Line 3: {{quote\|"''[[Lampshade Hanging\|I'm so angry I could just throw a rock at that poster of David Cassidy!]]''" \|''Samuel Norton'''\|''[[Family Guy]]''{{'}}s parody of ''[[The Shawshank Redemption]]''}} Basically, this is when enraged characters start throwing objects around to express their frustration. They're throwing a tantrum, [[Captain Obvious\|and throwing objects in the process]]. Line 42: * Gustav Adolf does this in ''[[1632]]'', it's stated that he does this so often his quarters are deliberately stocked with cheap furniture. * The ''[[Harry Potter]]'' books have a few examples. In ''[[~~Harry Potter/~~Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (novel)\|Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]'', upon discovering that Fred and George have engorged Dudley's tongue, Uncle Vernon begins throwing things at the Weasleys and Harry, who flee the house via Floo Powder. In ''[[~~Harry Potter/~~Harry Potter and ~~The~~the Order of ~~The~~the Phoenix (novel)\|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'', Harry begins throwing and smashing random objects in Dumbledore's office, wanting an explanation about everything thats been going on from Dumbledore, who {{spoiler\|realizes that he must finally tell Harry the [[Awful Truth]]}}. * While ''[[Safehold]]'s'{{'}}s Vicar Zaspahr Clyntahn is not ''quite'' as hotheaded as his [[Hair-Trigger Temper]] reputation suggests, he is known to go into some serious rages when things go badly. In ''How Firm a Foundation'' he flies into such a rage when informed that one of their main fleets has been destroyed and its commanding officers defected rather than face him. He goes so far as to hurl ''his desk'' away. Line 59: == Video Games == * In ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'', if a dwarf becomes depressed enough they might take it out in a drunken frenzy and start smashing or throwing things. * In ''[[SHUFFLE!]]'' (the [[Visual Novel]]), when Rin walks on changing [[Token ~~Mini-Moe~~Loli\|Primula]], she starts throwing pillows at him. He mentally notes that if he doesn't leave, she will start throwing heavier things. And when she runs out of heavy things, she will start throwing [[Magical Girl\|magic]]. Line 69: == Web Original == * This is a staple of [[True Capitalist]] radio: Piss off the host to the point he throws cans (and sometimes his microphone) all over the studio. == Real Life == * Admirals Rozhestvensky's staff, aware of Rozhestvensky's tendency to throw binoculars when enraged, brought many binoculars (at least 50) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Mdi_Fh9_Ag when Russia sent its Second Pacific Squadron to Port Arthur]. {{reflist}} Line 74 ⟶ 77: [[Category:Anger Tropes]] [[Category:Tantrum Throwing]] [[Category:Throwing]]
