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?

* In ''[[Legacy of the Force]]'', Luke gives Jacen a quote almost identical.

 

{{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.}}

** 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]]s 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.

** 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 ''[[24]]'' off.

 

== [[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."

 

* The Avatar State in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', as seen in the page pic.

** 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.

* 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]]''.
