History Main / NoisyShutup

** In "Living Witness", Voyager has been given a HistoricalVillainUpgrade by an alien historian 700 years in the future, portraying them as squabbling thugs responsible genocide. Annoyed when a ready room meeting breaks down into a fistfight, Evil Janeway pulls out a phaser and shoots a harmless computer screen to make them stop.

* A scene from ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' plays out like the aforementioned one from ''Film/ThePrincessBride'', with [[CheerfulChild Naomi Wildman]] as Inigo and [[MsFanservice Seven of Nine]] as Fezzik.

* The word for "Shut up" in Japan literally means "Noisy". And, of course, it's usually shouted.

-->'''Hawkeye:''' ''(about the crowd outside the Mess Tent)'' All right, can we have quiet? Can we have a little quiet out there, please? All right, everybody, hold it down a little, will you? ''(realizes this is futile)'' Silence these rowdies, will you Radar?

* Radar on ''http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/Mash MASH'' was sometimes called upon to do this:

* Radar on ''Series/MASH'' was sometimes called upon to do this:

''(Everyone stops talking)''

''(All the noise stops)''

* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/PowerpuffGirls'', Fuzzy Lumpkins yells this... and gets elected mayor because of it.

!!Examples:

* ''KungFuHustle'' has an entire slum of hundreds of people air their grievances to the miserly, miserable old Landlady after she snaps at a resident who just saved them all from getting massacred by gangs. Her response is to calmly put out her cigarette and scream '''SHUT THE HELL UP!''', which lasts so long and so loud that it shatters glass. [[spoiler:It hints that she's not exactly an untrained civilian - her power is based around [[MakeMeWannaShout shouting.]]]]

* ''Film/ThePrincessBride'':

[[AC: Literature]]

* At the end of the third book of ''ASongOfIceAndFire'', the black brothers are in an uproar over something (Jon doesn't know what yet). Jon mentions the various things they're are doing to add to the commotion, including a few people shouting for silence, which, he notes, just makes it worse.

* A ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' example: Everyone in Ten-forward is fighting and making all sorts of ruckus. Security is too overwhelmed to respond. So Guinnan pulls out a very large (and likely illegal) plasma cannon and shoots it at the ceiling, causing a small explosion and making everyone stare at her in shock.

* Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer isn't above enforcing this trope with hurled sharp objects. Examples can be seen in "Checkpoint" and "Potential".

[[AC: {{Manga}} & {{Anime}}]]
* ''Anime/AngelBeats'' episode 5: Between exams, the SSS argue about the methods they're using to sabotage Angel's exam results. [[RuleOfThree Three times this happens]], and three times this ends with Yuri screaming at them to shut up and slamming on her desk (followed by a hasty explanation from Otonashi to Angel about why they're being so loud).
* Germany does this to the other nations in the first ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'' episode.

* ''TheNavyLark'' a bickering meeting of MadBrass is brought to silence by the shout of "SHUT UP or I'll lock up the Gin".

* In an episode of ''PowerpuffGirls'', Fuzzy Lumpkins yells this... and gets elected mayor because of it.

* The word for "Shut up" in Japan literally means "Noisy". And, of course, it's usually shouted.

--> ''*everybody clears a path*''

Related to BigShutUp, but differs because it only applies when the intention is to shut up a noisy crowd, and it involves non-vocal ways of doing so.

* In ''GuiltyBySuspicion'' (a film about the RedScare), at the top of the film we're at a party with lots of people chattering, and one gets everyone's attention by saying "Ladies and gentlemen...Ladies and Gentlemen!....'''COMRADES!''' That got your attention, huh?" Note that it wasn't a communist meeting, just a get-together, but it was later cited as a communist meeting during the protagonit's trial.

* Papa Smurf in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' does this on occasion to stop his little Smurfs from squabbling.

* A great example in ''KungFuHustle''.

* Ginny does this in ''HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince'' film.

** In TheGreatMuppetCaper, Kermit tries to call the meeting of him and the Happiness Hotel's gang to order with a loud, "QUIET!" upon which everyone stops talking...except for Janice. "...So I said, 'Look, mother, it's my life, okay? So if I want to live on the beach and walk around naked- oh." The second time is when everyone is making excuses to not go stop the crooks, Fozzie shouts them down so he can make a RousingSpeech.
** In TheMuppetChristmasCarol, Fozzie, as Fezziwig, tries to get everyone's attention at his Christmas party, Animal bellows, "QUIET!" After the noise stops, he mutters, "Thank you..."

* ''KindergartenCop'' had Arnold Schwartzenegger's character do that to a kindergarten class. They shut up all right... then they start crying.

* An interesting variation occurs in ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''. After Peppermint Butler gets a drop of VERY spicy serum in his eye, he's screaming loudly in pain. Lemongrab (who has NoIndoorVoice) screams at the top of his lungs: "STOP SCREAMING!!! WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING?!"

* In an episode of ''PowerpuffGirls'', Fuzzy Lumpkins yells this... and gets elected mayor because of it.

* ''AngelBeats'' episode 5: Between exams, the SSS argue about the methods they're using to sabotage Angel's exam results.
