▲{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Grenadier]]'' - The manga opens with a bunch of mooks damaging Rushuna's hat. She goes ballistic, shoots them, and gets repaid for it by the dazed goons.
* ''[[Tower of God]]
* Luffy of ''[[One Piece]]'' knocks Buggy the Clown into next week after Buggy damages Luffy's straw hat.
* The first episode of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] A's'' has Nanoha damaging Vita's [[Nice Hat]]. Two minutes later, Nanoha's [[Deflector Shields]] are shattered, her Barrier Jacket's destroyed, her [[Wrecked Weapon|weapon's wrecked]], and she's been smashed through a building and into a wall, completely defeated.
* In [[Gender Bender|Ranma]] and [[The Rival|Ryouga]]'s first duel in ''[[Ranma
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* When [[Superboy]] had to capture the former Intergang boss Steelhand (to have it televised by the WGBS chanel), a bus hits him against a building and causes an explosion. He is unscathed, save for... "Okay, one thing is trying to kill me... but that was my ONLY jacket!" He even brought it again during Tana Moon's interview. Luckily, WGBS agreed to provide him of a supply of jackets as part of his contract.
* Hilariously [https://www.deviantart.com/phantomskyler/art/Super-Smash-Sisters-Inkling-Troubles-749713274 played for laughs here] in this ''[[Super Smash Bros]]'' one-panel cartoon, where Zelda complains about the "Inkling brats" ruining her dress. The joke, of course, is that the Inklings are among the new characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros Ultimate]]'', and would be considered "newbies" to the older characters.
* When Yajirobe breaks Vegeta's armor in ''[[Dragon Ball Abridged]]'', Vegeta gets pissed.▼
'''Vegeta:''' ''[[Hypocritical Humor|How dare you talk about my father that way]]!'' }}▼
== [[Film]] ==
Line 38 ⟶ 48:
** He then proceeds to get his butt kicked.
* ''[[Spaceballs]]''- Lonestar, Barf, Vespa and Dot are running for Lonestar's ship to get off of Spaceball 1.
{{quote|
'''Barf''': Holy shit! }}
* In the otherwise eminently forgettable horror movie ''[[Film/Seven Days To Live|Seven Days To Live]]'', the main character attempts at one point to defend herself from her (driven insane by the movie's evil house) husband by stabbing him in the midsection with a screwdriver. Later in the movie he has her tied up and gagged and one of the things he tells her during his mad ramblings is, "Look at this. You ruined my favourite shirt and a perfectly good kidney."
* ''[[Maverick (film)|Maverick]]''. The title character gets angry (or possibly pretends to) when his shirt is damaged during a fight.
{{quote|
== [[Literature]] ==
* Used without the [[Berserk Button]] in a Star Wars NJO novel. [[Proud Warrior Race|Barabel]] Jedi Tesar Sebatyne gets shot during a boarding action. Leia asks how bad it is. The response? "Bad... my best robe. This really ''burns'' me." Then he laughs and goes to kick all kinds of rear, [[Badass|since that's how Barabels are]].
* Used as a [[Major Injury Underreaction]] in ''[[
== [[Live
* "This is my best top, dammit!" ~ Ace Rimmer, ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' episode "Stoke Me a Clipper", directly after being fatally shot in the chest, and directly before killing the Nazis responsible. What a guy!
* On ''[[Friends]]'', Chandler does this to Joey by pulling on the back of his jersey during their thanksgiving football game.
{{quote|
"Well, now you have two!" }}
* Kendra from the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' episode "What's My Line Part 2".
{{quote|
* In [[The Beverly Hillbillies]], Mr. Dreisdale's (Jed's Banker who wishes to keep the titular Hillbillies happy) first introduction to Jed Clampet (the patriarch) is when he grabs a ruffian who was holding up the workers at the Clampet estate and asks if he knew of Jed Clampet. Jed's response is along the lines of "I am Jed Clampet and I'd appreciate it if you let go of my Sunday shirt." In a very (uncharacteristically) angry tone.
* Played with in an episode of ''[[Get Smart]]''. Max is losing a fencing duel against wheelchair-bound evil mastermind Leadside, until Leadside slices one of the buttons off Max's shirt.
{{quote|
''Fight continues, but now with Max winning.''
''Max throws one of Leadside's lackeys out the window.''
'''Leadside:''' "My mother gave me that henchman! Thank you, Mr. Smart, I needed that!" }}
* Related, though not quite fitting as it's not a human destroying it: one ''[[Seinfield]]'' episode features Jerry lamenting the slow death of "Golden Boy", his best shirt, slowly fading to the point of being unwearable due to overwashing.
Line 69 ⟶ 79:
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* [http://xkcd.com/405/ This] ''[[Xkcd]]'' strip has a character use a stolen Russian submarine to retrieve his [[Nice Hat]].
* [[Girly]] Subverted it [https://web.archive.org/web/20130603124154/http://girlyyy.com/go/423 here]
* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' Bun-Bun has this reaction when Aylee accidentally erases his ''[[Baywatch]]'' tapes. He goes even more homicidal than usual. "I'm going to hunt you all down if it takes ''forever''! I'm going to be the ''freaking Terminator'' on your collective butts! I will ''never'' stop! ''Never!'' ''NEVER!''"

Line 84 ⟶ 86:
* In ''[[Clerks the Animated Series]]''... well... Randal, in harsh captivity, tears his shirt and writes a note to Dante on it in his blood, which ends with "Also, I ruined the shirt I borrowed from you."
* A bit of a [[Running Gag]] on the old ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987|TMNT]]'' show.
{{quote|
* An episode of ''[[The Mask (animation)|The Mask]]'' had the Mask chase an assassin robot to the future just because he had damaged his suit. {{spoiler|Sure enough, it was a trap.}}
* ''[[Pac-Man (animation)|Pac-Man]]''; Super-Pac gets [[Berserk Button| ''really'' angry]] when the Ghost Monsters' goo-gun gets goo all over his superhero costume...
