Line 33:
* Ryoga from ''[[Ranma ½]]'' can often be this way if he ever finds someone insulting Akane.
{{quote|'''Ryoga''': "NO MAN SHALL INSULT AKANE'S LEGS!"}}
** Akane Tendo can sometimes come off as this around Ranma Saotome, mainly in the earlier parts of the anime and manga. At least one [[Dark Fic]] (''[[The Bitter End]]'', for which we have a page) made such a decent argument for it being all-out Intermittent Explosive Disorder that it almost instantly became [[Fanon]] among ''Ranma'' fandom.
* Daigo Ikari from ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'' will always get angry when someone mentioned Ojou High School or White Knights (the football team) in bad light; the problem is that every time he hears anything, he always quick to ''assume the worst''.
** This leads to a running gag that Ikari never actually gets to play in a game until the second time Oujou plays Daimon, at least a dozen games into their season. The reason is because he always attacks someone and gets himself ejected before the game even starts. His teammates try to prevent this by ''binding him with chains''. It doesn't work.

* Tina the technical writer in ''[[Dilbert]]'', who "regards every conversation within her hearing distance as an insult to her occupation and [[Straw Feminist|gender]]." She's lightened up considerably in recent years, though.▼
** Alice and her Fist Of Death on the other hand...▼
▲* There is ''absolutely no way'' of knowing whether saying something to [[Batman|The Joker]] will result in him laughing or killing you, horribly and violently. Or doing both.
** Though arguably, that's because the Joker is [[Ax Crazy]] rather than having a Hair-Trigger Temper.
** You're on slightly safer ground with [[Marx Brothers]] quotes.
Line 156 ⟶ 154:
* The titular character of the 1900s-vintage comic strip ''[[The Outbursts of Everett True]]'' explodes into violence at the smallest, most inconsequential provocation, delivering savage beatings to the objects of his ire. This was the ''point'' of the strip and supposed to be ''funny''.
* ''[[The Far Side]]'' had a lot of cartoons like this. For instance, one early strip showed an angry man holding a smoking shotgun, having killed two people with it, while his wife behind him angrily says, "That settles it, Carl! From now on, you're only getting decaffeinated coffee!"
▲* Tina the technical writer in ''[[Dilbert]]'', who "regards every conversation within her hearing distance as an insult to her occupation and [[Straw Feminist|gender]]." She's lightened up considerably in recent years, though.
▲** Alice and her Fist Of Death on the other hand...
* In ''[[Peanuts]]'', Lucy van Pelt's temper is legendary.
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
Line 217 ⟶ 218:
* Zuko from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' has this tendency, especially before {{spoiler|his [[Heel Face Turn]]}}. Quite appropriate for a [[Hot-Blooded]] character with [[Playing with Fire|fire-based]] [[Personality Powers]].
* Nicole, the mother in ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball]]'', goes from "sweet, caring mother" to "so angry she punches a hole in the wall" at the drop of a hat.
* [[Big Bad|Father]] from ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' has a fiery and explosive temper, [[Kill It
* Spike the bulldog from [[Tom and Jerry]].
* Kyle Broflovski from ''[[South Park]]'' is quite easily pissed off. Usually because of something Cartman says or does.
