13->''"Just 'cause my parents are yakuza, doesn't mean I'd murder someone, damn it! Now shut up, or I'll kill you!"''
14-->-- '''Momo Ryuju''', ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar''
15
16Alice makes a criticism of Bob. Bob denies it, but does so in a way that [[{{Hypocrite}} validates the statement]]. This makes it a form of HypocriticalHumor.
17
18One of the most common criticisms used for this is calling someone violent or short-tempered, perhaps because it allows a response of [[{{Slapstick}} comedic]] [[ComedicSociopathy violence]], but plenty of other criticisms are possible, including stupidity ("[[TheDitz No, I aren't!]]"), vulgarity ("[[SirSwearsALot Fuck you!]]"), inattentiveness ("No, I'm not-- [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny What are we talking about again?]]"), vanity ("[[InsultBackfire Oh thanks, you noticed!]]"), being pretentious (''"[[GratuitousFrench Moi?]]"''), and immaturity ([[SpoiledBrat throwing a tantrum]]).

20See also DescriptionCut for the inverse of this. Compare NotHelpingYourCase, ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne, IWouldSayIfICouldSay, ObliviousMockery, ObliviousToHisOwnDescription, ImmediateSelfContradiction, MirrorCharacter, and contrast with InsultBackfire. The line itself (which is often attributed to [[Creator/MarxBrothers Groucho Marx]]) is, [[DontExplainTheJoke of course]], a play on "I resent that remark."
21
22Related to SuchAPhony, when one character talks crap about another but pretends to be nice in their presence.

26[[folder:Advertising]]
27* A 1986 commercial for the Embassy Suites hotel chain featured an animated ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}. The commercial ends with a shot of the logo and the {{Narrator}} says, "Embassy Suites, where you don't have to be a fat cat to enjoy the [[{{Pun}} suite]] life," followed by a shot of Garfield sitting at a table holding a knife and fork and thinking, "I resemble that remark."

31* Kind of a NotHelpingYourCase combined with DiggingYourselfDeeper version from the anniversary strips of ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'': When seeing how Kaorin is mooning over Sakaki, Osaka manages to have a realization, which [[TheCuckoolanderWasRight escaped all the other characters]], and asks Kaorin if she is gay. Kaorin angrily protests that no, she isn't, the correct/preferred term is lesbian not gay, and no, she certainly isn't a lesbian, [[ImmediateSelfContradiction it's just a]] [[GayRomanticPhase teenage thing she's going through]], and besides, it wouldn't have mattered to her if Sakaki had been a guy.
32* In ''Manga/{{Bakuman}}'', Mashiro lists the three qualities his uncle believes that a successful {{mangaka}} should have, the first of which is believing that they are better than others.
33-->'''Tagaki:''' Yeah, I've got that but then again, I'm not being conceited. I really do have the talent...\
34'''Mashiro:''' [[LampshadeHanging That's what you call being conceited.]]
35* ''Manga/DeathNote'': Whenever someone accuses [[TautologicalTemplar Light]] of being evil for killing people, his [[DisproportionateRetribution response]] is usually to [[MurderIsTheBestSolution kill the accuser]].
36* Monta from ''Manga/Eyeshield21'' is constantly compared to a monkey. He gets angry at the comparison and acts exactly like a monkey. "Who are you calling a ''[[{{Angrish}} woohee]]''?!"
37* ''Manga/FairyTail'': An interviewer asks Gray [[RunningGag why he's always taking off his clothes]]. As Gray protests that it's not true, Juvia points out that he's in his underwear.
38* In ''Manga/FlyMeToTheMoon'', Nasa introduces Tsukasa to Kaname, then warns Tsukasa that Kaname makes dirty jokes. Kaname gets offended.
39-->'''Kaname:''' I'd rather the guy who doesn't have anything great beneath the waist stop acting like I'm the queen of pervy humor!\
40'''Nasa:''' [[LampshadeHanging This is literally what I'm talking about!]]
41* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'': When Mustang's Lieutenant Breda lets Ed in on why Mustang kept quiet about his plans to fake Maria Ross's death and smuggle her out of Amestris, he mentions that Mustang didn't want the operation to be jeopardized by "some hot-tempered kid". Ed naturally [[HairTriggerTemper flips out]].
42%%* The TokenMiniMoe from ''Manga/GirlsBravo'' does this a lot, although not using ThirdPersonPerson. (The Japanese language has at least 47 ways of acting childish. And 22 ways of [[{{Kawaiiko}} feigning it]].) (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample; does what exactly a lot?)
43* When Karen and Erika try to interview [[YakuzaPrincess Momo]] in ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'', they make a comment about needing to be careful around her lest she kill them. She responds by pointing out that having yakuza parents doesn't mean that she goes around murdering people, then threatens to kill them if they don't shut up.
44* Ayu of ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}'', offended at being teased that she looks like a young boy, protests that she's a girl -- [[{{Bokukko}} but not very girlishly]].
45* On an episode of ''Literature/KazeNoStigma'', Ayano's school is being haunted by a [[ThePrankster mischievous]] pixie named Tiana that keeps playing pranks on her and her two friends (Kazuma, who is also there, remains completely calm watching the three girls run around). At the end, the {{Tsundere}} throws a tantrum about the pixie, her cousin catches it for her, and the two of them begin fighting like little kids. The other three comment about this, but they both deny being like the other or being immature at the same time.
46* ''Manga/LuckyStar'':
47** This trope sort of crosses over with NotHelpingYourCase trope when [[{{Otaku}} Konata's father]] insists that it's wrong to call him a paedophile (in the exclusive sense) because he likes both young-looking girls ''and'' normal girls, so it's more correct to say that he's "''also'' a {{lolicon|AndShotacon}}". Konata isn't the least bit reassured.
48--->'''Konata:''' You still lose at life.
49** When Kagami and Tsukasa first meet her, Yutaka says that Konata talks about them a lot. Kagami asks what kinds of stuff she's been saying, and Yutaka gets scared. Cue Kagami grilling Konata over it, which only makes an obvious half-truth seem accurate.
50* While the cast of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'' are talking about how some members of their group acted when they were kids, the Wolkenritter chime in on how [[GenkiGirl Reinforce Zwei]] was such a child when she was younger. Naturally, Rein protests, insisting that she has always acted like an adult... [[ThirdPersonPerson in a childish way]].
51* ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'': In the first episode, Kamille tells a Titans officer that he doesn't like being bullied by thugs. The Titans' response is to beat him up some more.
52* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'':
53** In one episode, Tsuyu Asui says that Bakugo won't be popular due to how much of an angry hothead he is. He promptly responds with threatening to hurt her, which [[AsideGlance doesn't go unnoticed by her]].
54** A few episodes later, Bakugou is with Kirishima and is calmly coming up with a plan to beat the attacking villains. Kirishima points out that this is so unlike him as he's usually all "[[HairTriggerTemper DIE DIE DIE!]]", which of course causes Bakugou to explode that he's always calm and rational.
55* ''Manga/MyMonsterSecret'' features a two-way version when [[TheDitz Youko]] and [[TheGadfly Akane]] mutually accuse each other of being immature. The onlookers are quick to notice that the argument and their method of resolution (having a "maturity contest") proves both of them correct about each other.
56* ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'': A sure way to hit Kaoru's BerserkButton is disagreeing with her when she states she's fragile.
57* In ''Manga/SgtFrog'', as spring comes, Natsumi tells her mom that Keroro is so lazy, it might be spring all day long on Planet Keron. Keroro is insulted by this, and thinks to himself that he works very hard. But when he tells us what he does as "work", [[JerkassHasAPoint Natsumi is not wrong in the slightest]].
58-->'''[[LemonyNarrator Narrator]]:''' [[LazyBum He does do a whole lot. A whole lot of nothing.]]
59* ''Anime/TransformersVictory:'' One episode has [[TheDragon Leozack]] arguing with Goryu, who asks why Leozack and his troops never show the [[DumbMuscle Dinoforce]] any respect. Leozack points out they're a bunch of idiots, which incenses Goryu, just as Kakuryu passes by being particularly Kakuryu-y. Namely, carrying far too much while singing a children's song, which makes Goryu yell at him, which makes Kakuryu drop the fuel, forcing Goryu to perform some acrobatics to stop it falling and exploding.
60* A RunningGag in ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' is [[LadyLooksLikeADude Ryuunosuke]] responding to being called a man with "[[{{Bokukko}} Ore]] wa ''onna'' da zo!" This literally means "I'm a woman", but it's phrased in the most ''masculine'' way you could possibly say it.
61* ''Anime/YuGiOh'':
62** Rebecca complains about the fact that Yugi is yelling at her.
63--->'''Yugi:''' ''I'M NOT YELLING AT YOU!''
64** A much darker version occurs during Atem's duel with Raphael in the Doma filler arc, where Raphael taunts him and claims that when Atem was a Pharaoh in ancient Egypt, he was an evil, bloodthirsty tyrant. Atem has total amnesia and knows nothing about his past except a couple of visions of himself battling his high priest and of his God Monsters towering over a ruined city, and the claim, therefore, strikes a nerve, making him so infuriated by the possibility that it's true that... he punishes Raphael by playing a magical evil card that will rip Raphael's soul from his body forever if he loses. Way to prove you're not a bloodthirsty tyrant there, Pharaoh! (Admittedly, he realizes how idiotic a move this was soon after, but by then it's too late.)
65[[/folder]]
66
67[[folder:Comedy]]
68* From one of Marcus Brigstocke's stand-up comedy routines:
69-->"Computer games don't affect kids. If ''VideoGame/PacMan'' had affected us as kids we'd be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music."
70* This is part of Creator/DennisMiller's routine. He starts by saying, "I don't want to get hooked on a rant here, but" and then does ''exactly that''.
71[[/folder]]
72
73[[folder:Comic Books]]
74* ''ComicBook/AstroCity'': Crackerjack laments that his on-and-off ladyfriend Quarrel is mad at him for flirting with other women, as he flirts with Nightingale.
75* ''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'': This is a minor RunningGag in Creator/DonRosa's works, where [[TheDividual Hewey, Dewey, and Louie]] respond to any suggestion that they look identical to each other by immediately speaking in unison to deny the claim, and generally behave in an identical manner.
76%%** WesternAnimation/DaisyDuck's reaction when [[WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck her boyfriend]] tells her that she needs to control her temper. Sure, Donald is the same, but his reaction to Daisy suggesting him to improve is better than hers. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample; what ''are'' their respective reactions?)
77* ''ComicBook/GrooTheWanderer'': Groo's [[RunningGag "What do you mean slow of mind?"]], said several pages after someone calls him slow of mind (once even to a flashback).
78* ''ComicBook/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast1992'': When Roam sniffs at Link's "immaturity," deriding all the crap he's been through, Link throws a tantrum. "I'll show YOU who's weak!"
79* ''ComicBook/MonicasGang'': Monica overhears Jimmy Five telling Smudge that she only settles things through force. She tells him that's a lie and that he'll be hit if he doesn't take it back.
80* ''ComicBook/TheSimpsons'': When Homer finds Abe teaching Bart how to surf, he asks why Abe never did that for him. Abe retorts that it's because he's got no attention span. Homer can't even finish objecting before getting distracted by a cloud that looks like a pork-chop.
81* ''WesternAnimation/StuntDawgs'': Badyear says that much upon being described as "an ox and a moron".
82* Ultra Magnus has a fine line of this in ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye''. He dislikes being called "irritable"; in fact, it really irritates him.
83* In one ''ComicBook/UsagiYojimbo'' story (which starts with an apology to the makers of ''ComicBook/GrooTheWanderer''), Usagi commends Gen's swordplay by commenting, "You may be slow of mind but you're quick with steel!" At the end of the story, Gen asks Usagi (while talking about something else) "And what did you mean, 'slow of mind?'"
84* In ''ComicBook/{{Wanted}}'', Wesley Gibson tries to give an EvenEvilHasStandards speech to psychotic [[TheHedonist hedonist]] [[ForTheEvulz Joker]] {{expy}} Mr. Rictus. [[InsultBackfire It doesn't work:]]
85-->'''Wesley Gibson:''' Enjoy your goat fucking, Mr. Rictus.\
86'''Rictus:''' ''[indignant]'' [[BestialityIsDepraved I don't fuck goats, Mr. Gibson, I make love to them!]]
87[[/folder]]
88
89[[folder:Comic Strips]]
90* From an August 2014 ''ComicStrip/AndyCapp'' strip:
91-->'''Marriage Counselor:''' Mr. Capp, your wife claims that you are often rude and outspoken. Why do you think this is?\
92'''Andy:''' Beats me, baldy.
93* ''ComicStrip/Blondie1930'': In one strip, Dithers jovially asks Dagwood if the rumor about him having mood swings is "the craziest thing you've ever heard"; when Dagwood reluctantly agrees with him (a white lie), Dithers goes berserk with rage.
94* ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'':
95** Calvin goes on a rant about how violence on television doesn't have any effect on the watcher and concludes with "I'd like to shoot the idiots that think this stuff affects me."
96** Calvin also rants about a television show which makes no sense. When Hobbes remarks that it's targeted at the average American's fifteen-second attention span, Calvin's response is only, "You're still talking about that?"
97** One Sunday strip is nothing ''but'' this trope. Starting a meeting of their club, G.R.O.S.S., Hobbes starts to read the minutes of the last meeting, which began with how he read the minutes of the previous meeting, followed by Calvin's "commentary on the editorial slant" of the minutes, and various technical terms to state, simply, that Calvin had lost his temper and called him a liar. Of course, as he's ''doing'' this, Calvin is ''again'' getting angry and calling him a liar, which results in a fight between the two. (And gives the reader the idea that club meetings between the two of them rarely ever result in anything but the two fighting.)
98* A couple of times in ''ComicStrip/DennisTheMenaceUS'', Gina will get offended by Dennis calling her a tomboy. She typically responds by slugging him.
99* ''ComicStrip/{{Foxtrot}}'':
100** Paige manages to do this trope in reverse:
101--->'''Paige:''' Mom, can I go see ''Film/InterviewWithTheVampire''?\
102'''Andy:''' No.\
103'''Paige:''' ''[crying]'' WAAAAAAAAAAH WHY NOT????\
104'''Andy:''' Because it's rated R!\
105'''Paige:''' C'mon, I'm mature enough.
106** Jason and Peter are discussing a study about how video games make kids violent... and then mention how much they want to strangle whoever wrote that.
107* ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'':
108** When Jon is on the phone with a woman:
109--->'''Jon:''' I'm immature?!! Well, excuse me, miss poopie head! ''[puts the phone down and sucks his thumb]''
110** Jon having a conversation with Garfield:
111--->'''Jon:''' Why don't you ever listen to me?\
112'''Garfield:''' Huh?\
113'''Jon:''' Why don't you ever agree with me?\
114'''Garfield:''' That's not true.\
115'''Jon:''' Why don't you show me any respect?\
116'''Garfield:''' I do...bonehead.
117** And on another occasion:
118--->'''Jon:''' Remember, Garfield, there is no greater failing than apathy.\
119'''Garfield:''' So what?
120** Another occasion that doesn't involve Jon:
121--->'''Garfield:''' Why does your sign say "Beware of Cats"?\
122'''Dog:''' Because CatsAreMean.\
123'''Garfield:''' Take it down or I'll beat you with it.
124* One homebrew ''ComicStrip/KnightsOfTheDinnerTable'' strip has Bob ranting about how he'd like to kill those media pundits who claim role-playing games promote violence.
125* ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'':
126** Lucy Van Pelt denying that anyone could ever dislike her:
127--->'''Lucy:''' I could see how someone would be jealous of me -- but dislike? No, that's just not possible!
128** Lucy does it again in [[http://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/2015/01/18 another strip.]] Charlie Brown is at her psychiatric booth talking about how people take advantage of him; for example, they start talking on and on and he can't bring himself to leave. This starts Lucy on a six-panel rant complaining about people who won't shut up.
129* One ''Women on the Edge'' strip has the caption "Show me what you're accused of, and I'll show you how you react". Each panel has a character partaking in this trope (childish: "I'm sowwy"; aggressive: "Shut up, idiot", co-dependent: "I'll stop for you!", etc).
130[[/folder]]
131
132[[folder:Fan Works]]
133* In ''Fanfic/BloodstainedHeroesOfHumanity'', Katsuki physically assaults a kid for saying that he wouldn't be a hero with his poor attitude. Then Katsuki beats the crap out of Izuku, who points out that he's proving the kid's point.
134* From ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'':
135-->'''Hobbes:''' Calvin, did you realize that [[MediumAwareness half of this episode]] is being used up with you screaming?\
136'''Calvin: ''[[NoIndoorVoice I'M NOT SCREAMING!]]'''''
137* ''Fanfic/TheChildOfLove'': In chapter 7, Shinji gets shot down by an Angel and Asuka goes ballistic:
138-->'''Asuka:''' Wondergirl! Move faster!!! DO SOMETHING, DAMMIT!!!!!!!\
139'''Misato:''' Calm down, Asuka!\
140'''Asuka:''' I'M CALM!!! THAT'S OBVIOUS, ISN'T IT!!?
141* ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'':
142** In the abridged version of DBZ movie ''[[Recap/DragonBallZAbridgedM3 Lord Slug]]'', Piccolo does some extremely savvy snarking at the QuirkyMiniBossSquad, pointing out the role and personality type of each. He finishes it with the following:
143--->'''Piccolo:''' ...and that would make ''you'' no doubt [[TheBrute the big, tough, stupid one]].\
144'''Dorodabo:''' You take that back or I'll kill you!\
145'''Piccolo:''' Alright, alright, [[StealthInsult you're not tough]].\
146'''Dorodabo:''' That's better!
147** Vegeta also has a case of this when he has a breakdown on Namek and starts arguing with the (possibly real, possibly hallucinatory) ghost of Nappa [[SpiritAdvisor that only he can see]]. The results are... interesting.
148--->'''Krillin:''' ...Are you... OK?\
149'''"Nappa":''' I think your rage broke, Vegeta.\
150'''Vegeta:''' SHUT UP, GHOST OF NAPPA!\
151'''Krillin:''' Who was tha--\
152'''Vegeta:''' I'M NOT CRAZY! YOU'RE CRAZY! ''ESPECIALLY'' YOU, NAPPA!
153** Another Vegeta example in "[[Recap/DragonBallZAbridgedE55 It's Been a Year If It's Been a Day]]" when Goku insults Vegeta [[ImStandingRightHere within earshot]].
154--->'''Goku:''' Alright now, Gohan. When you get out there, try not to brag. [...] Don't let slip just how much stronger we are. Otherwise, Vegeta will be all "Oh, but my pride! Grr, I wish ''I'' were a [[{{Malaproper}} carrot]]!"\
155'''Gohan:''' That's not ''in''accurate...\
156''[...]''\
157'''Goku:''' Oh, hey guys! What did I miss?\
158'''Vegeta:''' ''Mock my pride...!''\
159'''Goku:''' [[LampshadeHanging Huh, what'd I tell you?]]
160* ''Fanfic/FashionUpgrade'' (''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug''): Kim's version of Hawkmoth is a LargeHam PsychopathicManchild MoodSwinger prone to tears at the slightest insult. Gabriel's outrage over this brings him to the verge of a VillainousBreakdown, and he rejects Nooroo's concern over catching him crying.
161* ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheNightmaresOfFuturesPast'': Ron is impressed by Harry's ability to talk to Luna when she's upset, and wishes he could do the same with Ginny, but Ginny overhears them.
162--> '''Ginny''': What's not hard?\
163'''Ron''': Talking to you when you're mad about something, without getting hexed.\
164'''Ginny''': Ron, I do ''not'' go around -- how could you say such a thing? ''<while reaching for her wand>''
165* ''Fanfic/HouseOfSummers'': [[ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} Scott Summers]] isn't jealous. He's merely irritated by other men ogling to [[ComicBook/JeanGrey his wife]]. But he isn't jealous.
166-->'''Jean:''' Are you jealous, Scott?\
167'''Scott:''' Depends... are you into that southern charm that Guthrie seems to ooze out of his every pore?\
168'''Jean:''' You are jealous.\
169'''Scott:''' I'm not jealous! Guthrie is a green, eighteen-year-old... It's just a little frustrating when all these men are drawn to you like moths to a flame, and they can't see the glare behind my glasses.\
170'''Jean:''' I think it's sweet that you're jealous.
171* In ''Fanfic/HowTheLightGetsIn'', Laurel is suddenly and inexplicably resurrected, shocking everyone. Except for Diggle, who remains (outwardly) completely calm and controlled.
172-->'''Felicity:''' ''[freaking out]'' And you! Why are you so calm about this?\
173'''Diggle:''' ''[calmly]'' Who says I'm calm?
174* After Deku successfully heals All Might's internal injuries in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13067653/4/Izuku-with-a-strange-OP-healing-quirk Izuku with a strange OP healing quirk]]'', the Pro Hero starts to see him as a potential successor and wants to find out who he really is, but the hospital staff refuses to give out any of Deku's personal information due to dealing with crazy stalkers in the past.
175-->''Toshinori understood the boy's safety was important, but Toshi was not one of those crazy people they were protecting the kid from. All Toshi wanted to do was find out his real name, track him down, thank him from the bottom of his heart, buy him ice cream, bring him to [=UA=], get him accepted, make him a hero and possibly give him his quirk and his mantle... ...Okay, so maybe Toshi was sounding a bit crazy. It must be all the oxygen he was getting now.''
176* ''Fanfic/LegacyOfTheEnginseers'': Jack Slash hates it when people call him and the Slaughterhouse Nine "murder hobos", and will murder whoever said that and anyone else that happens to be nearby.
177* Occurs in ''Fanfic/MyMasterEd'' when Edward is trying to explain to Hohenheim [[KidFromTheFuture who he is]], but just keeps working himself up instead.
178-->'''Hohenheim:''' Ed, calm down.\
179'''Edward:''' '''I'M COMPLETELY CALM!'''\
180'''Hohenheim:''' [[SarcasmMode I can see that.]]
181* ''[[Fanfic/NewGamePlusOnePiece New Game Plus]]'': In Chapter 9, after Usopp complains about planning out their docking at Loguetown, and Nami points out that it's necessary since "a certain idiot decided to expand our operation", Luffy says this.
182* ''Fanfic/TheOneToMakeItStay'': During Miracle Queen's assault, Ladybug [[WhatTheHellHero calls Chat Noir to task]] for his attempts to blame all of their recent problems working together [[NeverMyFault on her]]. In particular, she points out how, despite his complaints that she doesn't treat him like her partner and equal, [[MoralMyopia he himself constantly ignores]] all of her efforts to work with him, refusing to listen -- especially when it comes to the matter of his [[DoggedNiceGuy constant flirting]]. He doesn't respect any of her requests for him to stop, and doesn't treat the other heroes with respect. His response to this is to completely ignore what she's saying and try to blame the argument ''he started'' on her, then lashes out at Viperion when he speaks up, proving her points.
183-->'''Chat Noir:''' You're completely out of control. ''We're'' supposed to be ''partners'', but then you go ahead and pick and get rid of teammates ''without'' me.\
184'''Ladybug:''' Maybe if you actually ''acted'' like a partner, and treated our teammates with respect, I would have given your opinion more consideration. Why is it that I have to entertain what you want, but when I tell you to back off and stop hitting on me, you get to act like ''I'm'' being unreasonable?\
185'''Chat Noir:''' Come on. [[NeverMyFault Are you seriously airing out our dirty laundry in front of everyone right now?]]\
186'''Viperion:''' If you don't want her to call you out, don't give her material to work with.\
187'''Chat Noir:''' ''[[[DeathGlare glaring at him]]]'' ''[[GreenEyedMonster Stay]]'' [[GreenEyedMonster out of this,]] ''[[GreenEyedMonster snake.]]''"
188* In ''[[Fanfic/TheDarwinChronicles Road Trip]]'', Logan angrily claims that he does not like Jean's pet dog as chiding Warren for petting Darwin wrong.
189-->'''Logan:''' I do not love the fucking dog. And I'm not his goddamn uncle. He's a fucking pain in my ass. He begs for food all the damn time — and you wanna tell me why you two starve the poor little guy? He's always hungry, and that chow you feed him tastes like shit — and he trashes my room and chews up my stuff and he's always fucking underfoot — and just how goddamn stupid are you, Birdbrain? Can't you see he wants you to rub his belly? Stop messing with his fucking ears, you simpleminded shit — and we'd all be a lot better off without the mutt, is what I'm saying.
190* In ''Fanfic/{{Sight}}'' Urahara's zanpakutou, Benihime, tells Ichigo not be vulgar so he would descend to his Hollow, Hakuran's level. Hakuran gets offended and proves her point.
191-->'''Benihime:''' I will when you learn to stop being so vulgar. Honestly, do try not to descend to your Hollow's level.\
192'''Hakuran:''' Oi, what's that supposed ta mean, bitch?!
193* Agent South Dakota seems to do this a lot in ''Fanfic/StressRelief''. One time, the Director calls her out on throwing a tantrum and she immediately denies it [[NotHelpingYourCase by throwing a tantrum about it]]. Even in the first chapter, when he says she keeps "acting like a goddamn [[PsychopathicManchild child]]", she goes off in a huff and tosses her helmet to the side.
194-->'''Agent York:''' ''[about the incident]'' [[NotHelpingYourCase Definitely not helping her case here.]]
195* An episode of ''WebVideo/TeenTitansTheAbridgedSeries'' includes this conversation.
196-->'''Robin:''' I think you should apologize [to Raven].\
197'''Beast Boy:''' Dude, she ruined breakfast! ''She'' should be the one apologizing!\
198'''Robin:''' I agree with you, but women are irrational creatures. It's why they always win arguments.\
199'''Starfire:''' I... am... not... '''''IRRATIONAL!''''' ''[bursts into tears]''\
200'''Robin:''' ''[to Beast Boy]'' Look what you made me do. Now go apologize to Raven while I deal with Starfire crying for the next three hours.
201* ''Fanfic/ThisBites'': Corto of the Amigo Pirates takes real offense to Cross goading him like a matador bull, by charging at him exactly like a bull, complete with snorting and pawing.

361* ''Literature/{{Dragaera}}'':
362** Paraphrased from ''Literature/{{Jhegaala}}'' -- after the hero Vlad, a former assassin and gangster, has been mistaken for a thug: "I hate when people do that. It makes me want to break their legs".
363** Kiera the Thief makes a similar comment in ''Literature/{{Orca}}'' to the effect that she hates when people think she's going to steal their purses and how it makes her want to rob them. From the context, it's not clear whether she finds the assumption offensive or ''amusing'' (and somebody staring at her worried about their purse a suddenly irresistible challenge).
364* In ''Literature/JohannesCabalTheDetective'' Leonie Barrow points out that Cabal thinks he's better than everybody else. Cabal dismisses this as absurd and then tries to think of someone he looks up to. He can't.

When Auðr comes into Thórðr's bed-chamber to get revenge, she is wearing breeches. %% Flagged for unclear formatting issues. "Thórðr" should be written "Þórðr", but that turns the passage between them into a Administrivia/WikiWord.
366* Pyp and Grenn have a habit of doing this in ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire''. One early example:
367-->'''Pyp:''' You're too stupid to be craven.\
368'''Grenn:''' I am not.\
369'''Pyp:''' Are too. If we ran into a bear in the forest you'd be too dimwitted to run away.\
370'''Grenn:''' I would not. I'd run faster than you. ...Hey!
371* In ''Literature/{{Spellsinger}}: The Day of the Dissonance'', Mudge utters the following line when Roseroar comments on his bad language: "I'll have you know, me elephantine kitten, that [[SophisticatedAsHell my language is as fucking refined as anyone's]]!"
372* In ''Literature/UnavoidableFamilyOuting'', the narrator fully expects this, and doesn't even bother to check if he's right.
373-->'''Sal:''' ''[about BRAD]'' There's no taming him – he hasn't even been fully house trained.\
374I didn't need to look over at BRAD. I knew that whatever he was doing, it would back up Sal's comment without question.
375* There are a few examples in the ''Literature/WingsOfFire'' series:
376** Tsunami responds to being told that she's about as "diplomatic as a rhinoceros" by shouting that "I CAN BE VERY DIPLOMATIC WHEN I WANT TO BE!" [[note]] the all-caps is reproduced from the original text [[/note]]
377** The following exchange between Qibli and Winter:
378--->'''Qibli:''' ''[imitating Winter's pretentious manner of speaking]'' Terribly undignified. We would never allow such higgledy-piggledy shenanigans in the Ice Kingdom.\
379'''Winter:''' Was that supposed to be me? Terribly unimpressive, if so. I haven't once said "higgledy-piggledy" in my entire life. We would never allow such linguistic imprecision in the Ice Kingdom.

410* ''Series/AustinAndAlly'': When Austin is telling the gang how they were fighting over the only ticket to his gig in "Tickets & Trashbags":
411-->'''Austin:''' And Ally... [[MotorMouth talked for a really long time.]]\
412'''Ally:''' I don't talk for a really long time! If anything, I talk for a ''normal'' amount of time! What is normal anyway?! Is my normal different from your normal which is different from Trish's normal?! Anyway, you were saying...?
413* ''Series/TheBarrier'': When offered tranquilizers by his daughter during a harrowing day, Luis snaps at her that he doesn't need them.
414* Subverted in the ''Series/Batman1966'' episode "Batman Displays His Knowledge", when Batman ponders whether the reported bad luck associated with a particular treasure (phrased as an "amusing old wives' tale") will hold true. Robin's reaction is shock that Batman, of all people, might believe in superstition.
415-->'''Batman:''' Me? Superstitious? Nonsense. ...Ah! Never walk under a ladder, Robin.\
416'''Robin:''' Batman, I'm surprised at you.\
417'''Batman:''' Not at all. There is a custom based on fact. The ladder could fall and hit you on the head. Or someone could slip and fall from the ladder. It doesn't pay to court disaster, Robin.
418* ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'':
419** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIAhPfNOiR8 Sheldon denies resembling C-3PO]] while making jerky, robotic head movements.

422--->'''Sheldon:''' You don't think I'm condescending, do you?\
423'''Penny:''' Well...\
424'''Sheldon:''' Oh, sorry. "Condescending" means--\
425'''Penny:''' I know what it means!
426** When the guys are trying to convince Sheldon he'd make a good professor:
427--->'''Leonard:''' This might not be that bad. You like telling people they're wrong.\
428'''Sheldon:''' Wrong! ''[{{beat}}]'' Just because I enjoyed that one doesn't mean I always do.
429* ''Series/{{Blackadder}} Goes Forth'', in "[[Recap/BlackadderS4E5GeneralHospital General Hospital]]":
430-->'''George:''' I have not got any uncles like that! Anyway, he lives in Walton-on-the-Naze.
431* ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'':
432** This:
433--->'''Rosa:''' You think I have an anger problem? I don't. You are both ''dead'' to me.
434** Also this, after Boyle discovers that Gina has been collecting what looks like blackmail information about all her co-workers:
435--->'''Gina:''' I'm not a blackmailer. If you tell anyone I am I'll release all your secrets.
436** And this from Rosa to Captain Holt when asked why she doesn't want to bring her girlfriend to meet him:
437--->'''Rosa:''' It's just that you can be a bit... judgmental.\
438'''Holt:''' What a stupid thing to say. Name one time when I've been judgmental.\
439'''Rosa:''' Okay.\

446--->'''Dawn:''' Why does everybody start acting all weird when I'm around?\
447'''Xander:''' ''[awkwardly]'' ...Me? Me not weird!
448%%* Meta example, many Current Affairs shows satirized by ''Series/TheChasersWarOnEverything'' aired "responses" to the criticism... which ended up proving all the Chaser team's criticisms completely right. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample; provide a more specific example)
449* A RunningGag in ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'' is Quico acknowledging his own stupidity, especially when he overhears people saying the word stupid or dumb, and asking if they're talking about him. There's one time when El Chavo suggested Quico that he should wish for himself to stop being dumb, he corrects El Chavo by stating he cannot wish for impossibilities.
450* ''Series/{{Cheers}}'':

724* During a Nemesis mission in ''VideoGame/ChampionsOnline'', you have to fight a villain named Scalpel, who takes umbrage to the Mayor's assessment that he is a sadistic psychopath, and threatens to "butcher and bleed him for that insult".
725* Non-spoken example in ''VideoGame/EvilGenius'': Jubei the rogue Samurai was denied martial arts training at his Dojo, because his Dojo masters feared he was too aggressive and lacked a sense of peace and tranquility. Enraged at them for making comments that he considered a stain on his honor, Jubei drew his katana and slaughtered the Dojo masters one by one, [[LampshadeHanging pausing only to reflect on the fact that maybe they had a point]].
726* Locke of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' reacts to a merchant calling him a thief (instead of a [[InsistentTerminology treasure hunter]]) by... stealing his clothes. [[SarcasmMode That's showing him, Locke!]]
727* In the Crimson Blaze route of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemWarriorsThreeHopes'', Edelgard declares war on Garreg Mach and the central church, using their habit of manufacturing hardships to offer freedom-limiting solutions to as justification and accusing the Archbishop of perverting the peaceful religion of Sothis. Cut to Rhea, who passionately says she'd like to murder Edelgard's entire army personally before remarking she has no patience for tyrants. Of course, like most things in the Three Houses/Hopes setting, [[GrayAndGreyMorality there's more to it]] than there appears.[[labelnote:Spoiler explanation]]Edelgard is absolutely correct that the central church has been limiting technological progress and manipulating the societal fabric of Fodlan to suit its own ends, but she's been drip-fed an extremely MetaphoricallyTrue reason for this that means she's striking out at the correct people in the name of her genuinely benevolent desire for reform, but doesn't completely know what she's saying. Meanwhile Rhea does genuinely consider humans second-class and expendable compared to herself and her fellow Nabateans, hence the manipulation, but this is in response to an ancient act of violence orchestrated by a single small group, information that she [[WrittenByTheWinners carefully suppresses]] to pad her authority, meaning Edelgard's rhetoric came off as ''extremely'' targetted; it's not until both sides are far too aggrieved to consider negotiations that Rhea even realizes all Edelgard wanted her to do was step down and probably would have been sympathetic to the whole story.[[/labelnote]]
728* In ''VideoGame/GrandiaII'', Ryudo offers Millenia a fruit which supposedly mellows out angry people. She naturally [[BerserkButton flies into a screaming rage at the suggestion]].

730* In one bit of inter-party dialogue in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'', Mission asks Bastila if she ever uses the Force for "fun", like making somebody trip if they're annoying her. Bastila acts highly offended and calls the idea "childish", which gets Mission angry enough to start insulting her. (Mission [[BerserkButton does not like to be called a child]].) Bastila trips her with the Force while she's in mid-insult, turns away, and smugly denies she has any idea what Mission is talking about.
731* ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'': At the end of the first TV spot for the game, one of the characters shouts, "I'll see peace back on Earth if I gotta murder every one of these animals with my own bare hands!" A less TV-friendly version can also be heard in the game under certain conditions ("I'll see peace back on Earth if I gotta murder every one of these bastards with my bare goddamn hands!").
732-->"For Chrissake, Francis, don't take God's name in vain."
733* ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'':
734** When Kelly Chambers enthuses over penitent assassin Thane Krios, a male Shepard can comment that "AllGirlsWantBadBoys". Kelly duly calls you out on using a filthy stereotype that just ''incidentally'' happens to be true in her case.

736--->'''Krogan 1:''' C-Sec won't let you into the Presidium?\
737'''Krogan 2:''' No, they say I'm a "risk".\
738'''Krogan 1:''' They say that about all krogan.\
739'''Krogan 2:''' Damn turians. We should kill them all.
740** If Shepard does not headbutt Gatatog Uvenk to shut him up, they'll instead tell him he's acting more like a Citadel politician than a krogan warlord. Uvenk's response involves more attempt at verbal wrangling, making him look like an idiot in front of his troops. So he storms off in a huff.
741* One fight intro between Franchise/{{Rambo}} and Mileena of ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'' has this exchange:

753* The Thraddash of ''VideoGame/StarControlII'' revere force to the point that they have semi-regular rebellions that attempt to overthrow the current "Culture" and install themselves as the new Culture. Among the history you can learn from them is the story of Culture 14, who believed that this system of violent revolution set the Thraddash's cultural and technological evolution back 500 years each time. They were wrong, as demonstrated only 10 years after they came to power, when the next revolution only set them back "two, three hundred years tops."
754* ''VideoGame/SenranKagura'': In the Gessen story route of ''Shinovi Versus'', Hibari ([[{{Womanchild}} very understandably]]) mistakes Minori for a child when they first meet. Cue the following exchange, which only makes that assumption look more credible:
755-->'''Minori:''' You're a meanie! I'm not a kid! I can even lick wasabi, a little! And I can have my coffee black!\
756'''Hibari:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint You take your coffee black? Seriously?]]\
757'''Minori:''' Yup! [[ByNoIMeanYes With LOTS of sugar and milk!]]\
758'''Hibari:''' Ha! I can drink it too if I do that! That's not even what black coffee means! ...You really are pretty much just a kid.\
759'''Minori:''' Oh, there you go again! You called me a kid again, you [[BigStupidDoodooHead meanie-pants]]!
760* In ''VideoGame/{{Tyranny}}'' during the "Final Judgement" mission, one of [[spoiler:Tunon's questions during the trial of the Fatebinder]] can be why you spend so much time standing around silently glaring at people.

761* ''VideoGame/Warhammer40000Darktide:'' One of the potential interactions between the operatives has the rowdy Loose Cannon call the Judge "loud", causing the latter to angrily shout at this accusation before realizing what they're doing.

765* The title character of ''VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney'' catches himself doing one of these at one point -- the Judge says "I'm not sure we could reasonably expect Mr. Justice to do anything delicately," and Apollo thinks "Hey! Why I oughta... take a deep breath and calm down."
766** The fourth case reveals that a much more serious example was going on in the background; 7 years ago, Zak Gramarye fired [[spoiler: Kristoph Gavin]] for being untrustworthy. Said individual proceeded to prove how untrustworthy he was by framing the next guy Zak hired for forging evidence (using a forgery that [[spoiler: Kristoph]] had originally intended to use himself) and later [[spoiler: going on to murder Zak himself]].
767* ''VisualNovel/C14Dating'': Melissa reacts to Deandre saying that she's pushy by shoving Deandre while claiming that she's not pushy. As Deandre himself points out, it only serves to make his case to the third person to whom he's talking.

769-->'''[[{{Tsundere}} Kisara]]:''' Nervous?! H-hmph! [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I-I-I-I'm not the type to get nervous]], and even y-you k-kn-kn-know that, right?\
770''The table shook and our coffee cups rattled.''\
771'''Tomoya:''' ...But you are nervous, aren't you?
772* In ''VisualNovel/TheFruitOfGrisaia'', we have this exchange:
773-->'''Yuuji:''' Stop talking. You are a complete simpleton.\
774'''[[ButtMonkey Michiru]]:''' Huh!? What's a simpleton...? A simple ton? A ton of what!? Aah! Stop playing games with my mind!!

787---->'''Weiss:''' I'm not bossy! Don't say things like that!
788*** During Port's class, Weiss fights a [[FullBoarAction Boarbatusk]]. Although Ruby tries to shout useful advice from the sidelines, Weiss keeps telling her off for getting involved because she's still smarting over Ruby being made team leader instead of her. After class, she admits to Port that she thinks she should be team leader and that she proved that in his class with her fighting skills. Port agrees that she has exceptional fighting skills, but that her big problem is that she has a very bad attitude. Weiss's immediate response to her own teacher's assessment is to tell him off for saying such a thing, thus proving his point.
789---->'''Port:''' All due respect, your exceptional skill on the battlefield is matched only by your poor attitude.\

945'''Leela:''' I can be really impulsive! It just takes me a while.
946* In ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'', a running gag is how Lanolin will always disagree with anyone who calls her disagreeable (particularly when the accusation comes from her brother, Bo). Should the accuser then give up and admit that Lanolin is not, in fact, disagreeable, she'll continue to disagree with them anyway. The greatest instance of the trope:
947-->'''Lanolin:''' I am not disagreeable, I have never been disagreeable, and any time you thought I was being disagreeable, ''you were wrong''!

949** In the "Voice Over" segment of "[[Recap/GravityFallsS1E14BottomlessPit Bottomless Pit!]]", Dipper gets annoyed when Soos and Mabel think his new, deeper voice sounds even weirder than [[InopportuneVoiceCracking his old "puberty voice"]], saying he sounds like "some weird commercial dude".
950--->'''Dipper:''' I'll find Stan. He'll like my new voice, you'll see! I'll be right back after these messages! ...I mean, goodbye.
951** Somewhat downplayed example, but when Mabel calls Pacifica a "one-dimensional, bleached blonde valley girl stereotype", she responds with a seething utterance of:
952--->'''Pacifica:''' [[LikeIsLikeAComma Like,]] let's do this.
953* ''WesternAnimation/TheHauntedWorldOfElSuperbeasto'' does this with Velvet Von Black. "What the fuck did you just call me? ''You're'' the one who's fuckin' coherent and shit!"
954* The ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'' episode "Doomates" has Johnny's mom put a V-chip in the TV to block out the programming she deems mindless garbage in order to prevent it from rotting Johnny's brain. Johnny retorts "Mindless garbage not rot brain."
955* Happens occasionally to the Flash in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', the first example being at the end of "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueS1E14And15TheBraveAndTheBold The Brave and the Bold]]":

959** In one episode, Kaeloo tells [[AxeCrazy Mr. Cat]] not to hurt [[NighInvulnerable Quack Quack]] in any way. Mr. Cat asks her why he would do such a horrible thing... while chasing Quack Quack with a giant hammer.
960** It's also become a RunningGag with Kaeloo herself. For example, in one episode, she blatantly yells "I never yell!"
961** One episode has the main four go for a job interview. In the waiting room, Mr. Cat (who is calmly reading a book) tells Kaeloo that she seems stressed. She responds by screaming "I HAVE NO REASON TO BE STRESSED!" in an extremely stressed manner and slaps the book out of his hands.

969* ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse2013'': In "Split Decisions", Mickey explains to Professor von Drake that Donald needs help with his anger management issues, saying "Donald's been blowing his stack at the drop of a hat!" Mickey interrupts Donald's protests by [[LiteralMetaphor dropping an actual hat, causing Donald to blow his stack.]]
970* In ''WesternAnimation/MiloMurphysLaw'', [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak Melissa]] mentions that her dad signed up for a big sisters/little sisters-type program out of a belief that she needed "more 'femergy'." When Zack says "I can see it," she punches him in the arm.
971-->'''[[DeadpanSnarker Zack]]:''' I take it back, you're a delicate flower.

973* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
974** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E5TanksForTheMemories Tanks for the Memories]]", Rainbow Dash would like to point out that she's not angry about Tank having to hibernate. At all.
975--->'''Rainbow Dash:''' WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT ANGER? I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ANGER! I'M NOT UPSET! AND I'M NOT ''ANGRY''! '''''[[https://derpicdn.net/img/view/2015/4/25/881880__safe_rainbow+dash_screencap_animated_angry_reaction+image_faic_tanks+for+the+memories_spoiler-colon-s05e05_rage.gif DO I LOOK ANGRY!?]]'''''
976** Chancellor Neighsay in "School Daze" is opposed to non-pony students as he believes that [[FantasticRacism they are dangerous, violent, and pose a threat to ponies]]. When he says this in front of them they respond with violent threats and even outright ''threaten war'' when their kids are unaccounted for. NotHelpingYourCase, guys.
977* In the ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' episode "[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbGreeceLightning Greece Lightning]]":
978-->'''Dad:''' Asperagus defeated [the Minotaur] using the head of Medusa, a creature so ugly she could turn men to stone with just one look.\
979'''Phineas:''' Kinda reminds me of Candace.\
980'''Candace:''' ''[making a face like Medusa's]'' It does ''not'' look like me!
981* This happens in ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'' episode "[[Recap/ThePowerpuffGirlsS2E6SlaveTheDayLosDosMojo Los Dos Mojos]]". When a bump on the head makes Bubbles think she's Mojo, the ''real'' Mojo is not happy at all with her impression of his EvilGloating, denying that he's like that at all. Of course, his words say differently:
982-->'''Bubbles:''' ''[imitating Mojo Jojo]'' I am not Bubbles! Bubbles is not who I am! I am the one, the only, single, solitary doer of dastardly deeds! Purveyor of pestilence! Interloper of lawlessness! Menace to mankind! I am bad! I am evil! I am Mojo Jojo! Hahahahahaha!\

988* In ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'':
989** Beth accuses Jerry of playing the victim:
990--->'''Beth:''' Oh here we go, right to the victim role.\
991'''Jerry:''' Am I a victim, Beth? Or am I married to a mean unfair monster that ''always hurts me''?!
992** Two newscasters having an argument in "[[Recap/RickAndMortyS4E1EdgeOfTomortyRickDieRickpeat Edge of Tomorty]]":
993--->'''Newscaster 1:''' You always do this!\
994'''Newscaster 2:''' I don't "always" do shit, don't gaslight me.\

999* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' uses this trope a lot. On one of the show's DVD commentaries, ''Simpsons'' writer Al Jean refers to this kind of gag as a [[http://zvbxrpl.blogspot.com/2006/01/stan-daniels-turn.html "Stan Daniels Turn"]], named after the late writer/producer Daniels, of ''Series/{{Taxi}}'' and ''Series/TheMaryTylerMooreShow'' fame.

1012**
