My old DM's favourite was the good old "you sure about that?"
Now and again they'd ask it as a bluff, so you never knew for sure if they were serious or not
It's always great when the DM asks the player if they're sure about that and the player still does the crazy thing, and then gets mad about the consequences.
Played with one murderhobo that attacked 7 town guards in the town square without warning by themselves. The DM asked the player if they were sure ans the player still proceeded. When the guards attacked back and killed the player's character (all while the rest of the group just watched as this wasn't the first time dumb shenanigans happened), the player complained. "It's what my character would have done." and the DM responded with "it's what the guards would have done."
Suffice to say the next session that player had a new character that made slightly smarter decisions.
My DM used to warn their players that if they acted like Murderhobos or were an accomplice to one, they would get treated like Murderhobos...
It also incentivised the party to keep their muderhobos in check, by force if necessary
