[[File:Get him off me.jpg|thumb|400px|alt=Starscream makes the horrible blunder in thinking that just because Megatron is now cute and tiny that he's harmless.|You just had to, didn't you?]]

An event whereupon some hapless fool makes the horrible blunder of provoking something small and seemingly harmless (and sometimes even downright adorable looking) into attacking them. Often with shocking effectiveness, and often causing the victim to run around in circles screaming "GET IT OFF ME! GET IT OFF ME!"

 

{{examples}}

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* When IDW acquired the rights to ''[[Mars Attacks!]]'', they got the brilliant idea to make a crossover with [[Transformers Generation 1|G1]] [[Transformers]]... in which Megatron gets shrunk by the Martian leader. Naturally, Starscream decides to try and take advantage of the situation. It goes just about how you'd expect it to, with the added bonus of Soundwave frantically trying to revert Megatron to his original size to stop the carnage.

* Seen in ''[[Austin Powers]]'' when Austin gets in a fight with Mini-me. On top of clinging to Austin like white on rice, he even [[Groin Attack|bites Austin the nuts and hangs on for dear life as Austin tries to get him to let go]].

* ''[[Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]''. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmu5sRIizdw You know the scene.] "We'll not risk another frontal assault. [[Killer Rabbit|That rabbits dynamite!]]"

 

== [[New Media]] ==

* "Get it off!" and "Get it off me!" are frequent themes/subjects for [[Memetic Mutation]] and [[Image Macro]]s.

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

* Steiner in ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'' cannot stand oglops (essentially jumping beetles), and this is his basic reaction when he accidentally breaks open a bag full of them.

 

== [[Western Animation]] ==

** In yet another, Squidward [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaXS15NKtGs gets a gelatinous mass of eyes and tentacles deposited on his head] and reacts accordingly.

* In ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', Barney Gumble reacts to unfiltered sunlight in this way.
