13	-->-- '''Forrest Gump''', ''Film/ForrestGump''
14
15	Basically, this is when enraged characters start throwing objects around to express their frustration. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin They're throwing a tantrum, and throwing objects in the process]]. Normally, this is done by very young children who are angry, though sufficiently angered grown teenagers and adults have also been known to do this, usually during an AngerMontage along with a good bout of PercussiveTherapy.
16
17	Not to be confused with just being about tantrums in general; the title is a pun.

32	* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': When Guts and Casca fall down a cliff into a river, he drags her unconscious body into a cave and has to [[UndressingTheUnconscious strip her down]] so she won't [[CatchYourDeathOfCold die of hypothermia]]. When Casca wakes up naked and realizes that it was Guts who [[UndressingTheUnconscious undressed her]], she has a NakedFreakOut and drives him out by throwing bits of their equipment and armor at him in a rather cartoonish fashion.
33	* Index throws things at Touma a number of times in ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'', often because of things that weren't really his fault to begin with.
34	* The novelization of ''Anime/CodeGeass'' says that Nunnally has temper tantrums and breaks stuff whenever Lelouch is gone, but doesn't remember doing so and is confused by the mysterious cuts on her hands. This behavior is exclusive to the novels and is apparently intended to further suggest how screwed up everyone in the universe is.
35	* ''Manga/DanceInTheVampireBund'': After an argument with Akira over some ethical compromises, [[note]]i.e. blackmailing a hostile politician with his five-year-old grandson's humanity[[/note]] Mina does not grab something off her desk and throw it across the room when he storms out. [[UndeadChild She]] grabs the (massive hardwood) desk and throws it across the room.
36	* ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'': Heiwajima Shizuo often throws [[SuperStrength impossibly heavy things]] when somebody makes him mad. Vending machines are pretty popular with him. He first discovered his super strength while attempting to throw a refrigerator at his brother.
37	* ''Anime/FreshPrettyCure'': In Episode 8, when Chiffon gets angry, she uses her psychic powers to throw books at Love.
38	* ''Manga/HanaukyoMaidTeam'' episode 13 (OVA). When Taro goes to talk to Grace, she asks what he wants. When he can't tell her immediately, she starts throwing things at him and tells him that if he doesn't want anything he should get out.
39	* ''Manga/MyMonsterSecret'' does it its own way: when Akane throws a tantrum, she doesn't throw little rocks. No, [[ColonyDrop she sends giant asteroids to destroy the Earth]], unless she's given candy or a good scolding by her great-granddaughter [[BadassTeacher Akari]].
40	* ''Manga/OnePiece'': The Pirate Emperor Big Mom is known for throwing epic tantrums whenever she gets a craving for a particular food, and can only be stopped when said food is given to her.

48	* A minor RunningGag in ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'' is that [[GoodIsNotNice Prowl]], normally almost Vulcan-like in his pragmatic but cold behavior, tends to lose his temper when pushed too far and [[FlippingTheTable flings the table]] in his office. Believe it or not, this becomes a ChekhovsGun; in a late issue of the series a massive switch needs to be thrown, and even a stronger Transformer like Fortress Maximus can't do it. Prowl is able to, however, and the panel is even drawn to look exactly like him flipping his table.

At one point, he throws a minute long tantrum ([[RapidFireComedy a rather long time considering how the humor of the film is paced]]) all the while juggling that poor chair. He manages to brain a poor robo-cop in the background with it by accident. Mind you, it was right after a police chase, so it seems he brings chairs around ''just'' to abuse them.
67	* There's a hilarious one in ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'' with Roxie hurling things at Metro Man, and since he's {{Nigh Invulnerab\|ility}}le he doesn't even blink as the stuff she throws keeps shattering against his face.
