| Shutting Up Now | comment |
This is where a character "voluntarily" decides to be quiet, removing themselves from the argument/conversation. This can be through defeat (being proven wrong), threat, everyone staring at them accusingly or suggestion, or simply because as The lackey they were told to. Common phrases would be "I'll be quiet now" or "Okay, I'll just shut up" or simply trailing off or abruptly falling silent. One key theme of this trope would be that they really do want to talk, but humiliation or perhaps painful humility stops them. Another form of this is when someone realises they're babbling, are clearly making a losing argument, realizing that they have embarrassed themselves or someone else by Saying Too Much or just saying something profoundly stupid and/or offensive, losing track of their analogy and/or are getting increasingly off topic, ending their spiel with "I'll just shut up now". See also That Came Out Wrong and Digging Yourself Deeper for the reasons people may end up shutting up and Chewbacca Defense for a discussion of why this is an admission of defeat. Compare ...And That Would Be Wrong, Change the Uncomfortable Subject, I Have Nothing to Say to That, Open Mouth, Insert Foot. Contrast Preemptive "Shut Up". |

Marie says this in The Bourne Identity on the way to Paris when she explains that she tends to ramble when she's nervous. And she was nervous, because Jason had been stoically staring out of the window the entire time, not saying a word. Jason says he doesn't mind, though, and even asks her to keep going, saying it has been a while since he had a casual "conversation" with someone. | |

In A Bug's Life, Molt starts babbling about Hopper's near-fatal encounter with a bird when the grasshoppers threaten the ant colony, and plays this trope when Hopper threatens him into silence. Molt does it again during the climax, trying to impress upon Hopper the importance of a magician never revealing his secrets and completely ignoring the far more pressing matter of the missing Queen. An expertly aimed piece of grain earns a very meek "shutting up." Molt does it again at the end, when he joins P.T. Flea's circus, and thanks P.T. for hiring him; he gets the caravan door closed on him, leading him to say, "Shutting up." |

Whose Line Is It Anyway?: On a game of Questions only (In which the dialogue of the scene must be composed strictly of questions), Drew buzzes out one of the contestants. During Greatest Hits, Colin would sometimes ramble about something, and usually, Ryan stops him and asks if he's been drinking. Once, Colin puts himself to sleep before Ryan can say anything. |

Looney Tunes: After having had enough of Foghorn Leghorn telling them what to do, the person he has harassed throughout the episode will yell "AHHHH SHADDAP!" while smacking him with the can and he will reply he will shut up while continuing to talk. One cartoon ends this way: Sometimes, a character does this before instigator then tells them to "Shut up shuttin' up". For example, when Bugs Bunny is confronted by a gangster in "Bugs and Thugs": Bugs also does it almost the exact same way in an earlier cartoon, "The Fair-Haired Hare", toward Yosemite Sam, who gives the exact same response as Rocky. |

8-Bit Theater: It takes three knives to the head from Black Mage to get there, but Red Mage does get there. Much earlier in the story, when Black Mage returns to the world after his death (and having forcibly taken over Hell in the few minutes since he died) Thief tries to argue that due to a contract that Black Mage signed before his death, he is still technically Thief's minion. Black Mage responds by simply willing the contract away. This trope is Thief's reaction. |

The Night Unfurls: After Olga teases Celestine about the latter's spiel on how Kyril is "important" to her, Celestine tries to defend herself by saying the knight has been loyal and tirelessly working to help them win the war, so that's why he's important. Olga merely raises one of her eyebrows further, and Celestine promptly gives up in embarrassment. | |

High Anxiety: After Brophy finds out Thorndyke isn't the real killer by enlarging the newspaper picture until he can be seen in the background, the bad guys show up and plan to kill him, but Diesel points out the same picture is on the front page of every local newspaper and they can enlarge it as well. Montague comes with a ridiculous plan to buy every newspaper in the city before anyone can see it. Diesel and Norton just glare at him, and he eventually realizes how stupid he sounds and trails off. | |

In one Batman comic, Batman has just apprehended a crazed serial killer who launches into a mocking "Not So Different" Remark about how Batman is driven by the same bloodthirsty impulses the killer is and that it's only a matter of time before he gives into them. Batman calmly interrupts to point out that if this is true, his first victim is almost certainly going to be any crazed serial killer he happens to be next to, especially if the crazed serial killer in question is insulting him. The crazed serial killer decides that shutting up now is a good idea. | |

Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro: In Chapter 11, sick of her friends teasing him about it, Senpai stands up and makes a loud public statement to the whole cafeteria that he's NOT Nagatoro's boyfriend...and then can't think of anything else to say, so he just sits down thoroughly embarrassed. | |

Beast Wars: One of the numerous Running Gags of the series is Rattrap proclaiming "we're all gonna die!" when a situation looks dire, which would immediately be followed by someone replying "shut up, Rattrap!". In one episode, Rattrap says "we're all gonna die!" and, before anyone else can respond, he adds in "I know, I know, 'shut up Rattrap!'" Subverted in the final episode when the Nemesis is using a tractor beam to pull up the Ark to destroy it in a monstrous bladed mechanism inside the Decepticon warship: |

In Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, after awkwardly stumbling through his "icebreaker" Pac-Man anecdote, Scott shuffles away from Ramona with "I'll leave you alone forever now." She replies with a curt, "Thanks." Then he stalks her until she leaves the party. | |

Merrill in Dragon Age II does this to herself constantly. In the first scene where she meets Hawke, she admits that she's nervous because she's heard so many bad stories about humans but she's sure that there are no bad stories about Hawke, though it's not because Hawke isn't notable enough to have stories told about them and she'll just stop talking now. She later says "I'mbabblingagainlet'sjustgo" very quickly when she embarrasses herself. | |

Used in the The Critic episode "Miserable". Jay uses a cardboard cutout of himself which is hooked up to a clapper to knock out the villain of the episode. However the cardboard cutout's repeated chanting of "Buy my book!" is so incredibly annoying that Jay's best friend Jeremy blows its head off with his gun, saying "It had to be done". When Jay asks why and begins repeating the chant until Jeremy points the gun at him complete with Dramatic Gun Cock. Prompting Jay to say he'll be quiet. | |

Early on in Control, The Board attempts to explain to Jesse what the Objects of Power she must subdue are. Problem: The Board is an extraplanar entity with hyperreal levels of understanding who has an issue of translating even simple concepts into consistent English, and even they quickly realize that it's probably a lost cause. | |
