* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Homer Simpson pulls a funny one in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E20BartOnTheRoad Bart on the Road]]". Bart is stuck across the country after renting a car without permission and Lisa has to tell Homer, but first, she makes him promise not to get mad. After she explains, Homer manages to say "My, that is quite a pickle" calmly, as a LuminescentBlush forms on his face... until he excuses himself, puts on the mask of his hazmat suit, and starts ranting and raving incoherently until the mask is all fogged up. Then, when he's finished, he says ([[TranquilFury completely deadpan]]):
-->'''Homer:''' Okay, I've thought this through. I will send Bart the money to fly home. Then I will murder him.

** Buffy is in this state during "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E2WhenSheWasBad When She Was Bad]]", having traumatized by her [[DisneyDeath temporary death]] at the Master's hands. While mostly sullen, moody, and having TookALevelInJerkass, moments such as her beating on a training dummy until it breaks and finally smashing the Master's bones to bits with a hammer show just how ''not'' okay she really is.

* ''Series/OhsamaSentaiKingOhger'': [[spoiler: In the flashback of #42, when Dagded unveils his responsibility for the catastrophic "Fury of the Gods" incident that claimed his father's life and countless others across Tikyū, young Racules is visibly trembling with rage. However, he exercises restraint, refraining from impulsive actions and instead initiates a strategic plan aimed at orchestrating the downfall of Dagded.

* ''Franchise/SpiderMan'': The Venom symbiote notes that Peter is teeming with rage and hatred towards it that he isn't even consciously aware of. Following the Dead No More fiasco, the involvement of Norman Osborn is enough to cause him to [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness stop cracking jokes]], causing Mockingbird and Tarantula to note he isn't acting like himself.

* From ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' epidode "Lights, Camera, Danger!"

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'':
** In "Perchance to Dream", after Batman awakes from the Mad Hatter's LotusEaterMachine that put him in an illusion world where ''almost'' everything was okay (his parents were alive, he could marry Selena, etc., but he was able to figure out that everything was a lie), you can tell he wants to attack the Mad Hatter, but he resorts to demanding, "Why? Why did you do it?" through gritted teeth, barely able to control his fury.
** In "Joker's Millions", the Joker ([[ThanatosGambit apparently]]) inherits millions of dollars from a deceased rival. When Batgirl suggests that maybe he'll give up crime now that he's rich, Batman snaps the gadget he's working on in two.
** The closest Batman was ever tempted to playing JudgeJuryAndExecutioner was with the Sewer King, who'd abducted children to act as petty thieves and treated them like dirt - and his tone when telling the villain such was firmly under this trope.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Homer Simpson pulled a funny one once. Bart was stuck across the country after renting a car without permission and Lisa had to tell Homer, but first she makes him promise not to get mad. After she explains, Homer manages to say "My, that is quite a pickle" calmly, as a LuminescentBlush formed on his face... until he excuses himself, puts on the mask of his hazmat suit, and starts ranting and raving incoherently until the mask is all fogged up. Then, when he's finished he says ([[TranquilFury completely deadpan]]);

* A ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' episode featured two of these, when a DaddysLittleVillain blackmailed Robin into taking her on a date. Robin's face is frozen in a twitching manic grin, while Starfire occasionally bursts into flame or has her mouth melt away and her head turn into a nightmarish Venus Flytrap-esque maw.

* This is how Unikitty [[WesternAnimation/{{Unikitty}} in any]] [[WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie of her]] [[WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie2TheSecondPart appearances]] handles her anger, only to burst like a tea kettle on top of a furnace.

Alice is upset. She hasn't told [[AliceAndBob Bob]] this, but he has a hunch. Maybe it's because she's chopping those carrots a ''little'' too hard. Maybe it's because she's pressing down on that pen so hard it's torn through the paper. Maybe it's because they calmly, but obviously [[ThatMakesMeFeelAngry explained how furious they are]] without showing it. [[DisproportionateRetribution Or maybe it's because she just gave her coworker a broken jaw when he asked how she was.]]
