{{examples}}
 
== Anime and Manga ==
* When [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Edward Elric's]] brother {{spoiler|sacrifices himself, the person who caused Al to do that has some serious problems.}} This is after many an Al-related violent encounter. Don't mess with Edward Elric's family. Don't.
Line 34:
 
== Literature ==
* This occurs in ''[[Harry Potter]] and the [[Philosopher's Stone (novel)|Harry Potter and Thethe Philosopher's Stone|Philosopher's / Sorcerer's Stone]]'', when Harry, upon meeting Voldemort for the first time, is taunted that he will die like his parents, that they died "Begging [Voldemort] for mercy." Not quite the same, but it gives Harry strength.
** Insulting Harry's parents is a very effective way of getting him to fly off the handle. Pushing that button was, after all, [[Title Drop|Aunt Marge's big mistake]].
** In the final book, [[The Dragon|Bellatrix]] taunts Molly Weasley about {{spoiler|Fred's death}} while targeting Ginny, resulting in: "[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|NOT MY DAUGHTER,]] [[Precision F-Strike|YOU BITCH!]]"

** No prizes for guessing [https://web.archive.org/web/20141022035115/http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=071221 what Gwynn does next].
* As part of [[Evil Twin|Nale's]] backstory in ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'', he once tried to usurp power from [[The Man Behind the Man|his father]]. During the conflict, Nale killed several children of his father's friend/adviser Malack. When the two run into each other again, Nale's first comment to Malack is "Malack. How's the family?" Malack [[Curb Stomp Battle|goes]] ''[[Unstoppable Rage|berserk]]''.
