Preemptive "Shut Up" | comment |
Alice tells Bob to shut up and he hasn't even said anything. However, she just knows that Bob's about to offer an opinion—or at least that he would be justified in doing so. This is often used to lampshade Hypocritical Humor or Blatant Lies, or to forestall the obvious answer when Alice has walked into a Double Entendre or Rhetorical Question Blunder. Similar stock responses include "Don't Ask," "Don't say it," "Don't say a word," and "Not one word." For extra humor, the person being told to shut up is occasionally He Who Must Not Be Heard. Compare Inner Monologue Conversation. When it's a lawyer saying this to a client, it's Don't Answer That. It can be an effective source of Rapid-Fire Interrupting. See also Pre-emptive Declaration. Contrast Shutting Up Now. |

In an episode of Coupling, Jane's boyfriend recognizes Susan from somewhere, but he can't place her. He asks if she works in a hospital, because he keeps picturing her in a nurse's uniform. Upon him saying it, Steve immediately snaps, "Thank you Jeff, that will be all! (he takes a beat to realize Jeff isn't even in the building) He's not here, is he? Oh God, I've internalized him!" | |

An Awkward Zombie strip depicted Marth and Roy trying to solve a Rubix Cube. Neither of them are able to do it, but then Link gives it a try... and does so in less than ten seconds. Marth, who was previously dismissive of Link's chances, stops Roy from even finishing his speech bubble. | |

Roseanne: Dan is blasting the girls for hurting Roseanne's feelings (took her to a beauty salon under the guise of being nice for Mother's Day when in fact they just wanted permission to go to an out of town concert). Becky sasses him, Dan snaps at her to "shut up", then turns to Darlene and declares, "and just to get it out of the way, you shut up too!" On another episode, after everyone's heard about Dan beating up Jackie's boyfriend for hitting her, Roseanne says they've become poor white trash, and all they need is "some halfwit sitting in the front lawn eating dirt." Just then, D.J. walks in; just as Darlene is about to say something, Roseanne tells her to shut up. |

At one point, Jennifer Jason Leigh's character in The Hudsucker Proxy gives Tim Robbins an ass-chewing liberally sprinkled with very well-timed Preemptive Shut-Ups every time he starts to open his mouth in his defense. | |

The West Wing: In the first season episode "Lord John Marbury", Zoey, the First Daughter, asks Charlie, President Bartlet's aide, out on a date. Naturally, President Bartlet's Papa Wolf instincts click in, and he's not happy about it, and even though he puts Charlie off temporarily because he's in the middle of dealing with an international crisis, he expresses his displeasure to Leo: | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In "Patty Caper" when SpongeBob tells Mr. Krabs the Krabby Patty secret ingredient has been stolen and gives its clues and Mr. Krabs decides to put the blame on SpongeBob himself, he silences the sponge (complete with Hand Gagging) and says "Don't talk!" when he tries to say he didn't do anything about it. During the climax of "Greasy Buffoons" when Mr. Krabs and Planktons' grease meals go too far, SpongeBob summons the health inspector. When asked about it, SpongeBob tries to say "They've been feeding people grease!", but before he could say the word "grease", he is constantly interrupted by the two in one way or another. This in turn leads to an Overly-Long Gag of them interrupting him before he finally gets the whole sentence out. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "Green Isn't Your Color", Rarity and Fluttershy are both unhappy about Fluttershy's modelling career, but pretending to be excited so as not to hurt the others' feelings, and confide in Twilight. Twilight realizes that just talking would solve everything, but whenever she tries, Pinkie appears out of nowhere and looks threateningly at her to remind her that keeping secrets is Serious Business. In "Where The Apple Lies", we see a flashback where a younger, more talkative Big Mac repeatedly tries to talk Applejack out of adding to her ever growing pile of lies. At one point, when he's about to start lecturing her yet again, she unceremoniously stuffs an apple in his mouth. |

Dorothy gets in a few of these on The Golden Girls, usually phrased something like "Not a word, Ma!" or "Shut up, Ma!" One of the crowners, when Sophia was about do deliver what would have been a doozy, Dorothy turns and says "One word and I cut off your supply of Metamucil." Sometimes the "Shut up" wouldn't even be verbal. In the episode where Blanche's gay brother introduces his serious boyfriend to the girls and says they plan on getting married, he remarks "I'd do anything for Doug, and he'd bend over backwards for me!" Sophia opens her mouth...and Dorothy immediately puts her into a chokehold. "Sometimes I just love to hug my mommy!" Dorothy would also occasionally use food to help keep Sophia's snark at bay. In another episode, Blanche's daughter Rebecca wants to have a baby via artificial insemination, much to Blanche's chagrin: "I have a reputation in this town!" Without missing a beat, Dorothy shoves a forkful of dessert into Sophia's mouth: "Cheesecake, Ma." On another occasion, Dorothy shoves a cookie inside Sophia's mouth before she gets to say something potentially rude. |
