* ''Series/MonarchLegacyOfMonsters'':
** After Kentaro and his mother Emiko discover that Hiroshi had a {{secret other family}} across the Pacific, Kentaro is looking through the family album and gets annoyed at Emiko for seeming unbothered by the extent of her husband's infidelity. Emiko responds to this by tearing up several of the family pictures of Hiroshi until Kentaro urges her to stop, and then she calmly asks him if he feels better now that she's acted angry.
** When Monarch's Deputy Director Natalia Verdugo catches wind of a citywide Titan warning siren going off in the U.S., she immediately realizes that Tim went behind her back and triggered it to try and rescue May. She stares calmly ahead and hisses Tim's name softly under her breath in quiet anger.
** When General Puckett thinks that Shaw has been wasting government money and resources due to a damning report submitted by [[GeneralFailure Lieutenant Hatch]], the next time that they see each-other, the first thing Puckett tells Shaw, in a completely calm tone of voice, is that "there's nothing in Lieutenant Hatch's ''illuminating'' report to justify the continued funding of Project Monarch" and that he's disappointed in Shaw, even calling Shaw by his first name to accentuate the point.

* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': In "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E6LikeAngelsPutInHellByGod Like Angels Put in Hell by God]]", when Lestat de Lioncourt confronts his vampire daughter Claudia on the train, he seems calm on the surface and never raises his voice, yet aggression underlies his every word and gesture because he's incensed that she has abandoned their family once again. Although no physical violence occurs between them in this scene, Lestat is nevertheless dishing out [[BreakThemByTalking psychological violence]] on Claudia in a conversational tone, which includes a death threat.

[[ImmuneToBullets Louis]] is also completely nonchalant when Fenwick shoots him twice in the chest, and he even says, "I'll let you reload."

* ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'' gives us a wonderful example when Al tries to take his family on a Labor Day vacation only to get stuck in gridlock traffic. When he tries to lighten the mood with a sing-a-long, [[DreadfulMusician he's so offkey and loud]] that a fellow would be vacationer yells at him to shut up. When Al doesn't, the guy tells him he'll be gumming the words. Al then calmly tells Peg to take the wheel, calmly gets out of the car, calmly walks around to the guy (who is also out of the car at this point), and calmly begins strangling the life out of him.

** When Londo presents the terms of the Narn surrender to the council, nearly every councilor, major and minor, quietly listens as he speaks, but it's quite clear that all of them are utterly appalled at the Centauri government's conduct in the war and seething at Londo as he recites the terms.

* ''Series/TheCosbyShow''. The only time you ever saw Cliff fly off the handle was in one of the early 1st season episodes with Theo. Other than that, he pretty much remained calm on the outside whenever one of his kids did something insane. But he often reacted in this manner. This is best emphasized after he learns about Vanessa's antics in the episode "Off to see the Wretched" (lying to her parents so that she and her friends could sneak off to an out-of-state concert, not reporting the theft of one of their brother's car) as he very calmly explains, after jumping eight feet, "Add another three, because when we see Vanessa, that's how far away from her I will have to be." In the end, he just simply tells her, "Do yourself a favor and go to bed" in an eerily calm tone, in clear contrast to Clair when she finally loses it and literally has to shout at Vanessa to make her go to bed.

Without once raising her voice, Cora orders Nanny West to pack her things and leave first thing in the morning, unfazed by her sobbing excuses.
-->'''Cora''': Please, Miss West, I prefer not to discuss it, except to say that your values have no place in a civilized home.

*** He ''did'' kill the cabbie and gangster in this mode. [[BewareTheNiceOnes And showed not an ounce of remorse about it]], which ''really'' doesn't help your case. [[WhatAnIdiot Yeah, only someone who's too dumb to do it would try it]] [[TooDumbToLive and most likely not survive if they've succeeded]].
** Sherlock does this ''again'' when Magnussen reveals his pressure point in "[[Recap/SherlockS03E03HisLastVow His Last Vow]]". Basically, piss off this guy ''so much'' by threatening John's life in front of him--you're screwed. [[TooDumbToLive Magnussen found this one out the hard way]]. [[WhatAnIdiot It DID screw things up for him, though]]. Cue everyone thinking [[NiceJobBreakingItHero "Nice going, genius."]]

*** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E12HellBent "Hell Bent"]]: After [[spoiler: arriving on Gallifrey]], [[CharacterFilibuster the Doctor]] [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness doesn't speak for hours or perhaps days]]... he just gives his trademark KubrickStare constantly. Everyone walks on eggshells around the man known as [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast the Oncoming Storm]] and dare not cross his LineInTheSand, not even with ARTILLERY, as it's quite obvious that after [[spoiler:the Time Lords caused the death of Clara and imprisoned him for 4 billion years in a GroundhogDayLoop always ending in his death]], he is '''[[UpToEleven beyond]]''' pissed. When the President ([[spoiler:Rassilon the Eternal]]) finally shows up to speak with him, the Doctor, never raising his voice, never raising his fists, simply says, "Get off my planet." For sheer terror of what [[TemptingFate disobeying the Doctor]] might bring, the military forces the President to concede.
