Ask HN: Software That Insults You?

Seems I'm not alone in believing that software is fun, and should be fun as well (while not getting in the way of getting work done) [from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30725843].

One example is the `Defaults insults` setting in `sudo` that will add a insult every time you get your password wrong. This has made me smile a couple of times when the insult is really good.

Is there other examples of software that insults you when you get something wrong/do something incorrect?

This list can serve a double-purpose: first as a recommendation list for us who like to get insulted for fun, and second as a list of software to avoid for the ones that don't like it.
