[[AC:ComicStrips]]
* Never try to convince ComicStrip/{{Baldo}}'s dad that [[GratuitousSpanish "Taco Bell Spanish"]] is actual Spanish.
* In ''ComicStrip/{{Heathcliff}}'', don't mess with [[OneShotCharacter the Great Bazooli's]] cat. (The Great Bazooli is a knife thrower who leaves Grandpa Nutmeg against the wall surrounded by knives over a NoodleIncident wrought by Heathcliff).
* In ''ComicStrip/KnightsOfTheDinnerTable'', no-one should ever touch Bob's dice, as Nitro, an ex-Marine, discovered to his everlasting humiliation.
* A ''ComicStrip/KrazyKat'' strip has Bum Bill Bee repeatedly stinging Ignatz over a deceptively realistic fake flower.
* ''ComicStrip/{{Luann}}'': Don't interfere with Rosa if Gunther is around.

[[AC:{{Manhwa}}]]
* Telling Shem from ''Manhwa/ArkAngels'' that you've stolen her favorite bear-print panties quite literally sends her into a berserker rage which gives her super-strength.
* ''Manhwa/TheBreaker'': Don't ever say the vice-principal has a [[http://manga.animea.net/the-breaker-chapter-1-8-page-70.html "shitty car"]] or damage his car.
* From ''Manhwa/DorothyOfOz'': Mara doesn't like being called "Dorothy".
* Haji from ''Manhwa/HotBloodedWoman'' really hates being called a puppy. Since her full name, "Kang Haji", sounds like the Korean word for "puppy", she really hates it when people call her by her full name.
* Pamela from ''Manhwa/TheTarotCafe'' doesn't like being called an old lady.
** For Alecto it's mentioning Pamela's name.
* ''Manhwa/{{Yureka}}'': Referring to the real Yureka as "Fake Yureka".
** Mentioning Lotto's height deficiencies.
* Shuuichi, from ''Manhwa/ZeroTheBeginningOfTheCoffin'', doesn't like being called "White Hair" and harming his family.
* Seunghee, from ''Manhwa/ZippyZiggy'', really hates perverts and being called "old".
** Mispronouncing Duckchill's name.

[[AC:{{Manhua}}]]

In comedic works, the Berserk Button tends to be a physical feature that the character is insecure or in denial about, like their {{height|Angst}}. Animals don't seem to like having their [[IAmNotWeasel species misidentified]]. Comedic Berserk Buttons are often used to make an otherwise unflappable character lose their cool and go off on a hilarious rant. In cartoons, you can usually tell when a Berserk Button has been hit when the character who has it turns bright red and [[BurningWithAnger steam starts shooting out their ears]]. Dramatic Berserk Buttons tend to be reserved for things that strike a bit too CloseToHome for a character, and when it gets hit, the resulting rage is usually tragic, terrifying, or awesome.

** If you lock up Hakann, he'll '''END''' you for sure.
** Never take photos of Thok, as that camera learned the hard way.

If a person seems to get angry over anything and everything, they have a HairTriggerTemper. For the negative effects of hitting the Berserk Button, see YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry. For the trope's opposite, see KindnessButton. See also TraumaButton and MiseryTrigger. Compare and contrast RageBreakingPoint, where it's a series of events that disables them from holding back anymore. If a person gets angry that other people aren't taking a (very unimportant) thing seriously, see SeriousBusiness. For things that set the ''fandom itself'' off, see FandomEnragingMisconception. If a character dreams about their Berserk Button, that's an IrritationNightmare, although not all Irritation Nightmares are about a Berserk Button. Can overlap with MamaBear or PapaWolf if the button is messing with their child(ren). If the button is the theft of their TrademarkFavoriteFood, then they may have a LostFoodGrievance.
