A [[Super-Trope]] for when you just don't want to tick off a character. Bad things will happen, which can include:
* [[Angst Nuke]] (the character explodes destructively out of sheer rage)
* [[Awakening the Sleeping Giant]]: An entire group is roused from its neutrality and is ''not'' happy about it.
* [[Bad Mood As an Excuse]] (when trying to talk out a person who isn't in the mood, only to get lashed out on)
* [[Berserk Button]] (when pissing off comes from a specific thing)
Line 18 ⟶ 19:
* [[Tranquil Fury]] (the character's ready to tear you apart in a seemingly calm manner)
* [[Unstoppable Rage]] (the character gets righteously pissed and pulls out all the stops to take you down)
It doesn't matter if the character is the hero, villain, supporting character, or bystander. Just don't piss off this character if you don't want big trouble.
Line 25:
Compare [[Madness Tropes]] and [[Don't Make Me Destroy You]].

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[
** Son Gohan. Any Saiyan for that matter, but Gohan most.
** Piccolo too.
** Chichi. She makes the Saiyan squirm, and she's just a human...with a [[Frying Pan of Doom|pan.]]
* Shizuo Heiwajima from ''[[Durarara
* Shinigami in ''[[Soul Eater]]'', and his son Kid on a smaller scale. Yes, other characters cause greater damage than usual when angered, but these two spread it around more, whether to pyramids or an entire city.
* [[Naruto]] can give even the Trope Namer himself a run for his money in this department in his kyuubi forms.
* [[The Berserker|Natsu]] of ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' is an example of this, as the ''[[Berserk Button|flame of emotion]]'' that is the source of power for his Dragon Slayer magic causes him to actually become stronger the angrier he gets.
* Yuuri from ''[[Kyo Kara Maoh
* Luffy, from ''[[
* Setsuna, from ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', is a quiet and polite girl who prefers to stay in the background. Usually, she's really calm and composed even in the heat of battle. But don't, just don't you dare harming [[Les Yay|Konoka]] unless you want her to butcher you in split-seconds.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* [[Trope Namer|Named]] after [[Marvel Comics]]'s Bruce Banner (a.k.a. the [[
* [[Superman]] is one of the nicest guys in the universe. But if someone gets him angry, they find out just how powerful he really is. It says a lot about [[Lex Luthor]] that he intentionally does things ''just to piss Superman off''.
* Crossing over with [[The Berserker]] for all intents and purposes is [[Wolverine]] who is often stated to be the ''one'' man in the [[Marvel Universe]] who can get angrier than the Hulk - just ask the Hulk himself. Anyone who does not run for cover when that happens will wish they had, as he has been known to slaughter whole armies at the peak of his rage.
== [[Film]] ==
Line 48 ⟶ 49:
* Making [[Godzilla]] angry is a very, ''very'', '''VERY''' bad idea. Doing so will result in a major city (often Tokyo) being destroyed.
* ''[[Rocky Horror Picture Show]]'': It's a bad idea to anger [[Tim Curry|Dr. Frank N Furter]]. Eddie and <s>Janet Weiss</s> [[Fan Nickname|SLUT!]] had to learn this the hard way.
* The documentary (read: hour-long advertisement) available on the Extended Edition DVD for ''[[Underworld (

== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[Nightside|A Hard Day's Knight]]'', John and Suzie use their own variant to intimidate an uncooperative laundromat employee:
{{quote|
'''John Taylor:''' You wouldn't like her when she's cranky. }}
* In ''[[Legacy of the Force]]'', Luke gives Jacen a quote almost identical.
== [[Live
* The [[Trope Namer]] is ''[[The Incredible Hulk (TV series)|The Incredible Hulk]]'' TV series, and its classic implied threat, delivered with a wonderfully understated and grim bemusement. And it's actually said ''before'' he becomes the Hulk.
{{quote|
** Deliberately echoed and inverted nearly ''fifty years later'' as the tagline in trailers for the [[Disney+]] [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] series, ''[[She-Hulk: Attorney at Law]]'':
* It's been said in later episodes of ''[[Torchwood (TV)|Torchwood]]'' that it's best not to piss Jack off. Take into mind this line from the ''Children of Earth'' miniseries (spoken by his daughter to the government spooks who just arrested her and her son):▼
{{quote|You'll ''like'' her when she's angry!}}
{{quote| '''Alice''': I can only assume you're using us as hostages against my father - but if you've done anything to anger him, then God help you.}}▼
▲* It's been said in later episodes of ''[[
* ''[[Doctor Who]]''--▼

** You ''really'' don't want to piss off the Doctor. That seemingly harmless oddball can tear the heavens apart and reshape reality if he really wants to. There's a ''reason'' the Daleks, a race of [[Omnicidal Maniac|Omnicidal Maniacs]] capable of wiping out all life in the universe, hate and fear him so much. They have no emotions, and they invented a name to call him; Destroyer of Worlds and The Oncoming Storm.▼

** Ditto River Song. Sarcastic, teasing, likes to banter. And - ''can make a '''Dalek''' beg for mercy''. Just... don't make her go there.
** Similarly, in the prequel to "A Good Man Goes to War":
{{quote|
(''from the actual episode'')
"If that man has started calling in his debts, then God help you... and God help his debtors." }}
** Surprisingly enough, Rory Williams. Kidnap one of his loved ones? Prepare to have [[Older Than He Looks|the Last]] [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Centurion]] blow up your star-fleet.
** And then there are the times he gets ''really'' angry and shows a side of himself you ''really'' don't want to see. One group of villains that made his ''this'' angry was the Family of Blood from the third season, four aliens who could possess the bodies of humans, doing so to achieve their goal of immortality. The punishments the Doctor inflicted on them were harsh but deserved: Father of Mine was bound in unbreakable chains and imprisoned in an underground chamber. Mother of Mine was thrown into the event horizon of a collapsing galaxy, trapping her there for all eternity. Daughter of Mine was trapped within every mirror in existence (possibly the member who got off easiest, as the Doctor would at least visit her once a year) and Son of Mine was locked in time stasis and forced to act as a scarecrow. Ironically, [[Ironic Hell| they got the immortality they had wanted]], just [[And I Must Scream|not the way they intended.]]
* It is also best to not piss Jack from ''[[
* Also, [[Not So Stoic|pissing off]] Spock from ''[[Star Trek the Original Series]]'' would be more than illogical. It's very hard to do, but once you manage it, [[This Is Gonna Suck]] doesn't cover your fate.▼
* ''[[Star Trek]]'':
** On a related note, Data (without the emotional chip) is literally impossible to piss off. However, if you threaten him with harming his friends, you'll face a superintelligent, super-strong, nigh-indestructible android who has decided that ''removing you from existence is the completely logical solution under the current circumstances.''▼

* The Fonz from ''[[Happy Days]]''; the whole reason he was always concerned with [[Running Gag|"losing his cool"]] as he put it was because he had a violent side he understandably did not want to show, which becomes obvious whenever an unsavory type tries to pick a fight with him.

Line 85 ⟶ 94:
* Hulky of ''[[Klay World]]'' says this word-for-word before [[Invoked Trope|somebody takes him up on the challenge]]. Averted in that he actually gets smaller, weaker, and perhaps stupider when he gets mad. {{spoiler|Played straight later on when he gets really mad and turns huge and smashes everything}}.
* Parodied in the [[Whateley Universe]] story "Tales of the MCO" when a commercial break comes. It's the Merchant-Ivory production of "Hulk 1809":
{{quote|
* The line is used in Lanipator's [[Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged]] movie, by Yukina, of all people. {{spoiler|It's promptly subverted when the villains ignore her and smash her into a wall.}}

== [[Western Animation]] ==
* The Avatar State in ''[[
** Some context: the Avatar is an individual who has the ability to control fire, earth, water, and air. When the Avatar state kicks in, they temporarily gain the combined knowledge ''and power'' of all the previous Avatars, of which there has been at least fifty generations. Until the Avatar learns how to control it, it will kick in when he/she is either in danger of dying or highly distressed. At which point, their tactics and moral considerations consist of: destroy threat. With extreme prejudice.
* Raven from ''[[Teen Titans (
** {{quote|'''Dr. Light:
'''[[Voice of the Legion|Demon Raven]]''': ''What's the matter? Afraid of the dark?''}}
:* Then, a season or two later:
* In an episode of ''[[Dexters Laboratory]]'', Dexter alters his tastebuds so he only like fruits and vegetables, but a side-effect is that he [[Hulk Out|Hulks out]] when he gets too hungry. He is denied food by someone later on, and uses a variation of the phrase, replacing "angry" with "hungry".▼
{{quote|'''Dr. Light''' ''(with a new, more powerful suit)'': Haha! You can never defeat me!
'''Raven''' ''[[Combat Tentacles|(best impersonation of her demonic half)]]'': Remember me?
'''Dr. Light:''' I'd like to go to jail now, please.}}
▲* In an episode of ''[[
** [[Hilarious in Hindsight|That same line happened]] (In Portuguese) in ''[[The Incredible Hulk]]''.
* [[Samurai Jack]] is ''usually'' a calm, stoic type, but when something happens to make him angry, ''run for cover''. This side of Jack shows prominently in episodes like "Mad Jack", "Jack and the Smackback", and ''many'' episodes of Season 5.
* ''[[Droopy]]''. Whenever he says (in his usual deadpan tone), "[[Let's Get Dangerous| You know what? ''That'' makes me ''mad'']]" you know the villain is in for a serious amount of hurt.
