10	A SuperTrope for when you just don't want to tick off a character. Bad things will happen, which can include:
11	[[index]]
12	* AngstNuke: The character explodes destructively out of sheer rage.
13	* AwakeningTheSleepingGiant: An entire group is roused from its neutrality and is ''not'' happy about it.
14	* BadMoodAsAnExcuse: When trying to talk out a person who isn't in the mood, only to get lashed out on.
15	* BerserkButton: When pissing off comes from a specific, minor thing the character is known to hate.
16	* TheBerserker: The character starts mindlessly attacking everything in his path.
17	* BewareTheNiceOnes: When a particularly nice character ''snaps'' in an exceptionally stressful situation.
18	* BewareTheQuietOnes: Ditto per the above, but for ''quiet'' characters.
19	* BewareTheSillyOnes: Ditto per the above, but for ''funny'' characters.
20	* BigBrotherInstinct: Don't mess with their little brother or sister if you value your safety.
21	* CantTakeCriticism: Goes apewire if criticized, even if the criticism is for something that ought to be criticized.
22	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Triggers superpowers.
23	* FisticuffProvokingComment: A statement--usually something insulting or offensive--that escalates a dispute between two characters from verbal to physical violence.
24	* HairTriggerTemper: When it's really hard ''not'' to piss a character off.
25	* HeroicSafeMode: When a heroic character has finally had enough, and decides to take things seriously.
26	* HulkingOut: Triggers InvoluntaryShapeshifting. [[CatchPhrase HULK SMASH!]].
27	* MamaBear: Don't mess with her kids if you know what's good for you.
28	* PapaWolf: Don't mess with ''his'' kids either.
29	* PersonOfMassDestruction: For characters who are at risk of becoming a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds.
30	* RelativeButton: The character gets pissed when his or her family is hurt or killed.
31	* RageBreakingPoint: The character doesn't want to get angry, but eventually loses it.
32	* SuperpoweredEvilSide: When a character's more powerful side is triggered by anger and rage.
33	* TemperCeratops: When a Ceratopsian dinosaur usually appears to be a docile animal... unless threatened.
34	* TemperateBerserker: TheBerserker who's intelligent enough to know when to remain calm and stay put... but is still a berserker when provoked.
35	* ThisIsUnforgivable: What the character may be thinking.
36	* TranquilFury: The character's ready to tear you apart in a seemingly calm manner.
37	* UnstoppableRage: The character gets righteously pissed and pulls out all the stops to take you down.
38	* VillainousBreakdown: What may manifest as a murderous fit of rage for the villainous character.
39	* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Mess with her man (or her girl), and you are going ''down.''
40	* WomanScorned: Do her wrong romantically, and you will ''pay''.
41	[[/index]]
42
43	It doesn't matter if the character is the hero, villain, supporting character, or bystander. Just don't piss off this character if you don't want any big trouble.
44
45	PsychoactivePowers can sometimes involve this. Related to EmotionalPowers.
46
47	Compare MadnessTropes and DontMakeMeDestroyYou. Contrast BlindedByRage, where, yes, you ''would'' prefer your opponent to be spitting nails, as they're easier to beat that way.

50	!!Examples:
51
52	[[foldercontrol]]
53
54	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
55	* ''Franchise/DragonBall'':
56	** Son Gohan. He is a happy-good-lucky kid and a dorky teenager. When he's mad and his friends and family are in danger, however, he ''will'' tear you a new one.
57	** His father, Goku, is almost as bad, especially when he was a kid. He is fun-loving, goofy, and playful even when he's fighting. When upset or angry, he tends to go on killing rages as a kid, something the Red Ribbon Army and King Piccolo found out. Frieza also learns what happens when Goku is angry and [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge it]] [[TranquilFury isn't]] [[SuperMode pretty.]]
58	** Piccolo is a [[TheStoic stoic]] most of the time. However, hurt, threatened to hurt, or, god forbid, kill Gohan and you really won't like him as he slices you in two as Babidi learned.
59	** Chichi. She makes the Saiyan squirm, and she's just a human...with a [[FryingPanOfDoom pan.]]
60	** Auta Magetta gets more powerful the angrier he gets and in battle will intentionally work himself up by striking his own head.
61	** [[MirrorUniverse Universe 6]]'s Kale is [[ExtremeDoormat meek]], but also a very [[ClingyJealousGirl emotional]], reluctant Saiyan girl who hates to disappoint her [[BigSisterMentor mentor]]/[[JapaneseDelinquent gang leader]], Caulifla. If she ever feels as if her relationship with Caulifla is threatened, or becomes consumed by her own self-hatred, she [[HulkingOut becomes]] her universe's [[DistaffCounterpart equivalent]] of Broly. She does [[CharacterDevelopment get better]] to control this aspect about her.
62	* Shizuo Heiwajima from ''Literature/{{Durarara}}''. Granted, it's generally in good form not to piss off people with SuperStrength in general, but this one is ''especially'' [[HairTriggerTemper easy to set off]]. He's basically the Hulk, except that he doesn't get big and green to give a visual cue to his anger-fueled super strength.
63	* Shinigami in ''Manga/SoulEater'', and his son Kid on a smaller scale. Yes, other characters cause greater damage than usual when angered, but these two spread it around more, whether to pyramids or an entire city.
64	* Manga/{{Naruto}} can give even the Trope Namer himself a run for his money in this department in his kyuubi forms.
65	* [[TheBerserker Natsu]] of ''Manga/FairyTail'' is an example of this, as the ''[[BerserkButton flame of emotion]]'' that is the source of power for his Dragon Slayer magic causes him to actually become stronger the angrier he gets.
66	** Erza Scarlet is another person you don't want to piss off.
67	** [[spoiler:[[TheDreaded Zeref]],]] too, even moreso. He may be a self-hating, emotional wreck who has some ''major'' guilt issues (and with good reason), but if you actually manage to anger him - say, by [[spoiler:forcing him to come out of his self-imposed exile and openly stating you want to use him to create a mage utopia]] - you'll see exactly [[CurbStompBattle how]] [[InstantDeathRadius he]] [[PersonOfMassDestruction earned]] [[OneHitKill his]] [[WalkingWasteland reputation]].
68	** [[DragonInChief Mard]] [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Geer]] of [[DarkIsEvil Tartaros]] normally comes across as TheStoic with an ever-present PsychoticSmirk across his [[{{Bishonen}} handsome]] face...but when Natsu, Sting and Rogue actually manage to give him some slight trouble, along with delaying of his plans and destruction of the Tartaros guild building, he finally decides to delve into some NotSoStoic territory...and gives one [[NightmareFace hell]] of a SlasherSmile to complete it, stating he hasn't felt angry in ''years''. [[CurbStompBattle Then he]] {{No Sell}}s [[CurbStompBattle everything they can throw at him while kicking their asses]].
69	* Yuuri from ''Literature/KyoKaraMaoh'' is [[AllLovingHero as nice as they come]]. However [[BewareTheNiceOnes if you start hurting innocent people or those close to him...]]
70	* Misty's Psyduck in ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' may count. It can only use its incredible Psychic attacks when it has a bad headache. (Which ''usually'' is a result of it becoming angry.)
71	* Luffy, from ''Manga/OnePiece'', is usually a happy-go-lucky type of guy, but if you so much as dare to hurt any of those he cares for, [[BewareTheNiceOnes you better have your testament ready]].
72	** [[PersonOfMassDestruction Whitebeard]] is a much straighter example. He might be jovial with conducting with fellow rival pirates and Marines, [[PapaWolf but]] you dare to nab/[[spoiler:kill]] ANY of his crew, you'll be at best hoping he and you never come face to face, or at worst, [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge you won't even have]] [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown any time to make]] [[TranquilFury yourself a makeshift tombstone.]] [[spoiler:Akainu found it the... ehm, easier way.]]
73	* Setsuna, from ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'', is a quiet and polite girl who prefers to stay in the background. Usually, she's really calm and composed even in the heat of battle. But don't, just don't you dare harm [[LesYay Konoka]] unless you want her to butcher you in split-seconds.
74	* Three words to be feared by ANYONE who [[MamaBear endangers her little boy]]: [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion Unit 01]].
75	* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', people would rather take on Yamamoto's bankai than piss off Captain Unohana. Considering her usual kind personality, it's mostly played for laughs. [[spoiler: As it turns out, she's completely psychotic and the worst criminal in the history of Soul Society. Yeah, that's not a good idea.]]
76	* In ''Manga/FullMetalAlchemist'', Roy Mustang, who is Colonel of the Central army, is quite a ladykiller, TheDitz and sometimes very weird. But... if you hurt a hair of his subordinates, well... there is a reason he's called the Hero of Ishval.
77	** Inverted with [[spoiler:Envy]]. Nearly every time someone enrages them they end up making ''really'' stupid decisions. When [[spoiler:they are lured into a trap by Zampano, they lose their temper and enter their unleashed form, thus giving Dr. Marcoh the opportunity to reduce them to SleepModeSize]].
78	* From ''Anime/{{Monster}}'', we have [[spoiler: Wolfgang Grimmer, who drew inspiration for his split-personality]] from [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk The Magnificent Steiner]].
79	* Vash the Stampede from ''Manga/{{Trigun}}''. He is an adorable goofball most of the time, but when he's really mad, he can throw a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.
80	* Meliodas from ''Manga/TheSevenDeadlySins''. He's a small, cheerful little pervert, and a pacifist by nature. However, there is a reason that out of his group, his [[SevenDeadlySins sin]] is wrath.
81	* ''Anime/SandsOfDestruction'' is full of people who are normally nice (or at least not murderous) but downright psychotic when angered. Both female main characters, Morte and Rhi'a, have {{Hair Trigger Temper}}s. [[spoiler:Once Kyrie Awakens, threatening to harm Morte - which is pretty much the only thing that gets a rise out of him, as he's so gentle otherwise - becomes ''extremely'' hazardous to your health.]]
82	** In one of the last episodes, Kyrie pleads with Morte not to fight Rhi'a because "that girl is really scary when she gets mad." Kyrie, which of the two were you talking to again?
83	* ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'': Bernkastel learned it the hard way after [[spoiler: mocking Lambdadelta's death in front of Battler and pissing him off to the point he gave her the beatdown of her life]].
84	* Any of the Inner Senshi from ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' can be dangerous when pushed, especially Minako Aino/Sailor Venus, the petite, light-hearted jokester who acts like a ditz. When Tiger's Eye and Hawk's Eye rightly accused Mina of two-timing them and subjected her to a MindRape that caused most victims to faint from exhaustion and agony (including other Senshi), she not only managed to stay conscious, she got angry enough to tear herself out of metal binds, transformed, and sent them running for their lives with a rage-fueled attack. In the manga, when she saw [[{{Protectorate}} Sailor Moon]] being strangled by Queen Beryl's hair, she gave Beryl a DeathGlare, and ran her through with a poison-infused {{BFS}} that is tougher than diamond.
85	* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'': [[Characters/MyHeroAcademiaKatsukiBakugo Bakugo]] fits this trope perfectly. His whole demeanor shows this. As the story progresses though, he learns to control it.
86	* In ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders'', Jotaro Kujo isn't the nicest person usually, but if you get him mad, he completely cuts loose. Just ask Steely Dan, who he pummeled for [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill twenty seconds]] before launching him through a building. The man himself put it best to [[spoiler:DIO's corpse]]:
87	-->'''Jotaro''': There's a reason for your defeat, [[spoiler:DIO]]. One simple reason. '''''You pissed me off.'''''
88	** His uncle ([[ImprobableAge it's complicated]]), [[Manga/DiamondIsUnbreakable Josuke Higashikata]], is normally one of the nicest, most friendly people you'll meet in Morioh Town... but [[BerserkButton talk shit about his hair]], and you'll quickly learn just how dangerous his Stand, Crazy Diamond, can be. Unlike Jotaro, [[ThouShaltNotKill Josuke absolutely will not kill, no matter what.]] [[AndIMustScream He'll do worse.]]
89	** ''Manga/GoldenWind'': To any onlooker, Vinegar Doppio is an unassuming young man who's friendly to all he meets. But then you make him stressed or angry... [[spoiler:and [[SplitPersonality Diavolo and his Stand King Crimson]] make themselves known.]]
90	* Zekka from ''Manga/BattleAngelAlita'' is a pretty good-natured and affable guy. Just don't get on his bad side. [[LawOfDisproportionateResponse AND DO NOT TOUCH ZEKKA'S BIKE]]. Bad things will happen. Sechs learns this the hard way.
91	* In ''Manga/LandOfTheLustrous'', Alexandrite goes completely nuts when looking at a Lunarian. Because of this Sensei has forbidden them to participate in battles.
92	* In ''Anime/SamuraiFlamenco'', Masayoshi is ''way'' more terrified of his manager than the criminals he fights, purely based on how she looks and talks when she's angry.
93	* Chizuru Aizawa from ''Manga/SquidGirl'' is usually sweet, kind, and cheerful. But if you menace her family or damage her business, the beach shack Lemon, she will go into TranquilFury mode and [[EyesAlwaysShut open her eyes]], then proceed to [[CurbStompBattle Curbstomp you.]]
94	[[/folder]]
95
96	[[folder:Comic Books]]
97	* Named after ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'':
98	** Bruce Banner is the original Hulk and uses this line to warn people of his HulkingOut ability. [[TemptingFate It doesn't always work.]]
99	** You don't want to piss his cousin ComicBook/SheHulk off, either. Once ComicBook/{{Thanos}} orchestrated a situation where his brother was held for trial and sent his clone with modified memories to convince everybody it was he who made Thanos fall in love with Death, thus making him responsible for all of Thanos's crimes. She-Hulk traveled into the clone's mind to discover it was a lie and that he did all of it not because of revenge, but for pure entertainment. It didn't go well for the clone.
100	** His daughter Lyra is actually an inversion. Having been engineered to get 'weaker' the angrier she gets as a means of control, Lyra is the one Hulk you 'would' like when she is angry.
101	* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'': Clark is one of the nicest guys in the universe. But if someone gets him angry, they find out just how powerful he really is. It says a lot about Lex Luthor that he intentionally does things ''[[{{Troll}} just to piss Superman off]]''.
102	* ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'': Kara is a nice, kind, compassionate girl. She is also HotBlooded, short-tempered, brash and has little patience for fools and jerks. ''God help you'' if you piss her off -- which ''will'' happen if you hurt her family. In ''ComicBook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'' she flew off the handle and became a Red Lantern, and an onlooker said a Kryptonian wearing a Red Lantern Ring "is an extinction-level threat".
103	* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'':
104	** Peter Parker is normally nice, friendly, and the worst he'll do is embarrass you a little. But heaven help you if you've hurt someone he loves. You'll need it. The way you can tell that Spidey is really angry is when he ''[[TranquilFury stops talking]]''. One short story has a romantic couple lost on the streets of New York and attacked by a gang. Spider-man shows up midway through, swatting the guys away, making quips, then sees the man being held hostage with a knife to his throat. Spidey gets real serious and gives the hostage-taker ''one chance'' to drop the knife, or the hostage taker will not be walking out of that alley. The hostage-taker wisely drops the knife, and true to his word, Spidey goes easy on him.
105	** The criminal underworld is well aware, and this works to Spidey's advantage at times, even when he doesn't intend it. Once, he comes upon the Headmen who are up to trouble and hangs quietly from the ceiling -- the lack of wisecracks makes the Headmen freak out and ''immediately'' surrender in fear. When the cops show up, we learn why Spidey has been so quiet -- he has laryngitis and lost his voice.
106	* ''ComicBook/{{Venom}}'': Flash "Agent Venom" Thompson; when he's in control, he's a heroic by-the-book soldier, who often ignores his current mission in order to protect innocents. Get him angry (or worse - hurt those innocents), and he'll break your bones, scare you to death, and ''then'' [[IAmAHumanitarian bite your head off]].
107	* ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'': Despite his codename of "Hulkling", Teddy Altman is one of the kindest, most even-tempered guys you'll ever meet; he's even described as being "all sweetheart". Of course, that's assuming you don't threaten his boyfriend, Billy Kaplan. Teddy outright pulled this trope on Captain Rogers (from ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'') in Billy's defense.
108	-->'''Teddy:''' Captain, I understand you're concerned about Billy's powers. But if anything happens to him... your primary concern should be ''me''.
109	* ''ComicBook/TheWalkingDead'': Rick Grimes. He says this to Dwight in issue 169, as the latter has verbally stated his displeasure at the former being Alexandria's leader. Keep in mind that [[spoiler:Rick had recently lost his SecondLove]].
110	-->'''Rick:''' I have a rage boiling inside of me. At times like this it's really hard to control and it wants out. Don't give me a reason to let it out, Dwight. Because at this point... '''what's one more fucking grave?'''
111	[[/folder]]
112
113	[[folder:Fan Works]]
114	* ''Fanfic/{{Alicorn}}'': A pair of parallel scenes in chapter 11 shows that if there's one thing Celestia and Rainbow Dash have in common, it's that they're damn scary when they're angry. The people they're angry at are both described as feeling small and terrified in the face of a sun goddess' and her daughter's wrath, the narration describing their eyes as ''literally'' burning with rage and likening Rainbow's mannerisms to a savage wolf attacking its prey.
115	* In chapter 59 of ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'', Bruce Banner quotes the page quote almost word for word. More generally, Jean, Thor, and Harry are particular examples of this trope (though it applies to a lot of the cast).
116	** Jean is [[spoiler: (with her twin sister, Maddie)]] the strongest human psychic ever born and for all her sweet nature you do ''not'' want to make her angry. There are ''armies'' of dead demons that show how bad an idea this is.
117	** Thor is a generally even-tempered and friendly cool dad-type... until he's pushed over the line and reminds people that he's also a 1500-year-old warrior god who could quite conceivably shatter the planet and at one point snaps into an UnstoppableRage and beats the Juggernaut to a pulp with his bare hands (and nearly destroyed the Eastern Seaboard as a side-effect).
118	** Harry is an AllLovingHero at heart (if a KnightInSourArmor for a large chunk of the sequel and on the dark end of GoodIsNotNice), who genuinely wants to help people as much as he can - though he later modifies this to 'only those who want to be helped'. He is also the only psychic even in the same weight-class as Jean [[spoiler: (and Maddie)]], equally powerful with his magic, and [[spoiler: a latent Phoenix host]], as well as having a creatively nasty streak when someone hurts an innocent. See, injuries to him, he can forgive. Injuries to someone he cares for? If you're lucky, he'll kill you.
119	* In ''Fanfic/ThisBites'', Soundbite parodies this trope in his response to Su's punishment for him teasing [[spoiler:the human Merry]].
120	-->'''Soundbite''': "PUT ME DOWN! You wouldn't like me when I'm revengening!"
121	* Chapter 2 of ''WesternAnimation/CelebrityDeathmatch'' Fic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/21447313/chapters/51126568 Final Stand of Death]]'' has Spur ([[spoiler:Emma]]) erupt into a violent rampage when Music/Blink182 started to taunt her with chainsaw noises. Redd ([[spoiler:Music/MelanieC]]) runs to the area and saw the aftermath, while the rest of Fusion Gundam ([[spoiler:Music/SpiceGirls]]) arrived. It was clear one of the simplest rules when it comes to Spur ([[spoiler:Emma]]), Don't get her angry!
122	* It has been implied in ''Fanfic/CatchYourBreath'', whether by thoughts or by reactions of certain characters, that pissing off Kushina is a supremely bad idea.
123	* In ''Fanfic/HellsisterTrilogy'', [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kara]] is as kind-hearted as temperamental. And she can bring a mountain down with a single punch. Threaten innocent people or hurt her family and even if you were ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} himself she'll do her best to beat you to a bloody pulp.
124	* Guile from ''Fanfic/{{Fellowship}}'' is a nice guy, and nicer if you're being nice to him. But if you push his berserk button? He will pulverize you.
125	* ''Fanfic/KaraOfRokyn'': The titular hero is very forgiving towards people who hurts ''her''. Hurt ''someone else'', though, and you'll be pummelled to the ground. Abuse a woman and her little child and she'll not even feel sorry about the beatdown she'll deliver unto you.
126	-->'''Kara:''' "So you feel like using super-strength on a normal woman and her child. I don't have the slightest regret about what I'm about to do."
127	* ''Fanfic/InnerDemons'': Since the Grendals are demonic personifications of wrath, they get stronger the angrier they get, making it all the harder for the heroes to take them down.
128	* In ''Fanfic/AForceOfFour'', U-Ban attempts to rape ComicBook/PowerGirl and he's savagely beaten down.
129	-->She reproved herself for not having a snappy comment as she smashed him in the face with her right, but, after all, she'd been under a little stress lately.\
130	Kara didn't stop pounding. The knuckles of her right hand acquainted themselves with U-Ban's face again and again and again. Through main effort and determination, he struggled to bring his own hand up. She slapped it away and kept pounding and pounding and pounding. When her right got tired, she took hold of him with that hand and let her left get in some work. There was no time lost in any of these operations. To U-Ban, it was just the same fist hitting him in the face over and over, like a piston from a top-notch but antique Kryptonian motor.
131	* ''Fanfic/ProjectTatterdemalion'': Isshin and Kisuke. Especially Kisuke. The characters eventually conclude that this is because they're the least familiar with violence out of the shinigami. Although they've always had very fierce tempers that they fear and restrain, they have also never been in killing fights before... or even exposed to blood much. Consequently, they have less control over their "others" (zanpakutous/amplified survival instincts) than those with some military training.
132	* In ''Worm'' crossover story ''Fanfic/EchoesOfYesterday'', Kara's as strong as hot-headed, she can't stand bullies at all, and has been known to hurl trucks at Nazis. She may be the most kind-hearted person in the setting, but get her pissed off and she'll curbstomp you.
133	* In ''Fanfic/LoserWearsADressHarukisWorries'', the line is quoted almost verbatim by Haruki as a way of warning Kaeko to stop making fun of him after the latter makes the mistake of erroneously calling him gay.
134	* ''Fanfic/TheRigelBlackChronicles'': Being [[AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength afraid of what she could do]] has led Harry to keep a very tight lid on outbursts of accidental magic throughout her childhood -- ''usually''. When she gets properly angry or afraid, though, her magic responds.
135	** [[spoiler: Lee Jordan]] is repeatedly flung into a wall, breaking bones and being knocked out, after he [[spoiler: states his intention to permanently ruin the nerves in her hands]].
136	** [[spoiler: Peter Pettigrew]] is all but crushed into the ground, despite his shields, even before [[spoiler: the Dominion Jewel gives up on him as a holder and consumes his life force]].
137	* [[Manga/LoveHina Shinobu]], [[ShrinkingViolet of all people]], suddenly becomes an example in ''Fanfic/TheBeastThatIAm'' after gaining the power to transform into [[ComicBook/SheHulk Jade]].
138	* In ''Fanfic/ALoudAmongDemons'', Lincoln is a NiceGuy who wants to see the good in everybody he meets. However, he grows violent whenever he gets angry, due to a curse inflicted upon him [[spoiler:in addition to the implications that his soul is becoming corrupted as a result of being trapped in Hell]]. What makes this notable is that Lincoln almost never gets angry, so the moments where he does stand out.
139	[[/folder]]

141	[[folder:Film - Animated]]
142	* ''WesternAnimation/EscapeFromPlanetEarth'': Make no mistake. If you make Io angry, she'll flex her muscles like ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk, and then beat you up like a Wrestling/{{WWE}} superstar.
143	* ''WesternAnimation/PussInBoots'': "Tsk, tsk, tsk. You have made the cat angry. ''You do NOT WANT to make the cat angry!''"
144	* ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretLifeOfPets'': When Max starts grumbling about him, Duke looms over him menacingly and says that if they don't get along, it won't be pretty.
145	-->'''Duke''': Are you trying to get rid of me?!\
146	'''Max''': ''(nervously)'' Before I answer that, I'd like to know how much you heard.\
147	'''Duke''': So ''that'''s how it's gonna be, huh? Oh, man, are you making me angry! And when I get angry, I do this! ''[growls]'' And I hate doing that! I need this place! And if it's gonna come down to you or me, it's gonna be ME!
148	* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', if you think Ming is an overbearing mom and authoritarian, ''you've seen nothing'' until her [[spoiler:massive kaiju red panda]] comes out to play. As the film implies, she's lost control through hitting her RageBreakingPoint three times. The first time happened in her late teens when she felt she could never be perfect enough for her strict mother, only relenting [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone when she scarred her mom's face]]. The second time, when her mom pulled a ParentalMarriageVeto against Jin, the man she wanted to marry, had Ming destroy half the temple. The beast was only subdued when Wu begrudgingly consented to the wedding. And of course, the third time happens when [[spoiler:Mei openly defies her to go see 4*Town, resulting in an angry Ming tracking Mei down and trashing the stadium where the concert is being held. Eventually, [[HumanCannonball Mei is able]] to knock her out cold, but it takes all the red pandas present to reseal the raging spirit.]]

151	[[folder:Film - Live-Action]]
152	* ''Film/CitySlickers'', when Curly is being buried. The cook can only think of ''"Lord, we give you Curly. Try not to piss him off."'' as a eulogy.
153	* Making Franchise/{{Godzilla}} angry is a very, ''very'', '''VERY''' bad idea. Doing so will result in a major city (often Tokyo) being destroyed.
154	* ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'': It's a bad idea to anger [[Creator/TimCurry Dr. Frank N Furter]]. Eddie and Janet had to learn this the hard way.
155	* The documentary (read: hour-long advertisement) available on the Extended Edition [=DVD=] for ''Film/{{Underworld 2003}}'' featured a self-proclaimed werewolf who named this trope exactly.
156	* ''Film/{{Hulk}}''. Talbot is roughing up Bruce Banner, causing him to growl, "Talbot, you're making me angry!" before HulkingOut. At the end of the movie, the complete line is given as a PreAssKickingOneLiner.
157	* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse:
158	** The 2008 ''Film/{{The Incredible Hulk\|2008}}'' film. Bruce Banner attempts to say his catchphrase in Portuguese, but he accidentally says "hungry" instead of "angry" and proceeds to fight as normal. In the novelization, he says it to two college girls who just laugh at him, since the phrase is full of {{Narm}}. However, the film did also have a variation on the phrase which was pretty good.
159	---> "There are aspects of my personality that I can't control, and when I lose control, it's very dangerous to be around me."
160	** ''Film/{{The Avengers\|2012}}'' has an interesting subversion. Tony and Bruce have an entire subplot that consists of Tony trying to convince Bruce that being the Hulk is a "terrible privilege" rather than a curse. Bruce disagrees and keeps insisting that he doesn't want to Hulk out, not even to help the Avengers fight Loki, because he can't control it. The end of their scene in the laboratory features what could be interpreted as a loose variation of the original line.
161	--->'''Tony:''' I guess we'll find out.\
162	'''Bruce:''' You might not like that very much.\
163	'''Tony:''' Yeah, and you just might.\
164	(''later, after Bruce accepts his situation'')\
165	'''Steve:''' Dr. Banner? Now might be a really good time for you to get angry.\
166	'''Bruce:''' That's my secret, Cap. I'm ''always'' [[TranquilFury angry]].
167	* ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'': Harrison, of course, but Sulu also gives such a dire threat in a mission that Bones is unnerved by it.
168	-->'''Bones:''' Mr. Sulu, remind me never to piss you off.
169	* From ''Film/{{Serenity}}'':
170	-->'''The Operative''': Do you know what your sin is, Mal?\
171	'''Malcolm Reynolds''': Ah hell, I'm a fan of all seven. But right now? I'm gonna have to go with ''wrath''.
172	* Don't pull a gun on Mongo from ''Film/BlazingSaddles'', you'll just make him mad.

175	[[folder:Literature]]
176	* In ''[[Literature/{{Nightside}} A Hard Day's Knight]]'', John and Suzie use their own variant to intimidate an uncooperative laundromat employee:
177	-->'''Shotgun Suzie:''' You really want me to get cranky?\
178	'''John Taylor:''' You wouldn't like her when she's cranky.
179	* In ''The Fairy's Mistake'' from ''Literature/ThePrincessTales,'' Ethelinda substitutes Myrtle (who has snakes and insects come out of her mouth) for Rosella (who produces jewels). Myrtle as Rosella tells the GoldDigger prince that the snakes and insects come out of her mouth when she's angry, which gets him to start treating Rosella better.
180	* In ''Literature/LegacyOfTheForce'', Luke gives Jacen a quote almost identical.
181	* ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'':
182	** Harry Dresden. Most of the time, as [[BadassNormal Karrin]] [[WillTheyOrWontThey Murphy]] notes, he's basically an oversized nerd who hunches slightly, speaks softly, and never meets anyone's gaze, as if apologising for his size (and, in the latter case, looking to avoid a Soulgaze), who cracks terrible jokes and does odd things. Then, someone makes the mistake of harming an innocent, someone under his protection, or, worst of all, someone he loves. After that, he opens his body up to his full height (nearly seven feet and he isn't exactly stick thin either...) and thunders spells in a voice that can be heard 'from the other end of a football field' as he turns the fundamental powers of the universe into his personal plaything and unleashes them on whoever's pissed him off. It's a sight that is described as intimidating on an evolutionary scale, and usually results in a trail of destruction featuring any number of dead monsters, some [[PhysicalGod godlike in their powers]] and usually at least [[DestructiveSaviour one burning building.]] And if you've taken [[spoiler: his daughter]], he will find you and he will [[spoiler: commit genocide]]. You can pray to God, but he won't help you - [[CelestialParagonsAndArchangels his]] [[ChurchMilitant agents]] are more than likely to be backing Dresden up.
183	** Michael Carpenter is noted as an extremely nice and kind man who has time for everyone, even trusting his best friend with his family when he thought that said best friend [[spoiler: was partially possessed by a FallenAngel]]. He is also only a couple of inches shorter than Dresden, putting him at around two metres tall, he's got muscles to spare and if you offer him violence, or worse, threaten his family, he can and will kick the crap out of you. In fact [[spoiler:he nearly beat a man to death for putting a bomb on his daughter, and the bomber claiming it was in God's Will. Only Harry calling Michael out and saying if the man needs to die, let Harry do it, does Michael relent]].
184	** Ebenezer [=McCoy=] is one of the weakest members of the Senior Council. That said, the man is Harry's second mentor and Archmage-tier power. He is such a dangerous combat wizard, a professional assassin Harry hires to help with a job gets one look at Eb, who was there to help Harry too, and tries to run. Eb gets his gun and takes aim. It is revealed [=McCoy's=] reputation is well-deserved because [[spoiler:he is the personal assassin of the Senior Council, with full authority to break the laws of magic should adhering to them make the consequences even worse for the world]]. Against a vampire noble who tries to kill Harry in a duel by cheating, [=McCoy=] [[spoiler:drops an old Soviet satellite onto the vampire's house, killing him and everyone in the impact zone]].
185	* ''Literature/OutOfTheDark'': Buschevsky when discussing the scenario of nearby villages selling them out to looters to save themselves.
186	-->'''Stephan Buchevsky:''' If their kids start starving, then any parent worth a single solitary damn is going to do anything it takes to feed them. I understand that, and I'll give any kid the last slice of bread I've got. But if any of those other enclaves out there decide to sell us out, or throw us to the wolves to save their own asses by pointing somebody who comes after what they've got in our direction—or if they're stupid enough to try and use your agreement just to get close enough to us to hit us themselves—then I'm going to be really, really unhappy, you understand. And they won't like me when I'm unhappy. Hell, I don’t like me when I'm unhappy!
187	[[/folder]]
188
189	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
190	* The [[TropeNamers Trope Namer]] is ''Series/{{The Incredible Hulk\|1977}}'' TV series, and its classic implied threat, delivered with a wonderfully understated and grim bemusement. And it's actually said ''before'' he becomes the Hulk.
191	-->'''Banner:''' Mr. [=McGee=], don't make me angry. You wouldn't ''like me'' when I'm angry.
192	* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': Rage is ultimately the source of Tywin's ruthlessness. With both the Red Wedding and the rebellion of House Reyne, he has proven that anyone who even considers attacking or resisting him will be terminated with extreme prejudice. When one considers how his father's kindness and benevolence was abused and mocked while Tywin himself grew up this makes some sense.
193	* In ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', you really, ''really'' don't want to make [[spoiler:Davis Bloome]] angry. If you actually hurt Chloe in front of him, HaveANiceDeath.
194	** Pissing off Clark is generally a bad idea as well. He won't kill you, but he can and will make you wish that he had.
195	* It's been said in later episodes of ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' that it's best not to piss Jack off. Take into mind this line from the ''[[Series/TorchwoodChildrenOfEarth Children of Earth]]'' miniseries (spoken by his daughter to the government spooks who just arrested her and her son):
196	-->'''Alice''': I can only assume you're using us as hostages against my father - but if you've done anything to anger him, then God help you.
197	* Ross on "Friends" and Chandler to an extent.
198	* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
199	** You ''really'' don't want to piss off the Doctor. That seemingly harmless oddball can tear the heavens apart and reshape reality if he really wants to. There's a ''reason'' the Daleks, a race of {{Omnicidal Maniac}}s capable of wiping out all life in the universe, hate and fear him so much. They have no emotions, and they invented a number of names to call him by: the Destroyer of Worlds, the Bringer of Darkness, the Oncoming Storm, and the Predator.
200	** Ditto River Song. Sarcastic, teasing, likes to banter...and can make a ''[[HorrifyingTheHorror Dalek]]'' beg for mercy. Just... don't make her go there.
201	** Similarly, in the prequel to "A Good Man Goes to War":
202	--> "...I even hear rumours about whose child you've taken. Are you ''mad''? [Pause] You know the stories about the Doctor? The things that man has done? ''God help us if you've made him angry!''"
203	-->(''from the actual episode'')
204	-->"If that man has started calling in his debts, then God help you... and God help his debtors."
205	** Surprisingly enough, Rory Williams. He is usually a kind, sweet, and gentle guy who plays OnlySaneMan to Amy and the Doctor. Kidnap his loved ones? Prepare to have [[OlderThanHeLooks the]] [[Really700YearsOld Last]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Centurion]] blow up your star-fleet.
206	* It is also best to not piss Jack from ''Series/TwentyFour'' off.
207	* Let's just say that the last time someone crossed [[Series/{{Lost}} Ben]] [[AffablyEvil Linus]] it didn't [[NoHoldsBarredBeatDown end well...]]
208	* Also, [[NotSoStoic pissing off]] Spock from ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' would be more than illogical. It's very hard to do, but once you manage it, ThisIsGonnaSuck doesn't cover your fate.
209	** On a related note, Data (without the emotional chip) is literally impossible to piss off. However, if you threaten him with harming his friends, you'll face a superintelligent, super-strong, nigh-indestructible android who has decided that ''removing you from existence is the completely logical solution under the current circumstances.''
210	** Sisko spends most of his time, at least in the early seasons, coming across as surprisingly mellow...because he keeps his temper on a very short leash, and when it comes out to play things get broken. The most ''constructive'' thing he did when furious was to design a ship solely for the purpose of killing things.
211	** Most of the time Q is a jovial TricksterGod who, while he messes with the crew of the ''Enterprise'', never really means to cause permanent harm. However, the one time Captain Picard mocked Q's offer of help in dealing with the unknown dangers of the galaxy and displayed unmitigated arrogance about the Federation's readiness, Q proceeded to throw the ''Enterprise'' seven thousand light-years away from home and into the path of [[TheDreaded the Borg.]] For the remainder of the episode, Q reminds the crew and the audience that he is essentially an old god who values the lives of the ''Enterprise'' crew only at his leisure.
212	* ''Series/{{Angel}}'':
213	** Inverted rather amusingly in "[[Recap/AngelS02E04Untouched Untouched]]" when a woman offers to "[[UnusualEuphemism make him happy]]". Angel responds that "You won't like me when I'm happy", as the last time he made love he turned into the evil Angelus -- he's under a curse that will make him lose his soul if he experiences a moment of perfect happiness.
214	** In "[[Recap/AngelS02E06GuiseWillBeGuise Guise Will Be Guise]]", another woman finds her warlock father intends to offer her as a VirginSacrifice. When he uses this trope, she snaps back in SarcasmMode, "No, because then you might do something ''bad!"''
215	* ''Series/LawAndOrderUK''
216	-->'''DS Matt Devlin'''(to suspect): "Come on, man. Don't make me play "bad cop"".
217	-->'''DS Ronnie Brooks''': "You wouldn't like him when he plays "bad cop"".
218	** Fans of the show know that's not an idle threat. Throughout the show, watching a BadassAdorable NiceGuy like Matt play "Bad Cop" during interrogations was chilling.
219	* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'':
220	** Dean Winchester. Guy hunts monsters, Demons, Vampires and etc. by cutting off their heads or burning them to death, since regular means like bullets won't work (unless it's rock salt or silver). He was trained in firearm, cold weapons, and martial arts by his ex-marine father since he was a small child, and was tortured and taught to torture others in Hell ''(literally)''. The idea is trying to save as many human people as possible, so there's a huge no-no on killing humans, and he's the best damn Hunter you've got, at least in the USA. But when you hurt or kill someone he loves, it doesn't matter if you're a monster or a human. He gets really angry if someone hurts his brother. Like [[spoiler:poor Charile, who was killed by the Stynes in season 10. The Stynes (a hole family of creeps — but still somewhat ''human'' creeps)]] found out not too soon later that pissing off Dean Winchester is a bad, bad idea.
221	** Likewise [[TheStoic Castiel]], who will accept a ''lot'' of crap thrown his way and weather it patiently, but once he reaches RageBreakingPoint, the target of his fury is doomed. When [[spoiler:Dean decides to say yes to Michael]] in season five, the angel snaps and he [[CurbStompBattle beats the snot out of the other man]] in what is arguably the angriest he's been in the entire series.
222	* ''Series/PersonOfInterest''. After being captured in "Mors praematura", Root delivers this trope on behalf of the Machine, the ArtificialIntelligence that she serves and [[MachineWorship worships as God]]. Harold Finch hits right back with an ArmorPiercingQuestion.
223	-->'''Root:''' You're going against the Machine's wishes by keeping me here, Harold. You're only gonna make her angry. [[DeusEstMachina Can you imagine what a being that powerful will do when she's angry?]]
224	-->'''Finch:''' How can you be so certain, Ms. Groves, that the Machine does not wish you to be precisely where you are?
225	* Parodied, if not subverted, in the promotion for the live-action debut of the TropeNamer's cousin, as the tagline for ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'' is "You'll like her when she's angry". (after all, it's not an unstoppable rage monster, but an AmazonianBeauty DeadpanSnarker)
226	[[/folder]]
227
228	[[folder:Music]]
229	* "The Power" by Snap:
230	-->Stay off my back / Or I will attack / And you don't want that
231	[[/folder]]
232
233	[[folder:Pinball]]
234	* In ''Pinball/MonsterBash'', one of the Wolfman's quotes is "You wouldn't like me when I change--!"
235	[[/folder]]
236
237	[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
238	* The wrestler Wrestling/{{Abyss}} is secretly the [[SplitPersonality alter]] of Joseph Park, a goofy lawyer guy. When he gets angry, he turns into Abyss, an AxCrazy WrestlingMonster.
239	* From Wrestling/DeuceNDomino's theme "I'm All About Cool":
240	-->"If you want to be cool\
241	Half as cool as me\
242	You better watch what you say\
243	And how you look at me\
244	Or else you'll pay a price\
245	Far beyond your means\
246	You don't want the trouble that I bring"
247	[[/folder]]
248
249	[[folder:Video Games]]
250	* Doc Louis's ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' plays this completely straight. Midway through the fight, Louis pulls out a chocolate bar that he'll eat and restore all his health with if not interrupted. However, punching the bar out of his hand is the ultimate way to push his BerserkButton. He immediately flips out with the phrase - "NOOOOOO! NOW You've done it! You won't like Doc when he's angry!", proceeds to rip off his jacket, and his attack speed doubles. [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard Right before pulling out another chocolate bar and healing himself anyway out of your attack range.]]
251	* Zappa from ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear''. Although he's more of a "You Wouldn't Like Me When [[DemonicPossession My Ghosts]] Are Angry", his profile in the manual mentions this trope by name.
252	--> "Don't make him angry! [[ShoutOut You won't like him when he's angry!]]"
253	* In the "Grim Tales" quest in ''VideoGame/{{Runescape}}'', Glod the Giant shouts "[[HulkSpeak You wouldn't like Glod when Glod angry!]]"
254	* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', [[OldSoldier Sten]] says the line almost word for word.
255	-->'''Sten''': In fear, I kill people. Pray that you don't see me in anger.
256	** Anders gets... blue... when he's upset in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', thanks to Justice / Vengeance.
257	* Asura from ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' is practically the Buddhist/Hindu answer to the Hulk. Making him angry is not only inadvisable but practically ''suicide''.
258	* Goliaths from ''VideoGame/Borderlands2''. Shoot off their helmet, and they fly into a psychopathic fury that sees them attack the players and any enemies around indiscriminately. Two of the lines they can spit out before going berserk warn the player of the mistake they made by shooting off the Goliath's helmet.
259	--> '''Goliath''': ''Mistake?...Big GOD DAMN MISTAKE!''
260	--> '''Goliath''': ''Should not have...you REALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT!"
261	* In ''VideoGame/SandsOfDestruction'', Rhi'a's SuperMovePortraitAttack PreAssKickingOneLiner is arguably a variation of this trope, as she's normally quite mellow:
262	-->'''Rhi'a:''' Time to get a little mean.
263	* Etihw, Kcalb, and [[spoiler:Macarona]] from ''VideoGame/TheGrayGarden''. Especially [[spoiler:Macarona.]]
264	* Winston, from ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'', is a kind, slightly dorky hyper-intelligent gorilla. At least until you push his buttons one too many times, then he unleashes his Primal Rage. Reaper finds this out the hard way in the debut trailer when he [[BerserkButton steps on Winston's glasses]].
265	* Paragon Shepard from the ''Franchise/MassEffect'' series is almost the Platonic essence of BewareTheNiceOnes[=/=]GoodIsNotSoft. A kind-hearted FriendToAllLivingThings, but (as a WellIntentionedExtremist finds out in the Paragon ending of the Overlord DLC in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'') when confronted with extreme cruelty will ''show'' the difference between meekness and weakness:
266	-->'''Shepard:''' I've seen enough of your cruelty to know he'll never be free of it here!\
267	'''[[spoiler:Archer]]:''' No! Leave him! He's too valuable! ''[they exchange fire, and Shepard pistol-whips him]''\
268	'''Shepard:''' You even ''think'' of coming after [[spoiler:your brother]] and this bullet will be waiting for you! ''Then'' we'll see who's valuable!
269	* In ''VideoGame/Grandia2'', Millennia has an anger meter during combat that spins from green to yellow to red. When she is attacked enough, Millennia's temper will snap and she will usually immediately unleash a powerful attack without needing to charge it like she would in normal combat. She becomes uncontrollable from this point on until the end of the battle.
270	* ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'':
271	** [[KindheartedSimpleton Plutia]] is one of the nicest characters in the series, but those unfortunate enough to [[BewareTheNiceOnes piss her off]] will be greeted to [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Iris Heart]], a ruthless, fear-mongering {{Dominatrix}} who likes to punish friend and foe alike. Even her civilian form can be CuteAndPsycho at times, such as her tendency to "relieve" her stress by ''punching her dolls'', which is actually used as her EXE Drive.
272	** [[GlacierWaif Blanc/White Heart]] also qualifies. While she's normally a soft-spoken [[TheStoic Stoic]], she'll become an [[HairTriggerTemper aggressive]] LadySwearsALot who swings a giant hammer/giant axe when angered, especially if her [[ACupAngst chest size]] [[BerserkButton is brung up]], and can be an assertive BloodKnight when in battle.
273	[[/folder]]
274
275	[[folder:Webcomics]]
276	* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': Onni, already a CowardlyLion in nature, also uses his battle abilities against people who make him angry enough.
277	* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': Jenka, a monstrous SuperSoldier [[BearsAreBadNews riding a bear]], politely asks to enter a town. She retains her politeness even when some idiot fires a crossbow bolt at her ("[[ArrowCatch I forgive. Once.]]"), and in the subsequent battle, she keeps yelling in an exasperated voice that she just wanted to enter the town--even as she's fighting the entire guard at the same time.
278	* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Grace only [[https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2010-06-25 transforms]] into her Omega form with horns and tail spikes if she's angry. If she calms down, those things [[https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2004-05-17 morph]] away.
279	[[/folder]]
280
281	[[folder:Web Originals]]
282	* On the ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'', Foolish is a NiceGuy, but if you severely threaten him, his friends, and/or his summer house, he can display his powers as a PhysicalGod to [[ShockAndAwe unleash lightning from above]]. The Eggpire learns this [[BoltOfDivineRetribution the hard way]] after they blew up his Ra statue.
283	* Hulky of ''WebAnimation/KlayWorld'' says this word-for-word before [[InvokedTrope somebody takes him up on the challenge]]. Averted in that he actually gets smaller, weaker, and perhaps stupider when he gets mad. [[spoiler:Played straight later on when he gets really mad and turns huge and smashes everything]].
284	* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic might still be pathetic when he's having his little boy rages, but he has a tendency to explode buildings accidentally when he's like that.
285	* In [[https://youtu.be/Md3nt8-vhDg one video]] by Piemations, which parodies ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'', Nick Wilde drops a priceless line about Judy Hopps while in a high-speed pursuit. [[spoiler: Judy then shoots the tires in a rage causing the car to crash.]]
286	-->'''Nick''': You don't wanna see her when she's ''hopping mad''!
287	* Yang Xiao Long from ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' not only has a short temper, but a Semblance that's empowered by her rage, meaning if you get caught in one of her devastating anger-induced punches, it's probably going to hurt a ''lot'' in the morning...
288	* Parodied in the Literature/WhateleyUniverse story "Tales of the [=MCO=]" when a commercial break comes. It's the Merchant-Ivory production of "Hulk 1809":
289	--> My lord, please do not make me angry. Thou wouldst not like me when I am most angered.
290	* The line is used in Lanipator's WebVideo/YuYuHakushoAbridged movie, by Yukina, of all people. [[spoiler: It's promptly subverted when the villains ignore her and smash her into a wall.]]
291	[[/folder]]
292
293	[[folder:Western Animation]]
294	* The Avatar State in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': Some context: the Avatar is an individual who is reincarnated once per generation that alone has the ability to control fire, earth, water, and air (normal benders only controls the element of their birth). When the Avatar state kicks in, they temporarily gain the combined knowledge ''and power'' of all the previous Avatars, of which there has been untold generations of. Until the Avatar learns how to control it, it will kick in when he/she is either in danger of dying or highly distressed. At which point, their tactics and moral considerations consist of: Destroy threat. With extreme prejudice.
295	* A definitive trait of Nicole Watterson from ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball''.
296	-->'''Nicole''': Angry doesn't '''[[SuddenlyShouting BEGIN TO COVER IT]]!'''
297	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'': Katie [=KaBoom=] is normally a sweet, perky, adorable teenage girl... but when she gets angry, she literally [[HulkingOut turns into a monster.]]
298	* Raven from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'', as a result of being [[HalfHumanHybrid half-demon]]. The result of ticking her off is a demonic form that is less powerful than the Avatar State above, but probably worse to have as an enemy, as Raven can get downright ''sadistic'' when she's like this. (Poor [[HarmlessVillain Dr. Light]] never did get over what she did to him...)
299	--> '''Dr. Light:''' Don't! Stop! You win! I surrender!!AHHHHHHH!!\
300	'''[[VoiceOfTheLegion Demon Raven]]:''' What's the matter? Afraid of the dark?
301	** Then, a season or two later:
302	---> '''Dr. Light:''' (with a new, more powerful suit) Haha! You can never defeat me!\
303	'''Raven:''' [[CombatTentacles (best impersonation of her demonic half)]] Remember me?\
304	'''Dr. Light:''' I'd like to go to jail now, please.
305	** Starfire is not exempt from this, either. When she first touched down on Earth, she was a raging berserker who nearly destroyed the city, and this was while she had her incredibly heavy restraints ''on''.
306	* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', Dexter alters his tastebuds so he only like fruits and vegetables, but a side-effect is that he [[HulkOut Hulks out]] when he gets too hungry. He is denied food by someone later on, and uses a variation of the phrase, replacing "angry" with "hungry".
307	* WesternAnimation/{{Droopy}} is always the calm and rational one - half of the time, he just looks flat out ''bored''. However, do something that angers him, he'll calmly walk up to you, ''grab you'' down to his level and tell you [[TranquilFury "You know what?]] [[ThatMakesMeFeelAngry That makes me mad."]] Cue ass-kicking.
308	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
309	** Princess Luna being a PhysicalGod and the representation of TheSacredDarkness. Do not piss off that mare.
310	** Woe to the pony who manages to piss off [[ShrinkingViolet Fluttershy]]. She can go from the nicest pony in Equestria to the most terrifying if you hurt her friends and managed to out-stare a cockatrice ''[[TakenForGranite as it was turning her to stone]]'' while protecting some fillies.
311	** Rarity, surprisingly. The refined unicorn fashionista who once ''summoned a couch to faint on'' because she was ''not'' going to land on the ''dirty ground'' when she fell may overreact to things hilariously, but when actual danger shows up, she [[LetsGetDangerous gets dangerous]]. [[IKnowKungFu She knows kung fu]] and [[ActionFashionista isn't afraid to use it]] - she is actually ''more'' likely to resort to hooficuffs than Applejack, the rough-and-tumble farm pony and physically strongest member of the team.
312	* ''WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi'': In the episode "Hungry Yumi", an angry fat man complains to Yumi to let him have the last Pink Palace cheeseburger parodying Hulk's statement as "If I don't get my Pink Palace cheeseburger, I get hungry. And you won't like me when I'm hungry!" Yumi angrily rebuffs "I DON'T LIKE YOU NOW!!!"
313	* Timber Wolf from the ''WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperHeroes2006'', the reason why he's [[TheStoic the stoic]] of the team is if you piss him off [[HulkOut you'll have an 8 to 10' werewolf monster to deal with.]]
314	* Said word for word by Peter in an early episode of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', when he was "[[BlatantLies explaining]]" why he canceled a reservation at the local SuckECheeses. In his flashback, he ends up being restrained by a [[ThoseWackyNazis Hilter-worshipping]] manager dressed as [[{{Satan}} the devil]], before delivering the line and, naturally, HulkingOut. At that point, Lois calls him out, and he's amusingly still in his Hulk pose as the "flashback" ends.
315	* Lucas Amato from ''WesternAnimation/CyberSix'' gets this reaction from his students: an entire trio of delinquents who are about to rough up Julian turn tail and run as soon as he shows up. The only thing keeping him from falling squarely into TheDreaded territory is that he's a really nice guy and actually well-liked by his students.
316	* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseFuture'', has seen Steven himself become this trope as a result of his trauma. Steven himself is still the amicable hero with a heart of gold everyone knows and loves, but when pushed to the brink, he becomes extremely dangerous.
317	* Inverted in ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'' when Thor states that he actually likes Hulk when he's angry
318	* In the ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'' episode "The Way We War", Genie goes berserk when he thinks Aladdin's life has been claimed as a result of the fighting, swelling up into a threatening stature and screaming how the fighters on both sides had better stop right now, as they ''do not'' want to see what happens if you push a genie too far.
319	* ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'': The episode "The Shaving" starts right off with Meatwad wanting to be the Incredible Hulk for Halloween:
320	-->'''Meatwad:''' You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.\
321	'''Master Shake:''' (''brandishing a sword'') I don't like you anyway. Now hold still. You're about to become Hall ''and'' Oates!
322	* Reddy from ''WesternAnimation/TheRuffAndReddyShow'' will usually stave off getting involved in confrontations. But when somebody picks on Ruff or anyone smaller than its antagonist, Reddy will get his dander up.
323	* Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast'' when Space Ghost uses this line word for word to try and intimidate Zorak and Moltar, only for Zorak to blow him off with "I don't like you ''now''."
324	* ''WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck'''s HairTriggerTemper is often well noted, but in ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'', it's actually a useful weapon as he'll quickly unleash his fury on the poor sucker who made the mistake of setting him off ([[PapaWolf usually by attempting to threaten his nephews]]).
325	* ''WesternAnimation/MiddlemostPost'': Being a raincloud, Parker unleashes a nasty storm anytime he gets tipped over the edge.
326	* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'', the semi-recurrer Brick Bradley was once a mild-mannered scientist until he accidentally fused himself with insects during an experiment, which transformed him into a mutant known as Bugman.
