[[AC: Comic books]]

* {{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 LexLuthor that he intentionly does things ''just to piss Superman off''.

* Zappa from ''GuiltyGear''. Although he's more of a "You Wouldn't Like Me When [[DemonicPossession My Ghosts]] Are Angry", his profile in the manual mentions this trope by name.

* 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 [[{{MIB}} spooks]] who just arrested her and her son):
--> "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."

* Yuuri from KyouKaraMaou is [[TheMessiah as nice as they come]]. However [[BewareTheNiceOnes if you start hurting innocent people or those close to him...]]

* TropeNamer is ''TheIncredibleHulk'' 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.

** However, this is actually an instance of TrailersAlwaysLie, because the phrase is shown in the initial title sequence as a description of the rage-induced transformations, when is actually said in the pilot ''before Banner suffers the gamma ray overdose''.

* Shizuo Heiwajima from ''Literature/{{Durarara}}''. Granted, it's generally in good form not to piss off people with SuperStrength in general, but ''especially'' when the possessor of SuperStrength in question also appears to have a severe case of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_explosive_disorder IED]]

** I.e. Unleashing the SuperpoweredEvilSide.

* Son Gohan from ''DragonBall''. Any Saiyajin for that matter, but Gohan most.
** Piccolo too, and don't forget Chichi. Oooh, Chichi makes the Saiyajin squirm, and she's just a human...with a pan.

* You ''really'' don't want to piss off the Doctor from ''Series/DoctorWho''. 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.

* RageBreakingPoint (the character doesn't want to get angry, but eventually looses it)

->''"Lord, we give you Curly. Try not to piss him off."''
-->-- '''Cookie''', ''CitySlickers''

A SuperTrope for when you just don't want to tick off a character. Bad things will happen, which can include:
[[index]]
* AngstNuke (the character explodes destructively out of sheer rage)
* BerserkButton (when pissing off comes from a specific thing)
* BewareTheNiceOnes (when a particularly nice character ''snaps out'')
* HairTriggerTemper (when it's really hard ''not'' to piss a character off)
* HulkingOut (HULK SMASH!)
* RelativeButton
* TranquilFury (the character's ready to tear you apart in a seemingly calm manner)
* UnstoppableRage
[[/index]]

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.

PsychoactivePowers can sometimes involve this.

!!Examples:

[[AC:{{Anime}} & {{Manga}}]]
* [[DragonBall Son Gohan.]] Any Saiyajin for that matter, but Gohan most.
* Shizuo Heiwajima from ''{{Durarara}}''. Granted, it's generally in good form not to piss off people with SuperStrength in general, but ''especially'' when the possessor of SuperStrength in question also appears to have a severe case of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_explosive_disorder IED]]
* 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.

[[AC:{{Film}}]]
* Quote comes from ''CitySlickers'', when Curly is being buried. The cook can only think of that as a eulogy.
* Making {{Godzilla}} angry is a very, ''very'', '''VERY''' bad idea. Doing so will result in a major city (often Tokyo) being destroyed.
* ''RockyHorrorPictureShow'': It's a bad idea to anger [[TimCurry Dr. Frank N Furter]]. Eddie and [[strike:Janet Weiss]] [[FanNickname SLUT!]] had to learn this the hard way.
* The documentary (read: hour-long advertisement) available on the Extended Edition [=DVD=] for ''{{Underworld}}'' featured a self-proclaimed RealLife(!) werewolf who named this trope exactly. [[{{Narm}} Not all that intimidating]].
* The 2008 ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'' film. Bruce Banner butchers his catchphrase 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.
--> "There are aspects of my personality that I can't control, and when I lose control, it's very dangerous to be around me."

[[AC:LiveActionTV]]
* TropeNamer is ''TheIncredibleHulk'' TV series.
* It's been said in recent episodes of ''{{Torchwood}}'' that it's best not to piss Jack off.
** You also ''really'' don't want to piss off [[DoctorWho The Doctor]]. There's a ''reason'' the Daleks, a race of [[OmnicidalManiac Omnicidal Maniacs]] capable of wiping out all life in the universe, hate and fear him so much.
* It is also best to not piss [[TwentyFour Jack]] off.
* Also, [[NotSoStoic pissing off]] {{Spock}} would be...[[{{Understatement}} illogical.]] It's very hard to do, but once you manage it, ThisIsGonnaSuck doesn't cover your fate.

[[AC:WebOriginal]]
* Hulky of KlayWorld says this word-for-word before [[InvokedTrope 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 WhateleyUniverse story "Tales of the [=MCO=]" when a commercial break comes. It's the Merchant-Ivory production of "Hulk 1809":
--> My lord, please do not make me angry. Thou wouldst not like me when I am most angered.

[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* The Avatar State in ''AvatarTheLastAirbender''.
* Raven from TeenTitans, as a result of being [[HalfHumanHybrid 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 [[HarmlessVillain Dr. Light]] never did get over what she did to him...)

[[AC:VideoGames]]
* Doc Louis's PunchOut 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 BerserkButton. 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. [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard Right after pulling out another chocolate bar and healing himself out of your attack range.]]
* Zappa from ''GuiltyGear''. Although he's more of a "You Wouldn't Like Me When [[DemonicPossession My Ghosts]] Are Angry", his profile in the manual mentions this trope by name.
--> "Don't make him angry! [[ShoutOut You won't like him when he's angry!]]"

* Name comes from the ''Comicbook/IncredibleHulk'' TV series.

[[AC:{{Comics}}]]
* The Incredible Hulk is the trope namer. Making David Banner upset turns him into the Hulk, bad enough. Making the Hulk mad makes him stronger, which is worse.
