Some people just don't shut up without being forced. Sometimes the best method of dealing with that is with some tape. Mouth Taped Shut is when a character who talks too much, especially one who knows something that others really don't want getting out, is prevented from talking/punished for talking by...well, having their mouth taped shut. Usually Played for Laughs, with more serious examples usually being found under Bound and Gagged. Often accompanied by a Painful Adhesive Removal. Compare Food Shove Gag for another way that someone may make someone stop talking, and Wipe That Smile Off Your Face, when the talker's mouth is literally removed instead. |

Castle: In a season 1 episode, Castle has himself bound, and then gagged in duct tape by his daughter, Alexis, so he can work out how a character in his story would realistically escape such a scenario. Alexis also takes money from his wallet, reasoning that he wouldn't respect her if she didn't rip him off, to which he can only nod. He does get out of it, resulting in triumphant, but Painful Adhesive Removal. | |

Variant in Doraemon: Nobita's Little Space War (manga and both anime adaptations) when Doraemon and gang, including their new friends Papi and his talking dog Rokoroko face a firing squad. When the villain General Gilmore offers them their Any Last Words? request, Rokoroko starts going on a lengthy, pointless speech thanking his parents, grandparents, his theories on life, his pride and honor as Papi's best friend, his opinion on the judicial system... a speech that lasts for several minutes until Gilmore decides to have Rokoroko's mouth tied shut. | |

Sly Cooper has plans to steal a rare gem from a moving train, only to discover another criminal has the same objective. Sly discovers detective Carmelita Fox Bound and Gagged in a lavatory stall and removes the tape from her mouth. She wises him up on who the other criminal is, and how many mooks he brought with him. Sly decides that he can still achieve his objective by hoodwinking the other criminals rather than bypassing the security system. However, poor Carmelita will only be The Millstone in Sly's effort, so he leaves her tied up and reattaches the tape over her lips. She gives him a nuclear grade Death Glare for this. | |

The Abyss. Throughout the film, Lindsey Brigman and Navy SEAL Lieutenant Coffey have been arguing and verbally sniping at each other. Finally, when it's revealed that the SEALS are planning to detonate a nuclear weapon to destroy a disabled U.S. submarine (which will kill everyone on Deep Core One), Coffey takes over and threatens Brigman's team. Coffey tells Brigman, "This is something I've wanted to do since we first met," indicating that he's going to kill her, but instead he pulls off a strip of tape and puts it over her mouth to shut her up. | |

Darwin says it looks like a very sad middle-aged man wearing sandals (which it does). Mr. Small, assuming Darwin's talking about him, gives up and just tapes Darwin's mouth shut. | |

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, while Donatello is busy freeing Raphael during the junkyard scene, he pulls the duct tape off of his mouth, which prompts Raph to yell at him about almost ripping his lips off. Don proceeds to put the tape back on him while he works on untying him. Shortly after, Donnie finds the kidnapped professor in the same state, and painfully rips off his adhesive gag. Upon hearing the professor also cry in pain, he remarks, "I've gotta get the hang of that." | |
