* A key component to the treaty, that ended the UsefulNotes/ThirtyYearsWar, was the agreement for neither side to ever blame the other for starting it (so that it does not break out again over the debate), which effectively silenced the topic alltogether in interconfessional meetings. The Westphalian mindset, that wars can break out with nobody at fault, remained dominant in Europe until the [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarI Treaty of Versailles]].

* ''WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared'': After the CREATIVITY EXPLOSION from the first episode, the puppets are sitting around, confused as to what the hell just happened. Sketchbook says they should all agree to never be creative again.

* ''Fanfic/DannyPhantomStranded'': In "Envied", when Misty's Mom asks if she's "trying out for cheerleading again", Misty reminds her they "agreed to never speak of that again".

* ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'': Part of the [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Aiel honor code]] is that, once a debt of honor has been settled, it's dishonorable to remind the person of their past transgression. As such, there's a scene where Egwene confesses a lie to her Aiel mentors, submits to a painful and humiliating punishment, and everyone moves right on afterwards.

* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': In ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManRenewYourVows'', Mary Jane drops in on a couple of kids in the middle of bullying while in costume. She lets them off with a warning, but the bullies get one last shot by calling her "Spider-Mom". In true Parker Luck fashion, MJ slinks off in embarrassment, her mental thoughts proclaiming this trope.

* In ''VideoGame/ShantaeAndThePiratesCurse'', this is Sky's reaction to the events of Tan Line Island, where the girls got mistaken for a princess and put in some...''[[GoGoEnslavement interesting]]'' outfits.

%%'''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]]:''' ...as long as we '''never''' speak of it again!

* ''WebAnimation/SonicForHire'': In Season 7, after managing to rebuild the entire universe, Franchise/{{Sonic}} is surprised at how it was able to be finished [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall in a week]], with Tails stating that he's glad they both agreed to never speak of the logistics of how it was done, giving an AsideGlance.

* ''[[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Movie]]'' gives us this exchange, acknwoledging the movie as a cheap cash-in and agreeing to pretend it never happened:

'''Pegasus:''' I agree. So, from now on, let's pretend it never happened.

* In ''ComicBook/ChaosWar'' #3, while under the influence of Venus's magic song, Amadeus admits to Thor that he loves him. Thor says he loves him too, and then says not to speak of it ever again.

** A panel featuring these exact words appears in volume 4, after Scott discovers [[spoiler:a drunken Knives and Kim making out.]]
** Volume 6 had Scott and Knives making out, [[spoiler:after coming to terms with the end of their relationship.]] It was horrible. For everyone. '''[[NoFourthWall And that includes]] [[FanDisservice you!]]'''
%%* The [[ComicBook/RedHulk Red]] and [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Green Hulks]] agree on this following the [[FusionDance Compound Hulk]] incident in ''ComicBook/{{Hulk|2008}}'' #30. (ZCE: What about this makes them not want to speak of it again?)
* In ''[[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated Transformers Animated: The Arrival #2]]'', after Professor Princess blackmails Starscream into not attacking her (by threatening to broadcast an [[EmbarrassingOldPhoto image of him]] [[http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/3/39/StarscreamProfessorArrivalIssue2.jpg in a wig and makeup]] around the galaxy), a rather perturbed Starscream says this [[VillainExitStageLeft and flies off]].

* In ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}'', PrinceCharming and [[Literature/BeautyAndTheBeast Beauty]] are working in an office during a heatwave. Nearly delirious, they briefly make out. They awkwardly agree never to bring it up again, especially not in the presence of her husband, Beast.
* Subverted in the new ''[[ComicBook/MsMarvel2014 Ms. Marvel]]''. Wolverine would very much like to not talk about the heroine [[spoiler:carrying him on her back when he was wounded]], but the girl unfortunately already uploaded the story on the internet.
* ''Infamous Iron Man'' opens with SHIELD agent and ActionGirl Maria Hill being kidnapped and interrogated by El Diablo (a D-List villain), only to be promptly rescued by, of all people, a reformed ComicBook/DoctorDoom. Upon saving her, Doom immediately promises to never tell anyone about this incident to preserve her reputation.

* In ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManRenewYourVows'', Mary Jane drops in on a couple of kids in the middle of bullying while in costume.

* One of the short stories in ''ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures'' had the time-traveling criminal the Raider take his son Trip and [[ItMakesSenseInContext go back in time to keep George Washington from chopping down the cherry tree and avoid him being forgiven for telling the truth being used against him while he's trying to educate Trip]], only to accidentally destroy the tree himself and Washington claiming he chopped it down because his father would have never believed the truth. Once they're home, the Raider lifts the punishment for Trip dismantling his robot maid as long as nobody ever hears of it.

* In the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse fic ''Fanfic/BecauseIKnewYou Multiverse of Madness: The Clea Cut]]'', when America Chavez sends Peter Parker, Wanda Maximoff and Doctor Strange through various alternate realities, they each end up witnessing embarrassing worlds for all three; a world where Wanda and Stephen are married and doing a stage magic show, a world where Wanda is basically a cartoonish villain, and a world where [[Theatre/SpiderManTurnOffTheDark Spider-Man is a Broadway show known for the dancers having accidents]]. All three agree to the others' request that everyone act as though they never saw that.

%%** Most of the various victors (particularly the Rebel ones) do their best not to bring up what they did in the Games in front of each other. (ZCE: What about this makes them not want to speak of it again?)

* ''Webcomic/{{Evon}}'' [[http://evoncomics.com/?p=1660 Invoked by Evon]] in the wake of meeting her half-brother.[[note]][[AccidentalIncest Who was her first lover]], before she found out who he really was. For the record, he didn't know either at that moment.[[/note]]
