When the [[TheIngenue all-too-innocent girl]] (it's [[AlwaysFemale usually a girl]] as an audience tends to read an adult male character with innocence as [[{{Manchild}} stupid and/or weak]]) who's [[TastesLikeDiabetes always cheerful and sweet to everyone]] finally gets pushed too far, it's almost always played for laughs, and one of two things will happen. Either she'll [[BewareTheNiceOnes go]] [[UnstoppableRage totally postal]], or she'll vent her frustration in polite, often somewhat embarrassed words, without any rage whatsoever, which almost always comes across as "cute."

* Cream, the sweet little girl in ''Anime/SonicX'', who enjoys making [[TastesLikeDiabetes flower rings and baking cakes]], though it's slightly subverted in that her anger on one occasion turns out to be highly effective (i.e. she takes out a robot that even Sonic and Knuckles couldn't handle.)

* Wrestling/BobBacklund:
** When this wrestling superstar of the late 1970s and early 1980s returned to the World Wrestling Federation in 1993, it was as a veteran superstar that graciously was there to mentor the younger superstars and show goodwill toward his longtime fans. However, his "good-two-shoes" persona didn't exactly get over with the fans, and it wasn't long before he adopted the gimmick -- that of a crazed individual gone mad over unjustly losing his [=WWF=] World Heavyweight Championship 10 years earlier -- that he truly made his impact. His newfound anger found many targets, most notably his longtime friend and manager, Arnold Skaaland (the man who threw in the towel to cause Backlund to lose his title to Wrestling/TheIronShiek) and Wrestling/BretHart, from whom he would eventually regain his beloved title. (Hart and Backlund had met earlier in 1994 in a rare "face vs. face" match, but when Hart came out on top, a discouraged Backlund snapped.)
** Incidentally, during Backlund's original [=WWF=] championship run in the early 1980s, there were occasions where he did get angry... but only once -- after "Superstar" Billy Graham tore apart his championship belt during a TV taping (incidentally, because Graham thought ''he'' was unjustly robbed of the belt, due to having his foot on the rope when Backlund scored his title-winning pinfall) did Backlund scream, rant and rave like a lunatic.
