* HypocriticalHumor example in "Franklin Migrates" from ''Literature/{{Franklin}}''. Franklin is invited by his friend Goose to attend a party for a goose holiday called Migration Eve, but doesn't really know anything about it. He and Bear visit the library, hoping to research it. They get a little too loud and excited while doing so, so Goose's mother, Mrs. Goose, who happens to be the librarian, comes over to remind them to use their library voices. She then mentions that Goose had told her about having invited Franklin to the Migration Eve party and tells him, in her loud, musical voice "Bring your dancing shoes!"

This can be a BerserkButton for some librarians. Usually used in a LibraryEpisode. May cross over with ScaryLibrarian, LoonyLibrarian and EvilLibrarians. Associated sometimes with CringeComedy and HypocriticalHumor when someone yells at somebody else for being too loud. Compare this to DisruptingTheTheater and SpookySilentLibrary.
