrested. He won’t give up though and blows the whole lab up after escaping. Booth kills him in a final confrontation.

* ''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.

** All the Stark children have a strong desire for revenge against those who harmed their family and their home. Arya in particular has an ever-expanding kill list of people who have wronged her, her family or her friends, and of those who she sees as particularly evil. Eventually Sansa and Jon succeed in extracting this from the Boltons, who they wipe out forever with the death of Ramsay Bolton, while Arya murders "Lame" Lothar Frey, "Black" Walder Rivers and Lord Walder Frey; the latter was the last surviving conspirator for the Red Wedding and the former two murdered Talisa and Catelyn. In addition, Sandor finds himself forced to help Arya carry out revenge on Frey soldiers after the Red Wedding.

** The [[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E10FaceTheRaven three]]-[[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E11HeavenSent part[[ [[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E12HellBent finale]] of Series 9 is centred in part around this with regards to the Doctor. Before his companion, Clara, is KilledOffForReal, she spends her final minutes consoling the Doctor in part to stop him from going on a rampage after he begins to threaten this to those responsible for her imminent death. She is only partially successful.

* ''Series/SovietStormWorldWarIIInTheEast'' has the Red Army doing this en masse to both the German military and civilian population. once they manage to reach Germany, mainly due to the fact that many of them lost their family, friends, neighbors, and even homes when the Germans invaded in 1941.
* ''{{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 the muscle man, who – after years of taking his own abuse and, now angry that he's being blamed for the murder – drowns Sloan in a nearby river.
* ''Series/StepByStep'': The Season 7 episode "Phoney Business," where Frank finds out that the suntan lotion commercial daughter Al was starring was actually taped for a phone sex hotline. Frank asks Rich to tell him what he knows about the commercial (after which he threatens Rich if he's known to ever watch the commercial again) ... after which he confronts the commercial's corrupt advertising salesman. When the salesman tries to bluff his way out of the situation, Frank [[PapaWolf goes berserk]], grabbing the producer by his collar and holding him three-fourths of the way out the window to force him to talk. Frank then rips apart the office to find the original master tape, which he then threatens to show to the producer's boss unless he immediately asks the TV stations to kill the commercial … then adds afterward that if he is ever known to be producing smutty commercials again involving teenaged girls, he'll be back and it won't be good. In the postscript, Al is forgiven (and learns a lesson about reading the fine print, doing a background check, etc.), but it is implied that big brother J.T. – who got Al the job in the first place – has an angry father to look forward to when he gets home.
* PlayedForLaughs in the episode "The Marry Prankster" of ''Series/HappyEndings''-after Dave and the others prank Max into thinking he won the lottery, Max has this to say.
-->'''Max:''' Read...my...lips. I am going to get revenge on every last one of you. And no one will be able to escape the wrath of Max Broom! What, dammit! Max Blum! How I'd mess up my own name? It's your fault! And now I'm embarrassed and I want revenge on all of you, even harder!
** He then spends the rest of the episode pranking the rest of the gang, while Dave and Alex try their own ways to avoid this. Eventually, he's pranked them all (even Penny's fiance Pete because Max 'plays by mob rules-you, your family, anyone in the same room') and crows with triumph.
* In ''Series/{{Being Human|UK}}'', 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.
* ''Series/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 2008}}'' 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.

* In ''Series/{{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".

* ''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.]]

* Isabelle Tyler from ''Series/TheFortyFourHundred'' goes batshit insane and [[spoiler: kills every member of the NOVA Group she can find]] because Daniel Armand gave Shawn schizophrenia.
* In ''Series/ForeverKnight'', a child vampire shows up and starts slaughtering those in [=LaCroix's=] inner circle. [[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.

* Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. In the second season finale of ''Series/{{NCIS}}'', Agent Caitlin 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.
** A truly scary one occurs after [[spoiler: Diane (ex-wife #1)]] is [[BoomHeadshot sniped]] by [[spoiler: Sergei Mishnev]] in a way that deliberately mimics the aforementioned [[spoiler: Caitlin Todd]]. Gibbs tracks him down to his hiding place, shoots his way through his {{Mooks}}, and gives him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown. Unfortunately for Gibbs, a previously unnoticed mook gives him a TapOnTheHead; by the time Gibbs wakes up, [[spoiler: Sergei]] has escaped.
** Any time Tony or Ziva goes down for the count and the other finds out... ''not pretty.'' ("Family First" drove this point home clearly when Trent finally got what was coming to him.)
* 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. The being killed them with a single thought, in a single moment of grief-stricken rage.
** Worf flips out after K'ehleyr is murdered. It doesn't end well for Duras.
*** 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. In the [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine DS9]] episode ''Shadows and Symbols'', Martok, Bashir, Quark, and O'Brien accompany Worf in destroying an entire Dominion shipyard to honor [[spoiler: Jadzia's]] memory. Early on, his companions realize that Worf is being far more zealous in his task than tradition requires.

* Two of the villains in ''Series/{{Boss|2000}}''. One uses very elaborate methods, while the other sticks to guns.

* 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 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.

* In season 1, episode three of ''Series/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:But in the episode "The Choice", Cesare essentially [[GuttedLikeAFish 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 Lucrezia the knife.]]
* [[Series/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]].
** The Master has gotten a short, but very memorable one, near the end of second part of "The End of Time". Earlier, it was discovered the 'sound of drums' in his head which drove him ''insane'' since he was 8 was actually a beacon for the trapped Time Lords to try and break the Time Lock. After the Doctor TakesAThirdOption to stop the return of Gallifrey and the Time Lords, the Master repays his old friend and wreaks vengeance against Rassilon for having been the cause of the mental torment since childhood, having shot ''blasts at energy'' at him. The next time we see The Master or Rassilon, they have both regenerated, implying that [[MutualKill they killed each other]] in the aforementioned encounter.
** The three-part finale of Series 9 is centred in part around this with regards to the Doctor. Before his companion, Clara, is KilledOffForReal, she spends her final minutes consoling the Doctor in part to stop him from going on a rampage after he begins to threaten this to those responsible for her imminent death. She is only partially successful.
* ''Series/TheBlacklist'': [[VillainProtagonist Reddington]] spends all of "The Good Samaritan Killer" systematically hunting down and killing everyone who was involved in [[HiredGuns Anslo Garrick's]] assault on him in the previous episode (which cost the life of Red's associate/possible lover Luli).
** Mako Tanida goes on one against the FBI agents who incarcerated him [[spoiler: and killed his brother]], which in turn causes Ressler to go on one in turn when Tanida kills [[spoiler: his fiancee]].

* ''Series/UchuSentaiKyuranger'' has Champ/Oushi Black pull this after seeing [[spoiler: Stinger/Sasori Orange]], whom he believes to be responsible for killing [[spoiler: his creator, Professor Anton]]. Later, he pulls this against [[spoiler: Professor's real murderer, Scorpio]]. Stinger/Sasori Orange goes down this path after [[spoiler: his brother's betrayl]]. His next attempt in #16 is cut short by orders from Commander.
* In ''Series/TheXFiles'', 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.
* ''Series/OnceUponATime'': This is Regina's defining characteristic. She wants revenge for an innocent mistake Snow White made as a little girl.
* Francis Marion goes on one after the Tories kill his nephew Gabriel in ''Series/TheSwampFox''. He's so intent on capturing the killer that his own men have to get through to him that the's forgotten they're trying to fight a war too.

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'':
** Set up but ultimately subverted in an episode. After finding his new friends murdered by members of the Brotherhood Without Banners, Sandor Clegane seizes an axe and starts hunting them down... only to find that the murderers have already been captured by the rest of the Brotherhood and were about to be hanged as punishment. They offer Clegane the opportunity to kill one personally as vengeance, but he's already so disappointed by the anticlimactic situation that he takes little satisfaction in the act itself.
** All the Stark children have a strong desire for revenge against those who harmed their family and their home. Arya in particular has an ever-expanding kill list of people who have wronged her, her family or her friends, and of those who she sees as particularly evil. Eventually Sansa and Jon succeed in extracting this from the Boltons, who they wipe out forever with the death of Ramsay Bolton, while Arya murders "Lame" Lothar Frey, "Black" Walder Rivers and Lord Walder Frey; the latter was the last surviving conspirator for the Red Wedding and the former two murdered Talisa and Catelyn. In addition, Sandor finds himself forced to help Arya carry out revenge on Frey soldiers after the Red Wedding.
** Prince Aemond Targaryen burned every Riverlands village after the Blacks captured the capital.
* ''Series/TheWalkingDead''
** Main character Rick Grimes goes on a rampage in the underbelly of the prison in season 3 after his wife Lori dies in childbirth. He takes a hatchet and kills any zombie he comes across, taking extra time on the one who ate Lori's remains. He then has a mental breakdowns, hallucinating that his dead friends are talking to him over a rotary phone.
** The Governor, after some of his men refuse to attack Rick's group, he mows them down with an assault rifle

--->'''Willow''': (To Glory) "I...''Owe...YOU...'''PAIN!!!"'''''

--->'''Max''':Read...my...lips. I am going to get revenge on every last one of you. And no one will be able to escape the wrath of Max Broom! What, dammit! Max Blum! How I'd mess up my own name? It's your fault! And now I'm embarrassed and I want revenge on all of you, even harder!
