History Main / BrakeAngrily

* In the "Tubette" story from ''[[WesternAnimation/TimothyGoesToSchool Timothy's Tales of Hilltop School]]'', when the other kids make fun of Doris for being so big, Gus the bus driver pulls over by the side of the road and says to them, "We're staying right here in the dandelions till the teasing stops!".

* Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph''. In the scene between Calhoun and Felix as they fly the spaceship across Sugar Rush, Felix accidentally pushes Calhoun's TraumaButton when he calls her "one dynamite gal", causing her to flashback at the death of her fiancé. She doesn't actually ''brake'' the ship (she only flies it to a nearby road to drop Felix), but the effect is in place.

* Uncle Vernon does this in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone'' when Harry mention the dream he had of riding a flying motorcycle (a callback to the start of the book when he was left on the Dursley's doorstep).

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJz18c6gw8c GET OUT OF MY CAR]]"; that link is an AnimatedAdaptation of something that actually happened involving an uber driver and a female passenger in real life.

* Stan of ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' did it while driving his son's friends to a sci-fi con, which caused his chubby friend Barry to smash into the windshield. "I see one tear fatty, and I'm doing it again".

** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E24LostOurLisa Lost Our Lisa]]", Homer finds Lisa after she gets lost on a museum trip. She says she'll never take another stupid risk again, and Homer suddenly stop the car to say stupid risks are worth taking and how he found her downtown. Then Lisa points out he let the brake go and the car is rolling downhill into a river.

* ''Cosmic Sin'' does this for an OhCrap instead of anger when someone calls up General Eron Ryle [[PulledFromYourDayOff as he's driving home]]. The general is trying to foist the job off to someone else when he's informed that someone has made FirstContact with an alien race for the first time, causing him to slam on the brakes. This trope probably explains why he's not driving one of the {{Flying Car}}s we see in the distance.

** Peter also did it to Brian, although unintentionally. This resulted in catapulting Brian directly into the windshield.

** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E10GrampaVsSexualInadequancy Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy]]", Homer {{gasp}}s and then does it when Grampa says that Homer [[AMistakeIsBorn was an accident]], and then tells his father to GetOut.

** [[TropeNamers Named]] for a line in the "Towelie" episode. Also counts as a LampshadeHanging.
** In the episode "Cripple Fight", when Stan calls Cartman a "Silly goose", Randy uses the trope to express his anger that his son would use such an unmanly term.

** Brian did it to Stewie once.

** In "Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy", Homer {{gasp}}s and then does it when Grampa says that Homer [[AMistakeIsBorn was an accident]], and then tells his father to GetOut.
** In "Lost Our Lisa", Homer finds Lisa after she gets lost on a museum trip. She says she'll never take another stupid risk again, and Homer suddenly stop the car to say stupid risks are worth taking and how he found her downtown. Then Lisa points out he let the brake go and the car is rolling downhill into a river.

** In [[https://tugscarebear.deviantart.com/art/Don-t-Make-Me-Pull-This-Car-Over-551365516 this comic]], which is aptly titled "Don't Make Me Pull This Car Over", Mike does this and spanks his son when Caiden [[LiteralMetaphor literally screams for ice cream]].

[[TruthInTelevision People do not do this in real life.]] [[JustForFun/TelevisionIsTryingToKillUs Please]] DoNotAttempt in RealLife. Especially on a motorcycle, where suddenly slamming on the brakes for 100 percent braking power ''will'' flip the bike.

--->'''Randy:''' ''You do not say, "Big Silly Goose!" You call him an asshole like a normal kid!\\

--->'''Randy:''' YOU DO NOT SAY "BIG SILLY GOOSE!" You call him an asshole like a normal kid!\\

'''Randy:''' STANLEY, YOU CALL YOUR FRIEND AN ASSHOLE THIS INSTANT!

* ''Film/WithoutAClue'' has a different take on the trope. Creator/MichaelCaine's character (playing SherlockHolmes) is traveling by train when he's informed that Moriarty is involved in the latest case. Cue him tugging on the alarm cord to bring the train to a halt, then cutting to him shouting at Watson in the middle of a field while everyone else has to stand around and wait for the famous detective to get back on board.

** In "Spins A Web", the General does when when the class re-enters the bus through a vacuum tube. When he does so, Arnold, who somehow wound up sitting in the overhead bin, [[RealityEnsues comes crashing right down onto the General.]]

* A Volkswagen ad features a couple driving along when the man suddenly remembers that they just returned their HomePornMovie to the video store. The ad then touts the car's anti-lock brakes.

** Homer also does it after Lisa gets lost on a museum trip. She says she'll never take another stupid risk again, and he stops the car for a surprisingly heartwarming moment.
