Berserk Button

Go To


  • 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft: Don't brag about your video-gaming skills in front of Brandon or NonStJon. Both are going to slaughter you.
  • Animatic Battle: An exaggerated example. Doorstopper is usually very calm and tranquil, but if you even threaten to pluck her grass, her first instinct will be to find you and shoot you with a SPAS-12 shotgun.
  • Battle for Dream Island: Needle automatically slaps anyone who calls her "Needy".
    • Do NOT call Flower "ugly". If you do, she will end you. Don't insult her fashion line in BFB either.
    • Do not throw forks at Four, unless you want to be zapped to death.
    • Woody doesn't take being given a cardboard box as a present very well.
    • Do not, we repeat, do NOT reject Leafy's helpfulness. It won't be pretty.
    • When Fanny finds out Loser lied, she doesn't take it well.
    • You really shouldn't call Puffball "Puffy".
    • Finally, don't insult Yellow Face's products.
  • Dayum: The “Google Hater” from “Types of Doctors Portrayed by Minecraft # 2” beats Eden up just because she uses Google to diagnose herself.
  • Dungeon Flippers: Maulie is usually endlessly cheerful and happy to work with any problems her work brings, but there is a specific brand of client that genuinely pisses her off: Those that are powerful enough to make anything happen yet have zero creative drive and no capacity for imagination. The reasons for this are both labor-related (selling a home to someone with no mind for renovations and who can't visualize your suggestions is rough) and personal (as a boundlessly-creative but non-magical and penniless manticore, she has the opposite problem and it stings her). She ends up snapping at the Ace of Wands for being this exact type of customer, with words harsh enough to genuinely cut at his ego, and she readily admitted she had been close to violence before that.
  • Epithet Erased: Despite being a bounty hunter, Zora is usually pretty chill and even somewhat friendly, even when you're her target. She does have one thing guaranteed to piss her off, though - don't break her guns. She flips out and tackles Ramsay in a rage after he deliberately pushes this button.
    • Don't call Sylvie a kid. It's the only thing that makes him drop his cool, mature facade and get genuinely angry. Not that this really stops other characters from doing it.
  • Fazbear and Friends (ZAMination):
    • Never say magic is real in front of Puppet.
    • Don't cheat on Green Light Red Light because that will result in death.
    • Don't call Foxy "Boris", just like Bendy does to make him angry.
    • Don't try to pay Mommy Long Legs in Bitcoin.
    • Don't question the game, otherwise he will come to life and he'll start yelling at you for criticizing him badly.
    • Don't sing about the color black in front of the Rainbow Friends, just like what happened to Yellow Guy when he got his eyes gouged out for mentioning black.
    • Don't ruin Circus Baby's dream to her, this will lead to a violent fit of rage that will begin to hit you.
    • Purple Guy doesn't like it when you mention any color other than purple, he will burst into anger when you do.
    • Don't vandalize Playtime CO just like Huggy Wuggy does to Girl Player for trespassing.
    • Don't ask logical questions to the Masked Manager, he'll just ignore you.
  • Happy Tree Friends:
    • If you damage or vandalize Buddhist Monkey's books or garden, he will end you.
    • Flippy has this in the form of war induced PTSD. Anything that reminds him of the war will case him to lose control and turn into a homicidal maniac.
  • hololive's Polka Omaru hates being told she has a "potato" PC (bad computer) and insists she has a beef PC (a superior, top of the line computer). After 2ManySnacks did a fan animation of Polka's computer woes, Gawr Gura teased her about it on Minecraft and got flaming arrows shot back as punishment.
  • Homestar Runner: Strong Sad does not like it when people mispronounce the word "pseudonym".
  • In the Ranger Up military humor series The Damn Few, if you say the word "pirate" around Sealy, he starts blazing away with a submachine gun. (Arguably a Damn You, Muscle Memory! moment, as Sealy doesn't actually get angry.)
  • In Hunter: The Parenting, Big D gets (even more) violently homicidal at the mere mention of landlords.
    • Shitbeard, one of the Licks, really hates it whenever people try volunteering to be Embraced stemming from his hatred of his vampire life.
  • DSBT InsaniT: For Koden, it's mentioning that disaster of a party.
  • If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device: The Emperor has more than one:
    • Religion. Even if it's worshiping him. Especially if it's worshiping him.
    • Not fighting in a melee. When he learns that Tau avoid close quarter combat, he's one step from ordering them exterminated.
    • Other characters have their own as well: Kitten gets uncharacteristically furious at any mention of Tau and Marneus Calgar practically starts foaming from his mouth at any mention of his Chapter's flaws.
      • When it comes to Kitten, it gets even better/worse when anyone mentions his relationship with Shadowsun. He gets so furious, even Magnus leans back.
    • Speaking of Magnus, he tends to be Enraged by Idiocy, and has bouts of impressive nerd rage if you start audibly flicking your cards while playing a children's card game, but he truly goes berserk when anyone brings up the Space Wolves, and especially Leman Russ, who he despises.
    • The last one's mutual; mentioning Magnus to Leman Russ will send him into a Warp-shaking Tranquil Fury. There's also pretending (whether you believe it or not) that you're the Emperor in front of him, which will lead to a Megaton Punch.
    • Don't call Fabius Bile "Bob" even if you're one of the Chaos Gods' greatest champions; he will try to knock you the fuck out anyways.
    • Rogal Dorn will get "slightly infuriated" at the repeated destruction of perfectly good furniture for the sake of shitty slapstick. It doesn't sound like much, but he is massively stoic and the fact he even reacts to this is notable. On a more serious note, dealing with Black Templars (he never really got over banishing Sigismund) is a surefire way to make the Tranquil Fury start building to genuinely threatening levels.
  • Mount Arlington from NJT Elimination hates being called a Plauderville rip-off
  • OverSimplified: Do not tell the people of Bologna that their bucket is "just a bucket." If you do, you'll be pelted with fruits and vegetables and kicked out of their town.
  • RWBY: If you dare damage Yang's hair, she will kick your ass. Doesn't matter whether you are a bazooka wielding gang leader (sent flying through the window), a demonic bear (punched to death) or the hairdresser for her first haircut (first use of her Semblance: the poor man's fate unknown). A lecherous bandit even attempted to stroke her hair and she punched him so hard he bounced out the building like a tennis ball.
  • RWBY Chibi: Yang's boisterous personality gets her labelled "tomboy" by other characters. If anyone says it to her face, however, they can expect a Megaton Punch.
  • Shishihara: Sota really doesn't like it when people comment on his height.
  • Smash Kingdom:
    • Don't ever try to continuously fart near Mewtwo, or else, even at the cost of his own job, he will end up mind-wiping you, as Wario learned the hard way.
    • There are 2 things that Ganondorf does not tolerate: Vaati implying that Ganon's time as a villain is up, and villains not getting the hint that they were not accepted into the group. He blows them up to the shock and horror of his comrades.
  • Snarled: In "Beware the old Higue", Dalion learns the hard way to never touch Mrs. Benwari's finger knitting projects, especially without her permission.
  • Sock Series: The smoking demon gets crazy and bites a god to death for (unintentionally) putting of their cigarette.
  • Web Animation/Solarballs: Venus hates it when you tell him that he's the goddess of love and beauty (which he was named after).
  • Sonic Zombie: Tails would go ballistic should any person use his tacos to summon a giant monster, or say they're hungry for one, it would make him tear them to pieces.
  • Spill: Please don't ask Carlyle a Dark Knight question on ACOCO. He will flame you on air.
  • TOME: Don't call Rockoon a rodent.

    Rockoon: NOT A RODENT! Do I LOOK like a lab rat!? READ A BOOK! Go to a frickin' ZOO! SHEESH!

  • Ultimate Heroes For Hire: Do not call Cassandra a Damsel in Distress... Just... don't...
  • Vision of Escaflowne Abridged: Played for Laughs with Allen.

    Mole Man: That's strange. Usually with these chronic womanizer types, it's the mother they have issues with.
    Allen: My mother was a saint. YOU TAKE THAT BACK, YOU SON-OF-A-BITCH!
    Allen's Men: (from outside) Ha ha, sounds like somebody pushed the Mommy Button.

  • Wolf Song: The Movie: Do not inform Cobalts superiors of his cowardice, deny his Self-Applied Nickname or look at him in a non submissive manner if you are his subordinate. At best you will be yelled at, but at worst, expect some horrible fate coming your way
