{{examples

Line 46:
== Literature ==
* [[Gaias Vengeance|Filforth]], an ''[[Our Angels Are Different|angel]]'' in [[Stationery Voyagers]], warns the [[Depraved Homosexual|Crooked]] [[Strawman Political|Rainbow]] to stop rioting and to stop harassing the Voyagers. They opt to gang rape him instead, specifically [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?|because he's an angel]]. [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|Tracheae catch fire]].
* [[The Witcher|Geralt]] warns a [[Snow White (Literature)|Snow]] [[Tragic Villain|White]] [[Expy|expy]] that this will happen [[Alas, Poor Villain|when they fight]]. Though to be fair, his fighting style provides few non-lethal tools for dealing with dangerous opponents.
* ''[[Honor Harrington (Literature)|Honor Harrington]]'', during peace talks after decade-long wars:

I've killed too many of your people over the last twenty T-years, and your people have killed too many of mine. Don't make me kill any more, Madame President. Please."}}
Line 92:
{{quote| '''Nahdar Vebb:''' [to Grievous] Don't make me destroy you!}}
** [[Doomed By Canon|Needless to say]], it doesn't work out the way Nahdar intended.
* Part of Mojo Jojo's [[We Can Rule Together]] [[Hannibal Lecture]] from ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]] Movie'' ("We are kindred spirits whose powers spring from the same source, so, girls, ''do not make me destroy you!''"), resulting in a very painful [[Shut UP, Hannibal]].
* In ''[[The Simpsons]]'', included in Homer's advice to Lisa:
