Line 50:
* The documentary (read: hour-long advertisement) available on the Extended Edition DVD for ''[[Underworld (film)|Underworld]]'' featured a self-proclaimed werewolf who named this trope exactly.
* The 2008 ''[[The Incredible Hulk (film)|The Incredible Hulk]]'' film. Bruce Banner butchers his catchphrase by way of a bad translation and proceeds to fight as normal. In the novelization, he says it to two college girls who just laugh at him, since the phrase is full of [[Narm]]. However, the film did also have a variation on the phrase which was pretty good.
{{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."}}
 
== Literature ==
* 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?<br />
'''John Taylor:''' You wouldn't like her when she's cranky. }}
* In ''[[Legacy of the Force]]'', Luke gives Jacen a quote almost identical.
Line 60:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* [[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.}}
* ''[[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| "...I even hear rumours about whose child you've taken. Are you ''mad''? [Pause] You know the stories about the Doctor? The things that man has done? ''God help us if you've made him angry!''"<br />
(''from the actual episode'')<br />
"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.
Line 78:
* Doc Louis's ''[[Punch Out]]'' plays this completely straight. Midway through the fight, Louis pulls out a chocolate bar that he'll eat and restore all his health with if not interrupted. However, punching the bar out of his hand is the ultimate way to push his [[Berserk Button]]. He immediately flips out with the phrase - "NOOOOOO! NOW You've done it! You won't like Doc when he's angry!", proceeds to rip off his jacket, and his attack speed doubles. [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard|Right after pulling out another chocolate bar and healing himself out of your attack range.]]
* Zappa from ''[[Guilty Gear]]''. Although he's more of a "You Wouldn't Like Me When [[Demonic Possession|My Ghosts]] Are Angry", his profile in the manual mentions this trope by name.
{{quote| "Don't make him angry! [[Shout-Out|You won't like him when he's angry!]]"}}
* In the "Grim Tales" quest in ''[[Runescape]]'', Glod the Giant shouts "[[Hulk Speak|You wouldn't like Glod when Glod angry!]]"
 
Line 85:
* 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| My lord, please do not make me angry. Thou wouldst not like me when I am most angered.}}
* 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.}}
* [[The Nostalgia Critic]] might still be pathetic when he's having his little boy rages, but he has a tendency to explode buildings accidentally when he's like that.
