Beware the Nice Ones/Web Original: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

* Gohan's adherence to this trope is parodied in ''Dragon Ball Z Abridged''. When he is a shy, meek, nerdy kid with good manners, a lot of the characters in the series abuse him in hiarious manners. When he loses it ([[Precision F-Strike|And you'll know it when he does]]), it's a sign that someone is going to get hurt.

* Kicks Dodoria towards a house.* }}

* Codex of ''[[The Guild]]'' is shy and accommodating to the point of being an [[Extreme Doormat]], but when she found out her boyfriend had dumped her for another man she set fire to his cello.

* [[Chakona Space|Chakats]] are usually nice to a fault -- empathic, social, family-oriented, and almost too good to be true except that they normally actually are; their designers did a good job. ''Don't'', however, threaten one's cubs or even hir best friends and family will have trouble keeping hir from shredding you on the spot...

* Alfred, the [[The Big Guy|massive]] construction worker from ''[[Darwin's Soldiers]]'', is explicitly described as not "the kind of person to pick fights". And it takes a lot to provoke him into physical action. But anger him enough and you'll see why angering someone with [[Super Strength]] is ''[[Tempting Fate|extremely]]'' [[Too Dumb to Live|stupid]]. His most extreme case was when he got so angry that he threatened ''to dismember someone and beat them to death [[Grievous Harm with a Body|with their own limbs]]''. And if [[The Hero|Dr. Zanasiu]] hadn't calmed him down, there was no doubt he would have done so.

* ''[[Awkward]]'' gives us Lester, a wonderfully amiable and somewhat put-upon hero who will put up with quite a lot -- until he actually seems to be making progress with Steph, and his live-in [[Stalker with a Crush]] Alex interferes and refuses to be ignored.

* [[Survival of the Fittest]] is perhaps one of the most perfect environments for turning nice guys/girls into murderous psychopaths. Perhaps one of the most jarring recent examples being Liam Brooks in v4, originally a rather quiet character with a love for gardening and a phobia of blood, but after the death of his girlfriend he dove headfirst onto the crazy train, putting together a makeshift garden with said girlfriend at the center while he proceeded to brutally kill three people and injure a third trying to add more bodies to it.

* ''[[The Gungan Council]]''. Io Akima seems to be one of the most lovable, playful persons around. That is, until Adira smashed her datapad, which was a gift from a friend that had died. Cue Io going from wanting to tease Adira to outright attempting to murder her.

* The title character of [[Erikas New Perfume]] is normally a loving, soft spoken [[Shrinking Violet]], but when [[Big Brother Bully|Big Sister Bully]] Marie tries to {{spoiler|reverse [[Cool Big Sis|Sarah's]] [[Plot-Relevant Age-Up]],}} she ''snaps'' and lays into her with an epic combination [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] / [[World of Cardboard Speech]] that leaves her flabbergasted. In a ''wet diaper,'' no less.
