'''Buffy:''' Oh, give me a break! This is all wrong. See, first you would get the big guy, with a flying kick. Then you would take out all the little ones, bam, ba—see, ''now'' with the flying kick. ''From a dead stop!'' What's powering it, raw enthusiasm?\\
'''Riley:''' Hey Buff, maybe you ought to leave the work behind sometimes. You're not always on Slayer duty, you know?\\
'''Buffy:''' It would drive you crazy if we were watching an army movie and they were all saluting backwards and... invading all willy-nilly.

Not an index, but a TropeTrope: When a trope is either so played out, so stupid, so inaccurate, or so racist/sexist/whatever, that seeing it makes some people go ''[[BerserkButton berserk]]''.

Part of the death cycle for a trope; any trope that qualifies is already at least close to becoming a DiscreditedTrope.

Sometimes this is due to ValuesDissonance [[DeadHorseTrope making a trope obsolete]]. [[UndeadHorseTrope Continuing to use such a trope]] when the underlying morality behind it has been discredited is sure to get some annoyed reactions.

Note that subversions and deconstructions are probably already playing too close to the line, and playing them with even a hint that they're being played straight will get certain people up in arms.

See also TropeEnjoymentLoophole for possible reasons why a trope that's normally a pet peeve is, in one particular case, not pressing your BerserkButton.

See also Administrivia/TropesAreTools. Contrast SugarWiki/FavoriteTrope. Often overlaps with OpinionMyopia and BiasSteamroller -- it is frequently baffling to a person that anyone could possibly ''like'' their pet peeve trope.

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* Combined with a BaitAndSwitch in ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'': One chapter ends with Shirogane seemingly getting dragged into peeping on the girls during a HotSpringsEpisode. The next chapter opens with...Ishigami and Iino (back at school) discussing how a lot of fanservice tropes involving hot springs are deeply unfunny and somewhat creepy; Iino specifically notes that "peeping on the girls" is actually a crime that would get a student expelled. Indeed, Shirogane and his friends are doing something else entirely, and take offense when someone thinks they're doing something lewd.
* ''Manga/NoMatterHowILookAtItItsYouGuysFaultImNotPopular'': In chapter 132, Tomoko mentions that she hates the shōjo trope where a rival girl [[StockShoujoBullyingTactics bullies the main heroine]], only to be EasilyForgiven and become best friends with her; Yuri agrees with her opinion. Interestingly she [[{{Hypocrite}} doesn't mind it at all]] when it's done in a shounen action series even if the "bully" has gone beyond schoolyard pettiness in scope. [[spoiler:Listening to their conversation convinces Minami that it would be a bad idea to try to get along with them in order to hang out with Mako.]]

'''Pavitr:'''...and you came to India. That is such a Western culture cliché! Don't ''Film/EatPrayLove'' me, bro!\\

* ''Film/SmallSoldiers'': Gil Mars, the CEO of [[{{Megacorp}} [=GloboTech=] Industries]], dislikes VeryFalseAdvertising. He hates commercials of cars that drive around on Mount Rushmore or shampoo commercials that claim you can look like a celebrity in one use. This inspires him to have the newly purchased Heartland Toy Company use [=GloboTech=]'s military-grade technology to create a line of toys so sophisticated that they can, in his own words, "actually do what they do in the commercials." The rest of the plot happens when said toys do ''[[GoneHorriblyRight exactly]]'' as advertised.

* ''Webcomic/TheCartoonChroniclesOfConroyCat'': If there's one thing Doggy hates the most about today's cartoons, it's ''[[TotallyRadical Totally Cool Dudes]]''. Ironically, Doggy sheepishly reveals that ''he'' went through a TotallyRadical phase [[http://dtoons.com/conroy/2012/11/toons-these-days-the-looney-tunes-show/ in the review of]] ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow''.

[[folder:Web Original]]
* ''Website/{{Cracked}}'': [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-stupid-characters-that-hollywood-now-puts-in-every-movie/ 6 Stupid Characters That Hollywood Now Puts In Every Movie]] takes aim at films like ''Film/JurassicWorld'', ''Film/TerminatorGenisys'' and ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' for their insistence on putting these tropes in their movies: [[InvincibleHero No One Has Any Fear Of Death]], [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands Movie Villains Can Instantly Pick Up The Skills Of The Heroes]], [[DeusExMachina Everyone Gets Magic Expositional Plot Visions]], [[FauxActionGirl "Kickass" Female Characters Who Don't Really Do Anything]], and [[BecauseDestinySaysSo Main Characters Are Now Fated To Be Heroes]].
* ''WebAnimation/OverlySarcasticProductions'':
** In Red's Trope Talk video on grimdark, Red admits that her pet peeve is [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids pessimism]], and she hates any story that paints hope as childish as a general rule of thumb. As a creator who studies history, she knows that society doesn't always stay the same and the idea of an afterlife is too interpretive to give a concrete answer. Red believes that hope is a good thing and necessary for society's progression.
** {{Downtime Downgrade}}s are discussed in both of Red's videos on romantic subplots and sequels. Red makes it ''very'' clear that she really, really dislikes this trope, arguing that splitting up an OfficialCouple between sequels or installments makes it seem like writers are afraid to write characters in a relationship. Red especially dislikes it when a writer makes the characters undergo the WillTheyOrWontThey dance all over again after they've canonically hooked up and split apart, saying that it just feels cheap.
* Despite being the platonic ideal of a CausticCritic, Yahtzee of ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation'' actually detests the WorldOfSnark trope, because it usually means none of the characters in a story have a unique voice or personality, the tone is generally uneven due to the constant effort to turn every other line into a smartass quip, and —since it's so frequently attempted but so rarely handled well— it simply grates on his nerves. He often invokes Creator/JossWhedon (who puts tons of snark into ''everything'' he writes) in a derogatory way with games that overdo it on the sarcastic "wittiness". His specific point is, especially with Whedon, is that when every character is a snarker, they all start sounding the same.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Video]]
* The titular host of ''WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow'' states that he dislikes the FourPointscale concept. The "Angry Reviews", "Extended Review Discussions" and "Rapid Fire Reviews" have all used just about every number on the 1-10 scale (whole numbers only with no decimals). According to Joe and his team, a 5/10 is their flat average, with reviews for video games building towards the team justifying a higher or lower score. For instance, a 3/10 to Joe will have some decent points, yet he'll detail the negatives and why it's ultimately not worth recommending to his audience; conversely, Joe will preach for a 9/10, but explain why it falls short of a 10/10. Still, there are some examples in the show's history where the trope is PlayedWith.
* ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'':
** The Nerd absolutely ''detests'' CheckPointStarvation. It was his biggest complaint toward the ComicStrip/DickTracy UsefulNotes/{{NES}} game, and in ''VideoGame/JurassicPark'' on the SNES, there's no save feature ''at all!''
** DamnYouMuscleMemory is quite a BerserkButton for him.
** FakeDifficulty is the [[BerserkButton primary source]] of his rage.
** GuideDangIt ''really'' winds him up. Put some of this into your game and The Nerd WILL stop the review for several minutes to rip into the fact. As he points out several times, it's a justified complaint since most of the games he reviews were made back when walkthroughs and guides were not as easily available as they are today.
** MercyInvincibility, when absent, is a source of anger.
** He hates having to do a NoDeathRun.
** ObstructiveForeground is a source of annoyance, especially combined with enemies, powerups, or collectibles that are already small and difficult to see.
* ''WebVideo/CounterMonkey'':
** Spoony is obviously no fan of {{Villain Protagonist}}s, feeling that they're usually created an excuse for player(s) to act like [[ChaoticStupid violent, psychopathic assholes]] and disrupt the game ForTheLulz. He devoted one whole video ("So You Want to Be Evil") to shooting down the concept[[note]]Though he says he'd be okay with Evil characters who still have a conscience[[/note]], spends portions of several ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade'' videos complaining about how the current ''[[TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness World of Darkness]]'' setting practically forces you to play a completely unsympathetic character, and of course "Shadowrun: The Code" is all about him taking his revenge on a party who went kill- and torture-happy for no good reason.
** He hates the attempts to add balance and prevent death later editions of ''Dungeons and Dragons" put forth, feeling that making things too easy takes away from the accomplishment of actually getting a high-level character.
** {{Munchkin}}s and MinMaxing are a pet peeve for Spoony, who feels like an interesting, flawed backstory makes a great character, not high stats. He even has a book for using 3d6 dice rolls to determine a character's backstory and flaws virtually at random. He even notes, the few times a player got undesirable rolls from that book, Spoony told the player they didn't have to keep it. The players inevitably chose to keep the bad rolls anyway, since it got their wheels turning.
* ''WebVideo/TheDomReviews'': Dominic discusses how he dislikes BelligerentSexualTension because he sees it as an unrealistic representation of actual relationships at best and actively encouraging toxic ideas about love and romance at worst. If a story uses jealousy or bickering as a sign of romantic spark, he can be relied upon to point it out and complain about it.
* ''WebVideo/FamiliarFaces'': MerchandiseDriven works are a pet peeve for Chad, with that being a key reason why he hates ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' and ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'', as well as the reason he can't enjoy ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'', fearing it'll get the same treatment given that it was from the same producers of the original ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}''.
* ''Creator/GaijinGoombah'' dislikes HighlyVisibleNinja. In discussing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxUbKUr6LK4 who the best video game ninja is]], the likes of Ryu Hayabusa and Strider reduce him to {{Angrish}} and the lead character of ''VideoGame/MarkOfTheNinja'' turns him into TheKnightsWhoSaySquee.
* ''WebVideo/HalfLifeButTheAIIsSelfAware'': Coomer hates anything with a SicklyGreenGlow, like the green sludge spills from the nuclear reactors. As he says, he's "horribly allergic!" (To radiation?)
* ''WebVideo/JesuOtaku'': [[invoked]] [[{{Glurge}} Forced drama]], {{Moe}} pandering, {{Ecchi}}, "Exactly like the Japanese version" dubs, shoddy endings, {{Gorn}}, and [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot flat-out wasting the potential of your premise]] are stated to be pet peeves.
* ''WebVideo/MovieRehab'':
** Jack Skyblue is [[https://www.facebook.com/mrjackskyblue/posts/993781670708981 not a fan]] of people [[PleaseSubscribeToOurChannel people telling viewers to subscribe to their channels]].
** Judging from his review to ''Film/BeingJohnMalkovich'', he really hates the ButtMonkey trope or at least [[DesignatedMonkey the way it's executed]].
* ''WebVideo/OutsideXbox'': A pet peeve for the cast is when actors in games do [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent shoddy accents]], especially {{Fake Brit}}s. Makes sense, since they're actually English themselves.
* ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'':
** The Critic dislikes the BarbaricBully trope, partly because the bullies tend to be so one-dimensional, and partly because they never seem to be having fun with their bullying (just doing it because [[ForTheEvulz they're evil]]).
** He dislikes when kidnapped people are far too relaxed in their situation and tends to point out that they should be at least afraid. These comments tend to be {{foreshadowing}} Hyper making an appearance in the next episode so it'd make sense for Critic to be irritated about, but it annoys Doug in his own vlogs too.
* ''WebVideo/OneyPlays'': They love making fun of the NotAfraidOfYouAnymore trope, especially if a character in whatever they're playing says it word-for-word.
* ''LetsPlay/{{Raocow}}'':
** He is not a fan of bridge-building segments. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWKc-Ln8E0c&t=4m12s In one video he says that the only videogame task he dislikes as much as bridge-building is taking care of a pony, "because, seriously, if I'm going to take care of an equine, it might as well be a full-grown horse".]]
** He's not too fond of stair-making.
** He strongly dislikes elevator sections.
** He does not like puzzles that consist of "find item here, backtrack to previous place, get new item, backtrack again" and so on.
** He dislikes [[GustyGlade levels with wind that blows you backward]].
** He ''loathes'' bullet generators.
** Bosses that have to have objects thrown at them to be defeated. He admits as such in [=MaGL X=] [[JustifiedTrope that he's terrible at throwing]].
* ''WebVideo/ShadowStreak'': [[invoked]] He admits in his "Save The Date" review, that size-changing tropes are NauseaFuel for him, though he isn't sure why. Despite this, "Save The Date" still managed to be one of his more positive reviews of the series.
* ''WebVideo/SomeCallMeJohnny'': [[invoked]] Johnny dislikes {{Difficulty Spike}}s, or rather, any game that exponentially increases challenge, as mentioned at the end of VideoGame/CaveStory.
* The author of ''Website/{{Springhole}}'' dislikes the SavingChristmas trope as they listed it on [[http://www.springhole.net/writing/christmasspecialtropes.htm a list]] of ChristmasTropes that "need to die".
* ''WebVideo/SonicDissected'':
** BreakingTheFourthWall is a pet peeve for Roger since he feels it cheapens both the humor and the story with the characters being aware they are fictional.
** Roger takes offense with post-''Unleashed'' Sonic's over-reliance on NonSequitur based SurrealHumor with him especially hating the over-reliance on random food puns and InherentlyFunnyWords. He often finds that it's relied on so much that it makes the writing resemble something made for babies rather than the more general audience that Sonic is ostensibly supposed to be made for.
** Roger has avoided reading the Sonic comic books because he personally dislikes serial storytelling in comic books, much preferring self-conclusive stories.
* ''WebVideo/StormDainProductions'': He dislikes [[PleaseSubscribeToOurChannel people asking for subscribers]] and sub-for-subs, which he shows great disdain when annotations were introduced to Website/YouTube because of the potential of people using them to easily ask for subs without effort.
* ''WebVideo/TBSkyen'':
** He goes on a bit of a rant about YouDirtyRat in the Royal Rat Authority & Vanguard Boss Designs episode since he keeps pet rats and knows that they're actually pretty fastidious.
** He has a chip on his shoulder regarding HornyVikings, seeing it both as unrealistic (an enemy could grab your horns and pull off the helmet or pull you to the ground) and because it's a stereotype of vikings, from whom Skyen is descended.
* ''WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows'':
** He dislikes the DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale trope, particularly if it's Music/{{Beyonce}}-on-male, but Todd in general doesn't like the idea that women are "allowed" to get away with abusing their male partners.
** When it comes to ClarkKenting, people's inability to recognize the obvious fact that Series/HannahMontana is Miley in a wig drives Todd up the wall. Todd even references Clark Kent and [[Film/SupermanFilmSeries Christopher Reeve's performance of the character]].
** He struggles to avoid making DomesticAbuse the focal point of his review of "I Can Transform Ya", although he doesn't let what Chris Brown did to Rihanna ever pass by without commenting on it.
** Todd feels that there's very few variations to songs that take place InDaClub, and that a song has to be ''very'' good in order for him to let this slide. He does like ironic club songs that spin the scene into something empty or depressing, however.
** Not only does Todd consider such {{Child Pop Star}}s in general to be [[SturgeonsLaw not very good]], he feels like the music industry is consistently abusing young talent.
--->One crisis at a time, Todd...
** He'll not only point it {{Lyrics Video Mismatch}}es, but it will be the focus of a good part of his reviews if the music video is especially egregious with not matching the lyrics.
** His dislike of {{Painful Rhyme}}s form the basis of his RunningGag: "Finish the Rhyme!"
** The RhymingWithItself trope annoys him quite a bit, as he considers it lazy.
** He dislikes any excessive parts of {{Scatting}}. Not the case for Music/ScatmanJohn, however, whose rapid jazz scatting elicits respect from Todd. Also, background vocals singing "HEY!" or "OH!".
--->'''Todd:''' Hip hop! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Stop. Shouting. Ohhh.]]
** TheFourChordsOfPop are popular for a reason, he considers such chords to be creatively bankrupt.
** He dislikes when choruses in party/love songs end with the word "tonight".
** In the ''Trainwreckords'' episodes on Music/LizPhair's ''Funstyle'' and Music/{{Metallica}}'s ''St. Anger'', Todd mentions the idea that MusicIsPolitics and that he loathes [[WriterRevolt anti-music-industry rants from successful artists]], considering it the bottom of the barrel in terms of creativity.
* ''WebVideo/VampireReviews'': The trope she really seems to loathe is the AllLovingHero / MessianicArchetype.
* ''WebVideo/WhatWeHadToWatch'': In regard to Jim {{easily forgiv|en}}ing Silver in ''WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet'' despite the latter betraying him, Il Neige himself takes issue with how happy this ending came off in comparison to the more BittersweetEnding in the [[Literature/TreasureIsland source material]] and other adaptations, like ''Film/MuppetTreasureIsland''.
* ''WebVideo/MrCoat'': His list of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fx6_5wkN4N4 Top Ten Annoying Film Cliches]], which includes blatant ProductPlacement, {{Celebrity Voice Actor}}s chosen for their name rather than skill, [[CorruptCorporateExecutive The Evil Developer]], overuse of Slow-Motion, jerk boyfriends, [[WhenYouComingHomeDad The Workaholic Father]], shaky-cam, [[EndingFatigue Never-ending Epilogues]], {{Food Fight}}s, and [[ThirdActMisunderstanding The Misunderstanding]].

* Creator/GeorgeCarlin said AirQuotes are a pet-peeve trope of his during a standup routine.
* Ironically, Creator/ShigeruMiyamoto dislikes FloatingPlatforms and once stated in an interview that he still has some issues with floating platforms, due to the lack of any real logic behind them. He then said that he pretends that they are attached to the background in the 2D games.
* The authors of ''TabletopGame/TheWitcherGameOfImagination'' have ArmorIsUseless, ShieldsAreUseless, LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards, and GoodIsDumb as pet peeves. ''Especially'' ShieldsAreUseless. The entire game mechanics and setting are aimed at averting those tropes.
