Line 47:
* Briefly seen on ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'', during "Gaston".
* In ''[[Friday the 13th (film)|Jason X]]'', two guys playing a holographic video game have their characters (controlled mentally) killed by Jason, so they quit in frustration. It doesn't take a genius to realize how events played out after that.
* A bar brawl version of this happens in the first scene of ''[[Way of the Gun]]'', as pointed out by the director in the commentary. The two antiheroes square off against an angry man and a number of his friends. Heavily outnumbered, they realize that they're going to get beaten up anyway, so they throw their first punch at the guy's girlfriend, spoiling his victory.
Line 63:
* On a [[Celebrity Edition]] of ''[[Wheel of Fortune]]'' in November 1997, [[William Shatner]] got mad because he was in last place after the second round. He rage-quit and Julie Pinson came in to play the rest of the game for him.
* An episode of ''[[According to Jim]]'', Andy turns off the video game before he can lose to Gracie.
* [[Your Mileage May Vary|Arguably justified]] in the US Season 15 of ''[[The Amazing Race]]''. One team was eliminated at the starting line, and they were so mad they just up and left and didn't even attend the finale. The part where people were sympathetic to them was that they didn't even get to leave the country, or even go through the first leg of the race. One fan compared it to qualifying for the olympics and being eliminated during the opening ceremony.
** Nick of Nick and Vicki got mad and quit in the middle of a task in Season 17. [[It Got Worse]] when the episode in question turned out to be a non-elimination, which meant that the audience had to suffer their presence for another episode.
* Lisi in the American ''[[Survivor]]'' [[Rage Quit]] too, but instead of just walking out and leaving, [[Suicide by Cop|simply asked everyone to vote her out.]]
Line 83:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* A common rage quitting tactic in most games, especially RTS games, is for the loser to cut their own internet connection so that they would get disconnected rather than taking a loss, as well as spiting their opponents by forcing them wait for their connection to the server to time out. This tactic is commonly dubbed "plug pulling", and most games now count disconnects as automatic losses.
* ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'': Actually, Valve makes fun of this with the Pyro's "BarbeQueQ" achievement, which is awarded if a player you are Dominating ends up leaving the server you are currently playing in.
** An achievement for the Spy, "Slash and Burn", is awarded if another player rage-switches to the Pyro class immediately after you kill him.
Line 89:
** Some servers will announce players on a losing side leaving the game as "RAGE QUIT!", with the requisite notification on your heads-up display and a [[Large Ham]] voice booming it so everyone can hear.
*** The pluggin is also common in ''[[Left 4 Dead]]'' (see below).
* Whenever somebody leaves the game shortly after dying in "[[Heroes of Newerth]]" the announcer yells out RRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAGGGEQUIT.
* In Sid Meier's ''[[Sim Golf]]'', NPC golfers will [[media:simgolf-ragequit_5806.gif|rage quit your golf course]] if their attitude levels drop too low, caused by a variety of factors, including [[Nintendo Hard|unfair]] [[Malevolent Architecture|hole layouts]], being bombarded by other golfers' balls, unkempt course grounds, and [[Unstable Equilibrium|seeing other golfers rage quit.]]
* In ''[[Red Dead Redemption]]'', vindictive players have the option of murdering everyone at the card table where they were just blasted out of the pot at poker.
