Another one of the savvy's Stock Phrases. Just like how there are some things nobody is absolutely ever supposed to say, there are some objects the viewer/reader can instantly, instinctively tell nobody is ever supposed to touch: the singular artifact placed on a pedestal in the abandoned Temple of Doom, the Mineral MacGuffin locked in a treasure chest buried in a cave on an uncharted island, the glowing MacGuffin in a display case in the Diabolical Mastermind's study, or the Forbidden Fruit surrounded by signs that boldly warn DO NOT TOUCH! WILL CAUSE THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!
Who would be dumb enough to touch any of that? Fortunately for the plot, plenty of Genre Blind characters are, all the while ignoring their companion's warning of "Don't touch it, you idiot!" They never listen to them. Cue the rolling boulder/erupting volcano/invasion of Mooks/release of the Sealed Evil in a Can/ticking stink bomb and all their complications/a snarky "I Told You So."
In his analysis of the Fairy Tale, The Morphology of the Folktale, Vladimir Propp concluded that the functions "prohibition" and "disobedience" really formed a single plot function; any prohibition was bound to be violated.
This trope is for variations of a warning Stock Phrase. Otherwise, see Forbidden Fruit and Schmuck Bait (of which the Big Red Button labeled "DO NOT TOUCH" is a subtrope). Plus, if someone ever asks, "What Does This Button Do?", this is the only acceptable way to answer.
Not to be confused with Please, Don't Touch Anything.

In The Lost Vikings 2, one of the Vikings pushes a button labelled "Do Not Touch", thinking it read "Donut". This launches them across time and space, forcing them to have another quest to find their way home.

Bartholomew and the Oobleck:
Bartholomew, who already knows the oobleck's sticky nature, tries to tell the Royal Trumpeter not to touch it when some flies into his horn. The trumpeter has already grabbed it and winds up with his hand stuck inside the horn.
The Captain of the Guard, trying to prove that the oobleck is harmless, decides to demonstrate by eating some. Bartholomew tries to stop him, but he's not fast enough.

One task in Nancy Drew: The Secret of Shadow Ranch is to collect eggs from a henhouse. One chicken has a sign above her reading "Hey you! Don't even think about taking my eggs when I'm here. It makes me crazy!" If Nancy tries to collect eggs from her, she will get attacked. A second time, and she will get kicked off the ranch.

Sleepless Domain: Kokoro finds a tiny crab-like monster while out on patrol and immediately goes to pick it up. Undine, incredulous, blasts it out of her hands and warns her that, in spite of its small size, it very well may have had "weird powers or something." The monster then promptly falls back down, directly onto Kokoro's head.

A Thousand and One... Americas:
In the eighth episode, Chris is told about a delicious type of vegetable, the tuber or yuca, that is consumed in South America and the Caribbean; when he's next to one, he grabs it and tries to eat it. However, a girl who is accompanying him (Tiau) hastily takes it away from him, and scolds him by saying it's very dangerous to eat it raw and that it must be cooked first.
In the twenty-third episode, Lon approaches a cauldron where something with a deceptively delicious smell is boiling, and is then alerted by a Xingu native not to approach it (Chris then follows suit by scolding him). At first, Chris thinks the cauldron was cooking someone else's meal, but the native clarifies that the cauldron is actually concocting a juice derived from tuber, and it's extremely poisonous (it can only be consumed once it's fully prepared).
Near the end of the twenty-fifth episode, Chris is about to touch one of the statues shaped like serpent heads (located near the entrance to the temple dedicated to Quetzalcoatl), but the Toltec man who accompanies him hastily alerts him not to do so. Chris apologizes and then asks what the statues shaped like that represent (he only knows they're not portraying Quetzalcoatl), but the man tells him that it's a secret and then bids him farewell before departing to resume his Courier duties. Chris wakes up before curiosity starts taking away the best of him.

In Monsters University, the first event in the Scare Games is a race through an underground passageway littered with poisonous urchins. The host warns the contestants that "you don't want to be touched by these babies!", to which Art, Oozma Kappa's resident Cloudcuckoolander, responds with "I want to touch it." When the race begins, Art immediately dives towards one of the urchins and grabs it... and blows up like a balloon from the toxins.

The Chronicles of Prydain:
There are at least two major artifacts (and several minor ones) that can cause painful injury, or even instant death, if the wrong people try to handle or use them. The sword Dyrnwyn is the most plot-central example; the inscription on its hilt, visible above the sheath, begins: "Draw Dyrnwyn, only thou of royal blood." Taran, who grew up on a farm but doesn't know his true heritage, tries to draw it anyway, and his companion all but quotes the page title warning him not to. Eventually he decides to do it anyway. The sword promptly stuns him with a blinding flash. What, did you think he was King Arthur? Of course, it later turns out that Eilonwy had mistranslated the inscription, it really read "Draw Dyrnwyn, only thou of noble worth". After four books of Character Development, Taran is able to safely draw the sword.
Dallben warns people not to touch the Book of Three. Bad things happen when his warnings are ignored. Fortunately, the book seems to be somewhat sentient when it comes to people touching it. It punishes Taran's innocent curiosity with the equivalent pain of a few mere bee stings. King Pryderi, on the other hand, wants to steal the book and use its secrets to gain power, and he is not so lucky. According to the backstory, Dallben himself made this mistake. Touching it turned him from a youth to an old man overnight.

In one episode of That '70s Show, Eric is jealous of the attention his father Red gives to Hyde, and resolves to do something stupid to get Red to notice him. Kelso immediately suggests bouncing a bowling ball off the living room couch to see what would happen. Hyde insistently tries to warn Eric against doing this, but Eric refuses to listen. Of course, the bowling ball bounces off the couch and smashes through Red's TV set. Eric gets some attention from his father, all right...but not exactly the kind he was looking for.
Later in the episode he even kicks himself for thinking anything Kelso said was a good idea.

The Simpsons:
"Treehouse of Horror IV":
In "The Devil and Homer Simpson", Homer's sold his soul to the Devil for a doughnut — but he's smart enough to know if he doesn't eat it all the Devil doesn't get his soul. So later that night, as he's rummaging through the fridge, among lots of tasty goodies there's a chunk of doughnut surrounded by notes saying things like "DADDY'S SOUL DONUT" and "DON'T EAT". Of course, since Homer is half-asleep, and even at the best of times isn't too bright, he eats it anyway.
In "Bart Simpson's Dracula", when Bart is running from vampires, he sees a switch labeled "Super Fun Happy Slide". Despite knowing it would turn the stairs into a slide and send him right to the vampires, he pulled it anyway. His reasoning: "I know I shouldn't... but when am I gonna be here again?" Of course, he may have already been a vampire.
In "Treehouse of Horror VI", Groundskeeper Willie puts a note on the school thermostat saying "Do Not Touch - Willie". Homer thinks it's good general advice before cranking up the thermostat, causing a fire that kills Willie.
In "Homer's Enemy", Frank Grimes stops Homer from drinking acid instead of his Buzz Cola by slapping it out of his hand, splashing it against a wall which instantly decomposes. Of course, Grimey is instantly in trouble for ruining the wall instead of being praised as a hero for saving Homer.

In the Thomas & Friends episode "Down the Mine", Thomas spies a "Danger" sign at a local mine warning that engines must not proceed past it, due to the ground not being strong enough to support the weight of a locomotive.

Apple & Onion: In the episode "Falafel's Fun Day", Falafel fixes the air conditioner and tells Apple and Onion to not touch it because if it goes past six, it drips water everywhere. Apple, looking upside down, sees the air conditioner at nine and sets it to six when in reality he sets it to nine, which causes the water to drip onto the TV, making it short-circuit and explode. Falafel is furious, telling them "I told you not to touch it".

Hiro in Heroes immediately goes to open the safe his dead dad (in a Video Will) told him never to open. Inside is the formula he's not supposed to touch, and another video from dead dad saying, "I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH THAT!" Sadly, even that second reminder doesn't get Hiro to put the thing away before someone steals it.

Batman yells at him not to touch anything, since it could be extremely dangerous. Pan over to Superman and J'onn quickly putting down artifacts. Wonder Woman, at least, was smart enough to not touch anything.
In Part III of "Starcrossed", the League is trying to figure out the controls of a Thanagarian fighter:

Diablo II: Marius finds himself venturing into the tomb of Tal Rasha alongside the Dark Wanderer, eventually finding the shackled mage in the flesh. Before the Dark Wanderer can release him, Tyrael involves himself and the two duke it out. Marius approaches (under the belief Tal Rasha wants to be released from his miserable fate), only for Tyrael to call out to him not to do it. Marius doesn't listen.

In Canada's Worst Driver, host Andrew Younghusband told a guy not to turn the ignition switch because the vehicle was already running. Said contestant did two or three times.

In The Writing on the Wall, Daring Do is called in to investigate a mysterious structure in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by ominous spikes and with writing on the wall saying "Do not enter this place or you will die a horrible death". Daring concludes that this structure is full of riches and all the warnings are a bluff meant to scare away grave robbers. Nope, the warnings are 100% accurate, complete with a simplified description of the nature of radioactive waste.

Discworld:
Common with the wizards. In fact, at one point Ridcully had to put up another sign to specifically deter other wizards, which in effect says "No, don't do it even to see what would happen". In Hogfather, Ridcully finds a bathroom that has been boarded up, had a sign put up warning not to open the room, and the door hidden behind a bookcase. So, of course, he opens it to see why it was closed up. At the end of the book he orders it closed up again, and the guy who does it is careful not to bang the nails in too securely in certain knowledge he'll be ordered to reopen it under the next Archchancellor.
Ponder Stibbons realises the best way to deter fellow Wizards from interfering with anything which is potentially dangerous, hangs signs, warning that magic for chartered accountants and insurance actuaries is being tested here and lots of unresolved accountancy postulates are flying around. Wizards tend to read things like this, lose interest, and wander away.
Susan Sto Helit reflects at one point that if you put a switch in a remote cave and painted a sign saying something like "End of the World Switch Do Not Pull", the paint wouldn't have time to dry.
In Men at Arms Vimes tries to warn Carrot not to touch the gonne, whose mental urging to bloodshed and megalomonia he barely resisted enough to put it down. Fortunately Carrot promptly smashes it against a pillar.

The Muppets (2015): When Kermit's away, Scooter takes over the show production, and the first thing he does is touch the thermostat, which Kermit (being a frog) keeps warm so he doesn't dehydrate. The result? Beaker gets a full blast of freon to the face, then Miss Piggy's wardrobe is destroyed by condensation... then the entire studio wiring is blown out.

In a Mortadelo y Filemón album, a rival agent is given a box to be delivered to the Súper office, with explicit instructions not to open it (the box contains a magic spider that will turn into a pig any person it touches). The agent can't stand not knowing what's inside, and opens the box to take a peep. The spider touches his nose and turns him into a pig.

The Ulduar raid in World of Warcraft features a large button labeled "DO NOT PUSH THIS BUTTON". Pushing it causes the nearby boss, Mimiron, to yell at you ("Didn't you read the sign that says 'do not push this button'?"). It also activates Mimiron's hard-mode encounter, which involves the room you're in starting to explode, as well as the classic "This room will self-destruct in X minutes" warnings over the loudspeaker.

The Out of the Inkwell cartoon "Koko's Earth Control" has Koko the Klown and his dog Fitz enter the control room for the planet Earth, and Fitz's attention turns to a lever marked "Danger/Beware - If this handle is pulled, the world will come to an end." Naturally, despite Koko's attempts to stop him, Fitz pulls the lever, and although we don't see the world end as such, things do get really crazy.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: Harry's companions ask him what in blazes he thinks he's doing when he reaches for a glass orb on display above an inscription that includes his name in the Department of Mysteries. Harry actually picks it up, fully hoping that something dangerous or at least exciting will happen to make their excursion there worthwhile. Be Careful What You Wish For...
In the second book, when Harry wants to pick up the diary that was flushed out, Ron stops him. He says that he has no idea if it could be dangerous, mentioning examples of people unwittingly touching books that force you to sing in nothing but limericks or similar issues. Harry retorts that they won't find out if the diary is dangerous until they touch it. It isn't. At first.
He did realize he shouldn't stick his hand blindly into Dumbledore's Penseive in Goblet of Fire. Such a shame he managed to accidentally touch it by leaning in too far.

In Safe Cracker, the library of Crabb Manor has a strand of cloth marked "PULL", with a sign next to it that says "Please do not pull". Ignoring the sign results in the player dropping down a 2-story chute to the basement - and landing on their head, for good measure. At least someone had the courtesy to place a welcome mat at the end of the chute.

In the climax of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Rocket gives Groot a bomb with which to destroy Ego, showing him which button, if pressed, will activate the five-minute timer before it blows and which will set it off instantly. When Rocket asks Groot to repeat his demonstration, he keeps gesturing to the death button, provoking this reaction in Rocket. Subverted as Groot does, in fact, press the countdown button and all the Guardians escape alive.

The Order of the Stick: When confronted with the "Threads of Creation", Elan cannot help being fascinated and attempts to touch them. Serini immediately bonks him in the head with her staff to stop him, even though she has no idea what it would do (only that it is dangerous). Considering those threads are the same materials that make the Snarl, who is known to cause Cessation of Existence, Serini can only be praised for acting swiftly.

In one Nodwick story (the first appearance of Baphuma'al, in fact) the heroes are hired to get a pillow from an old wizard's house. They are given these explicit instructions by their employer: "You must not disturb any objects other than the pillow, as most items are cursed, trapped, or both. Touching anything may jeopardize your mission... As well as three nearby fiefdoms, a monastery, and a winery I am quite fond of." Naturally, Yeagar doesn't believe this, and convinces Nodwick to try to steal a fancy and valuable "Elysium Barcalounger"; this leads to a Gory Discretion Shot where Piffany and Arthax require a squeegee to collect their remains in order to restore them.

Nodwick: In a short strip, Yeagar pull a sword from a stone, which is surrounded by signs saying "Don't be a jerk! Leave it alone!", "You toucha dis sword, we break you face!", and so on. Drawing the sword is supposed to result in many, many misfortunes (most of which are ridiculous and hilarious), though none of these actually seem to come to pass. Putting the sword back in is apparently just as dangerous, as is removing the sword again. In the end Yeagar ends up removing and replacing the sword about a dozen times, unleashing a different bizarre and humorous curse each time, before getting tired of the whole thing and breaking it.

In a Yonkoma, Tomo relates a dream to Yomi where she saw a Big Red Button she just had to push. Then Chiyo ran in and pleaded for her not to push it, because she (Chiyo) would die. Naturally, Tomo pushed it, and Chiyo died.
Similarly, Tomo (awake this time) saw a freshly-painted wall with a "Do Not Touch!" sign. She smacked her hand on it, to Yomi's irritation.
When they visit Chiyo's summer home for the second time, she remarks how bad it would be if they lost her key to the house right before getting inside by unlocking it. Cue Tomo grabbing the key and throwing it into the grassy area surrounding the house. Needless to say, no one is amused, and when they do find the key, Sakaki is called on to physically restrain Tomo.

Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines: In "Zilly's A Dilly", Klunk tries to warn Dastardly not to touch the lightning rod installed on his airplane (Klunk saying this in his peculiar mode of speech) but Dastardly touches it anyway and gets the bejeezus shocked out of him. Zilly (who has been hypnotized into being brave) translates the warning, to which Dastardly moans "Now he tells me!".

Stargate SG-1 season 9 has the newly reformed SG-1 enter a dormant laboratory used by Anubis for unknown purposes. Colonel Mitchell starts pushing buttons looking for the light switch, whereupon Dr. Jackson forcefully informs him that while he may be the CO, he's also the new guy and should now stand in the corner while the grown-ups work.

Avatar: The Last Airbender:
In "The Siege of the North, Part 2", Iroh threatens Zhao not to hurt the moon spirit. When he does it anyway, he receives a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown from the ocean spirit and Aang in his full avatar state.
Aang and Zuko find "some kind of mystical gemstone" in the Temple of Doom in "The Firebending Masters", and Zuko goes right for it. To make a short story shorter, the two end up buried in superglue gunge for the next couple of hours.

Arthur:
In "Arthur's Big Hit", D.W. breaks Arthur's model plane. He worked on it for days and told her a million times "Don't touch it!", and she still decided that throwing it out of the window was a good idea. When she failed to apologize, (blaming Arthur for building a plane that couldn't fly) Arthur lost all patience with her and hit her, yelling, "I told you... NOT TO TOUCH IT!"
In Arthur's Perfect Christmas, Arthur hates the "Tina the Talking Tabby" song D.W. loves, which causes him headaches. He groans and tries to change the radio station, but D.W. prevents it.

Many episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark?, e.g., "The Tale of the Mummy's Curse", when the daughter of a museum curator finds a secret compartment in a mummy's coffin. As she reaches to open it, her brother tells her, "Don't touch it! There's a curse!" She finds a potion and ring that grant immortality, accidentally raising the mummy back to life.

The plot of the Defenders of the Earth episode "A Demon in His Pocket" revolves around Kshin disobeying Mandrake's instruction not to touch his sorcery books and summoning a demon in an attempt to teach a group of bullies a lesson without fighting them himself. (The Defenders' Code of Honour forbids them to fight unnecessarily.) Needless to say, things rapidly spiral out of control and Kshin is left with no choice but to tell Mandrake what he has done, even though he knows he will be in trouble.

Sister Ivry doesn't say what it would do if pressed, except that she gets incredibly pissed whenever he or anyone else makes the attempt.

In Girl Genius, Zola repeatedly warns her minions not to touch anything that looks even remotely suspicious while inside Castle Heterodyne, since it's probably a trap that will kill them. When one of her minions asks if she's trying to scare them, Zola explains that Castle Heterodyne is worse than dangerous: it likes to think it has a sense of humor. Another minion demonstrates this by trying to pick up a gold coin off the floor; the floor promptly opens beneath him and drops him to his most likely very painful death.

The Indiana Jones and The Temple of the Forbidden Eye attraction at Disneyland revolves around a recently-discovered temple where an ancient deity resides, offering to bestow upon visitors endless wealth, eternal youth, or visions of the future, on the one condition that they don't look into the deity's eyes. If they do, they'll be led to certain doom. Almost as soon as the ride starts, the vehicles enter the treasure room, which contains a large statue of the deity's face on the far wall ... and you can guess what happens from there.

The original Space Quest featured a button marked "This button is not to be pushed at any time" in the escape pod. Pressing it caused the player to wind up in King's Quest I where the pod would plummet straight into a moat filled with hungry alligators.
In the VGA remake the scene was changed to the pod winding up in Conquests of the Longbow instead, and would simply crash and burn against a hillside.

In the first episode of The Real Ghostbusters, construction workers digging more tunnels for the New York subway system come across a door with a demonic face that repeatedly tells them to not open it until Doomsday. Because they're on a schedule, and because they don't want to be told what to do by a talking door, they attempt to continue digging. When the door sees that they aren't going to listen to it, it then opens, unleashing Hell on Earth into New York's subway system.

Common with the wizards. In fact, at one point Ridcully had to put up another sign to specifically deter other wizards, which in effect says "No, don't do it even to see what would happen". In Hogfather, Ridcully finds a bathroom that has been boarded up, had a sign put up warning not to open the room, and the door hidden behind a bookcase. So, of course, he opens it to see why it was closed up. At the end of the book he orders it closed up again, and the guy who does it is careful not to bang the nails in too securely in certain knowledge he'll be ordered to reopen it under the next Archchancellor.
Ponder Stibbons realises the best way to deter fellow Wizards from interfering with anything which is potentially dangerous, hangs signs, warning that magic for chartered accountants and insurance actuaries is being tested here and lots of unresolved accountancy postulates are flying around. Wizards tend to read things like this, lose interest, and wander away.

In a previous season, while the Red Team is attempting to fix their jeep, Sarge tells Donut not to touch anything. Unfortunately for Donut, he ignores this advice and when Grif attempts to start the engine, Donut gets his hand caught in the machinery.

In Wapsi Square, Bud warned Monica that she shouldn't touch an artifact because it had frightened a group of Nazis enough to make them kill each other. Naturally, Monica touched it, but not before Tempting Fate. Bud expected this, and had even taken bets on whether or not Monica would touch it.

Though nothing comes of it, Ash says almost exactly this line to his medieval love interest Sheila in Army of Darkness when she tries to examine the mechanical gauntlet he's building. Ash goes on to chastise her with "your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and... things with molecular structure," his voice trailing off as it becomes clear that he doesn't really understand any of it either.

In the second book, when Harry wants to pick up the diary that was flushed out, Ron stops him. He says that he has no idea if it could be dangerous, mentioning examples of people unwittingly touching books that force you to sing in nothing but limericks or similar issues. Harry retorts that they won't find out if the diary is dangerous until they touch it. It isn't. At first.

In the series Meet the Browns, Played Straight — when Mr. Brown gets a job as the hospital janitor, he is told by his supervisor to be especially careful around a prized bust of an ancient Greek historical figure that was donated to the hospital and by no means to touch it. He is then given a large floor buffer by his supervisor to clean the hospital lobby and waiting room with, but he accidentally rams the floor buffer into the podium the bust was on and it comes crashing down, shattering on the floor. He pays Derek, his neighbor to fix it, and the bust actually gets repaired decently enough to the point where it looks like nothing happened to it, but ironically Brown's supervisor himself breaks it again.

Wonder Woman:
Wonder Woman (1942): When Steve and Etta are exploring the inside of a space ship filled ceiling to floor with button, levers, plugs and switches Etta tries plugging on of the dangling wires into one of the plugs, and even as Steve yells at her and she retaliates by asking how doing something so small could effect anything on a turned off vehicle the thing launches itself into space.
The Legend of Wonder Woman (2016): Tilly Heyday pushes the large red button swathed in caution tape on the experimental aircraft Diana and the Holliday Girls "borrowed", despite the chorus of her friends shouting don't touch it you idiot, in slightly more polite words. Luckily for everyone the button turns the plane invisible and doesn't cause them or their allies any harm.

In One Piece, Spandam is given the special Transponder Snail to trigger the near-apocalyptic Buster Call, and brandishes it, and gloats about it, and uses it to manipulate Nico Robin... and then presses it by accident. Whoops. Those Telesnails really have it in for him. After he accidentally triggers the Buster Call, he also accidentally activates his regular Transponder Snail so that everybody on the island can hear his ensuing conversation with Nico Robin in which he claims it's perfectly okay if all Navy troops die as long as he can capture her and get away with his skin intact. They are not amused.
In more of a Running Gag, about halfway into the series, Luffy starts saying some variation of, "Hello. I'm Monkey D. Luffy. The man who will become the Pirate King!" whenever he picks up a Telesnail. Half the time, everyone nearby is warning him not to pick up the snail before he does anyway; every time, they scold him for saying too much too quickly, often accompanied with a slap (which, more often than not, does absolutely nothing to him).

In The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel, the party has made their way through Lohengrin Castle, encountering many strange barriers and orbs and finally finding themselves in a room at the top with a large orb that Emma is sure is the source of the mysterious force that's trapped them in the castle and is generated the monsters and such. Seeing it, Millium summons her large combat mechanism, Airgetlam, to smash it, even though the others warn her not to and they don't know what could happen. Sure enough, when Airgetlam tries to smash it, it's blocked by a barrier and ends up toppling on top of Millium. It's the same sort of barrier that went up when she had tried to smash the main door open, and only after this happens does she remember what happened before. And then the boss monster appears...

In a somewhat inverted example (in that when you place a sign, people will generally do the opposite), in Minecraft online servers, if you put up a sign on your house that says "Do not grief", chances are, you will be one of the first ones to be targeted for griefing. Of course, if you're dumb enough to believe that posting a sign would actually convince a griefer to not grief your house, you probably somewhat deserve it.
In a straight example, many death traps have a sign that says "Do not push this button" or "Do not try to steal from this treasure chest." Guess what people do?

In the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic episode "Inspiration Manifestation", this is Owlowiscious' response to the stone spellbook in a secret chamber hanging over a pit with a Sickly Green Glow emanating from the ceiling. Spike grabs it without a second thought.

Doctor Who:
In "The Daleks' Master Plan", the Doctor's companion, Steven, tells Katarina "NO! NOT THAT!" regarding a certain switch or button... which opens an air lock.
The last words we hear in "The Face of Evil" is the Doctor shouting at Leela not to touch that button after she's slipped inside the TARDIS. Cue the TARDIS dematerialising, and the Doctor now has a new companion.
The incident with Adric and the TSS in "Kinda" also falls into this category. Adric attempts to escape in the TSS, even though the Doctor has told him to leave it alone, and quickly loses control of it. The following story ("The Visitation") picks up the TARDIS crew while the Doctor is in the middle of reprimanding Adric for his foolishness:
"Father's Day": "Don't. Touch. The Baby." — which Rose then does, of course. (At least it was by thoughtless instinct, not by intentional disobedience or due to curiosity as a character flaw.) This leads to the Doctor actually dying in that time line before the Reset Button is hit.
Lampshaded in "The Christmas Invasion": The Doctor discovers the "Big Red Button" the Sycorax are using to control any human with A+ blood, and says, "How am I gonna react when I see this? A great, big, threatening button. A great, big, threatening button which must not be pressed under any circumstances, am I right? [...] Which leaves us with a great, big, stinkin' problem. I really don't know who I am. I don't know when to stop. So if I see a great, big, threatening button which should never, ever, EVER be pressed, then I just want to do this." [presses the button]

Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series had a variation of this, where a magic door appears in front of Serenity, Duke and Tristan, telling them to open it. When Duke asks what's behind the door, it answers "You will enter a world of deep, unending pain and torment! ...Oh, and, uh... ponies." The following dialogue actually happens twice:

Referenced and lampshaded several times in Ursula Verson's Gearworld journal. The explorers of the labyrinthine, self-modifying and seemingly boundless structure known as Gearworld find that it contains many hazards, several of which are marked by polite signs left by an unknown group calling themselves the Monks of Perdition. These signs always take the Forbidden Fruit factor into account and plead the reader to heed them while acknowledging that they may very well choose not to do so. The uncovering first such sign can be found here:

Star Wars Rebels: In "Through Imperial Eyes", Ezra and Kallus have snuck into Grand Admiral Thrawn's office, and Ezra sees Hera's kalikori from a previous episode. He thinks of taking it, but Kallus tells him not to on the grounds that they're "not here to steal art". The main reason, however, is that if Thrawn finds anything that looks out of place, it will be a dead giveaway for Ezra, as it was bad enough Thrawn expected an ambush when he came in.

Superman:
Superman vs. Shazam! has a variant. When Supergirl declares she has figured out how to shut off Karmang's space-warping engine, the Big Bad shouts her to not press the black button because they would be sent into Limbo. Supergirl replies does not care because she has Super-Speed; then she presses the forbidden button, picks Mary Marvel and rushes out of the castle while Karmang is thrown into another dimension.
Subverted in The Untold Story of Argo City. Supergirl switches on a machine to release her biological parents from a pocket dimension, but the ionic ray causes their bodies to become molecularly unstable. Suddenly, her adoptive parent bursts into the basement, and starts fiddling with the ray's controls. When she panickily shouts him to not touch the controls, Fred reminds him he is an electronics engineer: he knows what he is doing, what the trouble is and how to fix it.
The Girl with the X-Ray Mind: When Lena Luthor was a girl, she went into her brother Lex's lab and touched one of his experiments despite Lex explicitly telling her to not touch it. Lena was zapped with energy but fortunately she was not harmed.

Aladdin: Aladdin is told to "touch nothing but the lamp" when he enters the Cave of Wonders, and is successful in following this bit of advice (except for touching the magic carpet, which was apparently permissible). His monkey sidekick Abu, however, doesn't have the self-control that his master does, and it results in the two of them having to make a daring escape as the Cave of Wonders collapses around them.

In one of the Thief games, there's a "Do Not Press" red button inside a butcher's shop in a warehouse district. Pushing it releases a giant spider to attack you.
There's another one several missions later, presumably for those who missed the first and/or the terminally slow on the uptake. This one releases SEVERAL giant spiders.
In the levels with alarms that the guards can activate, there's nothing preventing you from pushing the button and turning on the alarm...

Pokémon: The Series has a few moments when trainers of easily agitated Pokémon will warn others not to handle them too roughly or at all. Usually Pikachu is the one getting warnings about before the inevitable Thunderbolt, though a couple of times it is subverted when either he's warmed up to someone or the other character knows how to pet him.

In "Operation: F.O.U.N.T.A.I.N.", the team are in an ancient temple that resembles a school, and are currently in what looks like a cafeteria, complete with food. Numbuh Five is certain that a trap is here (seeing as they barely survived the one in the last big room) but her warning as they walk through it is distorted like some twisted game of "whisper down the alley":
In "Operation: M.A.C.A.R.R.O.N.I.", Numbuh 13 causes two of Sector V's planes to crash because he touches something he shouldn't:

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Magician's Nephew: Polly tries to tell Diggory how ridiculous it is to want to ring the bell just because a sign dares you to ring it, but Diggory just has to find out what happens. He releases the Sealed Evil in a Can. In fairness to him, the sign implied that it had a magical power to drive them insane from the uncertainty of what would have happened if the button isn't pressed. It's never revealed if this was a bluff or the truth.

In Pan's Labyrinth, after being told by the faun under no uncertain terms not to eat any of the food in the Pale Man's room, that her very life depended on it, and brushing away the frantic warnings of the fairies, Ophelia takes two grapes from the banquet table and awakens a child-eating monster who bites the heads off two of the fairies and nearly gets her. Of course, the point was to show how Ophelia did not blindly obey orders and thus was the opposite of her fascist step-father. Unfortunately, it came across as making her look rather Genre Blind (worked a lot better when she disobeyed the fairies and opened the door they weren't pointing at). Who would be crazy enough to stay in the presence of the Pale Man any longer than necessary, anyway?

Goblins:
Saves A Fox repeatedly tells everyone not to touch anything in her quasi-dungeon crawl with Grem, K'Selliss and Dies Horribly. Naturally, everyone else keeps doing it anyway. Eventually this frustrates Saves so much that she begins angrily screaming she doesn't care anymore, they can touch whatever they want, she's going to save her breath. K'Seliss takes this as permission to grab her ass.
This also gets K'Seliss in trouble later when he rips the finger off an undead abomination, intending to eat it. The end result is anything but pretty.

Prometheus, to an incredible extent given that the crew are meant to be experienced scientists. Brad Jones remarked during his Midnight Screenings of the film that you could retitle it "Dude, Don't Touch That: The Movie". Special mention should go to Millbourn, who apparently thinks what is quite clearly an alien snake (and hissing like a cobra) should be petted like a dog.

During the climatic last scene of Bride of Frankenstein, when the monster is wreaking havoc in Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory, Dr. Pretorius shouts, "Don't touch the lever! It'll blow us all to atoms!" Guess what the monster does next.

Told countless times to Dee Dee by Dexter in Dexter's Laboratory, the former being the Trope Namer of What Does This Button Do?. The results are just as you would predict.

In an episode of FLCL, the mayor's daughter finds Naota, the main character, unconscious with cat ears on his head. She reaches out to touch them, and is then interrupted by Haruko yelling "DON'T TOUCH IT!" into a megaphone. They then have a conversation, with the girl touching the ears and seemingly nothing happening... until she clutches her stomach and passes out. The scene ends with Haruko saying, "I told you not to touch it. Is that my fault?"
