Whether it is via the use of a Berserk Button or a Restraining Bolt, you know you can get a very precise reaction from a character if you do the right thing. Sometimes there's Animal Stereotype involved, but typically, it's according to the Rule of Funny or the Law of Disproportionate Response. See also the subtrope Reflexive Remark of Reverence, the trope Damn You, Muscle Memory! for a real-life version, You Just Told Me for a related phenomenon. See Never Say That Again for a vocal version, and Won't Take "Yes" for an Answer for another. Compare Freudian Slip. Overlaps with Don't Sneak Up on Me Like That!. |

In an episode of Sherlock, "A Scandal in Belgravia", Sherlock is looking for Irene Adler's cell phone, which has incriminating pictures on it. While he talks to her, John steps outside and lights a magazine on fire, triggering the smoke alarm. When Irene hears the alarm, she instinctively looks at a mirror on the wall that conceals a hidden safe, pointing Sherlock directly to the phone. | |

The Desert Storm series: In The Desert Storm arc, Ben instinctively shoves Obi-Wan behind him and takes out his lightsaber when Master Tahl calls out his name while his back was turned. Ben is mortified when he realizes that he nearly cut down Tahl for no reason other than surprising him. During his time on Tatooine, Ben taught himself to redirect the lightning from the planet's electrical storms. When Plo Koon shoots Emerald Lightning at Ben during their sparring match, he instinctively absorbs the attack, only to then remember that he's inside a crowded arena and has nowhere to safely release the Force lightning to. |

In an episode of Full House, DJ gives her father a very mature and well thought out presentation on why she should have her own room. Danny asks for a few minutes to think it over, then tells her he's made his decision. DJ immediately yelps, "Dad, that is completely unfair!" A perplexed Danny tells her he hasn't even said anything yet, at which point a sheepish DJ admits that it's "force of habit". Apparently, years of watching her father take her younger sisters' side over hers had conditioned her reaction — indeed, she's downright stunned when Danny agrees with her. | |

Shauna, who's noticed a pattern among the victims, asks one of them (a Lass) whether they're involved with Team Flare.

In The Fifth Elephant, Vimes kills a werewolf by throwing a flare that the wolf instinctively tries to fetch. Ouch.Earlier in the book, he determines that a character is more than they seem by their lack of a reflexive response to having an orange thrown at them. A fellow copper ducks, whereas this character, who is a trained Assassin, neither ducks nor attempts to catch the orange, but merely observes that the projectile isn't a threat and lets it harmlessly bounce off him. | |

Humorous example from King of the Hill where Dale exacerbates a Third-Act Misunderstanding with his long-estranged father, Bug. Due to a Sustained Misunderstanding, Bug thinks Dale is angry over Bug being a Gay Cowboy... while Dale is actually going back to his Conspiracy Theorist roots and actually thinks that his dad is a federal deep cover agent, upsetting him deeply. Dale goes to Bug's gay rodeo to try and 'out' him as a fed, when Bug realizes how stupid his son is being and hogties him... but not before putting women's underwear on him out of reflex, as Bug has a rodeo act where he subdues goats by putting lingerie on them. | |

Elden Ring: For anyone who's any familiar with the Dark Souls series, you know any chest could be a Mimic, and while there are visual cues that let you tell the difference between Mimics and real chests, it's easier to check it by hitting it first. Elden Ring, being a Dark Souls Spiritual Successor, caused many players to hit every chest they see to make sure it wasn't a Mimic. There are no Mimics in this game. | |

Since the very beginning, World of Warcraft features damage zones, glowing circles of poison, fire, darkness, whatever. The message ingrained into every competent player's head is that if a glowing circle appeared under you, move out of it immediately or die. In the Cataclysm expansion they give several healing classes an area of effect, over time heal that took the form of... a glowing circle on the ground. Unsurprisingly, everyone is having to fight the urge to move out them. It's probably worst for druids; while shamans have blue and priests have yellow, neither of which is a common boss damage circle color, druids' circles are green, and thus resemble a cloud of poison. | |

An early encounter in Improbable Island is with a professional romance writer, who you involuntarily punch the instant she says so. She takes it in good stride, surprisingly, mentioning that she seems to get that reaction from everyone she meets, directly suggesting that it must be a conditioned response. What starts the obligatory fight is when you utter the phrase "professional romance writer", and she has the same reaction. Much later, you learn that even the sneaky bastard lion can't resist this impulse. | |

In Senran Kagura, even Shinobi trainees are at risk of being attacked by rivals while going about their business in public spaces, so one of their first conditioned reflexes is to pull their primary weapon and smack an enemy who gets within arm's reach without thinking about it. This is why Peach Beach Splash permits bladed weapons and brutal punches as melee attacks in an explicitly bloodless water-gun tournament, the reflex to use weapons at close range is too powerful to be outlawed. | |

American Dad! has a similar joke in an earlier episode, where Steve gets impregnated by Roger. When Stan finds out, his immediate response is to yell at Hayley for "tarting around town". She angrily points out that she didn't do anything, and Stan says that he always assumed this would happen to Hayley, so it's what he's prepared for. In "Four Little Words", Bullock accidentally kills his new girlfriend when she playfully sneaks up on him from behind, causing his CIA training to kick in and make him snap her neck without even turning around. In "Lincoln Lover", when Stan and Steve go to a Republican convention, every visitor must pass the "gay check". This usually includes things that look for this trope, such as asking the visitor to look at his nails (according to Stan, a "real man" does it palm up, while bending fingers, while a homosexual does is the feminine way - palm down and stretching out the fingers), asking what "ERA" stands for (once again, a "real man" would say "earned run average", a baseball term, while a homosexual would say "Equal Rights Amendment"), or saying a few words from a musical (a homosexual would sing the rest). |

The Stormlight Archive: Shalash is one of the ten Heralds (immortals worshipped as quasi-divinities by most of Roshar, secretly Walking the Earth after abandoning their duties), and part of her madness is that whenever she sees a religious depiction of herself, she has to stop whatever she's doing and destroy it. One character who is trying to locate her takes advantage of this to lure her out of hiding, putting out a very nice painting of Shalash and setting some agents to keep an eye on it until Shalash shows up to destroy it. | |

In Legally Blonde, the lawyer played by Luke Wilson confirms Elle's suspicion of a witness's homosexuality (he claimed to be having an affair with the defendant, a woman) by asking rapid fire, innocuous questions ("How long have you been working for the defendant? What was your job?" etc.) before ending with, "And your boyfriend's name is?" The witness answers reflexively, outing himself. His subsequent attempts at recanting are met with another young man standing up in the courtroom, angrily screaming "You bitch!" at him, and running out. | |

Zootopia: Midway through the film Judy takes advantage of the wolves guarding Cliffside being vulnerable to howling. Once she starts howling the wolves cannot resist chiming in, allowing Judy and Nick to sneak past them. More dramatically, this is how Nick outs Judy's unconscious prejudices—after a few insensitive comments about predators at a public hearing, Nick chews Judy out and bluff-lunges at her. This move causes Judy to reach for her predator repellent without thinking about it, causing their Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure. |

There is a long list of things you shouldn't do if you want to survive a meeting with Golgo 13. Among them: do not touch his right hand, do not reach into your coat, and do not open a handbag. (He will attack at all of these.) His habit of standing when he meets a client comes from an early occasion where he killed a client's aide — the poor man made the mistake of walking up behind him while he was seated. | |

In an early Animorphs story, Jake ends up with a Yeerk in his head. The Yeerk manages to pass off as Jake for a while, but when Ax shows up in his Andalite body, the Yeerk can't keep a look af deep loathing from flashing across Jake's face, which Ax notices. When Ax suggests tying Jake up for three days (which would starve any Yeerk to death while leaving the host unharmed) and offers to morph into Jake to cover for him during this time, the Yeerk hysterically snaps when Ax goes to touch Jake to absorb his DNA and calls him "Andalite filth!" out loud, which naturally is the last proof the rest of the gang need to know that Ax is right. | |

In Operation Finale, the Nazi hunter Mossad agents go to a house where they suspect former Nazis are living. The residents are smart enough to hide their Nazi books and iconography, but when questioning them, one agent suddenly drops a "Heil Hitler", which makes the Nazis' kids jump to attention and repeat it back. | |

According to Himaruya, the author of Hetalia: Axis Powers, a German army decided to bait out an Italian soldier by calling out a relatively common Italian name. The soldier with that name came out and said, "I'm here!" and the Germans got him. Later when the Italians decided to do it back to them, they had an Italian soldier yell out a common German name. The German soldier with that name came out and said, "Who called me?" "Me!" replied the Italian soldier. The German shot him right there. This joke in fact predates World War I. | |

She asks if his paranoia is proof that it's true, and he hits her again. She then blurts out "small penis" and gets hit yet again. When she glares at him, he giggles nervously and explains that "It's an instinct." | |

In a Shadowrun sourcebook, iconic character Hatchetman is telling of his slow evolution from street punk to cyber samurai. At one point, he comments on how he used to snicker at older streetsams who would normally stand with their backs to the wall for being paranoid, only to get the "wired reflexes" mods himself, and finding himself doing the same thing to keep himself from reflexively striking somebody coming up behind him. He isn't paranoid of being hurt, but of hurting an innocent. | |

Team Fortress 2: Many Scouts have it drilled into themselves that a Scout standing still is a dead Scout because of his Fragile Speedster status. But it makes it hard for allies to try and heal him or extinguish any fire on him. It's usually best to steer clear of a Pyro lest you get caught in their flames and die a fiery death. But when you're a Spy and disguised as an enemy player, being too cautious around other Pyros can give the disguise away and mark you for a spycheck very quickly. When you're approached by someone brandishing a melee weapon, it's instinctive to keep your distance while you still have ranged ammo. This works to the favor of a Heavy with the Fists of Steel, as the weapon gives them resistance to ranged weapon damage but raises their melee damage vulnerability. |

Most every bicycle in Japan has a bell to warn pedestrians that someone is rapidly approaching, at which point the walking pedestrian, used to the sheer amount of cyclists in the nation, will move to the side. One YouTuber invoked this by carrying around a bell as he walked, and rang it to part the seas of crowds. Instinctively, many moved to the side without even bothering to look back. | |

Pokémon: The Series Team Rocket's Jessie and James have an urge to say the motto can be triggered by anyone saying the words "prepare" and "trouble" in close succession. Try as they may to resist, they will blow their cover. A late XY episode had Pikachu electrocute them when Team Rocket ambushed him in a snowy forest. Team Rocket are just about to cry "We're blasting off again!" until they realize that Pikachu's shocks didn't have any juice to send them flying. They told Pikachu to try shocking them again, but it still isn't enough to send them off. Their rival Butch is on the receiving end of Accidental Misnaming so much that when someone identifies him correctly, he initially tries to correct them, before catching himself and realizing he didn't have to. Mallow's Bounsweet/Steenee's response to Rowlet getting close to her is to Rapid Spin it away with her leaves (likely due to an earlier incident where the owl mistook Bounsweet for an actual fruit). Unfortunately, this became part of a Disaster Dominoes in one episode that led to Rowlet and Popplio getting blown away in a bubble. |

An old comedy sketch, made popular by The Three Stooges, had one man explaining to a stranger how his wife ran off with another man. Since he caught up with them at Niagara Falls, he goes berserk every time he hears those words... Compounded when the hapless bystander meets that same man, who also has that particular Berserk Button. By the end of the bit, the two nemeses finally see each other... and promptly shake hands, having buried the hatchet years ago. "But what about Niagara Falls?!" |

The Great Escape: Escape leader Bartlett and his second-in-command MacDonald are caught right when they were almost home free because MacDonald instinctively replies in English to an English statement made by a German soldier, even though the pair is supposedly French (which is more than a little ironic because an earlier scene showed MacDonald warning another officer not to fall for that trick). This is Truth in Television; Roger Bushell (on whom the Bartlett character is heavily based) was caught because his traveling companion made a similar error. | |

In Friends, Phoebe uses this as a game to help people make decisions, asking them a series of unrelated questions until hitting them with the choice they've been struggling with. Ross later uses this to work out why Phoebe is mad at him (she dreamt that he insulted her), and it lands Chandler in hot water with Joey when he reflexively reveals that he doesn't think the movie Joey's been cast in will be his big break, contrary to his supportive words earlier in the episode. Ross and Rachel teach Chandler to learn a series of reflexive responses to questions his girlfriend might ask ("Does this make me look fat?", "Is she prettier than me?" etc) in order to avoid arguments. |

US Marshal Gerard exploits this in The Fugitive when he isn't 100% certain that he's spotted Richard Kimble, the titular character. So he calls out to him—"Richard!". Kimble involuntarily looks up, instantly giving himself away. In the original script Kimble actually manages to check this. He doesn't look up, but he does freeze in place for a few seconds before continuing down the stairs. The lack of response tips Gerard off just the same, especially since others in the stairwell display this trope by looking up. |

In a second season episode of Cobra Kai, Johnny reunites with his teenage friends Jimmy, Bobby, and Tommy, and they go on a little road trip together. When they stop at a bar they're caught up in a Bar Brawl, and despite likely being decades out of practice with karate, when one of the brawlers tries to punch Jimmy, his old training kicks in and he reflexively performs a martial arts block and throws a counterpunch simultaneously. Right after he does this he stares at his own hands in shock and amazement, obviously just as surprised by this as his opponent was. | |
