Not Now, Kiddo	comment	The kind of thing useless adults will say to a Kid Hero or child who has some rather urgent news. This pint-sized Cassandra will be shooed away from grownup company or harangued for being "Just a Kid" before even getting one word out. This isn't necessarily limited to just children either; a pretentious character can silence a friend or underling in this manner, or a grown woman when the men don't take women seriously. This can also be used as a put down to annoying characters when two more powerful/important characters are discussing something. The kid will get interrupted after the word "but". Exasperatingly, the quieter may even scold the quietee later for not speaking up! In some cases, the victim will point out that no one was allowing them to speak, although most of the time, they don't even bother to point this out despite the fact that it would vindicate them. For even more frustration, the Very Important Grown-Up Things the grown-ups would much rather do or talk about might be completely asinine. Usually, the very thing the child/friend/underling was trying to say turns out to be significant or important, and the hero will regret having brushed it off. In darker examples the brush-off leads the hero into greater danger by blundering directly into the situation he could've been aware of in advance; or worse, the person making the warning is put in grave danger (or killed) since he or she was asking for help. See also Cassandra Truth, when the warning is heard but often sounds incredible and is subsequently dismissed until it's too late; Crying Wolf, when the warning is heard but dismissed because of the prankish messenger; and Evil-Detecting Dog, when the warning is made by an animal (and may be either recognized or dismissed). See also, Glad I Thought of It. A subtrope of Poor Communication Kills. Compare Poorly Timed Confession. If a character applies this to someone that seems like a victim (but isn't really), then it is The Victim Must Be Confused. Compare Rebuff the Amateur. Contrast Kid Has a Point. If the kid in question is mistakenly thought to be dead, that's the subtrope Not Now, We're Too Busy Crying Over You.

As he is preparing to leave the bank, he airily tells the chief clerk Pearson that in future he should call the head office verify the identity of anyone claiming to be from the insurance company as it is company policy. Pearson starts to reply, but Hepburn cuts him off and leaves. What Pearson had been trying to say was he had phoned the office and discovered that Hepburn was an imposter. The next time we see Hepburn, he is in handcuffs.

Not Now, Kiddo / int_1a4b3ea2	comment	Digimon: Done by the younger Digidestineds/Chosen Children to their youngest member Cody/Iori in Digimon Adventure 02 with almost alarming frequency. This is particularly weird on the part of TK/Takeru and Kari/Hikari who went through the exact same thing in the previous series and are doing it in spite of the fact that Cody/Iori is older than they were in their first adventure. Cody/Iori eventually gets sick of this treatment and screams "WOULD YOU ALL BE QUIET?!" during a particularly annoying argument. Digimon Tamers also has a case of this in the Japanese version, where Suzie/Xiaochung is interrupted from giving extremely vital news about the D-Reaper by her brother Henry/Jianliang asking her why she was out alone. The English dub averts this by having her report what she saw in full, which makes the moment where oldest member Ryo gives her the Queen's Device card feel more earned.

She didn't expect her parents to take it seriously, because they don't know she's a Magical Girl. But they decide it must be true, because she's never lied to them before, and they transmit her father's piano piece (which she helped write) towards the moon in hopes that she'll hear it. Thanks to magic radios or something, she does.

At first, this trope seems to be played straight, with Harry repeatedly brushing Luna off, telling her "not now" and so on, before Luna finally stops dead and yells out, "HARRY POTTER, YOU LISTEN TO ME RIGHT NOW!" which gets Harry to turn around and actually listen to her, in an absolutely beautiful subversion of the trope.

Eventually, in one of the Halloween episodes, he just outright tells her to shut up. Also the exchange from "Bart Carny" where Bart tries to explain to an oblivious Homer that Chief Wiggum's attempting to solicit a bribe, only to be told, "Not now, Bart; Daddy's talking to a policeman." In the same episode, Chief Wiggum tells Homer to wait for Detective Like-I-Give-A-Damn. Homer thanks him profusely, and then shushes Lisa when she tries to point out the obvious. In "Homer's Enemy", Frank Grimes slaps a beaker of corrosive liquid out of Homer's hand to prevent him from drinking it, dissolving a large hole in the wall in the process. When Grimes is called into Mr. Burns's office to be rebuked for this damage, Burns refuses to listen to his attempts to explain the situation.

She changes her mind when Molly sees it too, and she witnesses it herself later on. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: "Griffon the Brush Off": Pinkie Pie tries to get the attention of Rainbow Dash, who is in a hurry to get somewhere and keeps brushing Pinkie off... only to fly into the side of the mountain Pinkie was trying to warn her about. "Bridle Gossip": Apple Bloom runs into this problem when her big sister Applejack is so focused on protecting her from a perceived threat that she completely ignores everything Apple Bloom tries to do or say, only noticing her when she gets frustrated enough to leave. "Swarm of the Century": Pinkie's friends are all too busy trying (and failing miserably) to deal with the parasprite menace to pay attention to her efforts to put together a one-pony band. Turns out she was the only pony in town who had seen a parasprite before, and knew that they'll line up and follow anyone playing music. Of course, they might have realized she knew what she was doing had she actually bothered to explain herself to them. It's also only fair to note that one of those plans worked, but a single overlooked parasprite set them back at square one, and another plan only failed because of Pinkie's antics. "Appleoosa's Most Wanted": Most of the characters are convinced, erroneously, the Troubleshoes Clyde abducted the Cutie Mark Crusaders. When the sheriff and his posse arrest Troubleshoes, the fillies try to explain that he didn't abduct them, but Applejack cuts them off before they can. "To Where and Back Again â€“ Part 2": When Thorax tries to explain how there's an Anti-Magic field surrounding the changeling hive, Discord cuts him off three times before charging in and finding his magic suddenly nullified while he's still in midair, earning himself a nasty fall.

Not Now, Kiddo / int_3f44e3d7	comment	In Princess Tutu, Ahiru — a duck that can turn into a girl — accidentally changes into her duck form when she's startled to see Mytho with a girl that's not his girlfriend. When she sees Mytho's girlfriend, Rue, walking in his direction, Ahiru is afraid she'll be upset by seeing what looks like Mytho cheating and desperately tries to tell Rue to stop by squawking and flailing. Rue responds simply by laughing and continuing down the path. Ahiru then rushes to water (the key to change back into a human) to become a girl again then attempts to tell her to stop, only this time the other girl and Mytho are standing right behind her. However, Rue doesn't react — she knows that Mytho does whatever anyone tells him to do because he's missing his heart.

Not Now, Kiddo / int_41b0198a	comment	In The Dresden Files, Harry has a bad habit of saying "not now" when those around him are trying to give him vital information. He inevitably regrets not listening. He tells Bob "not now" as Bob is trying to warn him of a greater danger: the NeverNever and certain denizens after him being closer than originally believed. He tells Michael "not now" when his lover, Susan, calls him on the phone saying she needed urgently to speak with him. This results in Susan stealing an invitation to a supernatural party of vampires, who then turn her to get back at Harry for interfering in their business. Harry took her back, resulting in a war between wizards and vampires. In his defense, he was rather busy at the moment. He had lost some of his magic power and was thus weakened, but he was still attempting to call a dead demon from the NeverNever. Not only was the being resisting, something was helping it. Also, it wasn't even a demon that he was calling, so it was extra hard to do it. And Susan called during the hardest part. On the other hand, this doesn't excuse him for not simply telling Michael "I'll call her back in a couple of minutes". It would have saved him a lot of trouble.

Not Now, Kiddo / int_4fd9904a	comment	This is one of the problems facing Harry in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, where every attempt he makes to communicate with Dumbledore results in the latter brushing him off and getting away. This is because Dumbledore is afraid that Voldemort is trying to possess Harry, so he's trying to keep his distance from the protagonist. He admits to holding the Idiot Ball on this one and apologizes at the end. Harry gets a government-wide version of this after he tries to warn everyone that Voldemort has come back. Fudge is afraid of the wizarding world being thrown into another war, so he decides that the best course of action is to launch a smear campaign that goes along the lines of "Harry is a confused Attention Whore." It takes Fudge and the government higher-ups being in the same room as Voldemort for them to realize they have made a terrible, terrible mistake, and Fudge pays for his blunder by being impeached before the events of the next book even begin. There's also the case in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets when Ginny is about to confess her secret. Her older brother Percy coincidentally arrives, and since his (hidden) girlfriend was one of the victims, she flees. He brushes it off as something that was about him, but unimportant. She's then taken into the titular Chamber before she can try again.

This scene is absent in the book and was added for comic effect. Slightly different since Harry and Ron are the same age. And in Deathly Hallows Part 2, while Harry is trying to find the tiara, Luna is chasing after him to tell him something important about said treasure. At first, this trope seems to be played straight, with Harry repeatedly brushing Luna off, telling her "not now" and so on, before Luna finally stops dead and yells out, "HARRY POTTER, YOU LISTEN TO ME RIGHT NOW!" which gets Harry to turn around and actually listen to her, in an absolutely beautiful subversion of the trope.

After Chiana runs away to a nearby planet, the crew discovers that she'd just learned that her brother had died and was looking for someone to comfort her. To his credit, Crichton does feel bad about dismissing her once he realizes what she wanted from him.

Biff and Willy both brush him off, and Biff ends up failing high school and completely loses his confidence and self-esteem. Bernard, on the other hand, becomes a successful lawyer and even gets to argue a case in front of the Supreme Court. Although his loss of confidence is more due to finding out that his father, a person Biff has always idealized and considered a hero, is having an affair.

To specify, the student was trying to tell the principal that there was an insane student who was a drug addict wanting to kill him.

Saavik as she is about to remind Admiral Kirk to raise the Enterprise's shields in response to the approach of the uncommunicative Reliant, making it a rare case of both Kirk and Spock hoisting the Idiot Ball. To his credit, Kirk openly admits his mistake. Downplayed in Star Trek (2009) when Kirk barges onto the bridge to warn them about the Romulans. At first, everyone's ignoring him (partially because he's a stowaway, as both Captain Pike and Commander Spock point out), but he finally gets them to shut up long enough to hear him out, and both Spock and Uhura back him up to some degree once they hear what he has to say. Good thing, too. But played straight again in Star Trek Into Darkness when Kirk realizes Harrison bombing the Kelvin Memorial Archive doesn't make any sense, foreshadowing both that the building was not what it appeared and that the attack was a Batman Gambit on Harrison's part. Kirk attempts to point this out but is quickly silenced by Pike. Admiral Marcus does eventually let Kirk speak, but only in time for him to put Harrison's plan together right as it's set into motion.

Not Now, Kiddo / int_84c6fd45	comment	Iznogoud: Several stories see Iznogoud's downfall resulting from his decision to ignore someone (usually the Caliph) who is trying to tell him something important while he tries to carry out his latest scheme to become Caliph instead of the Caliph. In "The Mysterious Billposter", in attempting to trap the Caliph in a magic poster advertising holidays on a tropical island, Iznogoud has got himself trapped in the poster as well, and he keeps sending the Caliph away on walks so that he can escape unnoticed. As each escape plan fails, the Caliph keeps returning to tell Iznogoud about the strange things he has seen, and the increasingly angry Iznogoud keeps dismissing him. Eventually, the Caliph takes the hint and leaves, surprised that Iznogoud doesn't want to hear that he's found another person in the poster world: the billposter who created the magic poster to begin with, and who is now putting up a second poster of the Caliph's bedroom which he tries out on the Caliph. Sure enough, the Caliph re-appears in his own world, while Iznogoud is reduced to ordering Wa'at Alahf to shove him backward repeatedly in the hope that he'll fall out of the poster again. In "The Strong-Arm Men", Iznogoud hires two men to take the Caliph away but it takes a long time before they have a chance to do it without any witnesses around. When the time arrives, the Caliph tries to tell Iznogoud something but is completely ignored. It turns out the Caliph borrowed Iznogoud's money for a fundraiser and Iznogoud can't pay the strong-arm men. In retaliation, they take him instead of the Caliph away. In "The Merchant of Forgetfulness", when Iznogoud tries to spray an amnesia scent on the Caliph, he ignores the latter's complaints about the open window. A gust of wind blows the potion on Iznogoud's face, wiping his mind and memory completely.

His son spends the entire time trying to get his attention, only to get this response. After the boy goes to bed, John gets a handwritten letter from him. Feeling guilty over brushing the boy off all day, Dean sits down and reads the letter: "Dear Dad, If the ski lift can pull hundreds of skiers up the hill, why can't it pull itself up?" The next day, the ski lift is up the hill and installed. Beautifully subverted later in the same movie when John and the villainous banker, who wants to foreclose on the property, are arguing and lawyering up. The boy tries to interrupt, John starts to tell him "not now—" then remembers what happened the last time. He stops and lets the boy speak his piece: turns out that there is a massive loophole in the deed to the property and the property covering half the town, including the bank and that they have the bank owner completely over a barrel without even knowing it.

Naturally, it dishes him: In "The Secret" skunk-morphed Cassie sprays Visser 3 and the Animorphs give him the remedy for the smell in exchange for Yeerks cancelling an operation. Unfortunately for him, they tell him it's GRAPE juice, not tomato juice, that gets rid of the smell. This has the added hilarity of turning him a lovely shade of purple. One of the Controllers apparently knows of the actual remedy but Visser 3 won't allow him to speak. At one point some Controllers make a correct guess that the "Andalite bandits" (as Visser recognizes the morphing-able guerillas) are possibly humans. But none of them dare to advise their dreadful leader that he could be wrong. Every now and then, the kids themselves are guilty of this as well. In the book where they time travel, Ax spots the Hessians about to assassinate George Washington, but everyone brushes him off, even though he clearly thinks that there's something wrong. Nicely subverted in one book. The Animorphs are in dolphin morph and are looking at the Yeerk undersea base. Ax comments that a large school of fish are approaching. Rachel blows him off, but Marco recognizes Ax's tone and asks for Ax to clarify. It's a school of hammerhead sharks. And they're being controlled by the Yeerks.

At one point, a young woman named Rhoda goes to the door and - after recognizing Peter's voice - runs to tell the others he was outside, only to first be told she was out of her mind and then assuming that it was Peter's ghost before they finally opened the door to see a very much alive Peter outside.

Early on, he has to use Professor Agasa's voice-changing necktie just to tell the police to look under a table. Averted as time goes by in that most of the police inspectors eventually learn to pay attention to Conan's observations. Inspector Sato and Inspector Takagi have actually started to bring him along when trying to solve cases; ditto for the FBI. This is actually key in the episode "A June Bride Murder Case" where the Victim of the Week was targeted because her father, a police officer, invoked this trope on the episode's villain when he was a child. As the father was too busy chasing down a suspect, he said this page's trope verbatim to the boy, and, as a result, his mother died.

Eddard did actually stop and listen to his daughter, but she was so flustered her explanation came out as complete gibberish about monsters. The fact that the two men used so many code words only made it harder, even she barely understood what it meant. Ignoring the Evil-Detecting Dog also happens to both Robb and Jon, who ignore their direwolves acting aggressively towards people, chalking it up as respectively spending too much time in battle and smelling boar in the area. It gets Robb killed, and Jon stabbed at least four times, possibly fatally. According to Fire & Blood, during his regency, on the few occasions Aegon III tried asking his small council things, he was shot down because he was "just a boy" (that, and his first Hand was a selfish jerk trying to take power for himself). Not surprising that the minute he turned sixteen, Aegon marched into the throne room and said "okay, you can all get lost now."

She changes her mind when Molly sees it too, and she witnesses it herself later on.

Peach notices a shadowy figure in the background of the video that looks a lot like Mario, but when she tries to tell Mario and Toadsworth what she saw, they're so enamored with the video's showcase of food and relaxation that they completely ignore her.

While Mr. Incredible has an epiphany for his family, Violet uses her forcefield to partly free herself. When Dash tries to tell his parents about this, Elastigirl shushes him to hear more of Mr. Incredible's apology. Violet/Dash get their rightful reaction from their parents when Violet proudly intones, "Well, I think Dad has made some excellent progress today, but I think it's time we wind down now," as she releases them all. Although Elastigirl may have known what Violet was up to, she just wanted to hear the whole apology.

"Bridle Gossip": Apple Bloom runs into this problem when her big sister Applejack is so focused on protecting her from a perceived threat that she completely ignores everything Apple Bloom tries to do or say, only noticing her when she gets frustrated enough to leave. "Swarm of the Century": Pinkie's friends are all too busy trying (and failing miserably) to deal with the parasprite menace to pay attention to her efforts to put together a one-pony band. Turns out she was the only pony in town who had seen a parasprite before, and knew that they'll line up and follow anyone playing music. Of course, they might have realized she knew what she was doing had she actually bothered to explain herself to them. It's also only fair to note that one of those plans worked, but a single overlooked parasprite set them back at square one, and another plan only failed because of Pinkie's antics. "Appleoosa's Most Wanted": Most of the characters are convinced, erroneously, the Troubleshoes Clyde abducted the Cutie Mark Crusaders. When the sheriff and his posse arrest Troubleshoes, the fillies try to explain that he didn't abduct them, but Applejack cuts them off before they can. "To Where and Back Again â€“ Part 2": When Thorax tries to explain how there's an Anti-Magic field surrounding the changeling hive, Discord cuts him off three times before charging in and finding his magic suddenly nullified while he's still in midair, earning himself a nasty fall.

Not Now, Kiddo / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: Used almost verbatim with K9 in "The Pirate Planet": "Silence in the Library": Miss Evangelista, who has a reputation as a ditz, tries to catch the attention of the others, while they are discussing what to do about escaping the horrible monsters that live in shadows. When they tell her "Not now," she actually tries again with "Actually, this might be important," but is brushed off again. She investigates on her own and promptly dies. Naturally, the crew regrets brushing her off. And to twist the knife deeper, in the next episode, she gets a huge intelligence boost to a genius after being saved to the Library while dying, causing the equivalent of bit errors â€” a decimal point jumped in her I.Q. and made her smart to the point where she's the only person who can tell Donna the world she's living in is not real. "Forest of the Dead": "Other" Dave's admonitions that "We should go, Doctor!" are repeatedly ignored by the Doctor, until it's too late. With "Other" Dave though, it's unclear how many times it was actually him trying to get the Doctor's attention, and how many times were an echo. In fact, it's unclear if he even got to say them, because by the time the Doctor looks back, Other Dave is a jangling skeleton. Subverted later in the same episode: Anita's initial attempts to alert the party to her predicament are ignored, but her remark that she has two shadows draws their immediate and total attention. "The End of Time": As the Doctor is flying the ship towards the house where the Time Lords are materializing in front of the Master and his clones: "The Pandorica Opens": While the Doctor is rambling on about how he's missing the obvious that's right in front of his nose, he pulls a not now kiddo by name on Rory. Who had previously died and been erased from existence. Rory simply waits relatively patiently for the Doctor's mind and memory to catch up with his mouth. "The Name of the Doctor": During the conference call, Vastra does this to Jenny when the latter realizes that she hadn't locked the door. The Whispermen have entered the room and stopped Jenny's heart.

Nyx, who is also in attendance (it's "Take Your Foal to Work Day") comes up with an idea, but Twilight just shushes her, and finally asks her to just hold onto her question and ask it later. To her credit, when she later gets a note from Nyx with a basic solution to the problem (casting the cloudwalking spell on the clouds), she not only realizes her earlier mistake even before reading it (and does apologize to her daughter), it forms the basis of a permanent solution: converting the unicorn enchantment into a potion - with Zecora's help - that can be sprayed on clouds for temporary work, or added to the cloud mixer so it lasts as long as the cloud does.

This is later subverted when it's revealed that the entire situation was a set-up that he'd been forced into.

Not Now, Kiddo / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5: Commander Sinclair is faced with a pretty bad scenario in one episode: the cargo workers on his station have been badly abused by a combination of having so small a workforce that they're pulling triple (or even quadruple!) shifts and by having to work with aging, failing, unsafe equipment that tragically leads to the death of a worker. These horrible conditions have driven the workers to the point where they're starting a strike that's necessary, but that's not legal under their contract. Sinclair wants to solve the problem by reallocating dormant funds away from the station's defense budget toward hiring more workers and replacing the infrastructure and equipment that the workers are (correctly) pointing out will fail altogether within a few months, but Sinclair doesn't even get to reveal his plan until an unrelated law gives him power to end the strike "by any means necessary", thus giving him power to reallocate the funds, himself: more than once before that point in the episode, he genuinely tries to tell someone with authority to reallocate this money about how the dormant funds can be used to solve the whole situation fairly, peacefully, and logically, but before he can reveal any details of his idea, they talk over him and dismiss him. Only repeat viewings would even reveal to the audience that this trope was what was happening at the time.

Not Now, Kiddo / int_fc29ccc7	comment	The Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode "Don't Interrupt" revolved around this. A child who constantly interrupts is bribed by his parents with a silver dollar if he'll stay silent while a stranger tells his story. The story is that the man was trapped outside in the snow and his life was saved only because someone looked outside the window and spoke up. And of course, the situation's repeating itself outside, and the kid's the only one facing the window... They still gave him the silver dollar in the end, even though he interrupted a few times...

Unfortunately, the rest of the League is fighting Mordru, a Reality Warper who's attacking Metropolis, so Booster's attempts to radio for backup get this trope. And after Booster saves the day on his own, all he gets is a lecture from Batman for leaving his post.

Not Now, Kiddo / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: In the episode "Where No One Has Gone Before", Wesley tries to tell Riker twice that Kosinski wasn't the one responsible for getting the Enterprise to a different galaxy. Later, Riker's response is unusual for this trope: In the episode "Datalore", acting Ensign Wesley Crusher is the first to suspect that Lore is posing as Data. When he suggests this to the captain, Picard's response is "Shut up, Wesley." Chief Medical Officer Crusher (Wesley's mother) takes Picard to task for dismissing a member of his bridge crew so callously when Wesley tries to interrupt again. Dr. Crusher then cuts her son off with another "Shut up, Wesley." This was after Picard had ordered Wesley to keep an eye on Lore and investigate Data's strange behavior, so it really made no sense to dismiss him. Especially notable as Tasha Yar had asked if Data himself could be trusted. Picard assured her that he could but then tells everyone that it was right to raise the concern except to make Wesley look better for standing up to him. However, since Wesley is quite The Scrappy, viewers still lauded and frequently quote the "Shut up, Wesley!"
