| - Basic Trope: Something that sends a character into a violent rage.
* Straight: Brad, normally the Only Sane Man, turns violent when somebody calls him a bastard.
* Exaggerated:

* Hair-Trigger Temper
* Justified:
* Straw that broke the camel's back -- or a violently sensitive topic.
* Brad's shoes were custom made for him by a dear now-deceased friend just before they died, the shoes now serve as a symbol of the lost friendship.
* Inverted:
* Brad being called a bastard causes him to mope.
* Alternatively Brad is The Berserker when he's not baking, referring to pastries really mellows him out.
* Brad usually has Hair-Trigger Temper when it comes someone talking to him unless someone calls him imbecile at which point he doesn't care.
* Subverted: Brad looks like he's going to snap, but he doesn't...
* Double Subverted:
* ...but then some more jeering sends him down the deep end completely.
* Or it just looks like he didn't snap, because he went into Tranquil Fury.
* Zig Zagged: After being pushed too far, Brad picks a fight with the scoundrel but is horribly outmatched. Now his face makes his shoes look intact by comparison.
* Parodied: Brad's occasionally driven to violence, even to the point of challenging someone to a chicken race once, whenever someone messes with his shoes.
* Deconstructed: Brad's reaction to his Berserk Buttons get him into deep trouble with horrifying consequences for all.
* Reconstructed: ... but he has made sure NO ONE will ever make fun of his shoes again
* Averted: The things that would be Brad's berserk buttons don't bother him at all.
* Enforced: The writers want to show that even nice guys can break.
* Lampshaded: "Don't do that. He'll break your neck if you do."
* Invoked: "I heard that he's sensitive about his shoes. Let's spill mustard on them and see what happens!"
* Exploited:
* Jack, the hero, uses Bob's Berserk Button to take down the Dark Lord.
* A villain uses Bob's Berserk Button to get him in serious trouble with the authorities or get him killed.
* Defied: "You think that's going to piss me off?! Ha! You're wrong!"
* Discussed: "Just...don't mention that one thing around him. Trust me on this one, okay?"
* Conversed: "Oooh, that character is being set up as an idiot." "How do you know?" "He just called Brad a bastard... a second time."
* Played For Laughs: Bob's Berserk Button itself and/or his reaction when it gets pressed is utterly ridiculous.
* Played For Drama: Bob's Berserk Button leads to someone getting hurt or even killed, leading to everything going to hell for him. Don't go back to Berserk Button, OR I WILL BREAK YOUR FACE BITCH!
