10	When a nice, normal character suddenly goes into a rage, you've hit their BerserkButton.
11	----
12	* ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'': Comparing Dr. [=McNinja=] to other doctors upsets him, as seen in [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/15p44 "Doc Gets Rad"]].
13	* In this [[http://xninjared.deviantart.com/art/Alan-Wake-Meme-197192094 Alan Wake Meme]] the main character wants to show he's the better man by not beating up a guy, but the moment he mentions his name is a female name, he immediately beats the guy up.
14	* Loretta from ''Webcomic/AMagicalRoommate'' is actually a fairly kind person, though not unreasonably so. If you so much as ''scratch'' one of her swords, though...
15	* ''Webcomic/{{Aurora\|2019}}'': The god Zuurith loses control and grabs Kendal with his chain when the latter implies Zuurith's influence and control aren't as powerful as he thinks they are.
16	* ''Webcomic/AwfulHospital'': Do not mention Dr. Phage to Dr. Man.
17	* Don't try to serve Webcomic/AxeCop a birthday cake without a candle of him on top. Especially when he's just got a tornado gun as a present.
18	* ''Webcomic/TheBedfellows'':
19	** Don't touch Sheen's stuff.
20	** Don't ask Sheen about Fatigue's gender.
21	* ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'':
22	%%** If the [[http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c12/p22.html Confrontation]] chapter was any indication, Mike can be this way.
23	** Don't be [[http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c55/p31.html too flirty]] about Mike near Lucy.
24	%%** [[http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c62/p12.html This]] could be a bad sign.
25	** Jess ''hates'' Tess, and especially hates it when other people defend/are nice to Tess. For example, when Daisy tells her to back off and leave Tess alone, she [[http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c63/p10.html bitterly barks at her to "shut the fuck up"]]. She later ''punches'' Lucy when the latter calls her out for trying to manipulate Paulo to dump Tess. [[spoiler:This turns out to be semi justified, as Tess ruined her life in the past.]]
26	* Do NOT call Hester from ''Webcomic/{{Blip}}'' the [[http://rakugakiwall.com/blip/archive/622 H-word.]] She will kill you.
27	* ''Please'' do not call Dr. Vladimir Stein "Webcomic/BloodStain", as [[KidsAreCruel he had more than enough of that nickname from his school days]].
28	* ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'': [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/011022c Do not speak against ice cream]].
29	** Although used for humor, don't call [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/060805 Centaur Man 'Horsey Man']]. [[spoiler: She]] will attempt to trample you to death... repeatedly.
30	* Don't ever call ''ComicBook/{{Buck Godot\|Zap Gun for Hire}}'' "butterball". [[https://web.archive.org/web/20101205014854/http://www.airshipentertainment.com/buckcomic.php?date=20070308 The crew for X-tel Shipping... really shouldn't have.]] In fact, [[https://web.archive.org/web/20101205015349/http://www.airshipentertainment.com/buckcomic.php?date=20070310 don't]] '''''[[https://web.archive.org/web/20150409231915/http://www.airshipentertainment.com/buckcomic.php?date=20070313 EVER]]''''' [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150409232433/http://www.airshipentertainment.com/buckcomic.php?date=20070405 make fat jokes]] at his expense!
31	* In ''Webcomic/BronzeSkinInc'' the friendly giantess Patricia can change her mood in seconds if someone tries to tickle her.
32	* In the webcomic ''Buzz Boy'', it would definitely be in your best interest not to call Becca a sidekick.
33	--> Becca: I'M NOT HIS SIDEKICK!
34	* ''Webcomic/ByTheTail'': One of the sisters Mingh will [=NOT=] tolerate customers asking for discounts on merchandise. Any who try get beaten to a pulp.
35	* In ''Webcomic/CheckPlease'', Bitty is quite small for a college hockey player,the least physical member of the team and is usually the gentle and sweet mother hen of the team. But when Jack asked "Why is Beyonce so important?" it took three other hockey players to hold him back and he still managed to kick Jack in the face a few times.
36	* Zatachi, the friendly jokester from ''Webcomic/CityOfSomnus'' hates, hates, HATES slide puzzles. And since he's a DraconicHumanoid who can breathe fire...
37	* Several ''Webcomic/CollegeRoomiesFromHell'' characters have Berserk Buttons, but the most dangerous is Marsha's. She will try to kill any of her ex-boyfriends on sight -- and God help her ''current'' boyfriend if she gets it in her head that he's cheating.
38	* In ''WebComic/CommanderKitty'', CK learns the hard way that you do ''not'' call [[ArtificialLimbs Nin Wah]] "Lefty".
39	-->[[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2010/01/31/bad-choice-of-words/ Call me that again, and we'll have something in common...GOT IT?!]]
40	* The bartender in ''Webcomic/CornerAlley13'' does ''not'' take it kindly if he's called an ogre. [[spoiler:He's actually only half-ogre.]]
41	* Skoll of ''Webcomic/CryHavoc'' attempts to perform .45 caliber dentistry on her superior officer after he calls her a 'mutt'.
42	* ''Webcomic/CucumberQuest'' has Peridot and her name getting mispronounced.
43	%%* [[http://cyantian.net/?p=458 Jasmine]] apparently has [[http://cyantian.net/?p=460 more]] than [[http://cyantian.net/?p=461 one]]. (Although, the second/third one might be leftoves of the first.)
44	* In ''Webcomic/DubiousCompany'', never, ever call [[RandomNumberGod Phred]] predictable. He will [[BewareTheSillyOnes remake reality]] just to [[{{Troll}} screw you]] over in a way you never thought possible.
45	* In ''Webcomic/DumbingOfAge'', TheFundamentalist Joyce [[https://www.dumbingofage.com/2013/comic/book-3/02-guess-whos-coming-to-galassos/feathers/ cheerfully tells dinosaur enthusiast Dina that evolution is a myth]], then recoils from her DeathGlare while exclaming to Ethan "I didn't even know she ''could'' get angry!"
46	* ''Webcomic/ErikaAndThePrincesInDistress'' : Pita is by far [[ThePollyanna the nicest and most good-hearted woman]] in the entire comic, but if anyone criticizes the food she makes ([[LethalChef with good reason]]), she will enter a terrifying access of UnstoppableRage and have absolutely no qualms about inflicting grievous harm to her poor victim, with the only way to snap her out of it being to compliment said food. She also once snapped out of it after [[spoiler:Erika made her realize that she almost hurt Prince Aurel by accident in her rage]], which seems to indicate that she may not fully realize what she is doing when in this state.
47	** The book-only chapter of Volume 1 shows that she inherited this trait from her father, who is just as nice and optimistic, yet reacts just as violently when someone speaks ill of his food.
48	* ''Webcomic/EverydayHeroes'':
49	** Violet Klein (aka "Shrinking Violent"), is sensitive about the size of her nose. If anyone bumps into it, she undergoes a transformation parodying ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk only in reverse. She shrinks down from 7'2" to 2'7" and goes violent until someone can bring her candy to binge on. This returns her to her normal state [[spoiler:but is dangerous, because she's diabetic and could die from the sugar rush]].
50	** Carrie is a sweet, kind, and loving soul... until you [[http://eheroes.smackjeeves.com/comics/2080279/run-for-your-life/ diss her all-time favorite band]].
51	** Tell Uma to watch where she's going... [[http://eheroes.smackjeeves.com/comics/1923205/dont-have-a-fit/ Stupid freakin' cow ...]]
52	* In ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow'', Lothar - who's pretty damn badass to begin with - goes into berserk mode when his [[http://exterminatusnow.comicgenesis.com/d/20071124.html hat is destroyed.]] Trying to take his coffee away from him gets a [[http://exterminatusnow.comicgenesis.com/d/20040903.html similar reaction from Eastwood]].
53	* ''Webcomic/FakeNewsRumble'' has several characters with this trait:
54	** Keith Olbermann doesn't like people badmouthing UsefulNotes/{{Baseball}}.
55	** And do not mention Yonatan's feelings for Stephanos. [[spoiler:Eventually he admits his feelings to himself and Stephanos though.]]
56	* ''Webcomic/TheFantasyBookClub'': Don't call Fiona "Fi" if you want to live. Even the AU version of her isn't fond of it.
57	* ''Webcomic/FateTypeRedline'': Assassin (Okada Izo) gets murderously angry, throws tantrums, and starts torturing and threatening to kill people if they make fun of him, interrupt his fights, or question his competence.
58	* In ''Webcomic/{{Fanboys}}'' Lemmy goes into a berserker rage (complete with GlowingEyesOfDoom) whenever someone says that "Nintendo is kiddy"; his roommate Paul has used this as a ''[[Literature/TheManchurianCandidate Manchurian Candidate]]''-style trigger on more than one occasion.
59	* A few of the characters and authors on now-defunct comic hub ''Platform/Fireball20XL'' had one or two of these. Namely:
60	** ''Ruins[=/=]Ashes of the Fourth Wall'':
61	** Do NOT call Jen cute. Ever. She also absolutely hates girly-cute things in general, though this is more like a phobia than a BerserkButton.
62	** Don't try to hack Arashi. She'll hack you right back and fry your motherboard. '''''Remotely.'''''
63	** Don't call Ivo "Eggman", and for the love of god, DON'T tell him he can no longer drink DP (Doctor Pepper, pretty much the entire cast's TrademarkFavoriteFood) or that he has to switch to drinking Diet DP.
64	** Jen (the author and the character) gets really pissed off when people can't tell if she's a boy or a girl.
65	** ''The Rogues Gallery''
66	** Do NOT, under ANY circumstances, mention that Kitty Navilos looks like Numbuh Three from ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' to author[=/=]artist Mr. O.M.A. Just don't. The reason for this is that, after he designed Kitty and put her picture online, the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' debuted, and when he saw Numbuh Three, he flipped out because she looked so much like Kitty and he felt like his design had been ripped off.
67	** As ''SweetRevenge'', another comic by Mr. O.M.A., further elaborates on, do ''NOT'' shave [[Literature/{{Slayers}} Lina Inverse]] bald. (The actual incident happened in ''The Rogues Gallery'', ''Sweet Revenge'' was just an extension of that story arc.)
68	** ''Author Space'':
69	** Don't ever tell Jen that you've never drank Dr Pepper. This normally lazy, perpetually-sleepy fox-cat hybrid will ''fly across city blocks in seconds'', corner you and force you to drink a can of DP under pain of death.
70	** Also, '''DON'T''' take away her DP, and especially don't throw it in the sea. When [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Cream the Rabbit]] did this in the 100th episode, Jen went SuperMode and beat the living daylights out of Cream in an epic BattleDiscretionShot.
71	** Don't mock [[Franchise/MegaMan Blues's]] whistle.
72	** Other ''Platform/Fireball20XL'':
73	** Don't call Prismaya "Prisma". It'll drive her nuts.
74	** Don't mention ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgeHog2006'' to Psy. Also, don't misspell his name, and especially don't call him Spycho. He also REALLY hates the battle system in ''VideoGame/SonicChronicles''.
75	** One that occurs with Jen's AuthorAvatar in multiple comics (and probably one for her in RealLife too): if you want to continue living, do NOT wake her up from a nap.
76	** DON'T call Cailen Crow a furry or refer to his comic as a furry comic. It really pisses him off, since his characters are meant to be anthropomorphic cartoon characters à la ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''. Also, don't refer to his AuthorAvatar as Daffy Duck. He's a crow.
77	** One PlayedForLaughs: Don't ask Mr. O.M.A. what song Shadow was listening to in ''Sonic Stereo''. It's "This Machine" by Music/JulienK, a.k.a. Team Dark's theme from ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes''.
78	** If you know what's good for you, don't ever insinuate that Mr. O.M.A. has a transformation fetish, or comment on his TF art with things like "eww" or "that's not right", even jokingly. He's repeatedly stated that his interest in transformation is just that - an INTEREST, not an actual fetish, and the reason he primarily uses females in it is that, by his own admission, he finds females more "flexible" and easier to work with, though he has drawn quite a few TF pictures of male characters, even of himself, on several occasions.
79	* In ''Webcomic/{{Fite}}'', the normally calm-to-the-point-of-bored Ricci goes completely nuts whenever anyone even mentions Lucco.
80	* ''Webcomic/TheFoxSister'': Yun Hee is very serious in her faith and really dislikes it if her religion is treated like some sort of ren-fair novelty.
81	* ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}:'' [[spoiler:Doctor Bowman]] is [[HairTriggerTemper irascible at best and with terrible impulse control]], so it's not difficult to provoke him into attacking you. He ''despises'' the idea of Direct Orders for AI thoughtframes, however, so much that even the mere words "direct order" within earshot will cause him to actively plan revenge on you. Even his best friend has gotten smacked around from that one.
82	* ''Webcomic/FriendlyHostility'': "Fox" Maharassa, when still a minor character in ''Webcomic/BoyMeetsBoy'', was demonstrated to react violently to being called by his actual name ("Kailen").
83	-->"The last guy who used the K-name was stripped naked, tied to a chair, and whipped-creamed..."\
84	"I've been through worse."\
85	"... then he was [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment wheeled into a Jennifer Lopez concert."]]
86	* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'':
87	** Don't get the Jäger Generals started on [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110316 Lucrezia Mongfish.]]
88	** The Jaegers are all very, very fond of their hats (a common Jaeger remark is "Hey, nice hat!") and, apparently, take it badly if the hat is mistreated. When Agatha knocks off Maxim's hat (because he was being rude) he's very much about to flip out... except Agatha is currently in her mad-girl mindset and promptly puts him in his place.
89	** Gil has a button of his own. If you value your face, don't [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080229 mistake his kindness for weakness]].
90	** And [[DarkActionGirl Bangladesh Dupree]] ''hates'' mind control. Slaughter entire cities? Destroy civilizations? She thinks it's [[AxCrazy fun.]] But ''no mind control,'' not if you value your life!
91	* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'':
92	%%** In [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2005-02-21 this strip]], we see Nanase push ''her own'' Berserk Button.
93	** BigBad Damien is seen to snap whenever someone suggests he was artificially created instead of [[TheChosenOne summoned to fulfill a prophecy]].
94	* A good amount of characters in ''Webcomic/{{Heartcore}}'' have specific things that pisses them off to no end:
95	** Ame will not stand for having her entertainment insulted.
96	** Teo will [[HyperspaceMallet hammer the point in]] that she doesn't like the fact that she has [[ACupAngst the smallest breasts in the cast]].
97	** Volaster will not take it easy if anybody interrupts his stories or claims that [[BigBad Royce]] doesn't love him. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Ame learned it the hard way]].
98	** Unless you're a masochist like Goristro who likes to get punched in the face, don't call Emerald fat. Also, don't ignore her in favor of Ame.
99	* ''Webcomic/{{Heartcore}}'': For Ame, her choice of television viewing is serious business. Insult her favorite shows at your own peril.
100	* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
101	** ''Do '''not''''' fuck with [[SeriousBusiness the mail]] while the Peregrine Mendicant is around. She doesn't carry around that sword just to look cool.
102	** [[ManipulativeBastard Doc Scratch]] isn't too fond of getting OutGambitted by others.
103	*** He also isn't pleased when his clock gets destroyed, and proceeds to beat the snot out of the culprit.
104	** Jack Noir was once forced to try on harlequin outfits by his queen. [[spoiler:Within a matter of hours [[DisproportionateRetribution the queen's dead and he's ravaging two universes with powers just short of a god]].]] This is attributable to two separate berserk buttons being pressed: Jack hates frivolous things with a passion, and he has an overwhelming hatred of authority.
105	*** After Becquerel's self-prototyping, Jack gains all of the "devilbeast's" powers as well as his adoration and loyalty to Jade. Unfortunately for the Courtyard Droll, [[spoiler: killing Jade with a shaving cream bomb before Jack's eyes (even though it was on Jack's orders, which he sent because he couldn't muster the will to kill her himself) wasn't the best thing he could have done.]]
106	** Sollux doesn't like people trying to get inside his mind. [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004409 As Clubs Deuce finds out.]]
107	** Ironically enough, Gamzee's Berserk Button seems to be the "[[Music/InsaneClownPosse Miracles]]" music video.
108	** Meenah flips out when she discovers her post-Scratch self was being manipulated by Lord English rather than just rocking out as an evil bitch-empress and begins screaming vows to gild his skull and keep it as a trophy.
109	* Since the 'Universes and Unrealities' arc of ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'' saw King be used as a literal CosmicPlaything, after it ends he reacts very negatively to any suggestion that he get involved with any of the comic's more fantastic elements.
110	-->'''Maxwell:''' ''Why me and not someone who's already mixed up in all this? Like King?''
111	-->'''Tarot:''' ''King said, and I quote, "No, no, absolutely not, never again, no," followed by a crescendo of creative profanities.''
112	* Youtuber/Deviantartist idol334 (aka idol) '''hates''' it when she is told to put other things on her hamburger instead of just ketchup.
113	** Also, she went berserk [[http://idol3341.deviantart.com/art/Idol-damn-comic-260814982 after the scale measured her with a censored measurement.]]
114	---> idol3341: '''GRAAAH!!! I HATE YOU!! YOU SON OF #@*!!!'''
115	** Also, whatever you do, [[http://idol3341.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=216#/d46sols DO NOT call idol small. Just don't.]] A stranger learned it the hard way when he called her small. [[spoiler: But it was only a fantasy. In real life, idol, angered, says, "If only I had a gun..."]]
116	** idol3341 even said that [[spoiler: she drew this with all her fury because she was so angry about the "idiots" on the streets.]]
117	--> idol3341: Lately are more and more idiots in the streets and i was so angry that i draw this with all my fury XD
118	** [[http://idol3341.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=240#/d46k5ai This comic]] also has idol's many other berserk buttons such as [[spoiler: hating the flute.]] Also, as idol says in one of her facts, don't come near her when she's mad.
119	* ''Webcomic/ImTheGrimReaper'': It seems insulting Chase's beloved cat, Lightstalker, in any way, is a surefire way to piss him off. He vows to defeat Ashenfall in Fatecraft after he mocks his character avatar (which is modeled after his cat) and [[spoiler: gets irritated with Brook when he calls Lightie a dog and something else that's censored.]]
120	* Invincea from ''Webcomic/InvinceaAndTheWarriorsFromHell'' loves her adoptive father, Torvin, very much. Saying anything to disparage him in her presence is a bad idea.
121	** Donna is very self-conscious about her size, and referring to her as a child is a good way to start a fight on the spot.
122	* [[http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/2623.html Apparently]], it's a bad idea to bring up ''Monopoly'' to [[SingleIssueWonk the creators]] of ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic''.
123	* ''Webcomic/JoJopolis'': Don't refer to Johnnie Newt's prawns as shrimps. Sonny makes that mistake, and Johnnie responds by first chewing him out in a [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Ghiaccio]]-style rant, then [[DisproportionateRetribution unleashing the power of his Stand on him and the group]].
124	* ''Webcomic/{{Klunscomic}}'': Heaven help you if you call Miss B by her birth name "[[spoiler:B.A]]", as The Langman learned the hard way.
125	* In ''Webcomic/KnightsOfBuenaVista'', GameMaster Walter punished Dick for calling {{Music/ABBA}} "the Music/{{Nickelback}} of TheSeventies".
126	-->'''Walter:''' Did you just compare a good band to Nickelback?
127	* ''Webcomic/{{Lackadaisy}}'':
128	** Please, whatever you do, don't [[http://www.lackadaisycats.com/comic.php?comicid=49 give a gun]] to ''Webcomic/{{Lackadaisy}}'''s normally mild-mannered Freckle - unless, you know, you ''like'' [[http://www.lackadaisycats.com/comic.php?comicid=55 murderous]] [[http://www.lackadaisycats.com/comic.php?comicid=56 rampages]] or [[http://www.lackadaisycats.com/comic.php?comicid=57 something]]. (He'll be pretty [[http://www.lackadaisycats.com/comic.php?comicid=58 embarrassed]] about it afterwards, though.)
129	** ''Do not'' touch the pearl necklace that Atlas gave Mitzi. Virgil learned this lesson the hard way.
130	** Also, Mordecai was probably planning on killing you anyway, but you just made the last moments of your life [[http://www.lackadaisycats.com/exhibit.php?exhibitid=30 so much worse]] with your blatant disregard for symmetry.
131	** Mordecai is also upset by anything dirty or unhygienic (bloodshed notwithstanding). He shot his driver, Sniffles, because Sniffles was getting snot all over the car. While stealing arms from the Lackadaisy armory, he felt compelled to dust off the shelves, and was horrified when he found hordes of rats.
132	* ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFoxhound'':
133	** Whilst Raven's not CompensatingForSomething, claiming he is will often earn you a one way ticket to a world of pain...
134	** Mentioning Solid Snake or Liquid's "inferior recessive genes" will throw him into a rage. ''Weaponized'' by Psycho Mantis: "If anyone can verbally assault Liquid cruelly enough to save him, I can.''
135	** Psycho Mantis has quite a lot of them. Women, sex, stupidity, ghosts, stealing his coffee... For him and Revolver Ocelot, their berserk buttons are ''each other.'' Berthold will rip out your lungs if you bother Sniper Wolf. Naomi goes nuts if you say anything bad about Gray Fox. Raven goes nuts if you say anything "racist" around him. ''Most'' named characters have berserk buttons.
136	* ''Webcomic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings:''
137	** Commander Badass worships Creator/MarlonBrando. Literally. And he does not approve of the latter being compared to Creator/ChuckNorris.
138	** He's also proud of his charcoal and wood-burning abilities, so don't imply that [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill he uses propane.]]
139	** [[VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins Sten]] gets irate when the subject of cookies is brought up. Ironically, this doesn't stop him from being obsessed with ''VideoGame/CookieClicker''.
140	** [[VideoGame/GodOfWar Kratos]] has a list of things that ''aren't'' Berserk Buttons. Things recently stricken from the list include, but are not limited to: Roombas, WebOriginal/LOLCats, frozen yogurt and bubble tea.
141	* ''Webcomic/MegaTokyo''
142	** If he's around, try not to bring cameras around Nanasawa, especially if you aim to get upskirt shots. He will not react kindly, and said camera will shortly be pulverised.
143	** [[RobotGirl Ping]] is usually the nicest and most cheerful member of the cast...but do ''not'' [[http://megatokyo.com/strip/1174 call her a sex toy.]] There's also her crazily violent "rejection" reactions, applied to Largo [[{{Slapstick}} for]] [[AmusingInjuries humor]].
144	* ''WebComic/MuhPhoenix'': Implying that [[ComicBook/SubMariner Namor]] is homosexual.
145	-->'''Namor''': This is what you get when you provoke my insecurities! Sure I might dress a little provocatively and sure, my hair is always silky and fabulous, but that's no reason to assume anything! I'm Namor the womanizer supreme! The prick with a huge dick!
146	* Referred to in the ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'' fanfic "A Brief Moment of Culture":
147	--> There are some things you can't say to people around here without having them come completely unglued. With Helen, it's, "Well, it looks like [[TheyCalledMeMad those fools at the institute]] were right after all!" All it takes with Dave is, "Bad news, all they had left was menthol." And Mell? Well... "Your weapons are useless against it!"
148	** Naturally, Artie doesn't tell us what, if anything, is his own Berserk Button. After all, he ''is'' superintelligent.
149	* ''Webcomic/NerfNow'' had "[[http://www.nerfnow.com/comic/144 Revengineer]]" story. [[http://www.nerfnow.com/comic/146 She was]] [[http://www.nerfnow.com/comic/147 just a]] [[http://www.nerfnow.com/comic/148 level]] [[http://www.nerfnow.com/comic/149 ONE!!!]]
150	* ''Webcomic/NightmareFactory'': Emai's is the color blue, for apparently no reason at all. At first it's PlayedForLaughs as one of her many quirks, but actually becomes a plot point and foreshadows her actual identity as [[spoiler: Ylantis.]]
151	* ''Webcomic/{{Noblesse}}'': Frankenstain has a soft berserk button set off by messes & property damage, but the level can be higher if you insult his Master. Rael's berserk button is anyone but him flirting with Seira. Regis can trigger anyone's berserk button by describing at length how inelegant they are. Lastly the Clan Leaders have a shared berserk button set off when Karias addresses the Lord casually, like calling her "Nunim."
152	* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
153	** "[[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0113.html YOU BROKE MY SWORD!]]"
154	** Also trying to match Xykon in arcane power and getting sort of close. This irritates him so much that... he stops goofing around and will [[CurbStompBattle roflstomp you]], even ''taking advice from subordinates'' in order to make sure you die.
155	** Causing Xykon to lose control of the situation will make him ''furious'', to the point of dropping all acts of politeness and trying to outright ''kill you''.
156	** Do ''not'' call Vaarsuvius a Warlock unless you want a quickened lightning bolt to the face.
157	** [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0685.html Don't screw with Mr. Scruffy while Belkar is nearby]].
158	*** Also, don't call him short. Really. We mean it. Seriously. If it's "make fun of Belkar's height" vs. "the worst thing Genghis Khan can think of," go with Genghis Khan. We really aren't kidding.
159	** [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0795.html "TALKY MAN BROKE THOG'S TUSK!]]
160	** [[UnknownRival Having been on the receiving end of this trope]] several times from Xykon, [[ButForMeItWasTuesday A villain not remembering their deeds]] is one for Roy.
161	** Not following the narrative structure that [[GenreSavvy General Tarquin]] approves of:
162	--->'''Tarquin:''' I'm sorry, Elan, but you brought this all on yourself. I tried to give you a dramatically significant death scene to swear vengeance over, but you seem to prefer this... this disjoined anarchy. There's no unity of theme here at all!\
163	'''Elan:''' Didn't we... already do the scene... where you try to convince me to do things your way?\
164	'''Tarquin:''' (''grabbing Elan, face twisted with rage'') Yes, and it didn't go right, so we are DOING IT AGAIN. And we will CONTINUE to do it until you understand that it is in your best interest to...
165	** Also implying in any way that he isn't more than just a ArcVillain [[WrongGenreSavvy and not the Big Bad to his son.]]
166	* ''Webcomic/{{Pacificators}}'':
167	** Don't call Platoon 113 [[RunningGag the Harem Platoon]] to their [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators/MangaPacisV02CH09P142.html faces.]]
168	** [[ProperLady Mun]][[SourPrudes eca]] doesn't appreciate it when you [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators/MangaPacisV03CH01n250.html say vulgar things in public,]] or are [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators/MangaPacisV01CH01P168.html cruel to children.]]
169	** Special mention, however, has to go to [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators/MangaPacisV03CH01n009.html Commander]] [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators2/MangaPacisV04n061.html Breanne]] [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators2/MangaPacisV04n062.html Geothe.]] She's twenty-six years old, [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators2/MangaPacisV04n070.html and has the identification card to prove it.]] What pushes this into true BerserkButton territory, however, is [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators2/MangaPacisV04n071.html Breanne's antics]] [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators2/MangaPacisV04n072.html in the background.]] Just... just ''don't'' [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators2/MangaPacisV04n073.html call her short, alright?]]
170	* In [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/04/10/ this]] ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' strip, Tycho flies into a rage when Gabe insists that ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} Online'' is a [[OlderThanTheyThink ripoff]] of ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''.
171	** In an [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2003/11/24/ earlier strip]], Tycho mocks the ''Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse''... and Gabe responds by shoving a book in his mouth and punching it so hard that it rips off the top half of Tycho's head.
172	** In [[http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2011/08/05 this strip]], Gabe tells Tycho he's bad at sports and everything else. You won't be seeing Gabe's pelvis again anytime soon.
173	* ''Webcomic/PlatypusComix'' wrings some HypocriticalHumor out of this concept during a comic where [[Webcomic/{{Mulberry}} Mulberry Sharona]] (and eventually, Oprah Winfrey and her followers) go ballistic and bloodthirsty over a comedian who once called women overemotional.
174	* In ''Webcomic/{{Plume}}'', Corrick almost strangles Dom for implying that he's a slave. As he describes it (growling and with his fingers trembling near Dom's throat), the [[KidWithTheLeash necklace carrier]] owns the ''amulet'', not him.
175	* ''Webcomic/ThePropertyOfHate'': [[spoiler: When The Butterfly steals the Hero's eyes, RGB goes absolutely ballistic because no deal was made for them.]]
176	* In ''Webcomic/{{Rascals}}'', Charlotte when she deals with any female with a larger chest than her as seen at the start of this page [[https://rascals.kemono.cafe/comic/rascals-pg-376/ here]] with Kyoko and Reiko.
177	* [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Thanatos K'al Hamaad]], a renegade drow from ''Prime of Ambition''. An elf tries to kill him on sight? Understandable, old enmity runs deep... [[http://jaadrih.comicgenesis.com/d/20060324.html barely deserves a comment]] and only because it helped him to make a point. The guy with whom he's lost in an unknown area seems to hate his guts? Would be curious [[http://jaadrih.comicgenesis.com/d/20070209.html to guess the reason]] of such insistence. He is [[http://jaadrih.comicgenesis.com/d/20080409.html referred]] to [[ItIsDehumanizing as "it"]]? Doesn't even roll the eyes. One annoyed threat to "convince" his bird out of [[http://jaadrih.comicgenesis.com/d/20070922.html silly practical jokes]]? [[http://jaadrih.comicgenesis.com/d/20070929.html Announces]] that messing with her would be a reason enough to kill.
178	* In ''Webcomic/RealLifeComics'', the character of Mae Dean owns a replica [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Master Sword]], and while the author Mae Dean owns a number of swords, the Master Sword is not one of them. [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/030723.html So don't ask.]] It's even mentioned in the [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/stuff/faq.html FAQ!]]
179	* In ''Webcomic/RedsPlanet,'' stranded on an alien planet, Red finds that even aliens think anyone with red hair gets dubbed Red. She's furious.
180	%%* Referenced in [[http://www.rockpapercynic.com/index.php?date=2009-11-13 this]] Rock Paper Cynic comic.
181	* ''Webcomic/RoninGalaxy'' takes this trope literally with Ai. Normally a passive computer, goes into attack mode the instant an [[http://www.roningalaxy.com/comic/page-41/ unidentified person enters the ship.]]
182	** Don't ever, EVER try to [[http://www.roningalaxy.com/comic/page-95/ steal the spotlight from Leona.]]
183	* In ''Webcomic/RustyAndCo'', [[http://rustyandco.com/comic/level-6-27/ do not knock over the slaad's house of cards.]]
184	* ''Webcomic/SandraAndWoo'' has some berserk buttons.
185	** For the love of '''GOD''', do '''NOT''' call Sandra a five. Larisa called Sandra a five, and Larisa [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/02/08/0136-theres-still-hope/ paid the ultimate price for it.]]
186	** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/02/18/0139-unfavorable-comparison/ "HUMANS AREN'T UGLY!"]]
187	** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/06/03/0170-slvt/ "You're such a slut, Larisa." "I'm not, you braindead hater!"]]
188	* ''Webcomic/TheSanityCircus'': Posey looses all her chill and lashes out suddenly at Sammy Talbot when he calls Attley a lost cause.
189	* ''Webcomic/ScandinaviaAndTheWorld'': [[http://satwcomic.com/the-napoleon-war No one messes up Sweden's seating plans!]]
190	* ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}:'' The mere ''announcement'' of ''Film/StarTrek2009'' angers the normally mellow Leslie. Robin then demonstrates the psychological trigger to a confused Ethan by mentioning the Transformers Fan Club story "Razor's Edge" and how it begins.
191	-->'''Ethan:''' ''Leave before I destroy you.''
192	-->'''Robin:''' Every nerd's got a button to push.
193	%%* ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'':
194	%%** Seymour [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2010-09-16 pushes]] Fuchsia's...and [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2010-09-17 regrets it]].
195	%%** And following that, a very understated one for the usually soft-spoken and mild-mannered Criminy [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2010-09-19 here]].
196	%%** And then Forky [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2010-10-14 tells Fuchsia]] someone was hunting it. Things ''almost'' got messy.
197	* [[http://lj-phillips.deviantart.com/art/Under-My-Skin-Interlude-4-Whose-The-B-tch-Now-379329333 In this strip]] from ''{{Webcomic/Skins}}'' Captain Tyr, normally the most restrained of the werewolf soldiers, smashes in a recruit's face for making a crude remark about Jordan, with whom Tyr is deeply in love.
198	* In ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'', [[spoiler:Buwaro]] is the [[OurDEmonsAreDifferent most innocent person in Hell]] until [[spoiler:you take away his star pendant.]] However we later learn that [[spoiler:he was ''born'' with (Not So) UnstoppableRage and the amulet suppresses it]] thus the trope is actually inverted.
199	** Damaging their horns seems to be universal one for demons, as Azurai [[spoiler:kills an angel in anger]] after his boyfriend cuts off one of his horns despite his orders to [[IWantThemAlive take them alive]] and later the demon Dakos flies into a murderous rage and attempts to kill the captive angels after Rhea breaks off one of his horns. Even Buwaro is sensitive about them but instead of rage he just bursts into tears after the tip of his horn is cut off to [[AlchemyIsMagic make a potion]].
200	* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance''
201	** Oasis from two of these. Identify yourself as a [=HeretiCorp=] employee or the object of Torg's love, and she will kill you painfully. The first is the result of extensive brainwashing, but the second is [[{{Yandere}} pure jealousy]].
202	** Bun-bun the mini-lop can be set off just by being. Period. However, if you really want to make him go so far as to take over a spy organization just to hunt you across half the world so that he can kill you, just mess with his Baywatch tapes. His button was probably pushed and then broken off about the time he was born.
203	* One berserk button that steers into major {{Narm}} territory is the button for ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'''s Rosechu: hit her with a pickle, and she'll strip out of her clothes and ''face rape you''. Yes.
204	* In ''Webcomic/SonicTheComicOnline'' after the Kane arc mentioning Sonic's name in front of Amy makes her go somewhat ballistic, [[DartboardOfHate repeatedly firing her crossbow at a target with a picture of Sonic]] and when she meets Sonic after Kane arc she quickly pulls out a gun on him.
205	* ''Webcomic/TheSpecialists'':
206	** [[http://thespecialistscomic.com/page-57/ Do not call him Baron Crossbones to his face.]]
207	** Hartmann, [[http://thespecialistscomic.com/page-16/ when]] [[http://thespecialistscomic.com/page-29/ attacked]].
208	* ''Webcomic/{{Spinnerette}}'':
209	** The eponymous six-armed hero hears cracks about her deodorant bill several times a month and responds with anger when they bring it up, insisting that they should be more original.
210	** From the same comic, Tiger has several: being called [[ColorCharacter Black Tiger]], implying that his muscles were gained through steroids instead of training and protein shakes, and his blind hatred of Canadians. [[spoiler: Though he has [[CharacterDevelopment gotten better about the last one.]]]]
211	* In ''Webcomic/SupernormalStep'', Derry, as a MoodSwinger, gets angry at the mere mention of Henderson Security, but [[spoiler: he loses it completely when Fiona mentions that the Hendersons made her an offer]], and [[spoiler: he gets even angrier when Hall rescues her]].
212	* In ''Webcomic/ThreeJaguars'', [[http://threejaguarscomic.net/?comic=good-marketing-2 coupons]] for Marketer. A betrayal of the trust between customer and seller.
213	* ''Webcomic/{{Waterworks}}'': The protagonist, Connie, is fairly germophobic, and she goes for an off-screen ExtremeMeleeRevenge after being splashed with what she thinks could be toilet water.
214	* ''Webcomic/WeakHero'':
215	** Gray is usually a terrifying individual, but he's frozen with fear when he's taken to a rooftop (his personal TraumaButton) to face Wolf. Things looks bleak as Wolf gives him a thorough beating without Gray fighting back at all. Then Wolf makes the dreadful mistake of threatening to throw Gray off the roof, the same thing that happened to Gray's best friend and left him with his trauma. Wolf doesn't stand a ghost of a chance after that.
216	** Messing with Teddy's backpack. When his teacher in middle school touched it, Teddy beat the shit out of him and ended up suspended because of it. You can imagine how pissed he got when Gray stole it and left it out in the rain.
217	** Throughout most of his introduction, Jack is stoic even in the face of a violent battle. Then Ben shows up and he absolutely ''flips his lid'', screaming like a madman and threatening to break his arm.
218	** Stare at Wolf for longer than three seconds and he'll beat you into a pulp. This has become known as 'Wolf's 3-Second Rule' in-universe.
219	* ''Webcomic/TheWeeklyRoll'': Breaking Becket's sword. He also gets rather upset when he gets it repaired and the blacksmith replaces nearly all of it with new bits. [[spoiler:This is because he took the sword from a family he killed just before starting his path to atonement.]]
220	* Simon, from ''Webcomic/WhenHeavenSpitsYouOut'', is shown to be a highly volatile man due to his alcoholism, and frequently unleashes his rage upon his wife and children.
221	* Doc from ''Webcomic/TheWhiteboard'' is a stickler for proper equipment usage, safety, and maintenance. Given some of the inane or outright ''stupid'' customer requests he's had to deal with over the years, it's an understandable peeve, but it does seem kinda strange coming from a guy who's shop ''[[StuffBlowingUp explodes]]'' several times a week. But then again, there's probably a ''good'' reason Doc's hobbies haven't killed him yet.
222	* The [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Head Maid]] of the Astarte Manor in ''Webcomic/WhiteDarkLife'' is a violent and bitter woman at the best of times. But saying her real name changes her from merely abusive, to outright murderous.
223	** The repeated attempts of various characters [[PuppyLove to get Uma to like Matthew]] slowly turns the poor kids very existence into something that irritates the five year old harpy into attacking him on sight.
224	* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'':
225	** [[http://xkcd.com/292/ Make use of a goto statement and you're raptor food]]. This strip was used [[http://fi.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.goto.php in PHP manual]], by the way. However, tell a veteran programmer (especially those who worked with OS/370, Fortran or any archaic versions of BASIC) that using a goto statement is bad and you'll receive a verbal beatdown, with quotes from "[[http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/real.programmers.html Real Programmers Don't Use Pascal]]" scattered throughout. Your safest bet would be to avoid the topic altogether.
226	** "[[https://xkcd.com/1015/ If you really hate someone, teach them to recognize]] [[UsefulNotes/{{Fonts}} bad kerning.]]"
227	* Webcomic/{{Yamara}} as a halfling and thief seems to be accustomed to some people's disdain, but ones who miss her multiclassing while showing it provoke her to make a point. It isn't UnstoppableRage, but they just earned a ticket to the world of hurt, [[http://yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2005-05-26 one way]] or [[http://www.yamara.com/yamara/index.php?date=2006-05-25 another]].
228	* ''Webcomic/ZebraGirl'': Don't tell Sandra that she's lonely despite herself. She's likely to drop you from a great height and hiss at you.
229	* In ''Webcomic/ZeusGodlyGoodtime'', VideoGame/{{Pa\|RappaTheRapper}}rappa flies into a rage when he hears [[VideoGame/DonkeyKong64 the Donkey Kong Rap]], going as far as beating up Diddy Kong for dancing to it.
230	* In Webcomic/{{Zodiac\|2011}}, if you value your health, DO NOT call Taurus fat.
