You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry: Difference between revisions

[[File:Aangry 7702.png|link=Avatar: The Last Airbender|frame|You might still like him, but you're screwed anyway.]]

 

 

A [[Super-Trope]] for when you just don't want to tick off a character. Bad things will happen, which can include:

* [[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.

 

Compare [[Madness Tropes]] and [[Don't Make Me Destroy You]].

{{examples}}

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

** Son Gohan. Any Saiyan for that matter, but Gohan most.

** Piccolo too.

* 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.

 

* [[Trope Namer|Named]] after [[Marvel Comics]]'s Bruce Banner (a.k.a. the [[Incredible Hulk]]), who uses this line to warn people of his [[Hulking Out]] ability. [[Tempting Fate|It doesn't always work.]]

* [[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''.

 

== [[Film]] ==

{{quote|"There are aspects of my personality that I can't control, and when I lose control, it's very dangerous to be around me."}}

 

* In ''[[Nightside|A Hard Day's Knight]]'', John and Suzie use their own variant to intimidate an uncooperative laundromat employee:

{{quote|'''Shotgun Suzie:''' You really want me to get cranky?

* 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|'''Banner:''' Mr. McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't ''like me'' when I'm angry.}}

* It's been said in later episodes of ''[[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|'''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.}}

** [[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.

** Data from ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' (without the emotional chip) is literally impossible to piss off. However, as shown in "[[Star Trek: The Next Generation/Recap/S3/E22 The Most Toys|The Most Toys]]", 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.''

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

* In the "Grim Tales" quest in ''[[RuneScape]]'', Glod the Giant shouts "[[Hulk Speak|You wouldn't like Glod when Glod angry!]]"

 

* Inverted in [http://darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0613.html this] ''[[Darths and Droids]]'': "You won't like me when I'm calm."

 

** 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 (animation)|Teen Titans]]'', as a result of being [[Half-Human Hybrid|half-demon]]. The result of ticking her off is a demonic form that is less powerful than the Avatar State above, but probably worse to have as an enemy, as Raven can get downright ''sadistic'' when she's like this. Poor [[Harmless Villain|Dr. Light]] never did get over [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3HsSAXNLdU what she did to him...]

'''[[Voice of the Legion|Demon Raven]]''': ''What's the matter? Afraid of the dark?''}}

:* Then, a season or two later:

* In an episode of ''[[Dexter's 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".

** [[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.
